Fair points all well made, but i still stick by what i said. I feel they set their stalls out a little early on. I was taught to let the evidence speak first, then you can form an opinion, not form a hypothesis, then make (hopefully) the facts fit (or not).
Rightly or wrongly I think that is part of the plan isn't it to give the viewer an 'expectation' of what they may be possibly looking at. Remember for most people Archaeology is one of the most boring subjects ever so keeping a hope alive and speculating on something before being 'proven' is just part of the plot I feel. And of course a programme has never gone by when they didn't all have different ideas early on at what they were looking at. Keep the suspense going is I feel just part of it all. Let's face it they have all become actors as well now haven't they! But I love it.
