Any episode with Mick and Stewart in it is great for me, i find they compliment each other so well.
Yup, that'll do to lift the spirits. Takes you away from it all and for 50 mins, Mick, Phil, Stewart, John, Raksha, Helen, Carenza and Tony make it all good with the world. Thanks for posting
Mick is not in this world anymore.
@@jacquelinevanderkooij4301 you're right and it's such a shame
Hear hear, mate : )
I'm hoping for a Raksha spinoff.
@@jacquelinevanderkooij4301 really? Oh no 🥺
Stuart never ceases to amaze me. He sees so much, where I only see grass and trees.
Completely agree. He is the most underrated member of Time Team in my opinion.
I also agree! It's not right when they mock him wanting a trench in places. And I saw some do this, which upset me. I was saying please listen to him.
@@Go-Dawgs 🤣
Yeah and Stewart sees plenty that is not there.
He saw wrong here lmao his lopsided titles face head scare me at times. S
That camerawork when they talk around the table over a pint. So good, feels like you’re there among them.
No one mentioned that dr David Neal totally nailed it. Bathhouse with a pool
I really enjoyed the original Time Team conversation around a Pub table, at the end of a day of digging.
I've been there myself many times, not on time team just after digging 😢😅
This is another site that I'd love to see someone go back to and do more work. So many unanswered questions.
I must agree...it's all so intriguing, and a mere three days to explore is like sitting down to a sumptuous banquet only to be dragged away kicking and screaming before you've even finished with the appetizer. I reckon this is the curse of those who seek knowledge.
It’s always a winner when Mick Aston is in the episode!
Karen beasley playing with
This is one of the sites the new 2021 Time Team should revisit.
Ab-so-lu-te-ly!!!!
These videos are getting me through lockdown. It just takes me back to every Sunday evening of my childhood. Watch Time Team and then jump in the bath before bed and make sure my school clothes were ready for the next day. Ahhh nostalgia
I discovered time team during covid and I am glad I did. I found them after watching Tony's worst jobs in history series
Same here. Saturday gladiators, generation game & you’ve been framed. The Sunday roast time team, stargate sg1 bath and bed
@@1987adennis that was literally my life!
Yup.. Remember them days love to go back there 😭
The Lil grey shorts and jacket with matching cap? Or do British kids not wear that
31:30 People outside drinking beer and enjoying themselves .. ahh the good old days
Its been 84 years. Lol.
Only sheep don't do it today.
Those days will be back. Once vaccines, herd immunity, and time do their jobs, Covid will be be just another thing we deal with like the cold or flu. It just takes time and we will be sitting around a table enjoying a beer before you know it.
I just wanted to know if it was the Frogmill?
@@losttribe3001 oh yeah vaccine that doesn’t make you not catch it still?? That’s not a vaccine.
Requirements to be a Time team member
1. Know how to use a trowel or shovel.
2. Know how to identify roman tesserae.
3. Ability to consume large amounts of ale and still sound knowledgeable.
You forgot 'how to identify Roman samian ware'.
wonder how many trowels they go though each month.
You left out identifying "materials you can get a date from": Tiny fragment of Neolithic whatever? Nope! Roman mosaic, with chocolate and flowers? Yup!
#3 😀😄😂😅
I can do 1 and first part of 3.
Love Tony saying "John Geo Phizz" great name...
I never see a Time Team without yearning for time travel.
be sure to take a camera
@@ivanolsen7966 Most definitely Ivan!!
I live near a Roman site in Austria (Carnuntum) where archaeologists not only excavated part of the Roman town, but several buildings have been reconstructed on top of their original walls, as true as possible to their original appearance according to the information available. There's even a bathhouse with working hypocaust, and a couple of times a year they have festivals where they invite dress historians who demonstrate Roman fashions, reenactors who demonstrate gladiator fights, and the restaurant sells food made from Roman recipes. It's quite an immersive experience. As long as time travel remains elusive, I'm happy with this instead.
Actual goosebumps when they find the intact mosaic...
SPOILER ALERT! Th is for giving it away.
@@lavillablanca lol don’t read the comments 😆
@@lavillablanca To be fair they didn't actually describe the mosaic 😂
Umm why??
The bits with Stewart are the best. I'd follow him and his clipboard around any field.
Love the discussions! Really shows the thinking processes behind the archeology and how one clue might point in so many different directions just depending on who and how one is looking at it. Fascinating stuff!
