When I went to school in Denmark the greatest joy was to recite the surreal dialog from the team behind Not the Nine o'clock News with my mates. Granted, some of the more malicious jokes must have appealed more to the younger audience than grown-ups with true knowledge of famine and war - but on the whole - it was the greatest introduction to British society and language usage next to Monty Python. Some of the gags were so classical - I've never forgotten them: The court sketch with the judge and the lawyers arguing over how to prenounce "alibi" or the smash-hit-music-video "Good video - shame about the song - oh oh" with the title repeated again and again while all effort was put into making a state of the art video worthy of MTV. I do hope that the DVD will be released in Denmark too - it's classic fun from the eighties! :0D

Yet another excellent presentation from Tony Robinson to the world of archaeology. It's amazing how so many different groups (geologists, divers, diggers, botanists and others) can paint a picture of the original London. And all put together by Tony Robinson, who asks all the right questions and gives the experts an opportunity to explain everything in layman terms. The entire Time Team works together splendidly, also with people outside the team (i.e. divers and others). It would be nice to have all the Time Team digs shown again on one of the "bigger" channels. And/or perhaps to have the idea refreshed and started again with new digs. One can always hope :0) Make the past come alive and give education a kick with the entertaining Tony Robinson and the Time Team - please!
