Bonekickers? Totally bonkers.
I have just got in from a church meeting and was able to watch the last half of the new series Bonekickers - which was in the news and on JW last month as it featured a Christian beheading a Muslim.
It was the biggest load of tosh I have ever seen.
At the point I walked in a team of archaeologists had just dug up some skeletons and what might be a piece of the true cross. Crusaders rise from the grave; lights dim and things fall off shelves. A wealthy and sinister neo Nazi type in a black coat buys the site; his acolytes turn nasty with a rather butch sword after meeting some latter day Saracens.
Lights dim a lot more and more things fall off shelves.
After following a trail of clues concealed in an arcane manuscript called something like the Chronicle of Brother Stephen (cue my husband and the tale of Brave Sir Robin) the archaeologists make their way to a church, which is closed for drain repairs.
However an old farmer leads them to an ancient dovecot with space for 666 pure white doves.
They descend on ropes into the crypt below where there are dozens of wooden crosses, because the Knights Templar couldn't tell which one was the real one. A blaze starts and a fight while swinging on ropes ensues between the neo Nazi and two lady archaeologists. The younger stops him from killing her by singing Jerusalem to him. They escape; a phantom knight appears to the neo Nazi and refuses to save him from the fire. Up above the old farmer calls the fire brigade as the real true cross burns with an unearthly glow.
It wanted to be Raiders of the Lost Ark but was more like plunderers of the lost plot.
Next week the team investigate the US war of independence, slavery and "someone who doesn't want a black man to be US President"
