Excellent! I'll check those out, probably as soon as I post this. I love Tony as a presenter, although he's completely dim about archaeology and even about history. A day or so ago I played the YouTube of his program on the "Real King of England", where he tracked down the Plantagenet heir in Australia. :^) That guy has since passed away, leaving the "title" to his male descendant.
I've visited the replica of Seti the Great's tomb (KV17), it's really nice, I think it's still on tour somewhere in the US (or perhaps not), but the original is larger, and (despite what it says at this page) one of the largest tombs, not the largest -- the largest by far is KV5, and the largest single room in an Egyptian tomb is in Ramesses the Great's (KV7).
