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.

Ha Ha Ha.
your title made me LOL.

pmsl at thread title. Dh thinks it's good. I'm bored, but allowing him to watch it and will turn over to Big Brother at 10.

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

DANCESwithLordPottingtonSmythe · 08/07/2008 21:42

I started watching, finished on here! Comedy letcherous old archaelogist is just so naff

mamabea · 08/07/2008 21:45

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.

LIZS · 08/07/2008 21:46

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

DANCESwithLordPottingtonSmythe · 08/07/2008 21:56

Oh it's even better now...archaelogist torches biggest find of century. Tool.

iBundle · 08/07/2008 21:56

SWITCHED OFF AFTER 12.7 SECONDS

LaVieEnRose · 08/07/2008 21:56

oh this is bad, a 5 year old could have written it

scrappydappydoo · 08/07/2008 22:03

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

BreeVanderCampLGJ · 08/07/2008 22:04

Can I just point out.....................

This was on BBC, we all paid for this.

What a pile of steaming poo..

Flum · 08/07/2008 22:05

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

mumdebump · 08/07/2008 22:10

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.

spicemonster · 08/07/2008 22:12

That was utter cack. I can't remember seeing anything so trite since Lazytown

BreeVanderCampLGJ · 08/07/2008 22:15

Oooooooooooohhhhhhhhhh

Terry Wogan will have a field day in the morning.

wotnopulling · 08/07/2008 22:15

an enthusiasm for fruit and veg (lazytown stylee) would have improved it.

I was waiting for Dan Brown to turn up.

spicemonster · 08/07/2008 22:20

Or a song perhaps? Oh I suppose we did get a few lines of Jerusalem thrown in at the end from her with the beatific voice

TheOldestCat · 08/07/2008 22:21

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?
