- England relied on the skills of her iron workers centuries before the Industrial Revolution. Tony Robinson and the Team travel to what is now a quiet rural valley in Staffordshire in search of those skills.
It appears that the valley was a mass of furnaces and blacksmiths for centuries. The Team know that the Elizabethans smelted there - but how much further back can they take the story?
They've got just three days to see if they can get back 300 years into the dark days of medieval England.
I love how the sun shines through Mick's hair...like a halo!
My husband turned me on to time team a few years ago, probably during COVID. We watch at least one episode every day. It doesn’t matter how many times I watched an episode, I enjoy it as much every time. So sad when heard of Mic’s passing, such a wonderful human being ❤
I could listen to Tony all day long......oh wait, I have...thanks Reijer
I love these homeowners who invite the team in to make a mess of their back yards!
Sacrifice in the name of knowledge...
Must be cool to talk to Baldrick over a pint though. For an anecdote or two...sure, go dig up whatever you want.
so much information from a little piece of clay pottery. amazes me every time.
Thank you Reijer Zaaijer for all of Time team I enjoy watching them in the USA!
The spaniel is a bit cheesed off. “How come I met a whack when I dig in the flower beds, and when humans do it, my master just encourages them?”
What a gorgeous house. ♥
Very enjoyable and satisfying episode. I didn't think Carenza looked angry early on, as much as impatient to get going. Such a beautiful area and beautiful garden to work in! And I heard wrens singing in the background!
I just find it amazing that families in Britain have lived in the same location for generations.
Where I grew up there was Jonny Wullen from Wullen avenue, Garry Price from Price lane and one more I cant remember. They had lived there for so many generations no one knew if the families had given rise to the street names of the streets have given them the family names.
But these families had lived there for several hundred years
The answer is contentment and family important.
"John, that was the longest gloat I've ever heard."
Beautiful country!
I don't think I've heard the word slag so much since Absolutely Fabulous.
lmao
I knew a Bloomsbury slag but they ran her out and she had to move south of the river.
You slag!! 😂
I just came across Time Team documentaries a few days ago. I love watching them!!
Great to binge on during quarantine!!!
Thank you Reijer Zaaijer for recording all the TT episodes. We can watch it only on UA-cam in Hungary.
Aren't the dvd sets available?
I can probably order them from the UK if I had the money.
@@csottohal available on amazon in higher resolution.
Twenty seasons of TT on dvd=very big bucks in any country.
I love the rivalry between John and Stewart! Though I must say, I think I've seen Stewart correct more times than John, at least up to this point in the program. I don't know how the geo-phys results can be so very off sometimes. I've seen it pick up very distinct features that are simply not there at all, and I've seen it completely miss very distinct features that are right there in the ground. It's absolutely amazing how much Stewart can usually discern and predict, just from having a look over the landscape.
schradeya Geo-phys works based on density and magnetism. Dense dirt is still dirt, and if there is magnetic particulate, it'll look like metal.
John and Stewart are both wizards. John rubs his magic lamps. Stewart walks off into the woods and consults elves. The elves have a higher batting average.
@@rodritchison1995 Exactly.
Geophysics relies on the difference in ground composition. One of the elements to that is water.
If a dry gravel bed is in a clay bed it will give a signal.
And if a porous rock is water logged in a wet clay bed they'll see no contrast.
Igneous rock by its very formation and composition would give a magnetic signal.
The technology has moved a long way but it's far from perfect. But imagine how many things would have been missed without this technology. And now we have Lidar which is turning up a whole host of new archeological sites. Especially in dense jungle areas, like the Amazon.
This was possibly the most beautiful location TT ever dug in. Who cares whether they found anything, just look.
Absolutely this program was one of the most interesting to me. Thank you to all who were involved.
Beautiful countryside !!💞💞💞
The back garden is here:

I recommend turning the map 90º to get the valley view that Stewart shows on the map at 39:05
Stannous Flouride thanks for posting the coordinates!
35:57 Whenever I see Phil squinting to protect his 'trench eye' I wish he had gone full pirate and worn an eye patch.
Thanks for posting
Excellent series.
Phil even more on point than usual.
Cottage , looks like a Mansion
lol they must all have awesome friendships!
Beautiful place.
Three days without Dr. Alice Roberts is like three days without sunshine in Staffordshire.
I feel the same about Dr. Jenni Butterworth... There's been a few episodes without Carenza, as well... I felt kind of lost and wandering while watching those...
