Every so often she managed to spot more of these ‘ cuts’ as the sun changed. I eventualy went over, picked up the pole and wandered off leaving her looking very confused. I know I should of done it earlier but I was interested in how she found the sides and base each time.” Trowelfodder “ In the archive of a certain very large and infamous mid 90’ s excavation in East Anglia, England, there is a fabled context record sheet. The interpretation box details one of the most magnifi cent rants I’ve ever read, about the unit management, the appalling way the site was run, the rottenness of the local pub and even the unsatisfactory nature of the sexual encounter they had had the night before.

You have to remember that the fi rst fi lm had the Ark of the Covenant, the second had beating hearts ripped out and the third was about the Holy Grail! So sit back, buy a big tub of popcorn, and go with the fl ow. It is even fun to try and spot all the fi lm references. We rate it:
