Jennifer Saunders' Memory Lane
Very odd continuity, notice Saunders driving in stylish black leather gloves, the backs of the gloves fenestrated. Then a shot of a gear change and the press of a starter button on the dash, low budget Top Gear, the hand was noticeably bigger and the gloves brown. That's lazy editing, as if the director had fallen asleep during the live shoot.
Digging Up Britain's Past
It's ruined by the intrusive music, playing over the top of people talking. Especially in museums, who thought that was good programme making?.
It lacks any jeopardy or surprise, which made Time Team so enjoyable
The wandering off to talk about social history is fine, but it's a bit out of the "Who do You think you are" playbook.
No concluding big picture and most of the "evidence" they talk about is not shown on screen. A hand forged nail was given as evidence of great "industrial production at the Bridgewater Canal" And when they got chance to visit a blacksmith did they make one of those hand forged nails, no, they made a pick. Then in the one on Bishop Aukland Castle, they go off and see a Trebuchet, with only one camera, so we don't even get to see it hurling . This is YTS history.
Alice Roberts is Premier division this is the junior school sports day.
Archaeology dumbed down to muzak.
