I love the jokes between Phil and Matt on this one. The brush on the face one...LOL!!! Matt wins!
Oh I love how you can see the pride in Helen that Mick seems to have and you can tell she is thrilled to have his (and Tonys) confidence and an opportunity to show her expertise. In a tribute video for Mick she speaks about how he helped her a great deal. They had a special respect for one another I think. ❤
I think I've learned more about history from this show than anywhere else.
Grub Hut sounds like the name of an Anglo-Saxon meal delivery service
Lol
actually the way German is translated and spoken is quite bad...Helen though, the young archaeologist and the lady with the black earrings, pronounces it correctly. Tony begun with it only much later... it should be - Grubenhaus - . WIKI shows and explains it in detail. and as you know,on the left side you can change it into a langauge that suits you best. de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grubenhaus
Phil’s comment about Matt’s brush being “an abbreviated moustache” 😂 That banter has to be some of the best, but that line is one of the all time greatest treasures of Time Team. 😂😂😂
I know a bit about general history, but being from the U.S., I know nothing about English history, save what I see in movies. The last bit, where Helen said "This is where England stared" finally made me realize why this era and this site are so important. Thank you for sharing this with the world.
Only too pleased to educate others to our ancestry. Aren't we lucky?
Does that mean you don’t receive history teaching unless it’s about the U.S.?
@@lilyandrose8557 - Most of the time, we're lucky to get semi-accurate US history. lol
Thank you for posting this. Living in the States, this is my "go to" escape from the dysfunctional reality nightmare that is the US at this time...
Totally with you Gary, I'm a British ex-Pat living in the US for 10 years. I watched many of these episodes when they were first aired, but not all. A bit of fresh air and sense to get away from the constant mad battering politics of the last 4 years and the current pandemic failed response.
Britain is also in a disastrous state.
Escape all the way out.
Team Trump or Team Biden?
@@RealityHijacked Team Grownups?
I am a big, big fan of this channel as well as Timeline. I sacrifice my expensive data for you guys... Keep it up guys, love from Zimbabwe!
have you heard about the ruins of the kingdom in Zimbabwe ? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Zimbabwe :)

Rewatching these in HD is a treat! Thanks for the upload Time Team. :)
As a Swede, I realised I understood most of the Old English. Great episode!
Same here. Sound like old Dutch to me.
Same here, this is why I also love etymology!
Reminds me of old German/Pennsylvania Dutch that I’ve heard the Amish speaking
English is a bastard language, made up from very old local languages, and the conquering Roman, Saxon (Old Germanic) and Vikings (1066). Along with French and other Latin based influences. It's a weird amalgamation, which is why it kind of exists by itself, without any real direct similar languages. Like Swedish and Norwegian, Dutch and German, Spanish and Portuguese, those are all very close but their own language derived from a common predecessor. Despite this, it is the most common second language in the world.
@@Yvolve And with the basis of journalism derived in the vocabulary, grammer, and literary context of the English language, it kinda makes sense why journalism is dying as a viable profession.
I miss Mick, he was such an integral part of the show.
Indeed he was, he was not only very knowledgeable [I think] person on the show, i just loved that he was such a lovely human being.
Very happy to get these in HD. Thanks from the U.S.
Helen is a great combination of brains and beauty. Great episode
The Saxon seem to have a knack for Shakespearean-like insult duels! Pure poetry to my ears, both in form and meaning!
5:16 _"Try to cut to to the line."_
And he cuts dead center of the line. How could he even see the line from the cab? Talk about excellent depth perception and spacial awareness, that's impressive.
Those men amaze me - large equipment and precision.
oh yeah it's always great fun watching people show off their precision with backhoes and such
Phil is a real treasure
Phil's hat is far grander than that other feller's, and shows the love he has for his work where all that sweat has run down and forrad off his brilliant timeless head.
Cheers!
Just finally saw this episode and I havent laughed that hard in years especially with the antics between Phil and Matt. Stuff like this is what makes the show....besides all the archeology.
Finally, the origin of "yo momma" joke competitions has been discovered... 🤣😂
Tony... I didn’t know you were previously in the Black Adder shows. No mistaking your voice. Love the Black adder shows
It was all part of his cunning plan.
This episode is an example of why this programme was so popular. It also makes me wish we had more archaeological sites to dig here.
You just might have one. Civilization builds on top of civilization.
@@bigbensarrowheadchannel2739 Not in the US.
@@brianoneel514 Yeeeees.... because native civilisations didn't exist in the Manifest Destiny version of the USA history being taught in schools, right?
Philip is such a fun gentleman ! Would love to have a few pint's with him !
I love watching and learning. My father was an archaeologist, my mother was a geologist. When we lived in Montana. I was only 10 when I was aloud to on an excavation. I love watching every Time Team event.
The rusted chains of prison moons
Are shattered by the sun
I walk a road horizons change
The tournament's begun
The purple piper plays his tune
The choir softly sing
Three lullabies in an ancient tongue
In the Hall of the Saxon King..**
(**with courtesy to King Crimson. Sorry I forgot to acknowledge them.)
Wonderful!
Many thanks!
As a frisian, I understood all of Bede's mentioned line.
As I understand it, the Angles and the Saxons came from your part of Europe and brought their language with them. It completely replaced the Celtic language/s of what is now England before evolving into modern English.
Did you too jump when she said "Grubenhäuser"?
Fascinating bit of work, the coordination and research not seen, done prior to the field work is immense. History brought to light.
For those of us who are new to archaeology and don’t live in UK, it would be useful if you added to the description of the episode the dates (in years) and the time period in terms of Saxon vs. Middle Ages vs Roman, etc.) to help us learn.
"Even I could have guessed a hall would have a door in it." I love him 💗
I love this show and these people that dig up Great Britain.
This was a fun episode. The bantering was especially fun to hear/watch. Thank you your sharing ♥♥♥
Matt Williams is the best sport ever.
Agreed. He is the true gentleman. I've had the pleasure of watching him stay pleasant and strong when all the others use him for a scape-goat. Bravo, Matt.
The future Time Team has *got* to bring Matt back! And Raksha, Helen, Jimmy, and Henry! And Sir Tony, if he's willing!
27:50 -the best segue in 20 years of Time Team.
As usual I enjoyed watching this. Thanks. Tony and team this is the best program to watch
I love Time Team
I love Phil from the first onward....
Did they ever dig the other buildings? I'd say that the fifth rectangular one should be very interesting.
I am very glad that they talked about and toasted the great J.R.R. Tolkien. My ancestors were Anglo-Norse and to see how my fathers and mothers of old lived is sacred to me. This was a great help to me in creating the world of Midgard in my series of books called Visigothic
“The thinking man’s Dungeons and Dragons!”
Now I wonder if Tony plays D&D or how he even knows about it!
Good grief, bro, anyone over 40 has at least heard of D&D even if they've never played it.
Brilliant, Phil and Matt's banter, very funny. One of the best I've seen, and the Saxon lingo. Great stuff!!
Your geo fiz is like my old art. I suspect while watching this as a teenager, it was in my subconscious mind and came to the for into my art years later. What an impact you poeple have made through the love of time team.😊❤❤
Thanks for the HD uploads Time Team 👍🏼💕
I wasn't expecting an American historian. I can tell she's been in Britain for a long time because she's picked up a little RP here and there in her accent.
What a wonderful adventure. Always...
Uproarious bit of archeological banter there at the forty minute mark. Must be a job to keep troweling in the midst of such hilarity.
Love these.
Bede never left his monastery in Jarrow, and wrote his 'history' based on hearsay.
Yes, but my understanding is that he's literally the only extant source for the period, so you gots to work with what you've gots to work with.
A good lot of history is hearsay
I'm so bored staying home.and being boringly safe that I've taken to using Google maps to find an episodes dig site without having an address. This one was particular good because of the time of day being given near noon.
The landscape there is really interesting.
Great dig, great show.
Pints for all of yas if the Atlantic wasn't between us.
Phil really got pissed about that insult aimed at his mother.
Seems really unlikely that an eighteen foot long chain would have straight down from the roof. I feel like it would go over a beam and come back down, so you could raise and lower the cauldron.
Amazing! Thank you for the video, best UA-cam channel!
Like that double sided comb, I had one like that in plastic 30 years ago guess you could still get them. 1500 years later and you can still get versions of them now, amazing.
Tony is the epitome of sarcasm🙃🙃🙃🙃
I loved hearing that the Anglo-Saxons loved drinking beer and roasting each other 🤣
Nothing's changed in that respect, then!
Helen's excitement is a pleasure to watch
So cool to hear that flyghting is real! In Assassin's Creed Valhala video game, they have a flyghting mecanic, where it's like insulting verse that when you win, you get charisma points that gives you extra dialog options 🖤
Anyone notice that Sam Newton, at around 10:00 looks like he gets his fashion tips from Phil.
love this ---- thank you.
Everyone always talks about Phils signature hat, but can we all just acknowledge Helen's signature short shorts she wears oh so often on her appearances?
Everyone else: "lets ware some good solid clothing that's decent for hard work in rough conditions.
Helen: "I think I will wear the neon orange shorts that come up to my upper thighs and still work the trenches like a boss while also looking good at the same time."
And she wears ‘em well 😉👌
She’s kind of cute,,,,,
wear!
The field markings on google earth for this site are amazing
Just some archeological discoveries while the world falls apart love you tony I’ll remember you when the world goes mad max
awesome episode!
What happens to the sites after your team leaves.?
They cover it all up with the dirt they dug up and put what grass they can back.