Also, it's always nice to hear someone admit they were wrong. It's too rare and needs to happen more. People need to realise that it's not a character flaw but exactly the opposite to be able to do that
agreed, but a lot of it is very scripted. Its not really how people discuss in the real world. Its kinda like you say your bit and then i`ll say mine. Once you notice, you cant ignore it
Today was a hard day for a Yank. A Time Team episode really puts things in perspective. Thank you.
Today is the first day I have personally felt shame for being conservative. It’s truly disgusting what those idiots did.
Luckily I have Time Team to take my mind off the happenings of the day.
Took the words right out of my mouth.
It's a bad day for everyone, an unstable US is bad news for all of us. I wish you all the best and hope you all start talking a bit more and stop listening to internet echo chambers. Love me some Time Team, a real use of the Net!
I know that feeling
Ditto!
Stewart is just so cool; always impressive work!
This is one of the top 10 Time Team videos. It covers a great deal of territory and has turned up many finds. 👍
A fantastic team. All special in there own way. I miss this program and sad that it will be so hard to replace. This program fired my imagination. In this program you mention the river Cole. I once found what was left of a roman sword in the river cole I gave it to the blaksley museum
This is an episode from 2006 :) good old times 😅
No way! I'm from the states and have recently discovered these guys. I would like to know if there are any follow ups to their finds. I would love to see a series where they pick certain archeological sites and return for for a longer dig.
@@BigChrisKenney I'm not sure about follow-up work, but if you want a more detailed report on each episode's findings you can access those here: www.wessexarch.co.uk/our-work/time-team
You might be able to find out about follow-up work from these, or they might help you in a search for further info. All the best.
Well if Time Team were resurrected, the unexplored areas here would be a great target for a new episode!
I wish they could come back.😔
It might happen! Check out their website. They are crowd funding a comeback, and are doing really well so far!
@@renjones4708You got your wish 🎉
Just watching this after the newest new episode. Matt has really become the man
great episode. I am such an archeology nerd and Time Team Classic is my favorite channel. Can't really get behind the high production value of the new show with the new crew. I love these clunky, nerdy, pint-swilling old know it alls, the low tech filming. Pre-drone helicopter rides are the best.
Yeah I'm not a fan of the new TT
very nice that the episodes can be seen in good quality. addictive i can't stop watching 😩
Well done, Moles!! They gave you the clues you needed.
Simply put: Yet another excellent episode. Can't imagine life without it.
They were amazing builders back in those long ago days. Especially with the tools they had to work with.
More please! Keeping me sane!
🤣😂🤣🙈👍
I’m in love with this tube channel....
I enjoy every episode even when they don't find anything, but this episode has to be the most epic of any episode I have ever seen, simply amazing! Now I want to see more of that dig, I wonder what that second larger villa looks like!?
Just look at the beautiful patchwork of countryside!
Watching again .what a team . All manner of attitudes. All knowledgeable. They would all be good to sit down with for a few beers. And just let them loose with there ideas. Thanks peoples
Incredible and extensive findings like this should be extended and explored in depth and then preserved so that everybody can go to see and live history!
Fantastic episode. Bring back Time Team.
I love the end of day 2 in the pub garden when Tony rips into them all about totally ignoring the remit of the 3 day dig. He was spot on.
..wow.. only twenty minutes into the show and its looking so good, thankyou time team, for making such wonderful programmes.. 🙂
Awesome video. Time team at its best.
Classic episode!
I'm watching this in the middle of the cold Canadian winter, and all I can focus on is the sounds of the birds.
Me: Immidiatly starting to hear the Old world sparrows...
This is a place I would like the new Time Team shows to revisit!
You guys do great work and I am almost always surprised by the things you find. You are doing a great work in furthering our understanding of past and present.
Just found out Time Team is making a comeback. Immediately signed up on Patreon.
Bravo!
Great finds :D and well done Mick for wearing a Sight Savers t-shirt!
He wore them for 10 years.
Matt is definitely the biggest winner on this dig!
Loved it and still love it. 3 days is too short!
They only did three day because they had other jobs to do on the week days in universities or what ever they do in their normal jobs. They only had as long as the weekend to finish, they did extend a few episodes but for the most part it was three days. I agree it would be good if they continued beyond three days though.
