Bonekickers (2008)
7/10
Much better than others would have you believe
18 August 2008
Having read the comments on here to see if this show was worth watching i very nearly deleted it without even giving it a chance. You would think that the academics with a professional interest who have slated the show from the very first episode would welcome the exposure and interest in their field. What would they prefer 6 hours watching someone unearth a broken pot with a paintbrush? If you like ancient mysteries and alternative history theories and don't mind if the truth is embellished and exaggerated to help the story along then you will enjoy this. I have watched all 6 episodes in about 1 week which tells me i must have enjoyed it. Well done to the Beeb for doing something away from mainstream drivel. It will be a shame if there's no second series as i am looking forward to it already and with a bit more thought this could go from OK to very good there's certainly the scope.
