** ABOUT TIME TEAM **
Time Team is a British archaeology series that originally broadcast on the UK's Channel 4 for 20 series, and countless specials. Over the years, the team excavated over 220 sites, from back gardens to Buckingham Palace. The show has now returned to UA-cam, thanks to the incredible support of thousands of worldwide fans on Patreon.
Series 21 (Season 21) of Time Team follows two incredible new digs, each released in extended 3-part episodes exclusively on the Time Team Official UA-cam channel. The first dig explores a mysterious Iron Age site in Cornwall; the second investigates a huge Roman villa on the estate of a Tudor castle in Oxfordshire.

Thanks for letting me know
@@TimeTeamOfficial It's a great start. Is it possible to have some "to camera" pieces from Gus? I don't know if others feel the same but along with the voiceover it helps the viewer feel included/immersed in the dig.
Does the data from the coins found by the metal detection suggest that the south range of buildings could have been constructed with wood, and between the third and fourth centuries the north range was added on in stone?
Now that you're online, it wouldn't be unreasonable to extend your digs out to 7 days... Just a thought.
Also give Natalie a bit more air time and gus a bit less, it's a little unkind to make her so ancillary. She's got a good wit and is entertaining.
Oh, I do hope Time Team goes back - and that there is a longer, larger project to excavate and truly understand this site! Thank you so much - this has been marvelous.
Yes they've only tickled the surface!
@@stevecolman742 In a way that is and was what TimeTeam always was about - to go to a site the regular archaeology has neither time nor money for and show that it is worth to change that. To document the archeological value of a site - or even to document that is has none or not so much - so the few resources of the regular archeological institutions can be spread wisely. TimeTeam was never thought up as a way to fully excavate a site and give all the answers.
@@franhunne8929 Yes. And also there is at least one farmer (and a company perhaps), family(ies), and supporting personnel who are dependent on the property for their employment providing living humans with nutritional requirements. Sadly, it's a lot more complex than tacking on a few more days. And a few years would be even better!
Here we go again !!
@@silva7493 the farmer that currently rents that field only started renting it less than 2 years ago. They could easily stop renting that field out and properly excavate the ruins, they just don't have the funds to do so.
Well done loved every minute of it . It felt like 20 years ago and TIME TEAM had not finished it`s run on TV AND WHAT MADE IT BETTER IS HAVING SOME OF THE OLD TIME TEAM just like it was 20 years ago thank you
look forward to it.
Wonderful dig!!!
Great ep love you guys at Time Team!
The excitement I feel for each episode reminds me of the anticipation I had during the original series. Absolutely loving this format and the episodes. Looking forward to Dig 3!
Loved the new digs, it really feels from an audience perspective that the team's hit the ground running on both digs! It's great to see more of the process in the longer episodes; the technical side of things, really getting into the detail was always something I wished we saw more of in old episodes. More time to explore those details, along with the new tech that's available on-site now, really adds a lot of depth to what we as an audience get to see. I'm sadly not in a position where I can become a patreon supporter, but I can't wait to see what's next :)
Loving the new digs. Thank you everyone involved. You've found your mojo and returned to the essence of what Time Team was all about. I'm really enjoying seeing the mix of familiar faces and new ones too.
Sorry - just not the same wifout Phiw 'arding - the "superannuated hippie" as Mick called him.
@@davidfindlay5014 Whatever! Things change. Life moves on. Get used to it.
@@davidfindlay5014 No of course it’s not the same, how can it ever be. I love how they captured the entire series.
@@davidfindlay5014 I miss the old group as well but am very glad it's come back, even with new faces. It's just like the early years of TT.
We miss mick Aston 🙏 rip
Really loving that Time Team is back. While I miss certain old faces it doesn't take away from my enjoyment of the show in its current form. Plus all the new technologies used are cool. I also like getting 3 episodes that are 30ish minutes each. Hope to see more digs in the future.
The modelling is great (including the butterfly!)- it supplements and complements Victor's wonderful drawings so well. Really brings things to life. Well done!
The horse's head reminds me of my dad saying how his grandad used to catch eels: they would lower a horse's head on a rope into the water, and once a few had latched on, pull it up quickly and grab them off. The same head could be used for days or even weeks before it had to be discarded. Perhaps the same could have happened here?
