tictactoeponySpotted a new TV series on yesterday, by the creaters of Life On Mars. Looked like it could be a bit in the Tomb Raider/ Indiana Jones category but on a BBC budget, but decided to give it a go...
We gave up after soldiering on for 20 mins and watched the end of House we recorded last week.
Did *anyone* manage to watch the entire 1st ep of Bonekickers? It was mindlessly awful
The information the main characters were doing a bug exposition on to impress each other was fairly basic common knowledge, the archaeological techniques and "finds" were rubbish, and then it turned to religion and implausibility.
Don't think I shall be wasting to much time.
The only good line was that the new recruit to the team (there for further mindless exposition) was described as having "a winning smile and an inspiriational chest", which as![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
masterofapath pointed out, wasn't even that accurate a comment.
I shall get back to spending evenings catching up on the Tour De France, give me sweaty men in lycra, instead of really rubbish drama, any day..
PS end of series of House was, by comparison, rather good!

Everything the man touches turns to toadshit. Should I have warned people in advance? (He's a bad teacher, a bad administrator, a bad writer and a proverbially bad excavator - not bad eh?)
Tour de France good stuff though.
