- Опубліковано 2 кві 2013
- Time Team's third outing sees them in Scotland, after schoolchildren on the Orkney island of Sanday asked them to investigate local mounds that could, reputedly, be of Viking origin. This is the first time the Team have looked for Norse archaeological finds.
Is it just me, or does anyone else find that once they've watched one episode they just can't stop watching more?
Four times!
Yea I also find,my way back after stopping for a while.
And you got to love that music.
yep. just wish they were still going on telly
Not only have I seen most episodes, I may have seen most of them twice ... I go back to the Orkneys over and over in my mind I am there ... it's magnetic ... :D
To confirm your point ... after I got into this, I traced SIR Tony Robinson to the wonderful Black Adder series
Carenza: "What really stuck in my mind was that we finally got a comb through Phil's hair."
Tony: "And that's a first for Time Team."
Phil: "That's a first for Phil too."
Lol
😊
I think this series should have been called 'If Only We'd Had More Time Team'
I totally agree with you. I find myself wishing they had another day to do more investigations then they can do in just three days.
I have yet to find out why they only have 3 days
@@lornadryden5650 most of them do time team as a extra job. Most of them got other jobs also
@@lornadryden5650 Professors and university people have classes to teach Monday morning. Also, Mick Aston planned it that way, since these are evaluation digs to see what is there and what the site is about, not intended to completely excavate an entire site.
Educational, entertaining
and relaxing with a once in a lifetime cast of characters
Who enjoyed what they were doing and each other. Cant be replaced. Pleasure to watch over and over.
They’re not characters, they’re real people.
Phil combing his hair is hilarious. He is such a good sport.
25:18 - Victor chasing after his drawing ... and jumping on it ... an unexpected sight. I admire his art.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victor_Ambrus
Was wonderful to catch that, especially now that he's gone.
Don't know why, but that wonderful shot of him in that hat staring out to sea made him look like a character from a mythical tale. Miss you, Victor.
Shona's voice is so cool. Its neat to hear Irish, Scottish, and English accents all together from the islands. The comb they made is so nice.
I love watching Time Team. I know that the series ended years ago, but having episodes on UA-cam has been wonderful. I am really enjoying this episode because my ancestors were Norse and were Vikings. This I discovered through working on my family tree, which came from my family tree, which shows that my Norse ancestors came to Scotland and resided in Orkney. I have also had this affirmed by an archeologist who concentrated on the Vikings - Norse and Swedish.
I'm very fond of Tony Robinson. He's very kind, and he's even got a thought for little animals at the "digs". And he pays attention to the children who come out, letting them "help". You can see they all gather 'round him. I'm also fond of Phil, who has a Ph.D. and could be bossing others around, but who spends his time digging like a laborer in the dirt. He looks to me like an "Angle" from whom my father's family descended, so I like to think of him as a relative. I like to hear him talk, as well. Stewart and John are very nice, as is Karenza, whose hair looks beautiful after the COMBing! The Time Team can only get a start on archeological digs, but that is probably a big help to the local archeologists. Much appreciated, guys!
SIR Tony Robinson now, and much deserved for his contributions to children's television and literature, his work in politics (Labour Party, naturally), his championing of the victims of Alzheimers and dementia, plus his years of work to bring British history to life with such energy and charm. I think he's terrific.
Phil did not have a PhD. Why do you think that?
Time team is my peace, you guys are like my mates iv watched so much of this show
Love this episode. Louse-free archeologists! Frequently the original 'Norse' combs were made from reindeer antler. The fiber is just a little different from red deer. The carvers could make such beautiful objects. Nice to see the ancient craft is still alive.
The time team search for ACCENTS are never ending
Is never ending, not are etc.
Phil is such a purebred joy
Would be nice to have a comb like that. Bone combs don’t create static. It takes the static out of your hair.
Going down a Google rabbit hole, I discovered a paper that Phil and Carenza wrote together, and it's made me watch Time Teams with a different eye. They seemed to have such a good working relationship and friendship in these episodes.
