I was given the bluffers guide to archaeology - looks nothing like the book hes reading [:I]
(was given the book by family mind - i suppose they thought it be a funny present)
I remember when I started my degree (which Im now finishing) where we had to do presentations, we not knowingly used terms like geophys, digging etc that Tony uses on Time Team - which resulted in us getting totally bollocked for it by lecturers.
Yes I think getting Tonys help and opnion on these various matters is a good idea - as he can get our issues out there in the publics eye and celebrity status. He may not be in alot of archaeologists eyes an archaeologist, but he has years more experience than what I have as an undergraduate and many students are enrolling into archaeology courses because of him and Time Team. So should show him alittle respect, he probably now has experience and knowledge to that of many archaeologists out in the field. [?]
