Tony Robinson went down with Alice...

If they dig up a skeleton with its head up its arse and a foot in its mouth, they'll know why we haven't seen Prince Philip for a while.

Normally, 'Time Team' is one of my favourite programmes - but Friday's introductory episode, of this Bank Holiday royal palace digging up series, was a load of old wank!! Loads of inane chatter and glamorous, archeological bimbos pointlessly running about. What I want to know is, is there going to be any SERIOUS DIGGING??!! Just f..king well get on with it, that's all!!!

Course they won't find anything, all they ever find anyway are bits of brioken plantpot and some git on a hundred grand a year says it's Roman for fucks sake.

They won't find anything that reveals anything about this bunch of inbred chinless cretins.

Thanks, Paul, Paul for the links! To this Colonial it will be fascinating I am sure. Just finished a Caleb Carr "Sherlock Holmes" novel. "The Italian Secretary," which took place at Holyroodhouse. Is it pronounced "holly" or "holey?"

"Why red Hair?" ??? What a stunned question.

Saturday's episode was just as annoying and completely devoid of any interest whatsoever. Who is that extremely irritating and manic woman that they've got covering the Windsor dig?

Also I wonder, when they come to tidy up, they're planning to inter that smug Scottish git with the long hair in the completely boring mound in the grounds of Holyroode whatever-it-is ... hope so!!

Lovely red-haired Alice did it in the kitchen with the spatula, sung to the tune of "The Red-Haired Boy."

Cheerily,
Charley Noble

Can't say I'm a Time Team fan (are there many archaeologists who actually are?) but must leap to the defence of the lovely Alice who is very lovely.

No! Alice could have me if she played her cards right (although actively colluding with dumbers down loses her a few points) . It's that silly, hysterical, blond woman who annoys me!

Less presenters and more diggers would have been a definite plus....

Its a funny programme all right. It reminds me of Tomorrows World. Its that terribly English vice of being 'nearly interesting'.

You can imagine all these self consciously 'intelligent' families sitting there and watching it.

At least with all this recycling - they won't be able to dig up much of our old rubbish.

Personally I think it would be more interesting if they went to some old music venues - like where The Beatles and The Stones and Paul Simon, Bix Beiderbeck and Robert Johnson did their gigs. And tried work out what it must have been like.

It would be more interesting - I seem to have seen that bloke in the rainbow jumper and Tony going bananas saying - wow that is amazing a piece of Viking flower pot! This is where Olaf the gladiator had his jacuzzi, you can see that line of mud was the wall - well too often!
