Did any of you happen to catch a truly horrible and yet wildly entertaining television series called Bonekickers? It was on BBC One in 2008. Sadly, due to its badness, they only made 6 episodes and won't return for another series. I watched the first two episodes last night so I thought I'd ask about the rest and if it was worth paying for.

Not me Johnny.

Ah, you were the one I'd most hoped had seen it, Roy. Check it out sometime. I hear it's full of scandalous inaccuracies to get you all wound up and the first episode includes a scene where a radical christian beheads a muslim (BBC took some flak over that). Dreadfully fun.

radical christian beheads a muslim

I'm amazed that they even attempted it!

Roy.

Absolutely, Dig. Christians are out of practice at that sort of thing.

What I rememeber of it was that it was cheap and cheerful and treated critically as if it was "serious " .

I guess that whole serious thing was why they didn't get brought on for another series. You can't take a character who stands over a nicely troweled trench and says, "Come on, give up your secrets!" all that seriously....unless you're in the trench and she's pointing a gun at you.

I can't say I enjoyed it it but it certainly annoyed a lot of people . Mark Horton iirc was an advisor and he got a lot of stick .
