- This programme sees Time Team travelling north and back in time to the Roman period.
The Yorkshire town of Castleford, though home to a successful rugby team, has fallen on hard times. The people of the town are eager to establish a new museum to display their heritage and Time Team is keen to help.
Castleford is situated on a strategically important river crossing and excavations carried out previously in the area suggest there could be important Roman remains here. What can the Team uncover in the three days available?
Time Team has been a beacon of light in these dark times we are in. Thank you for such a wonderful show!
Yes indeed! I found Time Team a few months back and have become so fascinated; such a wonderful distraction!! I hope that you and yours are well! ~xx
Mick's colorful hats, scarves, and jumpers always make me smile. Rest in Peace, dear fellow.
And to think, it was all a put on for the cameras...and sheep like you sucked it down.
Time Team has given me a reason to want to go on in this crazy horrible world!!! I really couldn't take another bullshit reality show. Thank you to the awesome man that worked so hard putting them out on UA-cam. Bless you sir😊
Guy de la Bedoyere makes even the most mundane Roman facts sound so interesting . A master at Roman story telling ! I could listen to him read the phone book !
After watching him after a few episodes, I agree.
And has a profile quite suitable for a Roman coin.
Rochelle Rubin
Not bad to look at either!
He has a UA-cam channel! Just put in his name and you’ll find it. 😁
Phil’s persistence really made things happen. It has been proven from few of the past episodes. It’s seems like he see through walls and gravels! 👍🏻
In all the episodes I've commented on I have sorely skipped tipping the hat to Victor. His "eye" for archeology and his supreme ability to translate that to a sketch really brings the past to life. When watching local townspeople looking at one of Victor's renderings, it's easy to see them "drawn in" to his vision (pardon the pun) and their amazement as well....
RIP Victor Ambrus. There's a tribute to him in the channel "time team official"
@@joshschneider9766 Thanks Mate
Thanks for posting these, it is very much appreciated!
16: 17 - "...my Roman road..." Tony is so funny. He is a great presenter. Whenever I start one of these episodes, I look for Mick. He was so endearing and patient. Vic is such a great artist. I look for him too. Phil is a great at what he does also-very tenacious. He does like his long trenches. It's great seeing how their knowledge improves over the years.
Time team makes me want to go back to school to become an archeologist. I love these guys.
Do it!!!!
it's been three years since mick died. still makes me very sad
Ten years as of today. The man’s still missed dearly
The Roman road is visible here:
53.730293ºN,1.355922ºW
in the football pitches as a parch mark that follows the same course of the road seen to the north and south. It appears they were boring holes a little to the west of the roadway.
Trench two is here:
53.726587ºN, 1.355642ºW
And trench one is here:
53.724439ºN, 1.355469ºW
Input like yours is why I love Comments.
The death of Mick and Victor still chokes me up.
Robin as well
This episode has got some great random things happening in the backgrounds and foregrounds. Like:
30:25 - longest cigarette drag ever
40:07 - digger dancing
45:25 - digger whose friend had muddy hands :)
muddy hand prints are gold
That's how you smoke a joint, not a cigarette, lols.
I love this show but love the background happenings even more so funny
Emily Handler lady, you are a amazing observer.. 👏🏻 from 🇸🇪
LOL
I am amazed at how many people have time to watch the planing and the scraping of dirt. Maybe they would hope for an exciting find?
I want to be on Tv, screw the digging lol
We aren't watching the dirt. We are watching some fine and intelligent people working together to increase our knowledge of human history.
Tony gives us the lowdown on the relative importance of archaeology: "But have we got enough evidence to dig up someone's football pitch?"
I love the balance lol
The look on the guys face at 22:50 when its mentioned his prized vase may have come from a Roman grave yard is priceless
Thx for posting this great episode
"Ladies and gentlemen, this man is about to stick a borehole through his anomaly."
Tony reaches a new peak of gracious eloquence.
Shush Tony! There are children present.
Funny way to put it for sure.
