Living in Bath I suppose we should all be rather blasé about people filming. But I usually expect it to take place by the Crescent or Assembly rooms and not on my doorstep in Larkhall providing me with an entertaining spectator sport twice a day when walking the kids to school.

I didn’t think the array of tents and cameras that have taken over the park looked all that exciting at first, its probably something boring I thought to myself, can’t see anyone famous and they don’t look like they’re doing much. Probably a corporate video or students. “What are they filming?” I asked a man in dayglo orange who had asked me to stop walking. “Bone Kickers” he gruffed “its an archaeological drama”. And clearly that was all I was going to get.

Which is why the internet is brilliant, because by the time I’d got home all I could remember was Bonesomething and archaeological drama, useless facts really to pass on to anyone and hardly major gossip.
But a quick search on google revealed that they were in fact the BBC filming an archaeological drama called “Bone Kickers” starring Hugh Bonneville (who was apparently in Notting hill) and written by the people who wrote Life in Mars. Which made is so much more exciting because Life on Mars is the best thing to hit terrestrial tv in years.

That’s it really, sometimes I just like to marvel at the little miracle that the internet is.
