There’s just something nostalgic, a reminder of a time gone by of these Tony Robinson documentaries. The excited English scholars and archeologists as they find little puzzle pieces as pleased with themselves as much as any toddler.
It’s beautiful to be reminded there are people that are just as passionate about history if not far more so than my self.
Stewart finding ancient landscape is always one of my favorite parts of this show.
You all are so inspiring! I’m from the states and just found this series on UA-cam! Fabulous! I’m now addicted!! I have English, Irish and Scottish ancestry
Stewart Ainsworth is amazing, he sees that medieval avenue to the house and points it out describing it all perfectly. All I saw was a dip in the grass and trees, everything overgrown. I thought this avenue was the most interesting thing about the whole dig.
@Sonia Hamilton - Mr Stewart and Mr Victor always strike me as the most talented people in each episode.
He should build a recreation of the Tudor mansion as the hotel. That would be so cool, it doesn’t need to actually have the extravagant materials, just the appearance of them.
Love how Dr Lipscombe's face lights up when talking Tudors ...
Susie and Raksha, I'm in love.
As her, I love everything that is related to the past, in partircular medievel period. It's a pitty that everybody in my circle of social living don't have interest, and even despise the past.
It also lit up while talking with Hektor.
Simp losers that you all are 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣..
Look up Lucy Worsley, she is a brilliant historian and a very attractive lady.
Tony Robinson has the talent to make almost any documentary exciting.
I've just discovered this Timeline Team with Tony and at first watch I didn't like it and didn't understand Tony and his ways but I'm glad I gave it a chance and I realize I love his arrogance, for lack of a better word. Everyone else just seem to work perfectly with each other and it's funny how they just work. The show is what it is because of everybody and their attitude. He's hilarious! I'm on a watching binge now! Plus, I'm learning a lot at the same time, which is wonderful. Suzanne is an added benefit! Extremely smart, passionate about her studies and knowledge, along with being extremely gorgeous!
*2 of my favorite documentary historians!!!!*
*PLEASE GIVE US MORE OF THEM & LUCY W.!!!!!!*
BlueEyed Scorpio Just as it’s now Sir Tony, it should be Dame Lucy. Better yet, Lady Lucy. Ms. Lipscombe is also wonderful.
A slash fiction in the work,,,,,
For real I clicked so fast. Didnt even read the whole title.
Tony is not a historian
Love Time Team, and love putting stuff from the show into other documentary evidence. The Rous family does indeed go back further than the Tudor period. From the period of the Hundred Years War, we have Sir William Roos, Lord John Roos and Lord Thomas Roos. Spelling aside, it is the same family.
I'm sorry but Francis reminds me so much of Fozzie Bear from the Muppets with the way he does that hilarious open mouthed, silent laugh. I love it so much 😁😂❤
Lmao, wow I've not heard Fozzie bear's name mentioned since probably the '90s. I was instantly transported!
I am surprised that the butler got away. I would think he would be easy to track down, especially if he had grabbed some of the silver on the way out. Perhaps he was tracked down and quietly disappeared.
Sad to think of all the things that burned with the house - I shudder to imagine losing all my books, my great-grandmother's rocking chair, my harps, assorted art work collected over the decades of my life, etc. Most of us have things which "valuable" or not, we treasure.
I would be the same way. My husband thinks I'm a pack rat, but he just doesn't understand the saving of family history.
I'm a simple man. I see a video with Suzannah Lipscombe and I watch it. And learn something. Whether or not that was my original motive. Seriously. She's a good teacher. That's it.
And she's amazingly attractive
Lol. A good teacher. 😉
Like to teach her a thing or two, know what I mean? Nudge, nudge, wink, wink. A nudge is as good as a wink to a blind man...

Sue will never be forgotten. Man what a good looking woman.
Am I the only one that's always expecting Phil's next words to be: "Anyone fancy a pint?"
Phil and Tony don't always find what they're looking for, but they ALWAYS find the pub.
At 8:43, Mary Tudor looks like every painting of Anne Boleyn that I’ve ever seen.
Thank you Time Team for sharing this video, much love from Tennessee!!! ☮️🤍😁
Every period has its standard of beauty and style of painting and so all the ladies of that period tend to look the same, especially when they all wore French hoods. Mary was considered very beautiful, and her mother Elizabeth of York was quite pretty in the existing portraits too. Anne Boleyn had a longer, thinner, harder look to her. I think Henry VIII went after Anne because she didn't push him to be responsible, the way Catherine of Aragon did.
