The Great British Dig: History in Your Back Garden is a factual television programme about community archaeology, that airs on More 4 and Channel 4, produced by Strawberry Blond TV.

[1] Presented by comedian and actor Hugh Dennis along with three archaeological experts, each episode sees the team arrive in a local community somewhere in Britain, and knock on people's doors to ask if they can dig in their gardens and shared spaces.

The show typically opens with Hugh meeting the experts, who explain what they're looking for that week, and who then drag him off to rally local support in the hope of drumming up some volunteers.

In addition to Hugh Dennis, the show is presented by university lecturer Chloë Duckworth and commercial archaeologist Natasha ('Tash') Billson.

[8] The community involvement and accessibility of the show has been praised by reviewers,[9] with a Daily Mail write-up commenting, “it’s enough to make you wonder what might be lurking under your own garden…”[10] In 2021, it was shortlisted for Best Popular Factual Programme in the Broadcast Digital Awards.
