  • Two pirate archaeologists digging in Jordan (filmed close to me on the beaches of East Anglia!) unearth a striking statue. They load it into their truck during a rainstorm in order to escape and become rich.
    If they had known the significance of her they may have been a little more careful....

    I found the original short story! It's based off "She Fell Among Thieves" by Robert Edmond Alter. I'm currently working on translating it into Spanish (for the first time!) as my final project for Literary Translation, from the degree in Spanish Translation and Linguistics, from UAQ.

      Are you also able to translate from Portuguese (to English)? I hope you don't mind me asking.

      Helen Coleman - ah you’ve definitely seen more eps than me. I know series 1 and 2 but working my way through the others!

      Helen Coleman I loved all I’ve seen so far, one has been deleted about an American trying to trace his family tree. That’s been my favourite with The Flypaper

      The best one was a woman killing her partner with a frozen leg of meat then serving it up to the investigating officer. 😁

    Reminded me of the bodies buried beneath ash when Mt. Vesuvius erupted!

    That explains the strange shape of the statue's mouth, like it was screaming.

    It could have been better at the end if the man they hit on the head came flying up the road on his motorbike and told the rest of the border control what they had done and they ended up getting nicked for attempted murder on top of losing the statue