Wonderful, wonderful! Henry Chapman, we need some core samples from those ponds for Naomi to investigate, and to find levels. How deep were they? A mill? Undershot wheel? Side wheel? I can't wait for the follow ups on this - I'd love to see much more of the photogrammetry on Broughton Castle itself - build it up from its earliest beginnings [and how much of it was made of stone robbed from that oh-so-convenient villa? ]. I DO hope you stay within the British Isles myself; there's SO much we don't know... This s the BEST sort of archaeology programme - the archaeology comes first, above and beyond the glitz of commercial tv. Gus, you have a lovely voice - you don't need to whisper! Thank you, ALL of you, for giving us all something positive to look forward to.
So happy that we have Time Team back. I do miss Tony's hosting style and his good nature teasing with his archeologist friends. This rendition, is more like an interesting professional retreat than an adventure of discoveries among friends.
Still facinated. Still a fan...just missed the commoderie and humor that gave me the feeling I was also a dig participant while sitting comfortably in my home. 🤗💚🤗
It might feel that way, but consider how much of that camaraderie existed after two digs of season 1. We have the immense benefit of being able to look back and see those decades long relationships between people develop over days or weeks if we want to watch all the old shows, but while there are some familiar faces here, the new presenters and other new members of the team are all just beginning their own adventures together. :)
I feel the same way. It was a joy to watch and you could tell they were having fun too, really enjoyed what they did, and were just as excited as we were to see the new finds. These cast members seem like it's an assignment, not an adventure.
Oh wow, this new style of presentation gives so much more scope for reflection as we watch. Looking forward to more new investigations… three days at a time of course. 😃
Love the new digs. Special shout out to Naomi and Stuart, they are obviously all amazing archeologist, but the passion of these two always makes me smile inside.
Oh wonderful just like the old days a Sunday evening episode can’t wait .
Time Team does it again! I was worried that it would turn out to be a poor copy of the original series, but what has been done is excellent. It feels "right"
I couldn't have said it better.
Loving Dr Gus actually in front of the camera but you've got to sort out these whispery voice overs, it's like David Attenborough on ketamine. More energy in voice overs please Dr G.
I love what you all have done with this site! Time Team means so much to those of us who enjoy history. Now that I am older, I find it funny sitting back at times and mentally reliving things after seeing a picture or seeing a landscape. Your addition of the audiovisual things makes one feel as though we are actually a part of the history. I am so glad you are back and have such great people doing the on-site work. May your program last for many years to come!
Got to say - as someone who's watched Time Team from the very start........ I'm very impressed with this new series. Very clever to use the same music and graphics. Great continuity. Also great to see so many original faces. John, Matt, Carenza, Helen, Stewart, Brigde. It would be awesome to have guest appearances from Phil and Tony. But...... very impressed. Great stuff.
Yeah, I hope they make a cameo when there is a nearby dig. It would be great.
@@worldmusic09 I can see Phil doing a cameo, even to the point where he gets scolded for dropping in into someone's ditch ;) - But Tony? Tony was a presenter, and I do not think that the show needs his presence again. Don't get me wrong, I loved his TimeTeam shows, I watch other shows with him presenting historical facts, he is doing a great job with that! It is just that I cannot see a natural drop in into this new TimeTeam show anymore. While Phil, himself being an archaeologist, could drop in more naturally. And of course he would never go into a ditch without permission, that is just against his code of honour.
@@franhunne8929 Yeah, I don't see Tony popping in but it would be nice to see Phil if he is up to it.
Phil has spent a lot of time on the Waterloo battlefield in recent years.
I don't miss Phil or Tony, but I do miss Rakshah, Francis, Mick, Victor and Ian Barclay (digger driver) - all dead apart from Rakshah.
my new favorite Time Teamer Hilde. ❤ smart, funny and beautiful! total package 😊 I'm so happy Time Team is back!
I wish you sincere luck with this venture…so happy Time team is back… a ray of sunshine to watch in these sombre times.
So glad Time Team is back. I’d love to see them bring back Tony,Phil and Francis also. They were the heart of the original series!
At first I was really eager to see the villa. Now I really really want to know more about the ponds and the functions of the site. Who cares about a villa? They are everywhere! The intricate water management system and the infrastructure however...