Mary Tudor, ‘the French Queen’ was paler than Anne Boleyn. She had the famous Tudor strawberry blonde hair and Anne’s hair was probably dark brown or auburn. Both Mary and Anne popularized the French Hood in England. Anne was Mary’s lady in waiting for a short time in France. When Henry VIII became enamored of Anne, Mary took the side of his wife, Katherine over Anne. I’m sure there was real affection between Katherine and Mary, but I think there was also some snobbery going on about not wanting one of her previous maids becoming her queen, and maybe there was some embarrassment with how Mary and Charles Brandon married so soon after Mary’s first husband, the King of France, died. At any rate, Mary despised Anne and she died just after Anne’s coronation.
This episode has everything. A mansion with a curious back story, epic family tree scrolls being unfurled, John being excited about new geophysics gadgets, Tony teasing him about it, Phil being cheeky as ever, Francis being giddy about interesting finds, Matt and Raksha working the trenches and re-enacting old technology, Stewart dropping landscape knowledge, Paul eyeballing some pottery., Suzie delving through archives. Absolutely lovely.
Love the show but as always it leaves me wanting so much more. How on earth do you stop...there is so much more to discover.
That lump of rust on the underside of that kettle bell contains its original iron striker ball that is still fused within and it shows the position where it lay, as it last came to rest.
So impressive it would’ve given me chills to touch these bricks archeology is something
I love this show. It would be extremely interesting to take a show like this episode, and expand it. Excavate everything in the tudor site, then the rebuilding of the entire house as a historical museum, furnishings and all.
Owners of the land on the other hand allegedly HATE this show... or what people behind the scenes do
@@Atomy111 ....they don’t have to let them dig. Time Team is invited in. Owners can always so no.
@@Atomy111 Do you have a link for that?
Have you seen the people that are building a castle using period construction techniques? Very interesting.
That would be amazing!
Wow, a Time Team episode where it didn't rain!
Sadly it was raining on day 3.
This land owner seems very humble not to mention a cutie pie
Just hearing Tony Robinson's voice starts to perk my interest and my brain prepares for a rich story.
'Leave it to 'ole Phill to give geophysics team guff... Susannah really helps fill out the Time Team... Glad to see...
The U.K. has so much history. Every square foot has a potential "find" beneath the soil. I love that. Then there is the amazingly ancient architecture to ogle. I feel quite fortunate to come from a pre revolutionary war town with original structures ( our town library still holds it's Charter from King George III..it's a lovely old place)... but we have nothing on the U.K.
Wish the States had this much history to find.
@@mercedes523 the USA would have more to find if they listened to or respected the natives of the land they're on. the land goes way back beyond it being colonized, but the way that the original pilgrims treated the natives means we may never know what they do.
@Jerseydevil - The research you wish for seems to cover the European invasion only. People were living in North America for least 22,000 years, as footprints in White Sands National Park, New Mexico, prove. There are large mounds built within the borders of the USA along with cities and even cliff dwellings carved into living rock. Even the Mayans built within the USA.
The USA is much larger than Great Britain and so is more spread out. It seems like you can't put a shovel into the ground there without finding ancient archeology. The USA requires more seeking and the will of the people isn't as keen as in the UK where important sites fall under the protection of their National Heritage. I live in the Hudson River Valley. For example, there are caves between Goshen and Florida (NY) where people lived at least toward the end of the last Ice Age and left artifacts to prove it.
@@MossyMozart Yeah, I know, I've been to Cahokia, and there is the Anasazi ruins ,the serpent in NH, etc,.Oddly enough, though I am fascinated with Britain's history, They have castles, and Abbey ruins from the Reformation, Viking hoards ,etc. Oddly enough ,I am indigenous. Grass is always greener I guess 🙂
Now we need Ruth Peter Tom and Alex to rebuild it :D
They should rebuild Nonsuch palace.
Absolutely LOVE Tony. I could listen to him recite the bloody phone book.
@Flygirl fly - Not all of us do. Many of us watch "Time Team" IN SPITE of Mr Tony.
Stoked to see this - LOVE me some Time Team!! *waves frantically to Tony and Phil and and and*
I love these two! I would watch them talk about anything! My boyfriend teases me Im so boring I would watch documentaries on the history of basket weaving 😂 I was like that sounds interesting...
