Kerry Ely (1961-2025)

Long running team member, infamous prankster and all-round Mr Logistics Kerry Ely returned to the fold for the new Broughton Roman villa dig. Kerry first joined the show as a digging archaeologist on the suggestion of his close friend, Mick Aston. He later moved into the production side and was key to organising everything on site, from helicopters to portaloos. Kerry played an integral role in keeping everything running smoothly, both on and off screen.