Two pipes that have a lot of meaning to me the first is my Peterson Sherlock doctor. My wife got it for Christmas for me when we first got married she knew I loved Sherlock and Peterson pipes. The second is my honey bowl radiator pipe it belonged to my wife’s grandfather and the fact she trust me with it means the world to me. Side note I grew up in a preachers house and the story of the pipes about the rough years of ministry took me back to point in my child hood and I remember my dad praying in his study with his pipe going. Thanks for the memories returning.
Great job! Thank you!
I love this show... Sad that Mick passed away
Victor the ARTIST and IAN the DIGGER DRIVER have passed on as well
RIP
Now that is a result .Not all Time Team shows come so far to find what is amazing
Definitely one they need to revisit.
love me some time team!
The scent of the Meadowsweet must have been amazing !
Time team classics is my Roman Empire
Roman history and archaeology is gives me goosebumps. Absolutely staggering bathhouse find, and some. A shame it has to be reburied and not excavated by a university. I would love to view this particular bathhouse insitu. It's magnificent! ❤
The chirping birds were the best part. Thought they were outside my window for the first few minutes.
Brilliant
Wish the show was available on DVD, it's always a fascinating watch!
TT DVDs are available on Amazon UK.
You can make your own. Just need the format and burning software. Plus some blank DVD's.
@@dinerouk True, or I can just put the vids to a flash drive/memory stick and watch them from that.
You NEVER disappoint. Those Roman were just amazing but glad we got our land back from them.
Golly, the riches of Britain never cease to amaze me.
Sound track music sets the stage !
Got to go back and dig the temple and lower range....
It's 2024 time to go back & see if there are more exquisite mosaics in that larger villa?!?
That blonde girl was a machine, she never stopped
I was thinking the same thing lol
Proper little grafter, Matt got a right result! not only digs like a navvie on a Friday afternoon but killer sexy too!
@@anthonydonachie3395 I had to rewind the scenes she in. Not to perv, but I just stopped listening when I saw her.
Very distracting!
Faye, I believe
I was worried she'd tear off her hands!
Haha just found this on yt.... So confused when I heard Baldrick's voice!!
My Sunday’s have never been the same. Mick Aston, Phil Harding and Carenza Lewis were in
at the start along with the now Sir Tony Robinson. They bought archaeology to the masses
and made people want to know about their heritage. It was a sad day when C4 decided to
drop it .
Phil Rocks. Period.
I am amazed there are so many episodes of this. The shows must have been going on for years.
286 episodes, over 20 years plus a few spin offs.
Why??
@@SECRETORDEROFTHEKNIGHTSTEMPLAR - so your brain explodes.
@@Fush1234 Hahaha 😂👍
Thank you.
John, my namesake, often doesn’t get enough credit. Always there and reliable.
So fascinating and disappointing at the same time cause, when they do such incredible discoveries, they should be aloud to dig further and do other Time Team episodes on the site!!!
I would love to see a return too video, to get the second villa, my feelings on it, is that is was an earlier villa & bathhouse & it would be great to see if that’s right.
Lovin these uploads, tar tt
John, re the potential plunge pool: “Shall I bring my cozzy?” Translation of cozzy: swimming costume, or, in more recent parlance, swimsuit.
Do you look like him?????
A new comment from 3 years later !! Great shows, makes me homesick as I lived a year in Britain .... if by some chance, a T.T. member sees this, can you put the approx year this was originally recorded ... I can roughly calculate by Tony's hairline, but it would be fun to know for sure.
they provide the season and episode number in the video title so i'd imagine you can look up the original air date on wikipedia or similar
@@tunercvrfunny they spoke from the past and to my ol man self you sound from the future, had to ask granddaughter what the Nikki thing was😂
Sorry, she says wiki
I like this one
The young blonde lady who hasn't been introduced is an absolute work horse. The kind of worker who won't stop working when there's a conversation with the home-owner going on.
that's the ones you want . . .
Also notice she's always working very close to Matt. Who knows, maybe became Mrs Matt?
I’ve been trying to figure out her name but I can’t find it. She sure was sexy as hell.
@@Richard_Jones lol Matt is married now, not to that young lady🤣
She goes at it like a demon, possibly to keep her slim figure while exposing herself to as much sunlight as possibe to attain a tan? Another conundrum thrown up by TT!
*In Tony's voice* Is There a follow up on this site? Is it something that you can go back to in the new series?