If that was a commercial farm with some sort of fish breeding and processing scheme as well, I can see how the economic basis would have fallen apart along with the Roman Empire.
I presume it's pure speculation that Britain was supplying grain for the legions on the Rhine to bake into bread. If so, it took much more than a thousand years for that to become possible again. And it's gone once more.
It took about 1500 years before people in England were able to enjoy central heating like those Romans once had, but now it's not just for the very rich.
I like it. The new format is beginning to settle ... find itself. I loved the wrap-up bit with the 3D model.
howdy! i had a thought about the tower mentioned in the show. if the villa was producing wheat, they might have had a granary to hold the crop in. that might be what the tower was for.
Na... bring back the original style to this programme please. The presenter thinks he's talking to a bunch of 8 year olds.
Something they used to do in the older episodes, which I hope they will do again, was add an outline on the screen, of the walls, or whatever space they are trying to show to us. I've found it very hard at times to follow where exactly these walls are. It would be helpful to add the outline of the walls for the viewer to get a more clear idea of the space they are walking around explaining.
A wonderful last episode, and such a great mix of well known and new faces. I am already very fond of Naomi and Hilde, who both show such knowledge and enthusiasm. I would like to thank all the commenters here - Time Team fans from all over the world, passionate about archaeology and this show. It is a wonderful feeling to be part of this worldwide community. Cheers to you all!
I enjoyed the new episode, but I have a few criticisms though. I miss Tony’s at times very apt scepticism, as this dig seem to meander with no real goals in mind. The sarcophagus trench achieved not much at all.
We never really saw a floor plan as the old TT would have shown, the reconstruction looked good but seemed to extrapolate from very little real data. Naomi finds grain but anything else?
Tony as a narrator would have been more questioning of the strategies.
What should their goals have been ?
Brilliant, loved it. Sunday evening with Time Team. As it should be 😄 Thanks all, good job
It isn't the same without Tony's enthousiasm.
I totally agree. Miss Mick and Phil interaction too. I find this new show not up to standard of original show.
I really was a bit worried hearing time tram was coming back that they wouldn’t be able to fully capture just what the old show did but the fact that they’re coming out with new digs so quickly and that they really haven’t changed anything except some of the cast members and the tech has really put all my worries to rest. So seriously excited to see what y’all have in store next
Fabulous, loving the 3 episode format - keep them coming
Brilliant 3 days - and listening to all the huge talent TT have assembled has been inspirational. Thank you all very much & i will look forward to the digs this year!
It's really heartening to see so many positive comments on here. It is an incredible achievement to have brought the show back purely by tapping into the enthusiasm of fans rather than being dictated to by a TV network. The result is a brilliant blend of old and new. Simple answer if you want more and can afford a few pounds a month: back Time Team on Patreon. It'll also help a return visit to this site.
A wonderful moment at 4:48 that makes the whole thing more "real" to me by reminding me of places I've worked. In this moment we see what appears to be a sieve labeled "Dry Sieve Only", with water pouring through it lol.
Really hope there is a major dig in the future to reveal all the industry that went on there, really fascinating
I’d love to see more actual digging and uncovering of the finds but I am really LOVING the fact that TIME TEAM IS BACK BABY YEAH!!!!
So good to have TT back. It seems churlish to criticise but I have to. Gus, when you do the off camera talk over can you please not use the Jackanory voice? Please?
When on camera and taking to archaeologists you talk like an adult so you can do it. It just sounds so condescending to have the "are you sitting comfortably" voice narrating. Sorry...
Oh so true! Why Gus, why? You are a smart man. Maybe some of us are quite smart too and prefer to be addressed as adults. Also the charm of the original was that all these experts while their abilities were so impressive, none of them took themselves seriously and all took the Mickey constantly.
