It's like the producers and directors all seem to be using 'marketing' techniques to both promote and "mold" the show... kind of doing a disservice to the subject matter, which is a legitimately interesting thing... even if the 'pushed' theories prove to be no good, the search, and what is found, has entertainment value in and of itself. 

I kind of object to this kind of work being done in an 'entertainment' venue, rather than as adopting a documentarians' approach to the subject.  Ostensibly the show is meant to inform... to me, pushing entertainment on top of it tends to tarnish the results.

But please remember, that's just me...

I think the "Time Team" is a MUCH better show... though they don't try to make it about Mysterious Topics but rather about how investigations into history (using archaeology) is done.

Plus Tony Robbins (Baldrick, if you remember the Black Adder series) is really quite charming.
