I'd managed to forget his involvement. I remember Guy de la Bedoyere storming off part way through because it was all so badly organised and he didn't want to be associated with it any more, so they brought Martin Millett in. And the local council objected to the colour of the tiles on the roof, because it was in a conservation area.
You can always tell a Brummie... but you can't tell him much

Tiz good telly!
Was hugely amused to hear the guys whining about the amount of labour involved although it would be obvious to anyone (who has `read a book` or not) that tradesmen had labourers. Times have changed-the only workers on sites today who shift vast quantities of muck by hand in hideous conditions and under pressure is us! On the Professor whatshisface issue......the man has no management skills, no manners, an offensive mouth and quite frankly, is just another example of someone else in archaeology who thinks he`s special. In my day as a construction worker-that little tantrum would have cost him dearly in dentistry invoices.
A good bit of telly though and I will be watching more of that. :face-approve:
