Eeeh, interesting to hear she was just as unprepossessing in real life...
I suppose the divide makes sense - the archaeologists/professional researchers are excited about their work, but also professionally impartial about the potential results, whereas the pro-Richard hopeful and the Channel 4 tv team were hyping it all up from their own points of view... Its a shame the BBC turned down the documentary (so I gather) - I wonder if it would have been so much better... but then I wonder what their reasons were for turning it down... I can imagine one of them being creative control... *g*
I like your pics - the sunny optimism of the dig itself, rather than any overwrought hype! *g*
