Tony wasn't doing the shouting, it was loud mouthed, Phil. I didn't find it funny, I used to live with a bully who acted exactly like Phil. Don't let the peons talk, just yell over them. Pathetic.
Rumor has it Mick was asked early on, by an assistant producer, if he owned a 'distinctive' jumper. Just to give him "a look." I thought the fly away hair would be enough.
@@rodritchison1995 Speaking as a hand knitter, I'm very glad that he adopted the sloppy hand-knits. They may be not the best quality but it's so cool to see hand made objects being worn on national tv

Right! I use them because I have problems understanding between the accents and poor sound capture, but apparently the "cc'er" often doesn't do much better. I've read some real zingers that so poison my mind I can't think of any more reasonable thing that would've been said.
Hey, Reijer. This episode is one of my favorites to watch again at least once a year. Your channel helped rescue me from cabin fever after I was seriously injured in April 2016. I watched every video from TT's 20 year history. I still prefer your channel over all others. God bless you. Hugs, Linda Lee
Me too. Have it on a HD.Watched it when I lived and taught in Doha for four years (a great place if you're well paid but cant go outside for 6 mos of the yr)
I would love to know once Time team left, whether or not it was all filled back in or if the couple kept investigating. I would of made a see thru patio over the whole thing once finished so all could see.
This is the third Time Team I've seen in this region. Together with Piercebridge and Ulnaby all within 20 kilometers of eachother. They should dig a trench over that whole area ^____^.
This property is a magnificent example of the evolution of lords housing from purely military to purely ornamental status symbols between 1066 and 1550.
Love this series. Tony is always so totally annoying, fussing all the time, and never working!! LOL Love Phil and Stewart. This show was an awesome find for me. Back to some more Time Team. Phenomenal wedding present by the way. I've got to see if Tony ever gets his hands dirty, watched four, and so far, nope!!!!
Tony always shoots the first scene, sets the mood for the Dig, explains things for the armchair archaeologist watching the program, his interplay with the archaeologists adds to our entertainment. I'd say he works pretty damn hard. Especially all that running around and standing around in the rain and cold.
He's a BBC producer he is the authority on everything yet knows nothing about what they're making the documentary about! In other words he's the typical acedemic only difference is he used to be a actor!
No offense meant to anyone, but one thing I've noticed is that they seem to not talk to the historians much. They said, "they seem to have gotten better land further south and not done much with this site." Is it possible that the reason they have such huge walls/foundations is that they started to build on the site (which I understand can take decades to complete a large structure) and then acquired Haverah Park which they stated was several days travel south of this site, decided this one was too much trouble to bother with as they now had a better place to spend their money and just stopped work on Scargill "Castle"? I mean it makes more sense to me than going to the expense and difficulty of building twice in the Tudor period on what seems to be an inferior and less desirable property to live when they have one fit for a King. What do you think?
mishap00 Basically I think the folks got scammed and or didn't do proper research and purchased the wrong Scargill. Very little indication of anything but Tudor and a completely fake guard house .. made for living quarters.
I'm surprised that the owners hadn't already dug up all the grass on their property to see what was underneath. After all, you wouldn't think the restoration of the tower would take ten years.
And with all due respect, I was a little surprised that a Durham County Archaeologist appeared not to recognise the difference(s) between a castle and a manor house
Stewart had a theory about the site being medieval, not a definite answer. It would still need archaeological evidence to back it up, which only came up at the end of the third day.
I don’t like the way that Stewart does archaeology. That’s not archaeology at all. And that’s not the archaeology that I practice. He makes hypothesizes that there is something but without the evidence, we can’t back it up. He always does this and it always drives me insane.
Easy to see that there are 2 Scargills (and Mick was right from the start of the vid!), and that the couple were fd by a fake statement of the property and its history. The real 1300s-1500s Scargill "castle" is further to the south in the mention of West Riding. This might be the 1000-1300s origins of the Scargills (or original North Riding cum Durham), and kept as their rural retreat, but not worthy of a king's visit.
If the original owner and the person who sold them the property used this information as a selling point and knew that it was fake then Niall could surely sue them for fraud.
@@markclemente1503 Problem would be proving they knew it was untrue, for all we know they thought it was true, and the people before them, and the people before them, something like that could just be a simple mistake made 200+ years ago that no one until now caught onto.
What is the Time Team story? Whose idea, who gathered the teams etc? What are they doing now? Wikipedia is incomplete and very disappointing. I hope someone completes it someday with current info. How did Prof Mick die?
It was the concept of Mick and producer Tim Taylor. They had previously worked on "Time Signs" etc. Mick met Tony at one of the intro courses he did on archaeology. Tony had had previously performed and written various period comedies e.g. Black Adder and Maid Marion and her Merry Men. Most of the rest are from an organisation called Wessex Archaeology.
scarletfluerr nope. That doesn’t make them doctors. They only received an honorary degree but that means nothing for marketing yourself in the field. An honorary degree is typically just given to someone who has contributed greatly to that specific field. An honorary doctorate just means that they’ve done amazing things for archaeology and showing the entire world what archaeology is about. Time team allowed more people to come to archaeology in the 1990s and 2000s. Now that the show ended, the UK is actually having a shortage of archaeologists (could potentially be caused by the cancellation of the show). That’s why they received their honorary degrees though. Let’s not muddle the titles of those who have a PhD or want to get a PhD (like myself in archaeology) and just say anyone can be called “doctor.”
I think it's hysterical that Tony always comes across like he's in the trenches with the team when really all he does as he run around and criticize what they do. I love it when Mick, Francis, and Phil put him in his place.
That's his job, he is a presenter. When he criticizes and gets told the facts that's a valid way of presenting just like stating what it is and getting confirmed is a valid way of presenting.
