Quote:quote:It's been regulalry refered to as 'car- crash television'. It's a shame that the archaeological advisor to the series has decided, instead of leaping clear of the accident, to sit amongst the wreckage and flames, cheerfully waving his big hat to the crowd of concerned onlookers, and trying to convinces them that this was precisely how he wanted to spend his holiday, and anyone who didn't want to agree that it was a terribly good holiday was an obvious candidate for sectioning.
I tried 3 times to read this out loud... however... every time I collapsed in tears of laughter, with the image it produced... the saddest thing is... its not wrong... it is hysterically funny... it is however absolutely bang on.
I think you are right... the article was there to be challenged, to stimulate debate.. well.. it did... and the result?
ps.. you are not wrong about the posts on the BBC and fan site.. (I thought fan site was a bit of a misnomer... )
The article quotes only the first viewing figures .. which is funny, as it was written after a few episodes.. :face-huh: people had expectations. given the hype... we tuned in... then we tuned out.. now we drop out. I for one wish the author steps out and goes.. fair point... on x y and z but hey... these bits are true. Don't insult without expecting a reply.
