Channel 5's archaeology programme, Digging Up Britain's Past, last night was set in Pendle and was called Witches. The series aims to explore fascinating periods in British history and I think this one is about the Pendle witch trials.
I haven't seen the episode on witches yet, but I did manage to catch an episode last week about Robin Hood and King John, which I enjoyed. I'd describe the series as Time Team-light. You can watch Witches here: https://www.my5.tv/digging-up-britains-past/season-1/episode-4-2-2-3
Earlier episodes are on the Viking invasion and Stonehenge and are also available to catch up on My5. I think I know what my viewing will be today.
ADDED NOTE: I've just watched what I Tivo'd last night and it seems Channel 5 broadcast a different episode than the one advertised. It was about the Black Death in the 14th century. Hopefully they will show the one about witches at a later date.