I think that’s probable as to why the land stopped being used. The medieval warm period was from the 10th-13th century. So it’s possible they didn’t know how the crops would yield when they tried settling there around the 12th century or so. It really all depends on when they got there and tried to start building. If it was winter then they definitely wouldn’t have known. If it was summer it’s possible they didn’t know YET until the first crops started growing.
so gotta love stuart - he's like the geek that we all need in our life - he's so enthusiastic and so funny and quite often so wrong - every group of friends needs a 'stuart'
@@thomaspatton4401 lol, I don't think the Danes bothered with niceties like invitations and reservations. They were the original party crashers. Of course, they did also take a liking to Scottish and Welsh lands and ladies, so it all kinda worked out in the end.
***** Depends which university, which country and if you have ten year. They don't get rich off of it, but what I meant when I made the comment was that in comparison to an archeologist who survives on grant money for digs alone.
Celto Loco I do know several people who are profs at university and they do very well in the paycheque dept simply because they've been at it for years, head up their depts, publish etc.. I remember when they were starting out and poor, but they got there over time. It's what they love. I know that you mean about making less for love though. I've been a corporate person for years, but just got bored with it and am in the process of selling my company. I went back to art school for graphic design and photography, and now will do what I love. It's funny really because my brother did the same thing; was a scientist with his own corporation, finally got bored with it, sold the company and went to art school for fun and is now a painter. Art in any form, is a very peaceful state of being.
Medieval warfare included pouring molten lead over the walls at attackers below. Probably a soldier who got dowsed in lead and took a week to die from injuries.
The Medieval ashes in the Tudor fireplace was the clincher. the Medieval pond might have been from a Medieval bomb dropped from an Medieval bomber during a Medieval WWII attack. the medieval grounds with the medieval walls re showing by the medieval FIS survey were, well, Medieval.
Since all broken pottery, glassware and similar artefacts end up today miles away from their origins, in municipal rubbish dumps, how are archaeologist going to work in the distant future when looking at our present day world? Or is it believed that all knowledge and history of people will be recorded so no need for any of this exploration? In the digital age, the nature of records may well be very ephemeral - temporary in the extreme.
Maybe we're destined to destroy ourselves and there won't be anyone to research our archeology... 😁 Though more likely they will research and see that garbage is moved around.
Yup - I can imagine them digging up a city rubbish dump and coming to the conclusion that "these people used to live really close together, and they made amazing amounts of rubbish! No doubt of some religious significance"
Have none of you heard of a midden? Humans have made rubbish heaps since our beginning. Roads, building foundations, utility service lines, and our excessive use of plastics will leave plenty, by way of archaeological record. That's ignoring the fact that not all rubbish ends up in a landfill.
haha! The Time Team really stretched this one for the owners......maybe they found a Medieval hut with some pots, but not a castle....They are going to have to take down the sign "The King Slept Here".
I still use the word barmpot to mean an idiot, I'm from the North of England originally. Barm is also the head of a pint of beer. Even southerners use the phrase barmy, as in the barmy army of English cricket supporters who follow the national team around the world. Nice to think Barmkin was the protection behind which we could hold our beer and stop the Scots getting their hands on it.
@@markclemente1503 Were you aware that *Tony* is actually an experienced amateur archæologist which is how he met *Mick* way before *TT?* Not having a pop, just informing you.
He said it might have been a pond. I guess it might've fallen in and died and was too difficult to remove... Although that suggests disease issues subsequently...
Perhaps it was several days dead and rotting. Push it in a hole and shovel in the dirt. Or maybe it was butchered right there and the remains buried. Or maybe it was rustled by Scots raiders, butchered and the skeleton left.
The problem for them is that the property has been scheduled which makes it a historically preserved site. To do anything on the property requires special permission from the government which can be difficult to obtain and full of limitations.
Pseudo-Science bent horrifically towards so-called entertainment. Pseudo-Comic relief by the guy with the filthy hat; sorry, but he is not funny at all. Three days to perform archaeology? Give me a break. Rare real results, mostly just speculation. If I hear the talking heads say "Geo-Fizz" one more time, I will scream. Repetitive music. Goodbye, Time Team. Never Again.
Was so enjoying this and then lo and behold 6 mins in and that freaking woman had to appear. Why??? She has got to be the biggest waste of space ever on a tv show and more to the point, knows nothing!! Take away the experts who she does nothing but nod at constantly and her written script and she's still just the secretary she always was. Jeez, I can't stand that woman.
She's a Saxon specialist, so naturally would defer to others whose speciality is more à propos for digs concerning other eras. But what's your problem? Why the disdainful venom so disproportionate for what cannot be called a purposeful offense? Psychologists have observed (male ones) that many men seem to have difficulty 'hearing' what female voices say. It just doesn't register, as if the sound were cut off between the ear and the brain. Some of them will get a message about something of particular interest to them (sports scores, for example) but not as perfectly as from a male voice. I haven't seen any explanation for this phenomenon. Could this phenomenon apply to you?
Depending on what business the King needed to transact in these five locations, he wouldn’t necessarily have needed to stay overnight in each location. He might have overnighted in only two or three locations, so could have sent his wardrobe etc on ahead while he diverted to a smaller place that might not have had the facilities to receive him, handed out justice, collected taxes, ensured his place-holders were still loyal and running things his way, and then taken a brisk ride with his guards and officers to whatever castle was prepared to provide banquet fare worthy of the king.
HH, your challenge tour is really connecting to the troops in battle with this video. You dig a dump and find the plate Hans ate dinner on then you grab Heinrich wine bottle.

