Oh dear.. I iplayer-ed it (new verb!) last night and I don't know if there was some sort of subliminal messaging added to the iPlayer version, but if I concentrated on ignoring the archaeology and history (in a "la-la I can't hear you" way), I quite enjoyed it and I seem to remember smiling occasionally!
It rejoined the realms of proper telly with the on-site banter. Ok, there's the whole stereotype thing, but I don't do PC, the Brits turning up in a Landy and the Germans arriving in a Merc, Marmite, Fish Fingers.... and then the bookish one solves the mystery just as the adventuous ones get back from their death defying activities. Scooby Doo, maybe, but it was fun!
I wonder if things would have been less controversial if they'd all been like this :face-thinks: I know that next week's is bound to be awful as they need to have the obligatory big finale, but I just thought that I would highlight the series 20-odd minutes of glory :face-approve:
