- Опубліковано 27 вер 2024
- Twenty years ago, the Duke of Buccleuch discovered that the remains of a Roman fort might lie a few hundred metres from his home, Drumlanrig Castle near Dumfries. Time Team start digging.
Victor is the rock star of Time Team. Always enjoy his drawings 🥰
You tube keeps bringing me here and I keep not leaving. I love this. Didn’t realize how interesting people digging holes in dirt could be.
I adore Time Team. They are my friends!
Wow! A Roman fort in Scotland! I actually had no idea the Romans got all the way up into Scotland! I thought that’s what Hadrians’ Wall was all about.
- Thanks for the History lesson Time Team!
Not an expert but I read that the Romans got up into Scotland, got their ass kicked in, then retreated and built the wall to keep the scary 'Barbarians' out of Roman land. There are forts near the wall on the Roman side and TT has even excavated a rare Roman cemetery at the wall in another episode.
And bless their hearts for doing 20 seasons of uploads. For one thing, they helped thousands of people keep their sanity during covid lockdowns.
@@cjsmalley5506 It’s not like guy explained within the first few minutes...turnip.
I can picture a rousing evening after a day's excavating with Phil , Guy , and Brigid , telling tales and trading quips and witticisms . The end result being Brigid drinking them under the table ! What a sight !
I think Phil and Brigid would go unconscious trying to drink each other under the table.
Imagine that...Sir Tony being skeptical on Day 1. Will miracles never cease? I am so glad that we have archeologists like Phil, Mick and Francis who are here to help us find the important things that the properties have to offer. I love the program!
One of the most informative Time Team programs I have seen !!! I had no idea that a second defensive wall was constructed between Glasgow and Edinburgh !! My only issue with this recording was that there were noticeable, periodic 'gaps' in the transmission.
I think I'm in around week two of binge watching… It is so cool to watch the technology develop over time.
The CGI mock ups of the locations that they are doing more and more, is a lot of fun!
I know what you mean about the tech development. I'm semi binge watching. As much as I can while homeschooling 6. I love this show. Love the dynamic among the group
If I recall they used TT to showcase the growing technology they were using from the very start.
I'm watching them out of order, as UA-cam offers them up and the titles interest me. The fun thing for me is watching Tony's hair change. I was a bit startled to see him blonde yesterday!
I would so watch a TV show about Phil doing archaeology and solving crimes. Gater could be his bumbling side kick.
Excellent archeologists 😀
Oh, all my faves are so young in this one! Raksh and Matthave baby faces, Phil with good ones and back, Tony with a goatee, Guy,
....contd. When I managed to escape a horrible childhood and find my own way of speaking, the Yorkshire started to emerge, enough that people picked up on it. I then went full out reconnecting with my mother's family (she died when I was 4) , tracing her family back to the 17th Century. I also reconnected physically, visiting aunts and cousins. Not that my full accent totally regained it's place but my ear totally took it back in that now, aged 74, and living alone, I often slip right into it. It's totally authentic. Maybe he likes the sound of it too ?
although this one may not be up to the editing finesse of previous episodes, I can accept a few hiccups when someone has done me the immeasurable service of uploading 20 seasons worth of episodes.
It's really bad.
He only had 3 days
I always love these episodes where they have some _seriously_ knowledgeable re-enactors, truly dressed for the parts, and totally into what they're doing.
But I do wonder whether that weird whistling noise was making that horse run just a little bit faster. :)
🙂 "i'm like the surgeon who's left being Dr behind and is now Mr.".. Correct Professor Mick Aston, you've earned the accolades. 🙂
I do miss Robin Bush. Having an archivist or historian to Put in context what happening in wider world helped back up the finds.
Helen Geake with her first mention at the top of the rolling credits
What a likeable group of Brits. Mick was truly a find himself. Stewart literally tied the Whole of the various specialities together and Tony with abundant energies was truly the Host and Narrator that was Time Team's Cap-stone.
I'm only sorry they didn't do any digs in Southern Ireland, Kerry being the place of my lineage.

idk Mick had passed, Thanks for your wisdom and entertainment.
Guy sure has the gift of gab ! He could have been a success in used car lots !!!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously, he's one of my favorite contributors to this series !
so sad to hear mike aston passed away 2013 rest well tfs
His final journey was really majestic :)
In my mind, it was a sign that the end was near for the series.
