caught up fulfilling my civic responsibilities and learning that the only people that end up on juries are those that are too stupid to get out of them.
What's jury duty like, Julie? I don't know whether to be pleased or not that (according to my seminar tutor) I now officially know too much about the law *cough*bullshit*cough* to be called for jury duty. Though I don't think it still applies if I never complete my degree.
Wait! They're making a Regency House? Wonder how far back in time they'll go eventually?
Elizabethan House? 12th Century House? Roman Britain House?
In one of the chats they talk about how the first show of this ilk they did was "Surviving the Iron Age".
Neanderthal cave? No, wait--they did that and called it Big Brother, my mistake.
Edit: damnit--that's what I get for checking the spelling of Neanderthal.
surviving the iron age
was shite. They let them have proper food because of a little bit of the runs.
Yeah, as far as I'm concerned it's not a historical reality show until people start exhibiting symptoms of diseases common to the period in question.
IIRC, Surviving the Iron Age was BBC. And it wasn't very good. The others are C4, and much better. C4 does good history stuff-- recreations, Time Team.
