  1. Well done Block. Amazing its been going for so many years and can still rate that well. A lot of shows by this stage have shed half their audience, if not axed all.together.

  2. ‘The Sound’ is diminishing to a distant echo-as far as the Maya go, can’t see all that much dig archeology going on there as it would destroy one of the few tropical rain forests left-also a bit worrying that as the you beaut technology get cheaper and more available, the looters will get a boost as well.