It's 2019, Just found out, He's been with ME til now & far beyond that knowledge!;
I'd say rest in Peace but I've Just come from the pub & Nudie bar LMFAO :D!!
@@Pauldjreadman Mick died three months after the final episode of Time Team was broadcast.
Found a time team I haven't seen whoooo hoo wheeee
Fascinating thank you very much thumbs up to this channel👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Wish there was there was a version of Time Team for the US. We don't have the same history, but I would like to know more about our Mississippian culture (mound builders)
There was Time Team America. It has a couple of seasons, but I do not like the hosts. Search on You Tube and Netflix.
Reijer Zaaijer has the TT America episodes too. The first season host is an annoying overconfident hipster dude who's a bad illustrator, and the second season host is a woman who, I think, used to be a host for MTV or something, a million years ago. She's not as bad, but just kind of not quite the right fit for the role.
There is a lot of info on line. There is a program on youtube, History channel. Quite a few hits on google, too. There is so much more available than the first time I visited in 1983.
Personally I was impressed with that horse!! A noise like that just over it's head and it just kept running along!!
The instantaneous answer about the source of the Roman army’s olive oil was “Spain, from the valley of the Guadalquivir, where the big olive groves were.” But Baetica and Lusitania we’re both olive oil sources, and the oil coil have come from modern day Portugal. There were major stores of supplies at cities such as Conimbriga, where sprawling excavations over many decades have revealed an amphitheater, baths, the Forum, streets, many houses with gorgeous mosaics, shops, storerooms and so on. From a logistical viewpoint, it would make sense to source from the nearest place, which is also less than an hour from the coast and good ports. Spain/eastern Baetica would lengthen the supply chain considerably for troops in Brittania.
RIP Mick Aston... I have loved Time Team over the years. Thank you for all of the wonderful programs.
Oh my gosh, I had no idea he'd passed. How sad, he was truly a treasure. So glad he gave his time to this show to educate us and take us along on these adventures! He seems like a truly sweet man, and must have been a fabulous professor.
I always cringe and feel bad for Victor, when the others smear their fingers across his pencil drawings.
I love everything about Time Team except that and when Tony is insulting or pessimistic. I wonder if it’s written like that?
I love this show. It is sad there will be no more.
Thanks so much for posting
My point. I think it was deliberate.Accents don't just change as we get older, they solidify.
The editing of this episode leaves something to be desired. There are skips in conversations. Sort of reminds of vinyl records or DVDs which skip when there's a scratch or two. I keep wondering what I've missed.
the actual important bits were chopped off actually .. saw the full episode on another channel ... where they edit just after the commercial leader and follower ... and dont actually chop out any of the content
Love the bs photo shop I saw before clicking this show .. great work 👍
Luv Phil's shorts
I wonder if they checked any of the stone work in the nearby castle for some hint of the stone from the robbed out walls?
Good question! I was wondering that, too!
Great episode.
Tony has a goatee and I can't get over it
i just loov that funky music
My dog did NOT like the dragon noise. Growled and barked for ten minutes.
The river will be packed with Roman stuff, rRomans loved their river gods.
Mick was the Daddy! RIP!
While the fort might never have been attacked, this episode's soundtrack certainly was 😏
I'm finding this one rather jumpy - eg at 34:14, it's as if there's been about 15 seconds lost, which means they've gone from Bridgit in mid-sentence to John in a helicopter. Any ideas?
Cutondogor Yeah...it's really pi55in me off. Seems someone has gone to some trouble to exorcise big chunks for no apparent reason. Bit unnecessary.
This one is not up to the usual editing standards, but I'm assuming there's a good reason for that. I'm watching 20 seasons of a series I've never seen before (and been inspired to buy as many DVDs as possible) thanks to a person who made the effort to upload them. #NotMyPlaceToB**ch
I'm guessing this was a recording of a recording, one that skipped a bit. But the length is sill almost exactly the length of other shows, so it can't be more than a few seconds missing overall.
Little lumps and bumps are what dreams are made of!!!
(apologies for ending sentence with preposition 😁)
Don't worry. As *Winston Churchill* said _Ending a sentence with a preposition is something up with which I will not put._
Of course he _might_ have been serious. 🙃
I'd let Dr. Helen order me around anytime!
+Barnaby ap Robert Her perfect complexion, that sexy pout, that sweet little bum...
