Timewatch on Hadrian\'s Wall

Quote:I know most of the experts associated with the programme but not the lady from Cardiff.

Well she was at the last ESG bash at Caerleon I went to (I stood next to her in the queue for grub) so you were either not paying attention or AWOL!

Quote:What happened to our Kate?

She was probably out yomping when the slithy researchers rang (either that, or she found out how much they were paying ;-).

I have retired from the legion Mike and been on my patch of land in the territory of the Deceangli these past three years.

I missed it, too.
There's a teaser-trailer here, though. Any sign of a re-broadcast?

Grr, Pick of the Week has loads of BBC2 garbage and no Timewatch. If anyone does see a repeat please post!


A snow Roman? What a great idea - must try that next time!

That's nothing: you should try drawing Imperial-Gallic helmets on beaches with a big stick (they have to be at least 20m across and damp shellsand in the Hebrides gives the best results). Great for relieving stress...

I have asked Jasper to post a picture of a Snow Roman I did many years ago!

Thanks for that Jasper.

Yes Robert well spotted, right on both counts! Frightening to think I painted it almost twenty years ago and well before the Fectio tower!

I thought it was meant to be either Björk or Keith from The Prodigy. That might just be my warped interpretation, though... ;-)
