Ancient Invisible Cities BBC TWO, 9.00PM; NOT SCOTLAND

Following last week’s Egyptian adventure in Cairo, the intrepid Dr Michael Scott turns his attention to Athens. Here he descends into the dankest, tightest holes in search of the foundations of ancient Greece, and turns up some fascinating material, from the temples of Athens to the ports that harboured the fleets that repelled the Persians. There’s digital recreations too, which are as remarkable as the marbleand-rock reality.
