varun Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 For a change somethin about India on the history channel today. So I tivo-ed it : http://stage6.divx.com/user/vrunnr/video/1566536/Khajuraho-Temples-of-India Around 40 minutes long. I like the way they've done the computer reconstructions of khajuraho.

Gaurav Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 Who the f is Ranjeet yaar? Why do you think that I am a celebrity? :hysterical: Abhe I am a homeless guy who sits on the streets of London with my laptop :hysterical: You can bump into normal TV celebrities easily on the streets of London. Like I have met AliG, two of the ladies from "Goodness Gracious me", TV news readers etc etc. They feel sorry for me and throw a fiver towards my cardboard box :D But if it makes you happy then here I am outside my cardboard box with my Mrs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Outsider Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 Kiski photo dikha raha hai, Gai? The documentary was cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CC1981 Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 The documentary was okay. It was quite informative and the experts presented in it were quite cogent but i disliked their repetetive nature- they repeated the whole ' chandela dynasty-land of kamasutra-temple carving-protect them from muslim invaders' line too much and that too, verbatim.

Gaurav Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 that was the best part tell it like it is Exactly. CC ki jal gayi :giggle: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CC1981 Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Exactly. CC ki jal gayi :giggle: You do not understand. I dont mind the fact that they were talking about muslims throwing a hissy fit. My point was, they were repeating sentences verbatim to 'fill up time'. The 'muslim hoardes---> affront to their tastes---> continuous attack' was just one of example of the redundant repetetiveness of the program. They were also repeating the 'and in the jungle city rose 83 temples' line atleast 2-3 times verbatim. I consider that poor documentation if you are repeating yourself to fill up space.

It could appear very repetitive 'coz there were ad breaks in between, and I've taken out the ads.. They do that a lot on the history channel.. i.e. give a pre-cursor to what's going to come just before the ads, and then talk about it in more detail later.