It would be interesting, actually... And yes, most people find me to be either dull or weird, or both 😂
Its takes all kinds i guess. Lol
You need a different boyfriend. If he doesn’t find this stuff utterly fascinating then he’s not deep enough for you!
Special interests in history are totally awesome and valid :) watch whatever you want and don't let anyone bug you about it! (They are also compelling hosts too, I agree.)
Paul Blinkhorn is simply amazing....so knowledgable.
The people on this show are amazing. I can’t even begin to imagine how exciting it would be to walk where Charles Brandon did.
Amazing. Pole lathes were in use in North America right up until the 1850s. had no idea they went back that far.
When I was in the SC, someone built one of those lathes. It was extraordinary to see and use.
Best addition to time team, Dr Lipscomb
So sad they only had 3 days. It would be wonderful if they could discover it all.
that is their motto for every dig. "We have only three days". :)
Four Days
It must depends whether the current owner wish to have it all discovered.
It’s unfortunately the format, probably for budgetary purposes on the show’s end, but I can’t help but believe the current owners are offered some continued archeology support by others if the discovery draws the attention of other institutes or individuals, who either can be paid or are willing to do it at their own expense.
I am absolutely addicted to this show. It is fun and educational.
Great documentary. It's so funny to see how geeked out they get when they discover anything. Suzannah certainly enhances the presentation. Wow.
I can't imagine everything you could find just digging or plowing a field in the uk. They have such a vast history. I find it so exciting, especially early medieval history
I've been waiting for this collab my whole youtube watching life ♥️
Me too!!
Tony AND Suzannah??!?! YES!!!
Very nice. Enjoyed it immensely.
What can I say about this documentaire other than 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕 loved it, THX you guys 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🙏🙏🙏
This excellent series or archaeological digs makes me wish I'd headed in that direction as a career years and years ago. Oh well... We need more years per lifetime. ;)
all legends you got Phil harding and tony robinson and suzzannah lipscombe and francis. these people are #GODS especially PHIL!
Time Team, Season 20, Episode 4, according to IMDB.
Thank you for your research.
I separate Time Time between Mick and no Mick. I liked Mick.
Good to know! Thanks. 😊
When I visited the Tower of London, I stood long moments touching the old roman wall. To actually touch and see a bit of history, is amazing.
Omg I love Suzannah
Susannah is such a great teacher
You mean there was a time when thousands of people could gather together... in the same place... at the same time???
👏😂
More often than not humans do actually do this. I even heard about this one time long ago in the early springtime- thousands of people went to watch a parade in Philadelphia. They had fun that day.
The Olden Days!
The second wave is coming. It is inevitable. Those who refuse to learn from history will be forced to repeat it. Sadly, those of us that did learned are forced to repeat it with the willfully ignorant.
The Spanish Flu swept through the US in the spring of 1918, but by summer it seemed to be over. In early fall, a second wave of cases began to turn up.
On September 28, 200,000 people packed themselves into a 2-mile stretch of Broad Street to watch another parade. The first flu cases showed up two days later. A day after that, flu patients filled EVERY bed in EVERY hospital in Philadelphia. By the end of the week, 2,600 people had died.
Meanwhile, in St. Louis, where the parade had been cancelled, only about 700 people died of the flu.
Sturgis bike ralley usually has 350k to 500k. Schools open all over. Anti maskers all over. We're looking at way way worse than. Philly 1918.
*Suzannah Lipscombe* love her hair😅
Simply fascinating.
Call me a lush for tudors but this makes me want to see the place rebuilt.
One of the best. Thank you. Loved it.
This was very interesting and fun to watch! Just amazing.
Absolutely dreadful to think that the Aussie has got permission to put some apartments and a hotel on the site.
Should never have been allowed.
Well I think he has the right, as his father is the baron of this property, and he is over seeing the estate for his dad, no doubt this lad will be the heir to the title when his father passes.
Why?? The house has been gone for over 200 years. I get so tired of veneration of estates of the rich. No family these can keep those estates up, unless they can monetize. The days of being able to hire 100s servants to keep the place functioning are long gone. Why shouldn’t regular people be able to live in that land?
@@feral_girl lol no doubt they can if they have the finance to buy the land first, if you have the readies you can buy what ever you like.
