This weekend, HBO will introduce audiences to a new fantasy world with
The Nevers, the latest blockbuster series created by Joss Whedon (who left the show last year). Centered around a group of Victorian women who discover unusual abilities, relentless enemies, and a desire to change the world, as the logline notes,
The Nevers will be another genre-bending TV event, particularly with the adult-friendly paid cable company constantly on the search for their next
Game of Thrones. Certainly, if the show does well,
The Nevers could boost the profile of its notable cast, which includes Laura Donnelly, Olivia Williams, James Norton, Tom Riley, and Nick Frost. If you re wondering why this distinguished ensemble looks familiar, we re here to help. Here s where you ve seen
In The Dig, a fictionalised real-life account adapted from a novel, Ralph Fiennes plays Basil Brown, a local excavator with a love for astronomy, who has a reserved outer shell. Replying when spoken to, Basil is a warm-hearted, unflinchingly loyal man of few words who is a genius excavator; his modesty doesn’t allow him to say he’s an archeologist.
The real Basil had a mind for academics: he held diplomas with distinction for astronomy, geography and geology through correspondence courses; he had left school at the age of 12 to assist his father who was a tenant farmer (ie a farmer who resides on a landlord’s property).
In Netflix s British drama
The Dig, archaeologist Stuart Piggott, played by Ben Chaplin, refers to a brief stop in Malta in 1943 while travelling from Cairo to Algiers.
Accompanied by fellow archaeologist Glyn Daniel, the pair spent two “blissful” days on the island, “inspecting megalithic monuments and rock-cut tombs on the island, several spattered with bits of German and Italian aircraft,” as stated by the British Academy’s Roger Mercer in 1998.
But, in a post on Facebook, the National Museum of Archaeology says that Piggot was, however, to leave a more significant mark on Maltese archaeology.
He was one of the external experts on a commission supervising the defining study, Malta Ancient Monuments Survey, which recorded Malta s prehistoric monuments, excavations and objects found there.

Netflix drama film The Dig about the Sutton Hoo excavation has proven to be quite the lockdown hit. Carey Mulligan stars as the widowed Edith Pretty opposite Ralph Fiennes’ self-taught archaeologist, who she hires for a dig on her land in 1939. One of the fellow archaeologists who joins the team is Lily James’ Peggy Piggott, portrayed as something of a bumbling and inexperienced sidekick who accidentally puts her foot through the top of an Anglo-Saxon burial chamber.
