Heart skipped a beat as adrenalin began to flow and temper levels started to rise - then realised it is a spoof.
For real, though. We need some payback from the likes of Robinson et al. If any of you know the producer of Time Team (Tim Taylor) can you prod him to turn his attention to helping us out now please?
