Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

ThiefHott Too much of everything

Mjeteconer Just perfect...

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Tweekums After seeing the trailers I was expecting a more serious programme, some action but still bounded by historical fact. The first episode some killed those expectations as our heroes raced against modern day Knights Templar to find the cross that Christ was crucified on hidden in a chamber under a dovecote. There was no explanation of how this chamber hadn't been found in the centuries since it was built. During the confrontation at the end our archaeologist heroes set fire to the chamber and destroyed everything it contained. Later episodes also contained similar story lines and usually ended with whatever item they were looking for being destroyed.After the first episode I decided to watch the second just in case its awfulness was an aberration and the series would get better, it didn't but I also realised that despite how terrible the plots were and the very dodgy "history" I was actually rather enjoying it not just as I time filler when nothing else was on but as something to seek out and actually record as I was busy when it was broadcast. As the series progressed it continued to be barking mad. The special effects, especially a CGI snake, were pretty poor but I think at this point I'd have been more disappointed had it improved.The cast, which included some really good actors, played it straight as though they were in something that was much better, I think this kept it enjoyable. I for one can't wait for the next series.

Barry This programme is rather average, the story lines i find good and interesting, such as the search Jesus' cross and the search for Excalibur, which provide very entertaining story lines, yet the writing is poor, with large plot holes that are not explained, and the show does not seem to flow with the continuity that other shows similar to it such as 'Bones' from America.The acting though i think is OK, yet can be better, Julie Graham is a find, and a good actress, yet other members of the cast i think could have been better, but to be honest, the only problem i have with this show is its writing, but the show does manage to entertain the audience, and for that i like it. An average programme, that the BBC could make a lot better.

xdemoisellex-1 I, as many other people, could not wait for the start of this new programme. I have a tradition of watching pretty much all of the BBC's 6-parter shows (Waking the Dead, New Tricks for example) and this seemed like it would be another top notch programme.OK, so it may not be exactly what I expected, but you know something? I don't really care. I keep watching throughout, every episode, I never go to the loo or make tea or anything. It may be far fetched a lot of the time (ok, most of the time... OK, all of the time) and the characters don't 'sock it to you' as such, but I always want to know what happens and despite everything, I do like the characters, I've quite warmed to the stubborn Gilly and Dolly the Indiana Jones aspirant.After tonight's revelation, I really cannot wait until the next episode, to see what happens between Viv and Gilly. I bet you want to know too, even if you won't admit it and say you can't stand the show. Over the top and melodramatic it may be, but I think that's part of the charm.So, please, don't try and take Bonekickers too seriously, because that's where you'll find it falls down. It's not majorly historically accurate, but I've picked up a few odd things that are interesting, and the team isn't above and beyond, but they're characters in their own right and I do care about them, I think that makes a good show.

Jason-346 My love of History and the strong cast convinced me to watch the first episode of Bonekickers. I didn't expect that much, the trailers and cast interviews, seemed to promise an Indiana Jones rip-off, all be it a low budget one. In fact I would have settled for a low rent National Treasure. As it was, even with my meager expectations, it managed to disappoint.The awful story, terrible dialogue, criminal waste of an excellent cast, and archaeology that anyone who had ever stumbled across an episode of Time Team would find laughable. This was a truly dreadful program.Having said all that I still had hope the series would improve, I thought maybe I was being a bit harsh on what after all was meant to be a bit of harmless entertainment. So I decided to watch the second episode before writing my review. Somehow they managed to out do themselves, I would never have believed Bonekickers could get any worse, but they managed it, and now I've wasted two evenings watching this dross.