What is the paper? I am wildly curious... 🙂
ah doe eyed Carenza casting come hither glances at Mick. I've often wondered if that was a reason she left the show never to return.
I just noticed the baby birds at about 19.00. They are so cute.
My 25 Great grand father Rognvald Kali Kolsson was the Earl of Orkney in the 1100s and is now Saint Ronald..
The more I watch TT the bigger my crush on Phil gets. That grin of his could melt an iron statue. :-)
I'm glad it's not just me!!
I love his laugh - warm and happy and straight from the heart. Cannot even imagine the storehouse of information that is in that sharp mind.
Love to have a drink with him at a pub. The stories must be grand.
I'd rather have a drink with Phil in front of a cozy fire in my home. Or his...lol.
@@maeve4686 giggitty. .. .
This episode was worth watching just to see Phil finally get his hair combed! LOL!
Not to mention combing his sideburns! „There‘s actually nothing living in there either“ - he‘s hilarious
Having only recently discovered "Time Team" (since 04/19) I have been 'binge watching' (I've even figured out how to see most of the episodes in chronological order).
I've always had a fascination with Archaeology, combine that with UK History (I'm American of Scot/Irish Ancestry) and I'm hooked.
My favorite episodes are those that include "Experimental Archaeology", those episodes that have Time Team members like Phil and Tony, create objects from the episodes .. like Flint blades, knives, swords, and the bone comb from this episode. We take these everyday items forgranted today with mass production; but watching them being created traditionally, one can see why the items were held in such high esteem that they were considered valuable items for the deceased individuals use in the afterlife.
Search on UA-cam “Timeline French Castle.” An awesome team goes to a site in France where they’re building a 13th Century castle using the same techniques and tools they would have used back then. It’s so great! It’s a whole series too! My personal favorite is Edwardian Farm, where these historians live and work for a year like they would have done in the Edwardian period. So good! You’ll love it.
These guys are great. I was so sad when this went off the air.
*So glad that this awesome show is on UA-cam...* 🙏🏻
After watching years of Time Team episodes, one of the things I've learned is that the Brits love to point with their middle finger.
Can't see that they did? But IF they did, it may be because at one time pointing with the index finger was considered rude. Especially if you were pointing at a person. It is seen as aggressive. Which it is if you think about it. The index finger represents the self.so using it to point is like challenging the other person.If it is Stewart, he is holding a pencil?
@@hogwashmcturnip8930 they do. Calm down.
@@tygeron3145 The middle finger is the V sign for Brits. So the middle finger is not rude .. .
@@tygeron3145 Ah because on the Continent the middle finger IS rude .....
This was a great show. I came across today & watched! Turns out that it’s not that far away from Kirkwell, where it turns out a family that married into my “Butler” ancestors 5x great grand aunt Lydia was from Kirkwall, Orkney islands😀
In several episodes over the years, Tony remarks on places he sees as bleak and desolate, often just as I am thinking how beautiful they are!
I've watched a lot of these several times. The more you watch the more annoying Tony gets.
@@sheilaghbrosky I know what y'all mean, but I think Robinson's thang is to point up contrasts. Remember, he's an actor. He knows that, if there's no conflict in the second act, there's no satisfying resolution at the end of the third. He stirs things up deliberately so the show doesn't consist of a bunch of people standing around agreeing with each other.
Sometimes it's the weather. Sometimes it's the limits under which they're allowed to work. If you think of the show as a three-act comedy/drama/documentary/reality show, you'll see what I mean. That's why the show was so popular for so many years. It's also why they're re-birthing it, too!
@@sheilaghbrosky or, if you're in alignment within, it just starts to become really very funny. I esp love how FRUSTRATING everything is to him 🤣🤣🤣
The more I listen out for it, the funnier it is when he does indeed describe something as being "soooo frustraatingg!!" :')
Things only rub ppl the wrong way, triggering them, when they're not in alignment. It's an inner thing. Not a Tony or other external thing. 🧐 it is happening inside you (in this case). Your triggers are your own and reveals your own inner state, it is not reflective of any outside factor tbh.
