Appearance as expert on historic landfill in BBC documentary.

Press/Media: Media Coverage or Contribution

Description

Appearance in BBC science documentary, 'The Secret Life of Landfill'. I appeared as an expert, leading the first of three digs on historic landfill sites. My research into the beginnings of our throwaway society underpinned the narrative of the documentary (concerning how we became waste-makers). There was associated local press coverage in the Yarmouth Mercury and regional radio coverage on BBC Radio Norfolk.
