      Also, I missed Raksha. Anyone else gone? No one else seems to have shown personality as of yet, but with time, likely they will get more comfortable speaking up. But I've only watched 37 minutes, part 1, so will continue after doing my daily obligatory walk.

    WOW! 30 years of Time Team? Really now! Happy Birthday, Time Team!!!! I'd like to say that, as an American who first found out about this show on UA-cam, and has subsequently watched every episode, I would like to give a tremendous 'Thank You!' to everybody that has been involved with the production of this great show. This show has given me a greater appreciation for the history of the UK (which I love, as an American), and the history of mankind, as well. CHEERS!!!

      Don't get me wrong, there is a lot of fascinating history and archelogy in America, but in the UK, when you look at a world map, we are so tiny, yet there is so much history here! I live in Cornwall, and we have Iron Age hillforts, Stone circles and dolmens, and Norman castles, we are so, so lucky, I hope you come and visit someday :)

    Fantastic. UA-cam is like having a Time Machine within a Time Machine. We can go back in time to watch the incredible Time Team going back in time with their archaeological explorations. Surely one of the most amazing documentary series' on the internet. And the new team are becoming as popular as the old team of Tony, Mike, Phil, Helen etc. Personally, I will always treasure the moment last year when I had the great pleasure of meeting, and having a long conversation with, Phil Harding at Salisbury Museum.

I think this episode will go down as a great classic, not as ckassic as the Isle of Mull which is still my all time favourite. I would still like to ask you to visit my ice age pagan burial stone ovals and splitstones on Pendle hill in Lancashire, everything is on the top of the surface which means Stuarts job would be easy, although the ice age brook could do with some TLC from timeteam .Congratulations and heres to the next thirty years, till then, Ill keep guardian of Wiswell Rough and the druid burial grounds .

    I have a question.
    When the digs are complete, the site gets buried again to preserve anything left in the ground. I see over and over again where old sites are revisited but there's difficulty locating the previous trenches, even with GPS. Why not take a page from the Utility company and place underground, detectable markers at the corners of the trenches and key locations?

    @WaterShowsProd 2 місяці тому +1

    For certain in outlying settlements that werent subject to direct Roman conquest the trasition would be gradual. I have friends in their late-twenties and early-to-mid-thirties who grew up in villages without electricity or plumbing, yet archaeiologists of the future who might go digging in those areas would also discover plastic and other modern items. Not every community is going to represent the text-book example of the time in which they lived through lifestyle alone.

      Gus has taken a few shows to settle just as Tony did back in 1993-4. I noticed it at the Modbury dig(s) - He, and the rest of the new members of the 'team', have all relaxed a bit. If they had the time and budget to do four or five digs of this scale every year we'd see everyone's personalities emerge a lot more. Still, better this than just the re-runs, much as I love them.

      Now, all the TIME TEAM in front and behind the scenes have got their "mojo" a going, and the Sutton Hoo dig this past summer with Tony really put the wind back into their sails.
      And, the Disney dig this past October for broadcast in 2025 (I watched the Dig Watch patreon episodes and it looks to be fantastic, I cannot wait until the 3 Day - Episodes air.
      I have been a Patreon for the last few years, just a basic subscription but it is worth every Canadian $$$.

      @@brettwalters-n4u Tony's involvement is a nice touch. He hosted the 'Band of Brothers' dig last year as well and although obviously not as mobile these days he retains all the sense of mischief which made the old 'Time Team' shows such fun to watch. Gus gets a bit of flak purely because he's not Tony but he's an academic who happens to be a reasonable presenter whereas Tony was/is a comic actor who knows how to connect with audiences through the camera. I think more people are appreciating the resurrected show for what it is rather than just pining for what was.
