A contender for the most appalling badly scripted pile of cak on British TV, we are only on the third episode and already we have discovered and then burnt the true cross (i.e. the one Jesus was crucified on) saved A black American senator’s reputation apparently ushering him one step closer to becoming the next president of the United States and found the secret love chamber of Boudica including her perfectly crystallized body.
I never realised archeology was so exciting, in three episodes these guys have racked up more death threats then Salman Rushdie, George Bush and Kathy Sierra put together, excavated in a tidal estuary and a collapsing cave full of sulphurus gases.
The dialogue is so poor that I can only assume that the writers are either deliberately taking the piss or freshly flown in from the Hollywood school of (crap) writing. I was particularly impressed by the scene in tonight’s episode when they had to negotiate a mine field made of buried Roman hand grenades!
I can only assume that the sword that she is obsessed with will turn out to the weapon of the archangel Gabriel.

Total crap.

    Couldnt agree more, I would have thought that a program based on archaeology would at least have bothered to be historically accurate (or even close).

    Why do we pay our license fee when they only make programs fit for imbeciles.

Midnight Express - National Hate Film or True Life Story

Image
I recently made the effort to revisit the 1978 film Midnight Express. The film depicts the apparently true story of Billy Hayes incarceration in a Turkish prison for attempting to smuggle hashish out of the country in 1970, his experiences in prison and his subsequent escape. The film is reviled by the Turks and as I sat there watching it with my Turkish wife I could understand why, the film wheels out grotesque caricature after grotesque caricature of hideously distorted Turkish stereotypes and insulting attacks on Turkish identity. One of the reasons the film is so hated by Turks is that they feel that the movie has done lasting damage to their image abroad, with its extremely negative portrayals of Turkish personalities and not one single portrayal of even a positive character trait let alone a good Turk. Truth & Fiction In Turkey the film is often written off as being a film designed to make the Turks look bad and based on lies. This is largely due to the sensationalist depi...

Eskişehirspor for life

It might come to some as a strange turnaround for me to decide to support a football team for the first time in 33 years having spent the rest of my life sitting on the fence as to which football team I support. When it comes to supporting national teams then no problem I always follow England and Turkey as family ties dictate, but when it comes to supporting local clubs I have never found one relevant enough to me to take an interest and to support any of the teams my friends support i.e. Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester united just makes no sense after all I’m not from north London or Manchester so these clubs hold little relevance to me on a personal level. That all changed on the 26th October in Eskisehir when the decision was taken out of my hands. I went with my brother in law, sister in law and wife to watch Galatasaray play Eskisehir in the Turkish super league at a bar in Eskisehir city centre just outside the stadium. In an historic game Eskişehirspor hammered Galatasaray 4-2 ...
