Julian Richards Julian is probably best known as the presenter of TV's Meet the Ancestors and Blood of the Vikings. An archaeologist and historian he has a great curiosity about all periods, about the places, the buildings and the objects, but most of all about the people. He says: "The past surrounds us all, it is part of our everyday lives whether we are aware of it or not and my ‘mission’ is to bring this past to life, to tease out the fascinating stories that it has to tell."