It is interesting that in England something Victorian is considered too recent to bother with, while in America something from the 1800s is considered too ancient to touch!
I forget witch episode, but they even complained about earlier archeologists mucking up the archeology, they think because to them it was just recent rubbish. I thought that was much like the Victorian archeology is to them now. In a few hundred years or less, archeologists in the future will likely complain about Time Team, lols.
It's not that the 1800s are too ancient it's just too old to be of interest unless it has a personality to it!
That is because Britains history spans longer than America’s. America starts with colonisations and in 1776 with the war of independence. The Vicktorians did right some historic wrongs. Fx. Was the skeletons in the Church of Saint Peter ad Vincula, re interred with their proper titles. Queen Anne Boleyn was buried After her execution as plain Anne Boleyn. Queen Victoria commanded that Anne Boleyn had been a Queen consort and Queen of Britain, ergo must she be re interred as Queen of Britain. No matter what historic files Said. But yeah early history seekers were greedy for Fame and riches. We need to keep in mind that every job was in an infancy at one time and another. Same is with archoelogy.
That funny considering they helped dig up ww2 stuff.
Greg B remember when the guide pointed out a tree at Arlington cemetery saying it was more than a hundred years old. Here in Sweden in 2008 they found “The world's oldest recorded tree is a 9,550 year old spruce in the Dalarna province of Sweden. The spruce tree has shown to be a tenacious survivor that has endured by growing between erect trees and smaller bushes in pace with the dramatic climate changes over time”.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, this man is about to stick a borehole through his anomaly." well said XD
Remember kids; when you just toss your beer bottles willy nilly, you are creating perplexing questions for archeologists of the future.
A Greene King bottle.... must have been a royal palace.
Gotta give Guy mad respect
I love this show so much. More please!
I have just watched a little of Time Signs. Time Team is far superior and more engaging. Guy is one of those talkers I could listen to for hours. In a way Blackadder must have helped out in some way to bring the audience over.
*Time Signs* was rather earlier than *Time Team* and was never in competition with it.
Seeing Baldric on a show got me to watch an then watch more 😊
BRITISH HAVE THE BEST TV SHOWS
Love the back of Kerry's flannel shirt at 45:35..a handprint... don't believe it's an artifact..
Does Castleford now have a museum dedicated to their archaeological finds, including Time Team's? It's been about twenty years (I think) since this segment was filmed.
Seems like it does www.wakefield.gov.uk/museums-and-castles/castleford-museum#things
Wikipedia says one was built in 2013.
Castleford Museum website www.wakefield.gov.uk/museums-and-castles/castleford-museum/visit-castleford-museum/
I'm with Phil , One big trench!
Hope Castleford got it's own museum
I looked it up and I’m very happy for y’all getting the museum!
Time Team made 2020 bearable and am rewatching them all from Key West Florida Thank you so much from USA
*Also theres a street called Temple street. hint?
25:40 "Ladies and gentlemen, this gentleman is about to stick a bore hole through his anomaly."
Punctuated by John's hat tip afterwards 😂
40:07 nice dancing there. You know their family got together to watch the episode that they were in, hoping to catch a glimpse of their loved one on tv for the world to see, on only to see this.
I always wonder why the rest of the pots and bowls shards aren't right close to the big hunk they do find.
Perhaps there had been a lot of rains the year that the waterlogged stuff was brought up. That might not be normal or usual for most years.
Geophys had a series of failures which were only defended by assumptions. The only true finds are done through the trenches and true archeology. I echo Competetiveaudios post about Victor - he was amazing!
Didn't Time Team once pay a visit to Jamestown, Virginia at some point?
not sure about Virginia, only watched up to here so far, but they did go to St Mary's City in Maryland in Season 4 ua-cam.com/video/071OPeO3bOc/v-deo.html
The Jamestown they went to was on Nevis in the Caribbean.
