Let's face it, the bulk of archaeology is un-newsworthy slog. Anything that gets people even vaguely interested must be a bonus.
Personally, I'm all for it. If you've never seen six people simultaneously feign falling into a Persistent Vegetative State, you should accompany me to the pub of a Thursday and watch what happens when I say "post hole". Any programme even loosely related to digging that invokes a response bereft of eye-rolling, pantomime yawning and stage snoring, is OK by me.
I *dream* of being asked daft questions about archaeology. It'd make a change from being pointed to and laughed at.
