Well I enjoyed that [random scene of violence] programme, and found it very informative [Scooby Doo soundtrack] despite the efforts of the Time [random scene of violence] Watch team. Whoever directed it [it's a fact... we're scientists] should be ritually murdered and [not so random scene of violence] dumped in a [we're simply finishing Nature's work] bloody bog!

Odd one wasn't it.

The advanced metal working was very interesting.

However, I think Ned Kelly has missed the point. I reckon he's so close, but not quite there.

He was saying that the bodies in the boundaries are offerings by the kings to ensure a good harvest. He needs to read The White Goddess! They're not offerings <i>by</i> the kings to ensure a good harvest, they <i>are</i> the bodies of the kings who didn't provide a good harvest! King for a year and then you're dead if you were crap :-)

I shall be writing to Mr Kelly

I know what you mean, but we're stuck with it as they attempt to make it appeal to the masses & fit in with the way programmes 'look' nowadays....

It was interesting, but didn't say a lot we haven't already heard about bog bodies - despite the Michael Praed's script trying to make it sound like they learned loads of new stuff.
