This pirate treasure thing on Channel 5 isn't very exciting is it?

[Slubberdegullion]

Vic Reeves in orgasmic raptures about a big lump of lead being lifted out of the ocean.

Oh June Sarpong is excited too.

Oh come on...I want gold dubloons,and gems and skulls.

DH wants us to watch it together. marital bank holiday TV watching bonding.

Oh dear, At least i am allowed to MN too.

DH is watching it (he's interested in the diving bits). Sounds pretty dull, tbh.

I wonder how much vic is being paid for this.

I've never really 'got' vic reeves, I have to say. Give me Tony Robinson any day.

I would like them to find a fully intact skeleton, with a gold tooth, and a jewel encrusted silver dagger lodged in a rib.

Now that would be exciting.

A lump of lead is not. ever.

unless it dropped on someone of course. like June.

Oh I loved Vic & Bobs night out thing (before shooting stars). 'I've fallen' gag still used in this house from time to time.

He is wasted here. Unless it was obvious that he was very bored and yet was trying ever so hard to be facinated by these beardy coin people.

Lumps of lead are not sexy treasure, you're right. Presumably he was lured by the pay and the free holiday. June's a bit annoying too.

Oh dear lord they are looking at a freemasons plate now. have never looked forward to the advertisments more.

DH is enjoying it though.

I'm wondering if June thinks that colourful headscarf she has on is Piratey.

Piratish?

Piratesque?

Is it just me, or is it strange that a film is sponsoring a TV programme?

Piratical?

The POTC ads are the best bit. At least every 20mins we get a glimspe of Johnny or Orlando.

Are they actually showing any POTC films though, do you know? I still haven't seen any of them.

That Nick in his wet suit isn't too hard on the eyes mind.

Mmmm. (just dashed through to have a look). I'm in the next room, so can kind of hear it, and see it by looking over my shoulder. Probably the best way...

Oh you have to see them. They are pure sillyness with attractive people in Piraty get up. The first film was on telly at Christmas. Haven't seen any ads for the films on TV now though, just the new one at the cinema.

DH and I are going to see it next week.

I really wanted to watch it at Christmas, but we had the ILs here, and possibly it clashed with something, and our video was broken, so I didn't manage to see it.

Poor old June stuck with beardy coin guy (also with weird head scarf), you can tell us as many times as you like dear that this is all very exciting...but your eyes betray you.

You are about to slip into a coma. It is only your lurid outfit that is keeping you awake.

I recommend you get them out on DVD, watch the first two in a double bill and then go to the cinema to see the third.

Oh, it's a headscarf thing - it looked like some sort of rubber swimming hat when I glanced at it earlier.

They're definitely going to win the prize for over-use of the word 'exciting'.

Unbelievable horrific leg irons now.

Nicks going back down below. Bye Nick. hello another beardy guy.

Might have to do that.

Maybe it is a swimming cap. Maybe he's really pissed off that he's not in a wet suit going down below, and is wearing his swim cap in protest.

I did wonder!

Or maybe he is a real pirate?

The coin enthusiast thing is a convoluted front. He's lulling June into a false sense of security and the next time we head back to the studio they will be gone....he will have bundled her up in a bag and carried her off to his ship. He'll be selling her some desperado's port next week. Or ransomming her to Channel 5.

Don't pay Channel 5. She's not worth it. She's not pulling off 'I'm excited' by any stretch of the imagination.

I notice he's got a net there, so you could be right.
