History Hunters is a British television series that aired on Channel 4 from 1998 to 1999.
Presented by the actor Tony Robinson, the show was a spin-off of the archaeology series Time Team, first broadcast on Channel 4 in 1994.

Local farmer Dick Knight described how his grandfather was the last working maltster in the village.
Decision-makers at Channel 4 liked the programme and gave the go-ahead for six more, but showing them on Saturday afternoons was doomed to failure and the series sank without trace.
