Royal Approval

I've been so bored I decided (in the vague hope of some entertainment) to watch Time Team digging up assorted Royal Gardens live. What do I get - even more boredom - if I want to watch holes being dug I'll go to the nearest roadworks - at least there I'd be able to watch the traffic lights change colour just to relieve the tedium. I'm beginning to think that the Queen (who has a bit of a reputation for being careful with money) has got them in to dig where she wants a new fish pond or something similar after dropping some hints to Channel 4 that there's a bit of archaeology to be found and could they dispatch Baldric and his henchmen to uncover it. If this is the case maximum respect to Good Queen Bess II.
Anyway what do we get in lieu of something exciting happening - a Scots newsreader with an impenetrable accent talking to someone who thinks he's a member of Cromwell's New Model Army (but is in reality a civil servant from East Finchley) in the back garden of Buckingham Palace, someone excavating what appears to be an abandoned Victorian rockery at Windsor (or digging a well to save HM on her water rates) and absolutely no sign of Tony Robinson (aka Baldric) being either savaged by the Royal Corgis or marched off to the Tower by the Yeoman Warders - I live in hope that if neither of the above apply Prince Philip has taken him for one of his wild cross-country carriage rides....