It took me a while to realize they weren't saying Carrot Cake but Carucate.
I thought later they were on about a place to hold the animals was a barm cake.

Ha! I waited the entire episode to find out what "pre-cow" in the comments meant. Too funny
This is the third Time Team I've seen in this region. Together with Piercebridge and Ulnaby all within 20 kilometers of eachother. They should dig a trench over that whole area ^____^.
That'd be a hell of a trench!
26:42 perhaps the best animation ever, of Rex and his pneumatic horsie.
Pre-cow pottery makes all the difference.
last time i dug in my back yard all i found was an old beer can and the bones of a dead cat,,,,lol, nice video
Is Helen wearing a Tom Baker era scarf? Maybe she is a Time Lord for Time Team!
The Time Team ARE the real time lords! As are all archaeologists!
She needs a bag of jelly babies to go with the scarf.
"-Because cows represented wealth."
"-erm uh and food."
lol
You have to have the wealth to buy the cow in the first place. Way to miss the point.
These earlier season's are so much better than the dumbed down later (S10 +) season's.

I think that’s probable as to why the land stopped being used. The medieval warm period was from the 10th-13th century.

the medieval grounds with the medieval walls re showing by the medieval FIS survey were, well, Medieval.
a quick search shows that durham was not bombed during ww2.
Since all broken pottery, glassware and similar artefacts end up today miles away from their origins, in municipal rubbish dumps, how are archaeologist going to work in the distant future when looking at our present day world?
Or is it believed that all knowledge and history of people will be recorded so no need for any of this exploration? In the digital age, the nature of records may well be very ephemeral - temporary in the extreme.
Maybe we're destined to destroy ourselves and there won't be anyone to research our archeology... 😁
Though more likely they will research and see that garbage is moved around.
Yup - I can imagine them digging up a city rubbish dump and coming to the conclusion that "these people used to live really close together, and they made amazing amounts of rubbish! No doubt of some religious significance"
Have none of you heard of a midden? Humans have made rubbish heaps since our beginning. Roads, building foundations, utility service lines, and our excessive use of plastics will leave plenty, by way of archaeological record. That's ignoring the fact that not all rubbish ends up in a landfill.
One is a nylon dog bone.
must be hard to live in a castle if you are not disgustingly rich.
Top show, but no sign of the Weddoes though
Why did Carenza leave Time Team. She gave Mick such doe eyes in the early series.
There was one episode where they were trying to make it look like she was mooning over Phil.
haha! The Time Team really stretched this one for the owners......maybe they found a Medieval hut with some pots, but not a castle....They are going to have to take down the sign "The King Slept Here".

