In his writing and portraying of an academic, middle-aged, male, sexist archaeologist (yawn, yet another stereotype)... I wonder who his role model is? Be interesting to hear what his students / colleagues over at Bristol think!
Just think he is riding the crest of the Bonekickers wave. He might have his BBC future all sown-up (Coast, Bonekickers... who knows what else), so he really just doesn't care who he upsets or rattles so long as his programmes remain in the public domain. All publicity is good publicity.
Then again, I could be totally wrong... maybe he is just plain naive and doesn't fully comprehend the furore he is creating. Hmmmm...
Anyway, you can polish a turd so many times but, in the end, it is still just a turd. Bonekickers is just a turd dressed up as entertainment.
I hate every ape I see,
From chimpan-a to chimpanzee,
You'll never make a monkey out of me!
