HISTORY in the U.K. has commissioned WW2 Treasure Hunters\u00a0<\/em>(working title), a brand-new series from Emporium Productions, featuring Suggs, the frontman of British ska band Madness.<\/p>\n

The 8×1-hour series will premiere on HISTORY in the U.K. later this year. WW2 Treasure Hunters <\/em>will see Suggs and WW2 militaria expert Stephen Taylor bring forgotten stories of World War II back to life by unearthing artifacts from former military sites across the U.K. They will use state-of-the-art technology and original WWII archives and maps to dig at forgotten sites, including former military bases, airfields, POW camps and barracks. Suggs and Taylor will then share the stories and people behind the artifacts they uncover, meeting with survivors, experts and historians to understand what happened at each of the locations.<\/p>\n

Dan Korn, the VP of programming for A+E Networks UK, commented, \u201cWW2 Treasure Hunters <\/em>continues our ambition to explore periods of historical importance in new, dynamic, ways. Though Britain courageously held out against the forces of Nazi tyranny, our landscape is littered with scars and signs of this unique period of our history. In this series, history enthusiast Suggs and WW2 relics expert Stephen Taylor investigate previously unexplored sites to reveal the relics and mementos left behind from a nation at war.\u201d<\/p>\n

Emma Read, the managing director of Emporium Productions, who will also serve as executive producer, said, \u201cAs memories fade and relics are lost to the earth, it\u2019s vital that we document our shared experience of a brutal war here in Britain before it\u2019s too late.\u00a0WW2 Treasure Hunters\u00a0<\/em>reveals evidence of the hidden history of long forgotten military sites that were vital in that struggle, as well as the people who worked so hard for victory.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