Personally, my favourite TimeTeam Geake has always been Helen ...
You have Briget? is it me or does she looks slimmer?
Thnx for uploading!
Guest appearance by Robin Williams as Jerry the metals expert.
Phil Harding for PM!
We need a world wide political do over, people like Phil are exactly the kind I'd want in any office.
It didn't take them long to realize they were wasting valuable show sitting around the breakfast table like season 1.
I only just this past month discovered time team..HOW?!?!
It is the best show ever!!
Thanks.
the scenery is beautiful,hard to imagine that it would look so different ,because of the ironworks,a few hundred years ago.
What I want to know is given how rare and important this site is was it scheduled by English heritage to protect it?
Because as technology moves on our plows will just dig deeper and deeper into the soil. Not to mention it would protect that field from further development.
OSHA would not be happy about that excavation being so deep.
"No, presumably when last used they took out the bloom and used it."
Yeah, Mick, what a dumb question.
First aired February 15, 2004.
They always spread themselves thin on day 2. Why is Carenza surprised?
Carenza say “great white hope” at around 30:00 ?? 😆😆 bet time team classics wont upload this one without some editing
Don’t be silly.
than the place name "bloomington" might indicate an iron furness?
This is more interesting than Brexit !!
In constructing their bloomery out of bricks instead of clay, why didn't they make it square instead of round, with just a thin skin of clay acting as mortar? It would have dried much faster than trying to fill clay into the great big gaps left by a circular brick structure.
What happened to across the street?
When did Robin pass?
Robin Bush died on 22 June 2010 after a long period of illness. He is buried in the cemetery of St Nicholas's Church, Corfe, in Somerset.
We couldn't find one.. so we built one.
Oh. Good job they weren't looking for a pyramid....
Carenza knows she's beautiful
Oh Gawd....another bloody furnace episode.....:) Still, at least there's lots of slag.
Hi.
WOW- @ 22:28...Bridget cut quite the profile in her day. Lovely. Many thanks Reijer Zaaijer for uploading. You're a legend!
The team is so much grander when Carenza is in attendance.
is it just me, or, do the fellas "talk" about work , and, the gals do the digging?
Just you
My next wife will be an archaeologist, they are hard working chicks
Explain to me why some people call women slags again? I don't see the connection
Something discarded & unwanted, like most modern "slags" are.
Dirty and used.
id think it's obvious no?
I wish people would stop throwing around words like "revolutionary".
Sounds like they punted on the cottage furnace. They just made it up to make the guy happy.
... The *actual* bloomin' slag was off in the *other* trench, running on, and *on*... 41:05 ...
I get the feeling that Carenza was rather annoyed throughout part of this episode. She felt they should have continued excavating at Furnace Cottage however Mick and John elected to dig at another site; a site she opposed. Tony's piece-to-camera at the end seemed to hint that everyone had kissed and made up, but Carenza's body language indicated that she still wasn't all that happy.
when will men learn to follow a womans intuition,her arms crossed was a dead give away,im sure she was upset knowing she was right
She seemed very annoyed
Funny that Carenza had her arms folded in within the first 3 minutes of this episode. Was she upset at that time too?
+Robert Braiden
Actually, it doesn't mean she was grumpy at all, in fact the opposite. If you see the metals expert has his arms crossed and when he says the site was good for iron working throughout history, Carenza is actually in agreement with him and adopts his body language. Then if you look carefully behind Tony, as soon as the home owner turns to talk with both of them, they form a tight group and he too folds his arms. They are mimicking each other's body language because they are in accord, not in anger or annoyed.
+Fedra Haldane --Sometimes people who are not holding something cross their arms because it is more comfortable than letting them hang.
Carenza rocking that strap top and shorts. Her hottest look so far….
Well, I got through 43 minutes before I gave up on any interest in iron furnaces and slag.
Does anybody else get annoyed that they take time and manpower away from the intended project to do the model builds and reenactments? I want them to just stick to the project while their time is so short anyway. We get the idea from the drawings and computer animations. We don't need Phil to build to a whole new demo furnace. He needs to keep digging.
I forward through the reenactments myself.
@@juliechi6166 This kind of _experimental archæology_ is of great value - as a bonus most people find it as entertaining as you do!
@@philaypeephilippotter6532 I find that the experiments make me appreciate my ancestors more and more.
They were much more inventive, able, and clever than I imagined, and life could not have been easy back then.
It's nice not to have Romans in this episode.
I prefer Romans!
Well, Romans were here a long time.