I can't get over how they can't say barbican properly lol!
I still use the word barmpot to mean an idiot, I'm from the North of England originally. Barm is also the head of a pint of beer. Even southerners use the phrase barmy, as in the barmy army of English cricket supporters who follow the national team around the world. Nice to think Barmkin was the protection behind which we could hold our beer and stop the Scots getting their hands on it.
Did Tony even know what end of a shovel is what? Never saw him use one in the whole 20 year series. hahaha
That’s not his job. Personally I don’t want someone not trained in excavating...this is coming from an archaeologist.

Were you aware that *Tony* is actually an experienced amateur archæologist which is how he met *Mick* way before *TT?* Not having a pop, just informing you.
He tried to use a trowel once and got yelled at to get out of the trench.
So when life was hard and resources precious, they buried a whole cow??
He said it might have been a pond. I guess it might've fallen in and died and was too difficult to remove... Although that suggests disease issues subsequently...
Maybe it was a diseased cow.
Perhaps it was several days dead and rotting. Push it in a hole and shovel in the dirt. Or maybe it was butchered right there and the remains buried. Or maybe it was rustled by Scots raiders, butchered and the skeleton left.
So, they love archeology, they breathe archeology but they couldn't pick up a spade and investigate their own property?
The problem for them is that the property has been scheduled which makes it a historically preserved site. To do anything on the property requires special permission from the government which can be difficult to obtain and full of limitations.
And as they explained, they had to restore it not only for aesthetics, but for safety reasons as well. That took ten years. so they've done well.
Celto Loco
LOL
Eliniël They did. Then they called for help, from the .... TIME TEAM!
Idiot.
I can't believe that MONSTER Tony is shouting at that, frankly , delectible ,dewy , really really attractive young Faye. What a jerk!
Truly. Bad producers that tell him to shout at people.
I volunteer to comfort her
poop
Where's the Benny Hill music for Faye and the increasing number of Bimbos and white teeth that eventually ruined TT
So a woman can't be pretty and smart? Only ugly women can get degrees in archeology? Tiny penis much?
Twat
And yet it still looks like a pile of shite!
So do you.
Pseudo-Science bent horrifically towards so-called entertainment. Pseudo-Comic relief by the guy with the filthy hat; sorry, but he is not funny at all. Three days to perform archaeology? Give me a break. Rare real results, mostly just speculation. If I hear the talking heads say "Geo-Fizz" one more time, I will scream. Repetitive music. Goodbye, Time Team. Never Again.
Matthew Roberts, bye bye.
Who the fuck is this clown?
Was so enjoying this and then lo and behold 6 mins in and that freaking woman had to appear. Why??? She has got to be the biggest waste of space ever on a tv show and more to the point, knows nothing!! Take away the experts who she does nothing but nod at constantly and her written script and she's still just the secretary she always was. Jeez, I can't stand that woman.
She's a Saxon specialist, so naturally would defer to others whose speciality is more à propos for digs concerning other eras. But what's your problem? Why the disdainful venom so disproportionate for what cannot be called a purposeful offense? Psychologists have observed (male ones) that many men seem to have difficulty 'hearing' what female voices say. It just doesn't register, as if the sound were cut off between the ear and the brain. Some of them will get a message about something of particular interest to them (sports scores, for example) but not as perfectly as from a male voice. I haven't seen any explanation for this phenomenon. Could this phenomenon apply to you?
what a horrible person you are
Envy,pure envy

And darling? WE can't stand you! Be grateful we don't have to choose...
I found an old bottle of lotion 🧴 in my back woods. Can’t wait to get it appraised.
Depending on what business the King needed to transact in these five locations, he wouldn’t necessarily have needed to stay overnight in each location. He might have overnighted in only two or three locations, so could have sent his wardrobe etc on ahead while he diverted to a smaller place that might not have had the facilities to receive him, handed out justice, collected taxes, ensured his place-holders were still loyal and running things his way, and then taken a brisk ride with his guards and officers to whatever castle was prepared to provide banquet fare worthy of the king.
HH, your challenge tour is really connecting to the troops in battle with this video. You dig a dump and find the plate Hans ate dinner on then you grab Heinrich wine bottle.
And get stabbed I guess?
