Bonekickers

Just watched Bonekickers on the BBC iPlayer.

I know that it's only the first episode but I think it might now be my favourite programme! The preview of next week's episode looked really good too.

Anyone else watch it? What did you think?

It's really good, its about archeologists. I'm such a geek so I love stuff like that.

Next week is about a slave-ship bound for the US which wrecked on the Brit coast (I think, that's what the trailer seemed to suggest anyway).

Sounds quite interesting; I'll check it out Smile

(What do you guys think of iPlayer now they've changed it round? I think it's a bit confusing!)

i really did not like it, but maybe it will take a few more watches before i get into it

I was going to watch that but forgot, talking of the i-player, i downloaded a programme off bbc1 last night, about the man who had 20 kids and they came from Wales, did anyone else see it and what did they think about it? Smile

I saw it and all I was thinking was: "wouldn't it be better to get them kiddies sheets for their bed rather than other stuff for christmas?" it's not even like they cost too much these days for just plain sheets.

As I see it theres a difference between "clean mess" when you have kids and dirty mess, and that house definately fell into the dirty mess category Sad

Aye exactly. I've known what it was like to have less than that lot, my ma couldn't even afford to buy me a bed at one point because of my dad. And yet our house was still spotless, we were still neatly dressed, well behaved and all the rest. Even Netto's food was too expensive for us really and that was without any alocohol addictions or anything bad like that and her doing her very best for us.

How are those kids expected to go out and do better when they're being shown it's okay not to?