And with a name of Geek.. You just know she is... :)
She seems like the whips, chains and leather type to me.
Wow, it's unusual to see Mick working on a Roman site!
Seems to be something wrong with this episode. It's skipping around like partially cut scenes.
44:17 A chunky Dell Inspiron 8000, 8100 or 8200 series "desktop replacement" - probably one of the latter two by the date this was filmed, so either a Mobile Pentium III-M (Tualatin) or Pentium 4-M inside. Classic early-2000s mobile computing :)
Yawn, Zzzz
Love Mic
Nobody told Tony how bad that goatee is? The real Time Team mystery.
Get over it.
@@johnmoss6631 You really can't get more cringeworthy than a serious response to a month old joke post on a history documentary, on youtube. Congratulations, people like you with comments like this make me wonder how you Forrest Gump types don't walk into oncoming traffic on the regular.
Tony is an actor. The facial hair was necessary for a role he was playing on a different program he was working on at that time.
@@deborahparham3783 True. That would be likely it. I hope a knighted gentlemen would not be seen in public so ridiculous! lol
Listening to the Scottish owner reminds me of how my face feels when speaking english or spanish. Hard to explain but my mouth and cheek muscles feel too tight. This guy sounds as if he's moving his mouth as little as possible when he speaks. That feels natural to me and my mom's maiden name is Scott. I bet it's in the genes.
I think the DStv advert tor the African festival is wonderful. For probably the first time I don't click Skip Ad I watch it until the end.
20:20 Of course! It's in Scotland, home of Mac this and Mac that -- MacDonald's, or rather, McDonald's! And what is the emblem of McDonald's? A double arch! This proves they are as old as the Freemasons -- maybe even the same organization! Wheels within wheels, man!
(Sorry. I couldn't help myself.)
Yep McDonald's, are great, love their burgers, 😆😆👍
31:55 - "beautiful...". Those parade cavalry helmets are indeed creepy as hell, like Ribchester one for example. But full horse armour would be more appropriate for hippika gymnasia.
The Roman Draco didn't have a whistle inside it, it was hollow. It was used as a wind vane for archers.
That would not be reasonable.. they had plenty of standards and banners that would clearly show the wind direction
who designed those wheels on the resistance machine ? not very efficient ...
When considering Scotland, did they never think about the manor of the Bruce, at Cardross?
its not at cardross ...
www.theguardian.com/science/2009/feb/22/robert-the-bruce-palace-remains
The reason is they probably werent asked and didnt have permission
They should have announced a warning for us sensitive types who were terrified at the sound and vision of that dragon thing. Nightmares tonight for sure, just like my ancestors must have had!
I wonder if John Gator has a daughter named Alli 🤔
Rolling eyes and groaning 😅
Tony said "bog standard", finish your drink!
That noise at 40:13 does sound like what I might imagine a real dragon might make racing across a battlefield to attack me.
imagen hearing that at 3am

Too bad the video and audio keep skipping…otherwise great episode
The Time Team Classics official youtube channel has recently posted an undamaged copy of this episode.
It's the fort that counts.
Can I stop groaning now?
So am I the only one that screamed at the screen to tell them the annex was the corral for the cavalry?
Weird jumps in this video. Still amazing content though.
a stone building that holds water at a conjunction of two streets? Could it be a watering trough for a lot of horses? Or could it be a communal bath for the soldiers to use with warmed water?
That dragon thing sounds like a banshee! Just sayin'!
Tony should have grown a big beard.
Lots of jump edits in this episode.
I’m surprised Guy and others pronounce Tacitus as “Tasitus” instead of “Takitus” as the c is pronounced as k in Latin… although my 2 years of Latin were 50 years ago… or maybe it’s a British thing.
😉
The editing of this video is so strange. Makes it hard to understand what's happening.
They let Tony dig? I don't think I've ever seen that before, lol.
With a small tool only. Damage control.
@@flitsertheo Actually *Tony Robinson* was _then_ an experienced amateur archæologist of over ten years standing.
How come you have only 3 days to "solve the problem"? [I think on other episodes you've also had only 3 days.] Is this a self-imposed deadline to add urgency and excitement to the video?
No. It was the constraints of the archæologists time. They were all working archæologists with full-time jobs in archæology who had to get back to them on *Monday.*
Wow! A cahstle. Sometime s pronounced caaaastle as in castaway.