Awesome bit of Tudor history!💖💖💖
I’ve been trying for a week now to watch this documentary but every time I put it on I fall asleep. It’s not even that it’s boring, what I have been able to watch has been super interesting. But I just can’t make it through the whole thing. Husband came home to me passed out on the couch sitting straight up the other night lol.
I watch Time Team right before bed. It's not boring at all, and I'm English and love the bantering and teasing. Nobody gets defensive, it's calming, it's easy to watch, Tony can make the most boring thing sound fascinating, and it all just calms me down. I always fall asleep easily afterwards, and sometimes in the middle. Love it.
This was fantastic! I just love how you brought me to the dig & I was as excited as the team with every discovery unearthed.
I've just watched this, and I'm curious as to whether it's being restored, in part! I would certainly uncover the foundation, and wall.
34:00 LMAO, seeing "Reddit" on a centuries-old inscription is throwing me, I had no idea it's a real Latin word :D
LOL! When I studied Latin in high school, the very first sentence we learned was "Vestis virum reddit", which means "Clothes make the man". ("Reddit" is the verb, meaning "make".)
I love time team! ❤️ Tony and Phil and John and all others!
Plot twist: it’s really blackadder’s mansion and bauldrick’s descendants are finally getting revenge
Blackadder's young descendent needs the help of Baldrick's descendent to save the estate!
@@emsnewssupkis6453 omg yes! genius! they always had cunning plans ;P
@@kiki0girlify You wouldn't recognize a cunning plan if it painted itself purple and danced naked on a harpsichord singing cunning plans are here again!
I laughed out loud and scared my cats.
Rumour has it we know the name of the butler who set the whole mansion ablaze! It must have been Edmund Blackadder, the butler of prince George in the late 18th century. To Tony this endeavour must have been a trip down memory lane!
Love watching a good *Tony Robinson* documentary.
Same! Despite him always seeming the most antagonistic of the bunch.
Suzanna's happy face may partly be from the very handsome owner. She already has the face of an angel. They look great together
I agree...
I saw that look
Yes, 😂😂 I saw in her expression an attempt to conceal how attractive she found the owner… And I’m sure the feeling was mutual! I sense some chemistry there…
Lol don't know whether the good doctors husband would agree with you all pairing the missus off to Hector🤣🤣🤣
I've made Wassail before, good stuff, but unless it is all drunk up right off, you'd be better off straining out the whole spices in it, as it gets rather cloying if it steeps a few days.
One of my favorite archeologists, Francis Prior. But I do miss Mick.
I wish they would listen to Stuart without giving him much trouble. He always finds the best places yet they constantly arguing with him.
Can you imagine the ecstasy of a Tony, Suzanne, Lucy, or Dan collaboration with Ken Burns?
Hektor is hot. And I loved the finds the Time Team dug up. The terra cotta Tudor Rose, the belt ornament, the warped glass. Very cool
so good thank you
Oh my 2 favorite people !
LOVE Suzannah Lipscomb!!!!!
Imagine being born into that family, and never having to worry where your next meal is coming from, for hundreds of years continually.
What i would give!
It only sounds good on the surface-
Yet even the key words used in the intro give lie to that easy safe life narrative:
powerful influential in England's history invariable means politically and often fiscally and royally entangled, and thus taking huge risks in various competing interests and royal Houses.
Not to mention the harrowing flips of which religion made you a saint or a heretic- thus running a grave danger of being called traitor and being executed and all lost to the Crown. Probably repeatedly.
And being nearly forced to make massive "loans" or gifts multiple times a generation that would never ever be repaid to spendthrift and extravagant Kings.
And then the pillaging of inheritances by those supposedly caring for minor heirs, and spendthrift parents who while not being jailable as ton could most certainly bankrupt and put in massive debt the estate inherited.
You forget the huge responsibility… Maintaining an estate like that is a gigantic undertaking, so many complicated aspects to it. And you could so easily lose it by making bad decisions, or being too free with your spending. This is why so many of these estates got sold off piecemeal, because those who inherited them spent the money irresponsibly and could no longer afford the upkeep. They lost their inheritance because they weren’t responsible enough! You have to be savvy in business and finance to keep these estates running and in the family. You don’t just get to sit back and enjoy the wealth, that’s so far from the truth it’s not even funny.