Why are 2 episodes hidden
Anybody ever notice at 18:10, that child bears an uncanny resemblance to Jenny Butterfield. I know she's not her, but looks like a young Jenny. Spitting image.
First aired March 10, 2002.
castleford ftw
Let's go to Castleford Museum, said no one ever.
fuck you
TEC curtis
Limitz_ Flair what the fuck were you doing up at 2 o’clock in morning watching time team in cas
Phil and Katie are cute together. She is not put off by his 'Scarecrow' appearance.
I wasn't; speak for yourself please.
The most wonderful thing about these people, other than their amazing knowledge, is how kind and humble they are. In life, you constantly come across knowledgeable people who are completely caught up in their egos. The fact that the younger archeologists are at ease with their elders speaks SO WELL of the older people. Bravo
@Marnie Sweet : I can guarantee you that many women are quite attracted to Phil. He's very charming and kind, yet he's no pushover either. He is very passionate about his work and the other things in life that interest him, as well as a fun person to be around. And he just loves people and their company, he puts everyone around him at ease. Even when he is expressing his grumpiness he is still quite charming about it, but doesn't take any gruff at the same time. Besides, that accent is pure sexy, lols.
@Rhonda Sisco-Cleveland : That's exactly what keeps me coming back episode after episode. ^-^
His talent is amazing, his laughter is infectious and makes me laugh. Outer appearances are so over rated. I am glad Katie recognizes his personality and intelligence. All on TT are wonderful to me.
Are there, I wonder, any episodes where they fail to find anything? All the excitement with their constant success is a bit much to take. It would be nice and relaxing if they'd just dig and find undifferentiated dirt.
+Green Flash There is at least one that I've seen as I go through every episode to post the coordinates. 2nd or 3rd season I think.
They chalked it up to, "Well, at least we know now that there ISN'T anything here."
+Green Flash In one episode they actually got hoaxed by someone trying it on, although they sussed it pretty quickly.
Most of season 4 was pretty lame. I was surprised they renewed the show after that season, because they met so few of their goals on site after site.
+Lisa Kilmer The wonderful thing about archeology is that no finds can settle if a theory is true or not. So they still met their goals in that regards.
You are forgetting something here. They are professionals, they knew where they are going to go in advance and they certainly did their homework before setting out. And even though the archaeology is real the show is scripted and most of the digging was done off camera. 72 hours of digging (often by archaeologists not seen on screen) will almost guarantee some discovery at some point. It may not always have been what they set out do find, but thousands of years of habitation on an island albeit a large one like Britain is so full of history to discover that it is hard not to find something if you dig deep enough or make a trench large enough.
10:47 I would be fearful of getting bitten!
A Mancio is like a local Police station /tax collecting centre, nothing changed there then !
Don't forget post office.
*Mansio.*
Why would there be a pram sunk in the river??? 😱
The assumption is NO Roman influence prior to Caesar. When it comes to 'business' and trading~ Roman influence far exceeded occupation by 30 years, a generation, at least.
I bet Katie was fun!
Hell of a bicycle.
Tony Robinsons"may I come in your trench- exploration of the soggy middens" is brilliant, a fine documentary of colonial privileges. 'Please go on about the history of struggles of the oppressor State?
You mean it doesn't mean can I step in your dirty hole.
Wow you see much more in the stain in the dirt than I do.
Where is the colony??,??
Sophie towers over those guys!
Yeah, it is noticeable
Has Castleford gotten its museum?
no
Yes, it’s in the same building as Castleford Library.
Did we bollocks... a bit in the library that’s it.

At the 32:35 mark, are those goal posts? Have they taken up American football in Castleford?
Castleford (like Yorkshire in general) is home to a top-notch Rugby League (13-a-side) side. Rugby, both Union and League, use goal posts .. and did so before gridiron became popular in the Atlantic colonies.
That makes sense. I am unfamiliar with rugby.
Best way to be!
Tripp Ames, American football didn't exist in any British colony whatsoever. It only came to be in the sovereign nation of The United States of America. That means "after we repulsed the British crown from OUR soil, twice.
