  • Martin cast as the presenter of a very 'TimeTeam'esque sketch from the short-lived, one-series-only sketch show 'Bruiser' (2000) starring Olivia Colman, Martin Freeman, Matt Holness, Charlotte Hudson, David Mitchell and Robert Webb.
    "Let's go!" paws Those lilywhite legs in those teeny shorts. D: I need that like burning. Srsly.
    All clips are from episode 6
    *Edit: Please excuse the "Subtitle Text Here". :| My software stinks. I'm not going through that kerfluffle again. It took THREE HOURS for this to upload. Is that just me, or is it the same for everybody? That's INSANE.

    As an archaeologist, I'm just looking at those shameful excavation units and shaking my head. It's all strung up the right way but the walls should be even with the string. I mean, look at the image at 1:05; the left hand wall looks terrible! Sloppy, sloppy work. And there's no excuse, they're digging in a field! I can excuse a crappy looking unit when you're weaving around trees, but keeping the trench neat should be child's play.