@@hideyourloveaway128 i am extremely aware of all of what you said and i agree. That being said, personal experience has taught me to also be aware of just how hungry a person can be, no matter how many hours they work because the cost of renting even a one bedroom apartment takes working two jobs and still having to pinch pennies to eat every day. I'm ridiculously frugal and even when i have extra money, i save as much of it as i can. My car is 20 years old, my laptop is 12 years old, i haven't bought new clothes in 10 years except for 2 pairs of shoes. The one nice thing i have is my phone, which i borrowed money to get and paid back little by little. I had to have it for work and had to invest. I don't want or need a lot of fancy material things to have a good life, but to not even have to ever worry about being able to pay bills and eat food would be amazing.
@@sarahwithanhyouheathen3210 hi sarah with an h, i m in canada. I dont have money worries. I can understand worrying/fretting about upkeep but my real estate is extremely humble. 2 houses, both built by me. If your post is honest thats no way to live at my age. I m 61 and i made many mistakes in life but somehow have come out smelling like a rose. I m currently a big tine team fan. Wish you well

agree, have watched many, but these are in higher quality.
@@samanthamaynard4447
The content is more important than the quality.
7:19 minutes before Dr Suzannah makes her appearance... that could be earlier... much earlier !
Wow.. That many minutes in!? Geez lol
@Phil McCrevice She is so sexy and gorgeous, it doesn't take away anything from her beauty. And she is brilliant. I like it!
@Phil McCrevice I rather think you're the one evincing ridiculousness.
@ Nah, it makes those who comment on it bigoted asshats.
@Phil McCrevice 😂 you say something about her nose ring in every comment that brings up this Dr Susannah.
It just jumped up at me. Tony was Baldrick in Black Adder.
Raksha is my FAVE
Sometimes when i watch time team, i suddenly remember Tony was in black adder
Thank you.
I wish Lucy had made an appearance on Time Team
Kentucky 1950 Lucy worsley?
I love Ancestry .. please keep it up ♥️
It misspelled “mysteries” in the title! Thank you!
Tony and Dr. Lipscombe need to have their own history show! Tony’s cocky yet lovable Gordon Ramsey persona coupled with the Doctor’s posh and happiness makes for great television.
Now this is a proper educational documentary. Riveting, so interesting.
Oh no!!...................................We have got the grumpy and arguemenative Phil, can we have the happy and likeable one please?
‘We saw it 2 hours ago’ 😂 quick wit or a great script
That was wit, they have yanked each others chain the same way for 20 years at that point. Writers come and go and with them comes and goes their own style which says since it was the same kind of joking with each other it wasn't written into a script. Then to further the point they do the same today when together at a talk when they write their own speeches for the talk.
Suzanne is literally the only person that looks good with a nose piercing ❤❤❤❤🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘👌
I majored in history and I have a nose ring. She's my personal hero
Omg I love all of these people!!!!! 💕💕💕💕💕
Dr Lipscomb made one mistake. I'm a medievalist, with 30 years experience. And I've never found any evidence for loose rushes (much less grass or weeds) strewn on floors. However, we do have visual evidence of rush _matting_. Much cleaner, easier to clear and store for dancing, and nicer to sleep on if that was your lot.
I'm a simple woman I see Suzannah Lipscomb, I click

She needs to marry that young Baron!
Suzannah 😍
32:24 Or, you found the china plates, vases, etc. of the family heirloom or the personal collection of the owner.
Dr. Suzanna Lipscomb is amazingly beautiful
She is brilliant as well as lovely...my dream future daughter in law.
@@wanagi006 lol, best you talk to her old man, remember this is a old episode.
@@katerinakemp5701 LOL I can dream
I'm a decedent of the Tudors so this is very interesting to me.
Could you share a rough family tree or something, if you don't mind? It sounds really interesting.
My daughter is actually right now working on adding further generations onto our family tree. When she has it completed I most definitely will share it.
What a shame for all those historic family treasures lost in the house fire.
Just One question...WHY ONLY 3 days to investigate? Does it add to the frantic nature of discovery???
I clicked in to get a better look at Suzannah's hair. Very pretty.
Tony (Gonzo) Robinson and Suzannah Lipscombe Investigate An Old Tudor Mansion | Time Team | Timeline
Tony also known as The Great Gonzo and Gonzo the Great
Just curious. Do the coins discovered belong to the Rous family as owners of the land, or do they belong to the Queen as cultural antiquities?
Over ten in a single find belongs to the state.
Why is there a misspelling in the title? It should be “mysteries”! I saw another title where they misspelled “unbelievable”! Please, stop making these gaffes! I love the English language! Thank you!