Local archeologists take over. Time Team "jumpstarts" the dig.
Helen is the Boss!
Woah... wait... I am norwegian, but... I can understand what he's saying at 10:50?
Language is so awesome, I love it.
My favorite episode.
I’m not sure who’s the most fun in this show.
This is my Favourite episode.
You go Phil, good one..
I like the old buildings
thank you
Who does not enjoy Phil?
Tony says to Mick.................'You are always the doubting black country lad', nailed it in one! That is why i guess if you have watched this programe over time, that is why Mick's digs do take a pattern that includes the first part of the programe that includes plenty of geophys, Mick up in the helicopter with Stewart exploring crop marks, field walking, going over old maps and boundries, a close look at 'Lumps and Bumps' with Stewart, having a talk with the historians and with any person who he can find out any information that can help with the dig. I guess that is why people see Mick as a 'Doubling Black Country Lad'?
I cant recall if it was this episode or not, but Tony used the phrase "higgledy-piggledy" when referring to the building structures after the Romans left. I almost spit up my food laughing so hard. If this was the eipisode, does anyone know at what point he said this? LOL Im trying to find it in the transcript, but to no avail. [EDIT] Just found the video where Tony said that - it was a Timeline episode "The Life Of A Dark Age Farmer | The Worst Jobs In History" . Darn it, now I'm going to be using that phrase....
Damn you, Britain, with your culture and history! Sigh, at least we have forests here in Canada. But if those go, so shall I, to the British Motherland. 😊
Why could I understand that anglo saxon speech just fine?
@Mississippi Ditch Fisher Dutch actually, but with Norwegian ancestors.
The Angles and the Saxons came to England from your part of Europe. They brought their language with them and it replaced the local Celtic language/s before it evolved into modern English. You're hearing your sister language ❤
My MAIDEN name and ancestors are ancient ANGLO-SAXONS from Staffordshire, England...traced to the Doomsday Book, "TRENTHAM", Stoke-on-Trent community. I appreciate this wonderful program!!!
I'm a TEXAN..., and lived on RAF MILDENHALL 1982-1987. England in my blood!
Is it Angelen or saxon?
Quite a difference.🤗
Why all the CAPITALISATION please?
@Brisdad53 Because it was a taxcation-ground? You wete doomed to get taxiation 🤣😂🙈
@Brisdad53 No it was a tax-ground.
Nice to have the book, after all, but that was the reason.
Love the music
Can you please upload the Stonehenge specials? They are my favourite
Flyting, the original rap battle.
obviously its Uthrred's estate before he took over Northumbria
I love these digs. I sit with Uhtreds last book sometimes not wanting to finish it. I guess all good pints have come to an end
I love that the up yours has been an insult since at least the saxons
Remarkable!
The 'gruben' part of the Grubenhaus is about the pit that was dug, it has nothing to do with grub (food). I guess part of the original meaning survives in English' 'grubby' (dirty).
I think - chapeau - should go once in a while also to the digger drivers. with their big machines they could spread butter onto a slice of bread. and take it off again. without the bread being - damaged - ...
Never thought I'd hear a woman bragging "Mine's bigger!"
Tony Robinson is the man.
I can't stand him!
I cant wait til they find a whole damn pot under the ground and then im sure they would still say. Well I'm not sure if its 100% saxon
Well Hello Ms Faye ! :)
Never seen geo fizz work so hard.
I’m in love with Helen. So cute.
Anyone know where I could find more information on that board game they were talking about?
Score one for Matt Williams...😂
Pass the beer!
I donno when it was filmed, but Helen Geake is such a baby face here...
That 3 days limit is so frustrating. I just want them to keep digging and digging.
Frustrating? Yes, but they had to get back to their "real" jobs. 😒
Omg watching them flyte is just too much seeing as I’m playing AC Valhalla right now
Safety first! Blue helmets! Incase the excavator drops anything
Finally, Mik has his hair combed...
Why only 3 days? What happens after those 3 days? If they keep the sites open, will there be follow-ups?
All of the members of Time Team have regular weekday jobs. They only filmed episodes when everyone was able to participate.
The purpose of Time Team was to determine if sites had significant value as archeological sites & determine the area limits of those sites. There were a handful of later episodes that re-visit some of the original digs and
expose some of the more advanced results. Usually, continuation was carried out by local archeological groups.
Thank you both for the replies and insight. I by no means am an archeologist lol. But it is a fascinating field.
Do to past archaeological digs/destruction archaeologist @@antonisautos8704 seem to come to an agreement that they will only do sections of archaeological digs. Before archaeologists didn't care about anything except getting to treasures not realizing they were destroying treasures . Pyramids, Indian burial mounds & the like are perfect examples. They even came to an agreement that the tools they i=use today are even causing damage & to leave areas for future investigations untouched not knowing what type of tools will be used that don't do damage.
We call that game ' the mocking game'
