Sunday night brings with it the realisation that I have to get up for work the next day. Preparation generally means spending the hour leading up to bed watching Time Team. Perhaps a touch of irony then that tonight's episode has some dodgy editing. One of the segments between ad breaks is actually from a different episode - a time discontinuity. One minute there is a Roman site, the next they are excavating a medieval great hall in a different county. Next ad break, they are back with the Romans. Thing is, the medieval one looked a lot more interesting. Obviously it is just sloppy editing, but I am reminded of books where there is a teaser chapter of the next volume in the series at the end of the book. Would they be more effective if the teaser chapter was dropped in the middle?

Oooh - The Stranglers have just turned up at the Roman dig. I was listening to Rattus Norvegicus yesterday - for the first time in years. Coincidence? Well yes.
