This is interesting. Time Team S13 E12 on You Tube excavated a Roman Mansio and Tax Collection point on Steyne Street, Alfoldean, Sussex. Relevant part starts at 40.0 out of 47.53 minutes.

Sadly, LDS who owns the vid, won't allow NZers to watch it... It must be too grown up for us.

Shame, basically it is a video of Time Team excavating a Mansio on Steyne Street, roadhouse where Roman officials could rest, exchange horses and it was also a tax collection point, probably and mainly iron which was a controlled substance. It was big and there was substantial built up area too for traders etc. It was abandoned long before the Romans left because the iron ran out. Hence the increased importance of Forest of Dean.

Hello again,
Strange, I thought it was the World Wide Web. This morning You Tube had a vid. from Australia from a model hobby shop re new scale model plastic kits. They have a lot of Who Do You Think You Are Au.

Hello Roger
I live in NZ, not Australia. We have access to a lot of WDYTYA on YouTube (even the Oz episodes), and a lot of other copyright material as well. It is quite unpredictable when we will be locked out.
I understand that we may be locked out from viewing on public sources such as YouTube if (for example) the subject video is part of a TV series that has been sold to one of the NZ TV broadcasters, and is either currently being broadcast, or will shortly be on the air. Perhaps it has already been broadcast in Britain and is therefore in the public domain there.
A great deal of the material from Time Team is available here via YT - the earlier series for example, so perhaps this one will come out here later. A great deal of the material being broadcast from the BBC via iPlayer is not available here unless you go to extraordinary lengths to mimic a valid address in Britain.
This can all be very frustrating. The poor darlings who own the copyright seem to be terrified that they will lose viewers if it is seen on the WWW prior to broadcast.