Why do you only have three days? Why not take as long as necessary and do an adequate job instead? Does the owner come back in three days and you don't want him to know you've been there? The artist doing the sketches is phenomenally good. The stone wall with a clay lining is probably the wall of a bath.
The archæologists were all professionally employed as archæologists elsewhere, 3 days is quite common for exploratory excavations and the programme was otherwise very expensive. After the dig they usually stopped, recorded everything and shut it all down. In some cases the investigation was carried on by others, either amateur or professional, in others that is planned and in a few cases they found pretty well all there was to be found. They _always_ wrote a full report and that can usually be found easily in pdf for free (look at www.wessexarch.co.uk or local archæological society websites). Most finds were given to local museums for study. Skeletons were studied and then reburied in consecrated ground unless there was a _very_ pressing reason not to (and that would need government permission).
@Bill Seabrook
A little, sure, but not on-site.
Pre- and post-production were normally done by the TV company itself with material assistance from professional archæologists and historians.
Guy says important info but gets quieter as he says really valuable info. It's hard to hear.
Dang thing skips.
31:51 - Romano Stig? O_o
Stigovax of Gaul!!
the roman coin would not date the destruction of the fort. the coin could have been lost at the time of the destruction but it could have been in circulation for quite a while when lost
Not necessarily, the coins seemed to be changed at least every time someone new took charge. Once the old guy was out and the new guy took over the old coins lost value. They would most likely be melted down and restamped, the ones that don't get restamped were probably lost during the reign of a particular emperor, thus archeologist could date a dig by however long that emperor's reign was.
It's always possible, nevertheless, in his case, irritating as all hell lol. 1 was born in January, 1943 to a single mother in the WAAF. She had to leave the fight and return home to my North Yorks home where spent the first couple of years , picking up a good Yorkshire twang, an accent which my screwed up stepfather saw as a demeaning cultural failing. He spent considerable energy forcing me to read with his Cathedral Scool posh Oxford accent
@4:57 Am I watching a show about archaeology or extreme makeovers? Some of the choices of backing music in these later episodes are way off. They should have stuck with the vaguely-medieval sounding MIDI panpipes and fiddles.
Good grief! What is horrible growth on Tony's chin? :)
for his day job....he was doing a kids show and was playing the evil Sheriff of Nottingham.
Well it's for his other job, but what's with all the criticism about the way he looks. I think perhaps Phil could get a new hat, that one looks a bit sweaty, but if it makes you happy son......
@@00BillyTorontoBill Tony played the Sheriff in 'Maid Marian and her Merry Men' which aired between 1989-94. This series of Time Team was filmed in 2004.
What's up with the music??
Ok,,so the Romans lived there,,,,,and ???? lol
Tony, what`s that dreadful "chin shrubbery" about?
I think TT broke ground in the fact before the series started the there were walls and rule everywhere where you couldn't dig in many places. I think in a lot of ways it was free tourist advertising. Aside from revealing a lot of history. I this from the dvd? I agree on the editing it's crap. I do video editing and this is very bad.
Same ep, no gaps: ua-cam.com/video/LXtJs32JTgA/v-deo.html
My brain keeps tripping over the hideous video cuts. Getting quite cross.
Speak up, Guy!
Tony has a few days stubble on his chin. Trying to be hip with a little goatee?
Clumsy editing.
Wonderful content.
The presenter always comes across negatively. He does my head in.
It happens, when you don't pay attention to what is going on. Sir Tony Robinson is supposed to act as the impatient layman expecting straight forward answers and simple solutions and act skeptical where he has a chance.
its on purpose.
Hello Tony in the bunch of time team crew I would like to say that the Romans never made it into Scotland we kicked them out plain and simple
So they simply _threw_ the fort from *Hadrian's Wall?* Bluddy strong *Romans!*
Time team motto, Time Team doing bad Archeology for 20 years +
"How the hell should I know that Tony" ....lmao
That whole sequence with Phil, Tony, and Mick was funny. Mick: "You're telling us to go away, aren't you?"
You always know it’s going to be a good episode when Phil’s got his hot pants on !
My ancestors would have been either doing business or harassing the Romans in this area between the two Roman walls
I'm amazed at the endurance of the archaeologists' backs . Sore or strained backs must have been as common as gravel . Imagine 40 years of hoisting dirt and rubble ! Phil must need regular large doses of 'liquid' pain relief !
