It’s the 1st of April, and let’s celebrate the start of a new month with an exclusive deleted scene from our excavation of the fogou at Boden in Cornwall.

On Day Three, John Gater’s geophysics made a truly extraordinary discovery, highlighting the sophistication of today’s scanning technology. We always knew that John would come up with the goods, but it’s fair to say that his findings left the team of experts perplexed.

If you can help us shed light on this unbelievable turn of events, please do leave your suggestions in the comments.

April fools!

Ann H

Extraterrestrials, of course. Or King Arthur found at last.

Jeff Cork

If only GPR could produce that, you guys would be unemployed. All thanks to John, again!

David Boon

After a long week at work in Australia I excitedly opened the email. Got me!

Mad Mitch

That rare beast Aprilisstultusaur

Joel Murdoch

Obviously a giant's skull. What, you guys have never seen one before? Pfft, amateurs!

Mad Mitch

I stand corrected, it is the much more common Aprilisstultus Ingentii, we get them round here all the time.

Susie Stockton-Link

Sounded like it might've got Carenza -mind you, she's a jolly good actress!

Beth

It's Cornwall. Everyone knows Cornwall is full of pirates. You have discovered a Pirate.

John McFeeters

Rare there perhaps but here in Canada the woods are filled with Lirpa Loofs. Only seen live ones so seeing the skull of one was a treat.

Irene Daly

I don’t understand why it was deleted from the programme if it is such an incredible discovery. Surely there’s a case for conducting another dig or test pit?

Brian Shrum

It must be one of the non-orphans that lied to the Pirates of Penzance. I always felt sorry for those pirates, having no parents to instill proper non-piratical values in their lives.

Dorothy Africa

April Fool!! Born on a leap year, too, no doubt.

Jonathan Everett

Ha ha - all those months in the planning - thinking a head

Artesian

What if it's not a joke?

deadmanjones

Still less impressive than a football pitch

Trish Murphy

I new giants were real ✌️💚

Peter Farrington

Nice one, well done John, pity it's not a Cyclops.

Mike Tedham

Don't think Hollywood will be calling on John's acting skills anytime soon.

James Matney

To funny. all work no play hun

Jon Colcord

I want to know who the gullible woman off camera was who got totally punked!

Yeti in the UK. Were there large footprints found hardened in the clay? 😉

We’re going to need a bigger trowel…

Nick Joy

Peter Lee

Omg. That’s just hilarious.

Jude Edling