@David Andrews : Yea, rugby is only for the super tough. Best to stay away if you're not one of them.
@truracer20 : Calm down Spanky. No one is saying anyone had american football before your precioussss america. They're just letting you know where football came from.
Tha boring against the stone is like nails on a chalkboard.
TR who says 'carsle' for castle is obliged to say 'cassleferd' like a Northerner if he doesn't want to sound like a posh suthenner who doesn't know the name of the place.
Further north there's Newcastle---locals say 'n'yacassle' with the emphasis on 'cass'===southerners NEWcarsle
43:30 Rather odd graphic if you ask me. Maybe edit Mr. Ainsworth out of the shot first.
Archeology for those with ADD...ha
Short quick and pottery sherds my type of program
When Phil finds pot It is ceramic.HA HA HA.
The little fellow sure likes the word "we" when all he appears to do is read from the teleprompter.
Guy la douche!!
Anyone wanna buy a bunch of Victorian tat, going cheap? Sigh.
The used attic empirically wrap because tooth coherently drip within a damaged scooter. substantial, discreet plywood
Have you taken your pill or play with your own selves?
I hope they re-bury those remains.......and not shove them in some box on a shelf in a museum...
There lots of places where everything, every bone, stone, and potsherd goes back in the ground. There are various rationalizations, but the fact is proper curation costs money, and it is paid for by the cubic foot. It isn't cheap. So, museums are accpeting less, especially if they can't afford climate controlled storage units. Another way to look at burials though is that those bones can often tell us story almost as clearly as the individual, if you could talk to them. You could for example tell if they were native to Britain, or if not, where they came from. Isotopes can tell whether they were eating diets heavy in fish or dry land animals. Ootzie was determined to be Italian rather than Austrian by stable istope and trace element analysis, and oddly he was born not far (few tens of miles) from where he died. Marks on the teeth and bones can indicate nutrional stresses, caloric reductions (starvation), and diseases like STDs and tuberculosis. Cremations tell less, especially if the bone is ground up like modern crematoriums do.
You have to get a license to dig bones which is only possible with a doctorate and a research plan. In order for the bones t be kept you must manually present your reason to do so or back to burial they go. No one just posses about Willy nilly with them I assure you.
Ootzie revealed that he has tattoos recently or so I heard.
“No chance of me finding my Roman road” Tony’s arrogant sense of entitlement always irks me. Where would he have been without this show? And what was his contribution? Always last to the site and first away with keys to the TT vehicle never leaving his grasp. But still he never misses an opportunity to denigrate the real workers, the experienced and knowledgeable professionals. How often does he imply that Phil is a drunkard and Mick is bumbling old man. And they let him get away with it as is often the way when amiable and polite people have to put up with a self aggrandizing layabout. In 20 years how often did he actually pick up a trowel or stand in the rain with the team. Yet he is revered and Mick just faded away. So unfair.
If you had done some research, read prior comments in other episodes you would have learned that it was Tony’s “ job” to act the way he does. Instead we all get to read your “ blah blah blah” criticisms.
He is an actor...this was his job,also he s an amateur archeologist.apart from that ,he s done many series on t.v about the history in the British Isles plus children series.
Sir Tony Robinson now. . .well deserved, too. (Do a little research on the man) Mick was the professor, that's true, but he and Tony had been friends for awhile. Tony had the television expertise and a real appreciation for programming that would be educational as well as entertaining. They handpicked the rest of the original team. Tony kept the show lively with his quips and reminders, and he was responsible for the camaraderie on the team. His was the toughest job of all in a lot of ways. But Mick wanted him, and the studio wanted him, and Tim Taylor wanted
him. To me, his personality made the show the quirky masterpiece that it was. And Mick didn't fade away; he died.
You are misreading Tony's dry humor ....they are all get along so well, please enjoy the show ...no need to be upset. Relax
I'll answer it this way "you would have don e better how?"😮