At 33:18 Do you notice how softly they're speaking after a night of Cog at the pub? 🥴 Knowing the ingredients of cog or bride's cog, there had to be some pounding hangovers! Ouch!
Cant help but feel "warm and fuzzy" after watching these.
I wish I was a member of time team, I love each of them so much.
Aw man, Not happy news.
but it would be nice to get this series on the air again.
I knew Robin died, but I did not know Robin died.
I miss Carenza, too.
Watching the whole episodes the 2nd time. Sad, nowadays you don't find such interesting and informativ shows anymore
@@HaulinWulf don't forget...ENTERTAINING!
This show gets addictive
I watch one episode every night….must have seen them all many times by now…..still enjoy it though!!!!
What delightfully fun people!
Got a friend who does bone/antler work and specializes in Irish/Viking pieces. Yon comb does take a deal of time without power tools, but he's produced those multi part combs quite nicely. Just takes time.
I love how the pub is a big part of this show - brilliant!
Vikings were predominantly farmers. And then warriors.
Oh my the music is the same as here in America. Especially on Appalachia.
Appalachia was settled by Scotch and Irish!
Love these. Thanks for all your hard work uploading. Trying to watch them all.
Maiden surname was Brock and many people in the family were mason builders, farmers, sailors, and reverends. Celtic DNA. Love all the series. Cheers Time Team!
I would love to live at Orkney. Beautiful place.
Orkney cog recipe
2 bottles whisky.
2 bottles rum.
1 bottle brandy.
1 bottle port.
1 bottle gin.
12 pints of ale (preferably home brew but bought ale will suffice).
2-4 pints of Stout.
Sugar.
Mixed Spices.
Empty the ale into a large pot and begin to heat.
Once the ale is warm, add some sugar to taste and begin to add the spirits, taking care not to boil the mixture - this destroys the alcohol.
Add mixed spice to taste.
Ladle the mixture into the awaiting cog to be passed around the guests.
Suggested spices, Ground Cinnamon, Ground Coriander, Ground Ginger, Ground Cloves, Ground Caraway, Ground Cassia, Ground Mace and Ground Pimento.
Billi Jo Maynard Wow 😮 this has to knock you on your arse .....lol
Thank you.
I feel drunk just reading this
@Jay Looney xD
That sounds like what kids used to drink at parties when they were 16 where you would get a giant pot from the kitchen and everyone would add all of whatever they could get their hands on into the pot and then everyone would split it and get drunk. There would be some vodka, some rum, some beers, someone would have bought some of that energy drink mix stuff and you mix it all together and it just tastes like an alcoholic mash of flavors that are not particularly delicious. I'm sure heating it, adding hangover powder (sugar) and spices would change it a bit though. Ususally we wouldn't let 7 year olds come to the party though like at 31:51.
One of the best TT episodes. But I always wonder what might have been if instead of this cluster of mounds, they'd dug the Ness of Brodgar.
RIP Victor Ambrus - running for his paper just after 25:15 mark.
Get your eyes checked.
I was intrigued by Mr. Towrie's voice. My great grandfather was from Sanday. He died not long before I was born, so I never heard him speak. I'd like to think he had that hint of Scandinavian accent like Mr. Towrie. My grandmother told me that our ancestors were Vikings.
We owned a SOD Farm west of FT Worth Tx in the 60s,tough work.Phil is a pro at peeling it up.
Gregory S Did they call you "Sod Buster"?
I so wish there more shows! Never get tired of it!
What an absolutely beautiful and wild place! I must admit, being of Swedish and Scottish background, I could love to live there. And it is easy to see why so many people of Scottish decent wanted to be on Cape Breton, where my mother was from.