Thank you that was brilliant to watch, I feel part of my mind was in the past while you were showing what you imagined the site in the 4th century. I hab to sit and relax for a while with the pictures running through my mind. The portrait of the lady is beautiful, and shows how bright the colours in the villa must have been, and the care that was taken of the ladies last resting place is a testament to how much she was cared for by her family which is heartwarming. I cant thank you enough for the great pleasure you have given me and everyone else who loves Time Team, but my life is richer for being able to watch you all. God bless you all love and hugs Mary-Ellen UK
Great dig. I enjoy this format. Only sad that you did not have time for the Lady. Please go back and dig the sarcophagus
Great episode but really wish they concentrated more on the burial
It’s all jolly pleasant isn’t it. I miss the challenge that Tony, Mick, Phil and others created. Where is the robust debate and disagreement? Whenever experts work together there is naturally a tension. It lacks character for me. Over edited and soft voiced.
there's a depth of knowledge in play, connected pools of intellectual expertise confirming Stewart Ainsworth's interpretation. Hat tip brilliant Stewart. Right again. Bravo time team!
It takes a community to raise a child and a community to raise up the 2000 year old history of a community.
fascinating. intriguing.
I really start to enjoy the new moderators and cannot understand the hate they get. Yes, I loved Tony Robinson, but the new voice from Gus is less anxious, a little less sarcastic (which is partly a shame, the humour has mainly left the building), and the soothing voice of Gus is quite nice as antidote to these a little too exciting times. Do I miss the digs between diggers? Of course I do. But I enjoy the new technology possibilities and that each day now gets more time than previously. Keep on doing what you are doing, Time Team!
"Soothing" is indeed how I would describe Gus's voiceovers-- a quality one never expected from Tony. Tony could bring the humor, but he could also bite hard on random team members, sometimes to the point of making it uncomfortable (Remember when Mick the Twig refused to give a firm date on those bridge timbers?) Tony also cracked the whip to speed things up, which was important when a show covered 3 days in 50 minutes, but not a problem now when 3 segments add up to an hour and a half. By and large, this modernization is a fine update. I miss the team members who have aged out, but I like the new young ones very much.
It took me a little while to get used to the new format, but now I love it! As someone who used to do 3D historical reconstructions I can really appreciate the new CGI and the new technology around it! Well done to the whole team…and I think Mick would have loved it too!
Glad this series has come back. Will look forward to seeing more in the future ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Sorry I just think the host sounds like a person doing a historical educational film does not have the humor, off the cuff or link to the listener that Tony had. Sounds so prepepared just not as good.
Time team has meant a lot to me over the years. I've been dealing with a spinal injury for 11 years now, and have to spend a lot (way too much) time on my back.Now cancer has further complicated things. I have watched all the episodes multiple times, and absolutely love the show, and will continue watching them over and over.I have even seen some distant relatives in Cornwall (I'm a yank). I love the 2 new episodes, but with 2 caveats. I can't imagine why they waited 'til the 3rd day to start excavating the lead lined sarcophagus in the 2nd dig, knowing what a tedious and time consuming job it is to work on skeletons and (hopefully) grave goods. I can't imagine why they didn't put a crew on that first thing on day 1, knowng how long t would take. That caught my interest right away in the previews, and it never materialized, big bummer! The second, and very minor criticism is, if in future episodes, Dr. Gus could speak up during the narration. At times he seems to go into a whisper. Over all, job well done, and keep up the good work! Hope to see more episodes in the future! Thanx again.
I'm sorry to read about your injury and cancer health issues, and hope you're receiving the very best care.
I agree with your views on the new production.
Also, Gus has a pleasant natural speaking voice, and I think it's a shame that he doesn't use it during his narration. I tap the screen to fast forward these sections.... and don't think I'm missing much :)
🎉Boom! Time Team is
Definitely Back!! Loving it!!
Tnx!
Brilliant! Modern archaeology has reached higher levels, that provides us with far greater forensic clarity than ever. This series is but a wonderful hint of much more to come, I feel. Bring it on!
The final VR graphics putting the complex within its setting were stunning so hats off to the team responsible for that. As ever part of a mystery unravelled begs for more investigation. I love it and everybody involved.
Yes the final VR graphics were truly super and no doubt done after a lot of reflection upon what they discovered. My only (tiny) criticism of the VR of the complex, was the lack of smoke. In those days hearth fires would have been burning probably 16 hours a day.
I feel as if I’v been visiting with old friends. Thank you.
New narrator puts us to sleep :( Love the revamp! Add some earnest excitement (without going full UA-cam hype) to those intros and segues like our old host used to do!
Do you realize that without Tony and Phil, the only person to be in every Time Team episode, as far as I can tell........ is John Gator?
I think Stewart is close to his record, right?
Not counting the underwater episodes. I don't think he was in all of them.
