The Viceroy Sent for Me

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

' One's whole life is devoted to re-creating the past and making it live '-Sir Mortimer Wheeler 's battle cry until he died in 1976. The second of two Chronicle films on the life of the great archaeologist takes him from a Roman trading station on the Bay of Bengal to Mohenjo Daro - the great city of the Indus Civilisation. In 1950 he returned to Britain to begin a new career-in television, where he enchanted millions.
