last week in 9pm slot bbc had 'criminal justice' - great, thoughtful drama. this week something so woeful i'm offended.
dh reckons it was made with sat tea time slot in mind - ie it's aimed at children. i think he's being kind. and they did just chop someone's head off.
script dire, acting shocking - i keep thinking i'm watching a sketch and waiting for the punchline.
shocking.

Very bad. Nice camera work (although took exception to the decaying body in opening sequence) but really is dumbing down archaeology. Shame , good actors , bad script

they were interviewing the main actress (don't know her name) on This Morning today (not that I ususally watch daytime TV you understand...but it happened to be on) I could tell that Fern and Phil (if that's what the presenters are called, I wouldn't know as of course never seen it before) thought it was a load of old crap.

I asked dh where Tony Robinson was , the opening shot with the archaetypal team (older one in wide brimmed hat) was just so cliched !

Just wasted an hour of life watching this.... it was all the dramatic music when nothing was happening. They're trying to cash in on the indiana jones and dan brown hype - yawn

The lead actress reminds me of Catherine Tate doing the Chelsea mum sketch. Such drama where none req'd. Fast moving though

Complete and utter shit. Can't believe I wasted 30 mins watching it - gave up long before the end. Wish they'd chopped off Professor Magwitch's head off, would have saved us all from her terrible acting.

It was meant to be funny though. Right?

DH chuckled himself out of the room, unable to understand why I couldn't see it was a parody.

What was the lovely, talented Adrian Lester doing in such a pile of manure?
