Prehistory's answer to Nigella Lawson

[cardigankid]

Couldn't help noticing Bettany Hughes 'The Minoans' on More 4 last night. The prehistoric civilisations seemed to have a strongly sensual streak, which dear Bettany somehow managed to capture, what with her well padded cleavage, nicely cut silk dresses and wet T shirts. The words 'bull' and 'hump' seemed to be used more than strictly necessary as well.

If you 'enjoy' Nigella, give this a look.

And to think I chose not to sky plus this...for shame!!!

Best thing since Anneka Rice. All of her considerable talents were fully deployed. Truly educational. If Mycenae was like this, bring it on. I couldn't believe the bit where she dived in the water.

She is fantastic, she sometimes pops up on the History Channel, bigging up the Spartans..

I love her!

Something to catch up on 4OD, completely forgot about this

I'll look her up
Though Gizzi Erskine is my new "Kitchen wife"

Yes it was blatant, but you do realise the show is five or six years old, don't you?

She has, how can I put this delicately, "matured a bit". Which is probably a good thing as you'll get taken a bit more seriously if you can talk about ancient civilisations without the director resorting to a nipple shot.

Yes, I haven't been watching much television, so I must have missed that. She's what they need on the next Indiana Jones film.

I don't think that she struggles to be taken seriously. But I have never seen such a concentrated and successful effort to flirt with the camera since Marilyn Monroe's 'Happy Birthday Mr President' for JFK. Watch the nipples, not hard to do, and you will see they are carefully kept on camera. Except of course during the rear, see through skirt, and frontal 'windblown' shots.

Nigella, Victoria Coren & Co aren't even in the hunt.
