Two decades after the Mary Rose was raised, archaeologists returned to the wreck site to discover what was left behind. Timewatch followed the process and looked at the archaeological detective work that has been carried out over the past two decades. Secrets of the Mary Rose tells the story of not only the artefacts discovered on board, but also reveals the stories of the sailors themselves. The bones of over half the ship's crew were recovered in the 1980s; their remains shed light on how they lived and died. Dramatic reconstruction and detailed graphics provide a glimpse into a lost world: what emerges is a detailed picture of what life would have been like on a Tudor warship. (PAL format) £15
