In August 2010 she presented a one-hour documentary on BBC Four, "Wild Swimming", inspired by Roger Deakin's book "Waterlog". Roberts presented a four-part BBC Two series on archaeology in August–September 2010, "Digging for Britain". Roberts explained, "We’re taking a fresh approach by showing British archaeology as it's happening out in the field, from the excitement of artefacts as they come out of the ground, through to analysing them in the lab and working out what they tell us about human history." The series returned in 2011 and again (on BBC Four) in 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019.
