"I wanted to wrestle him in the water."

Okay, so I've watched three things recently. I am going to attempt to take my own advice and only talk about the positive - more easy for some shows than others. Ahem.

House of Saddam - brilliant. Sublime. Superb. Bring out what you will, I loved the first ep. The writing, the acting. 10/10.

Gladiators - a really fun ep actually. Forget about the contenders, it's the Gladiators who are being whittled down, and I think it's pretty clear now who is the star of them all. *waves foam hand in the air* Atlas continues to be the endearingly slightly-useless blonde braincell of the men, Oblivion is oddly starting to grow on me, Spartan, er, ( cutting in case anyone hasn't seen how those rounds panned out... )

Bonelickers - *bites tongue* I must remember my own rule. And to be fair, it probably did suffer from my watching it after House of Saddam. Er, the good:
x. It ended.
x. To some extent Matt Rippy. He was pretty, and his opening scene was brilliant in its sheer absurdity as the 'plot' kicked off with the usual mindblowing coincidences/strokes of good luck barely 3 minutes in.
x. The fact that, for once, they managed to make it to the credits without destroying vast swathes of priceless archaeology as they've done the previous eps.
x. Gillian's boss dude and his prancing around in the Roman gear. That was amusing.
