The BBC's new archaeology drama.

[Beardstroker]

According to http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/programming/...drama.html

the Beeb are going to make a new drama set around the exciting world of history and archaeology:face-huh:

quote:BBC Drama has commissioned a new drama series based on the world of archaeology.

Bone Kickers will be a six-part drama for BBC One. The programme has been conceived by Matthew Graham and Ashley Pharoah - co-creators of Life On Mars - along with Michele Buck and Damien Timmer of Mammoth Screen.

Set in Bath, an excavation team aim to uncover artefacts which they hope will unlock the mysteries of the past. Lead character Gillian, a fiery Celt, has to battle against her academic nemesis, the arrogant, urbane TV historian Daniel Mastif, in a race find a much sort-after artefact, a quest which drove her own mother insane.

Polly Hill, BBC commissioning editor for independent drama, said: "Bone Kickers takes history and archaeology and makes it sexy, accessible and exciting.

What does she mean makes it sexy and exciting? It already is, isn't it?

Bone Kickers?

If you're interested in Archaeological Arse Kickers, you should've watched Out For A Kill on Five US last night. Vengeful and fashionably mulletted thief-turned-archaeology professor Steven Seagal cuts a laugh-out-loud martial arts swathe through the cream of the Chinese mafia, after they kill both his wife and his academic partner. Wow! :face-approve:

Will they both have to battle an evil consultant? And what's next, WSI?

Your powers are weak, Curator

The baddie should be an unscrupulous developer, with twirlable mustaches. Consultants are only henchmen. Though the 'quest' is more likely to involve more exotic locations than building sites. Roslyn chapel again, perhaps?

Stay away from my patch... I have enough trouble with albino consultants as it is..
