Bearded Historians Discover Real Reason for Stone Circles

Rex Phibb reports from the Peak District
Channel 4's Time Team believe they have discovered the real reason why our pagan forbears built stone circles. Over the course of a four week excavation, the long-haired, bearded and rainbow-sweatered historians pieced together vital evidence pointing to the likelihood that stone circles, such as Stonehenge, were primitive quiz show arenas.

Laughing at the end of every sentence, Time Team stalwart Phil Harding said that they had found stone tablets like those held by William G.Stewart at the Arbor Low stone circle in Derbyshire. "Don't you think it's just a little more than coincidence that the circle looks just like the 15 to 1 stage?" he concluded. "It's unlikely that they'd have been asked questions on films and pop music," said Tony Robinson, "rather they would have posed questions like 'how fucking cold do you think it is now?'"

The Time Team Stone Circle special is due to go out on April 1st.