@@Oleandra-13 They are almost tied. Stewart has only missed a tiny amount of episodes. Also fun fact: Stewart once named a leech after John Gator
This was just brilliantly done. My hat's off to all of Time Team, this was a truly engaging and fascinating dig. So glad to see even more of the original Team back, with Neil and Kerry, then having Gus and Natalie's wonderful presentation styles, Emily's excellent direction, it's just more than I ever expected. Can't wait to see what gets chosen for this year's digs. Well done Time Team!
I'm really enjoying this new series and seeing how the science has moved on. However I do miss Tony's (somewhat confrontational) energy... especially his knack of poking at the archaeologists and calling them out when they were being cagey. Everyone is a bit too polite to each other at the moment but hopefully this will wear off over time.
I miss the pub visits too
😀This was wonderful ! I cried at the end. I just love the new more complete picture we get from more programs and more information . I am so pleased to be a tiny part of all this. Thank you all for your work!!!
So wonderful to have Time Team back! Kudos to the work from the "old" team paving the way for this "new" team and thanks to all who have made this new inception come into being. Greatly appreciated by this fan viewer :-)
a history making show, not just for its scope and duration , not just for the phenomenal
assemblage of rare minds, but now the use of the most cutting edge electronics ! to show back up with up to date and mind blowing new tricks, and still have the ambiance of decades of production and audience history, just wow! a rare thing it always was, and even more awesome it becomes daily! carry on !!!
Really enjoying the show. Just finishing episode 3 now. There's a finding of carbonised grains and plenty of water. Seem to me two very important ingredients of brewing. Roasting the grain for the likes of a stout/porter style of beer. ...possibly not, but I really like the thought of this being a brewery :-)
It's a shame they didn't start digging the sarcophagus on day 1 as there was clearly additional information to be discovered there.
Even three days would not be enough to do it justice. I hope some local team is going to carry on that work, or else it will have to be covered up and left for another half-century.
Let's get these guys to 8,000 on Patreon. We need more Time Team!
Fabulous show ! You guys had an obviously tough act to follow after the success of the original series but with quality presenters and some of the original team members with the latest technological equipment you did not disappoint. So looking forward to more adventures and could only dream of being able to join in on the ground 👍
yep, I'm still hooked on this show. the most interesting program there is.
Amazing job. Really enjoyed this dig. I do miss seeing Tony and Phil -- and Mick, of course. Hope there will be more digs in the future.
It's lovely to see how fluent these people are in the language of archaeology, even that Matt is now a pro 👍☘
As good as 2022's first 3-part episode was, this Oxfordshire episode was even better. The blend of new folks and legacy team members has been excellent, and I'm enjoying these shows with as much joy and delight as the original shows. I concur with those who would like to see more episodes from this site as it seemed there was more to share and just not enough time to share it AND yes, a return visit here seems totally in order. SO looking forward to continuing to back Time Team and its return and to the new sites we all explore together. If you're not already a Patreon supporter, by all means, join in the fun!
6:23 - Matt has really turned into Phil minus the accent, hasn't he!*
*Yes, that is a compliment.
A very impressive excavation, congratulations to everyone involved. I think that the format of three half hour episodes is an improvement on the original television program.
Brilliant stuff! The 3D animations at the end were very impressive in conveying how the villa and ponds may have looked in the landscape.
I am truly enjoying these new episodes and I sincerely hope that they are picked up by a network and we can all see more of this excellent content
I have to admit I teared up as the credits rolled. So lovely to see some familiar faces and get to know some promising new additions! Thank you, Time Team - and of course all the sponsors that made this happen. My fervent hope is to see you guys again on several new digs. Meanwhile, I am just super grateful that you gave us these two new intriguing offerings. Thanks again!
I had never heard of Time Team till the other day. As a guy from the US I love this. Keep it up ya'll!
check out some of the previous series
While I'm glad TT is back, I'm kind of left hanging...early days, as they used to say on the old show. There was all the tantalising 3D of Broughton Castle that wasn't revisited, and, frankly, was so more interesting that than the dig of 12(?) trenches that yielded...not much. And why didn't they fully excavate the grave, instead of leaving it till day 3? Yes, it was dug in the 60s, but when archaeology was primitive compared to today's technology. A full excavation may have revealed so much more. Interesting to watch, but it seems to be overall a disappointing dig but the footage had to be cobbled into something. I'll keep watching though, and thumbs up regardless.
