The Quest
The discovery of a cave packed with treasure is everyone's dream. But the reality for Devon cavers was thousands of animal bones in a time capsule revealing the nature of the county's prehistory.
It happened at Buckfastleigh in the 1930s and led to the setting up of Britain's leading Cave Study Centre. Can it happen again? In the second of two programmes Andrew Cooper joins the cavers and scientists working against mud, boulders and rising water in their search for a new cave. Written and directed by ANDREW COOPER
