Time Team was always good. I haven't seen the B-17 one before, but the A-26 one is good. They did a few nautical ones too, the last special shown last year was a recreation of a Bronze age vessel.
There wasn't much they didn't try to excavate and they certainly went to many various locations around the British Isles and did some good community work. Alas, the series is now dead, another decent programme off the screen.
Tony has done other history series since, some better than others, but generally quite good.
