Tony Robinson and team are at a dig near Mametz in France. They are there to search for the remains of a Livens Large Gallery Flame Projector – a weapon believed to have been deployed for the first time on 1 July 1916, the first day of the Battle of the Somme.

Intriguing video. But I have to add I am a fan of Tony Robinson, especially his rendition of Baldrick, Blackadder's (Rowan Atkinson) batman in Blackadder Goes Forth. A British comedy set in the trenches of WW1. He is absolutely hilarious.
