The trailer looks really exciting...can I be an archaeologist too? I bet they must get paid a fortune as well.
Something that grabs me about this advert and it's ilk in the UK is that archaeology often comes across as a fun thing to do. I know that they have to sell this to the viewers - but I can't remember the last time I actually had fun on site.
Hard bloody labour? tick Trouble making the rent on basic? tick Trouble with p*ssy clients? tick Getting told that you should not complain as there are plenty of people who would do your job for free? tick Fun? Good one, like it.
"Part reality show"? Please, spare us that nonsense. At least there are some familiar faces that are NOT in the advert. (And I thank all the old Deities for it :-) )