Woohoo! So so happy to have you all back.
Great to have the show back, lead voice chap just dosent bring the vibe.
Fabulous episode. One of the best ever !!
Hope Hilde's lovely red hair is natural :)
Bravo! You guys are doing such a great job. Not just honoring the original, you are carrying on where it left off as well as if it had never left us.
When Time Team dig roman remains, they almost always turn out to be incredibly epic!
why didn't Tony come back? the show really misses and needs Tony
In classic time team fashion, they left behind years of work that needs to be done. Amazing.
It was never the concept of TimeTeam to finish a site. Always about carefully exploring if the site was worth digging.
I'm enjoying the program. For many Time Team veteran viewers, the "wow" factor for things like simple period dating of a Roman coin is perhaps a bit overdone. We remember Guy de la Bedoyere whipping that stuff out with complete ease.
I'm amazed at what was accomplished in the 3 days! Fabulous episode, showing how worldwide experts have used the advances in technology to discern many of the mysteries of this ancient Roman Villa. Thank you! Our hat's off to you all. We hope this is a portent of more episodes to come.
Oh my, what a wonderful series these last 2 digs have been, what with the culture of the old time team and the amazing new techniques and technology that indeed bring the past alive again. Thanks all for bringing Time Team back.
Still loving the digs. Looking forward to more prehistoric. But I find myself missing the loud, brash, pub crawling days of yore.
So glad to see Helen & Carenza back but I miss Racksha. I liked her. SOOOOOO glad Matt is back. He was my favorite (little crush). And, of course, I miss Philip with his beautiful laugh, that part loveable curmudgeon and part comedian. Love his passion. And, also Mick, God Bless him. I miss Tony flying from trench to trench to hassle the archeologists. Those 3 were funny together. Loved those moments. But glad Time Team is back. Matt needs to be included in the meeting of the Professionals (Dr., etc.) Like Phil & Tony were. He's earned it!
Thank you Tim Taylor and the Time Team, old and new, for making this happen. Patreons you are wonderful.
Amazing! And I had to chuckle at the shot of Naomi's "dry sieve only" set up :)
Hello Time Team crew! Great to have you back! One suggestion, if I may. This is something that I think was missing from the original series that I think might be a nice opportunity this time around: providing a time-lapse of a given Roman villa's journey from its heyday to it's current state. In other words, give us an idea of what the (dilapidated) building might have looked like a couple of centuries after Roman occupation and onwards. Actually show how the roofs collapsed, then the walls, the elements, etc. Currently, it always goes from magnificent building to a barren field. It would be nice to imagine/render what happened in the interim.
Just to sing your praises some more; I'm so glad that the *sound* of Time Team returned! Not even just the main theme, it's the fact you retained the rights and usage of all the old familiar instrumental bits over the voiceovers too. I hadn't realised how much I missed and associated those background tracks with the show, wouldn't of been the same feel without them. Kudos!
FANTASTIC! No silly stuff just a proper piece of work. Thanks for taking me!
Miss Tony Robinson narrated the programme.
Well done all, from a proud supporter. Can't wait for the next one when you're ready!
Fantastic that TimeTeam is back but, sorry, it lacks the timeless charm of the originals. The presenter is clearly very professional but a bit too BBCish, like Sir David Attenborough. How do you recreate the magic that Tony, Mick and Phil brought?
I agree. I’m also glad they’re back and appreciate the fact that this is fan funded but I don’t care for the presenters whispering style of speaking and I really don’t like the video conferencing with Brigid in NZ. I watch for Carenza basically as I am a big fan of hers. Wish the show was all her. I will continue to watch because maybe they’re just finding their stride and it will get better.
@@EvilEye45s Thanks, it's good to hear that I'm not alone thinking this. I like Carenza too. I actually think that Tim Taylor would have been great heading it up, maybe the two of them. Will be interesting to see how it develops.
Stewart was always , and still is my favourite, closely followed by John. So lovely to see everyone again.
Instead of John and Stewart duking it out, we have their expertise overlapping in larges swathes of landscape. Stewart's trained surveyer's eye and John's electronic wizardry.