+Sandra Nelson As a kid I lived in the Orkneys at Stromness for about 4 years. My father was a lighthouse keeper there. I remember our history teacher telling us about prehistoric dwellings and then saying that next lesson he had arranged for us to visit some. He was a wonderful teacher but at the time I didn't realize the significance and just how rich Orkney is regarding such archaeological evidence.
+Sandra Nelson I'm an American and would love to live there. Gorgeous rugged country....
I love rugged country. But I like trees, too.
My strong affection for cold weather probably has a lot to do with having good clothes and boots, and being well-nourished.
It makes me think of something Jack London wrote - something to the effect that when he was hungry and ill-clothed and ill-shod in London (while researching for The Abyss) he was much more miserable than he had ever been in the Arctic regions when well-fed and well-equipped.
Tina06019 Absolutely. If we have the right equipment and are properly supplied, humans can happily adapt to a lot of bad weather. That's why sapiens have managed to use so much of Earth. It's why we look up at space and say " You know....."
If ur a Scot ur a scot...if ur a Dane ur not from here
Carenza wants that comb! it's so nice to see her happy.
I Rember watching time team when it first started on channel4 in the 1990s and I have lost count of how many times I have rewatched it again wonderful series
One thing that bothers me is they were talking about the Vikings coming from Norway but those stone boats show up in Gotland which is Sweden. I was pretty sure what they had when I saw the outline of the pointed prow.
I could get into "cog" parties. Try drinking the last of the cog without spilling it down the front of you or inhaling it! I was told the cog was actually a barrel like wooden tankard with handles, traditionally used at wedding feasts, and the bride quaffed down the first drink. Learned something new and I'd like to try the cog, but I'll stick to drinking "shine" from a mason jar. We can do wonderful things with a bushel of corn here in Kentucky!
Did you guys see the little girl in the pub in red and white at 31:51? That is defiantly not allowed in America.
@Gavin MacNeish fu
@@evilcanofdrpepper They serve food and I believe after a certain time, definitely no kiddies allowed.
Wow. I tried "shine" once and I thought that I'd swallowed a red hot piece of coal. How do you develop the ability to swallow that stuff?
@@evilcanofdrpepperPubs in Great Britain are usually family places..especially in the country.
They are in Scotch Heaven with some of the best Beers in the British Isles and Tony is drinking a bottle of arse Beck's Beer!
the local pub for sure would have liked it.
- we have to stay for at least 3 weeks - ,
Professor Mick Aston.
Always wondered how much the small towns would have made off of a shows whole production.
I'd have spent a lot myself 😊
Phil is the G.O.A.T.
a great show!!!
Half of them look like Vikings.
I ❤️the Orkneys. Been there twice.
cold and desolate, reminds me of my past choices in women
Orkney please...not orkneys 😀
LOL THAT LAMBS WAS RUNNING AWAY FOR THEIR LIVES XD
At 25:20 is it Victor running after a piece of paper and throwing himself on it?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victor_Ambrus
It was a clean tackle, he went low, held on and didn't cause any injuries.
Yup. That was Victor!
NOBODY has any idea how to use a comb...BRUSH THE BOTTOM FIRST!
34:40 -- Holy cow (or "Cor, stone the crows!" as Harding might say). Check out the hand of the gentleman demonstrating antler carving to the Viking enthusiast (I can't remember his name...). You have to do a lot of carving for a lot of years to have a finger that looks like his.
Really enjoy it.😃 The video quality and scenery on my TV is 👍
Just so I don't (accidentally) watch this a third (or fourth) time-
It IS the episode where they comb Phil's hair.
It is NOT the mine Howe episode!
Carenza looks very nice in this episode.
OMG, they're not only digging in a nesting area, but driving over it as well. You can hear the birds complaining throughout the episode. As much as I love archaeology, I love nature more.

Seriously addictive!
I’m always afraid someone going to fall out of the helicopter.
there is a cool new invention called seat belts
The Scottish archeologist with the beard looked a great deal like Brian Blessed, although without his sonorous Shakespearean voice.