Awesome episode. I thought this was the episode where they stayed for a fourth day because the archaeology was so good and deserved more time, I’m sure that involved a mosaic floor too. Maybe my memory is playing tricks though, it was a long time ago I watched it on TV.
4 days was Coventry cathedral to my knowledge
im sure the one your thinking of is ether Turkdean or Dinnington, both ended up having 2 episodes and 1 of the two had an extra day on the 1st visit (cant remember which one)
@@peter990099 I watched both Turkdean episodes last week and both visits were for 3 days.
You're thinking of Turkdean, a site very similar to this. They revisited it because of late geophysical results just like this site.
Rich farm land looks like mostly hay fields for horses or livestock. I loved the Cotswolds. Hops houses..
Romans, temple time team. Love it. Coronavirus rewatch lol
I love this show so much! When will they bring it back?
Unfortunately, no TV company in this crazy age is going to make a show predominately presented by old/middle aged white men with a keen and expert knowledge of their subject.
@@JohnyG29 really not interested in your culture war nonsense. Please take it elsewhere
It’s back! Several new digs have been completed and the new digs are able to be viewed here on UA-cam, Time Team Official.
i love Phil
Romans always prefered fresh spring water. River water was never their first choice. In Germany, we have alot of roman aquaeducts bringing water to cities near rivers.
Smart.
It would be amazing to see that mosaic completely excavated and cleared. Romans were master mosaic artists.
I have seen a beautiful one in York museum some 15 years ago.
The three day format can be frustrating at times. I hope that another team was able to build upon the discoveries found there.
Exactly my thinking. These guys often find fascinating discoveries but three days pales in comparison to the things that a lengthy archeological dig could produce
@@BigChrisKenney , Does anybody know why there is a 3-day limit?
@@corneliawissing7950 they used to do the show at weekends. They all have day jobs mostly in universities, Phil works for wessex archeology, Stewart works for English heritage I'm not sure about the rest of them but I'm sure it's mainly universities etc. They did write proper scientific papers and articles on some of the digs and Mick wrote a few books on the digs including a text book or two.
I don't think (and I could be totally wrong) they didn't even get paid for the first couple of seasons
@@Tiger89Lilly Thank you for your reply! I am not British and I realise that during my own working life, huge chunks of interesting stuff simply passed me by (or I them). Thank you for taking the time to help me catch up!
@Cornelia Wessing, it's also money, if you listen to the team discussing the next action, they tell you that they have to pay for permits, and the digger, etc. Only being sponsored by the BBC, doesn't mean big bucks!
Tony is always the star of the show even when he plays the second banana like Baldrick.. It takes a genius to play the son of plopy.
Think he knows the show is not really about him? He is like a kid in the candy store in my mind. He is having a ball and learning. Is there a better job in the world?
Who/what is plopy?
@@StanSwan Your comment shows his acting is on target. His stated purpose is to simultaneously be the TV watcher who basically knows nothing about archaeology, and the one presenting it. The enthusiasm is genuine, as the actor himself was interested in the subject of archaeology even before the show, but drew out info like he knew nothing so the viewers could follow along.
@@nevyen149 I think he's just a PITA!
Three days is not enough time!
Could be another Turkdean (maybe not as grand), but would have been worth a return visit to understand that impress late geo-fizz.
Aww R.I.P Mick
So much land was used by the AG Ministry during WW2, I wonder how much archelogy was actually destroyed by the need to plant cereal grain fields to support the war effort. Over 19 million acres were plowed under.
so much is actually lower than a plow so is still ok...
Food was more important than some 2000 year old bricks and tiles we could of been speaking German if not for feeding and filling up our soldier's bellys but RIP to the FALLEN who died for our FREEDOM ..
Three days was never enough.
i think one can get far more consensus and agreements over a glass of beer than at a whole day long boring meeting...
Yup..Should be made law..
Bridg's Kiwi accent had been rekt haha
Have only just been aware of this video. Does anyone connceceted to the Boden programme know why Victor's Field is so called? If not, I have an hypothesis, although of a reasonably modern nature.
I like Bridgid with her jewels and nice nails digging the earth
Women are women! God bless 'em!
Great stuff Ukulele HollyBloe USA
They always poopoo the geophys but John often ends up right!
Have to wonder whether anyone investigated this site further over the years,
The Roman villas from almost two thousand years ago were better made than my house built in1949.