I wish Time Tram would get enough funding through Patreon to go back to Orkney for a longer period in 2022. Orkney is still so rich in archaeology to be discovered.
Phil without a hat
Very cool. My family's roots are
from the isle of sanday.
Shame they didn´t keep Steve on the team - he fit really well!
Ilook at the episodes more than ones.
Bravo.
Imagine making that comb without modern tools.
He basically did. He used hand tools that the Danes definitely had, no electricity, and vices can easily be made of wood.
I was thinking the same thing. Those combs a real labor of love and true works of art. No wonder they often were part of the grave goods of women of means.
TT is one of my best things go have found in the dismal year of 2020 💜
Incidentally, does anyone here know what species those adorable little chicks might be? I tried searching, but haven't found anything other than a few unlabeled images.
Google: 'The Birds of Orkney' and '30 Birds of Orkney'
The chicks are likely Skuas?
But look at the birds and decide for yourself
God bless!
Possibly a type of Plover.
So much nicer to watch these earlier episodes. Once I get into seasons 18 and beyond, the whole thing seems to take a downward trend. All the informative people are gone, and they added that Mary Ann person who seems to have been added for nothing more than eye-candy for the guys. To be honest, I find Helen Geake much more appealing to look at AND she's far and away more intelligent.
Mary Ann Ochota is intelligent enough - degree in anthropology - with a minor in archaeology - but has all of the charisma of a wood plank.
@@theknave4415 I think she's lovely 🤷♀️
I agree completely.
I have always loved Carenza's beautiful hair 🧡
Notice how clean and bright it stays, lucky woman!
miss this
The Bone expert looks like Annette Benning?
Pretty lady!
If you look @ 3:49 on the left hand side of the screen where they're talking about the area, look 3/4 way up on the left. There's an intriguing circular formation almost divided like a chart pie I wonder what that is.
Fellow in the brown jumper looks quite a bit like Brian Blessed in his earlier years.
It’s like Tony is reading STP’s audiobooks in this episode
So these Picts labored on in a state of Pre-History because the Romans never showed up to inform them otherwise. It's like everyone else had cable or satellite, and these poor buggers had to keep climbing up on their huts and turning their antennas.
Lol. So funny
The Picts worked very hard to repel the Romans, they wanted nothing to do with any of it.
Maybe so but they were free from Roman tyranny...
gotta love it the woman from Historic Scotland has an English accent for crying out loud
She has a Welsh name!
Probably got sent away for school
33:45 It could be taken for something of a sexist comment I know, but surely seldom has such an assemblage of beautiful archeologists been recorded...stunning...
Just to appear on this programme demands real brains...but such loveliness besides is exceptional...
41:30 What an incredibly beautiful woman...
God bless sexism..occasionally regarding handsome women as sex objects is normal, healthy, and a hell of a lot of fun for your average male..toxic masculinity is what built this bloody Empire... and let alone if the pulchritude is accompanied by ferocious intelligence..cheers!
Really?? She's barely average for the UK!
A whole episode with Phil Harding sans hat.
It would have blown off!
Sign of the end I say😅
The Sinclair family dominated Orkney. Their chapel was a star in the Davinci Code!
There were a lot more hair in those days...
Pictic v. Viking --- "Peaceful Integration". Ha! I think not.
All swords of things
The erosion seems to be such a problem because the whole area's been deforested. It's just grass... They need to plant some deeper rooted tougher species... Beautiful place though
It's a complicated hole... with an unexplained feature.
I wish they gave updates or information on how to look up what happened to the site
And I thought Brough was a motorbike!
Not brough but brog. ^_^
i want to try some cogs with that group of guys. :) would be fun. no matter how cold i would be. i have a question.. when the remove the turf off this land, would this be similar to how thick, etc the turf would be in greenland for example? if so i see how easy it would/could be to over graze the land with cow/sheep and it probably would take a long time for the land to recover.
Sweyn Asleifsson brought me here..
The ness at Sanday is here:

@37:15, that looks like a button. The protrusion in the center looks like the shank.
