I always wondered what the strange hill was when I used to drive past it regularly. I was always an ardent Time Team fan, so to manage to help as a digger was literally a dream come true. Everyone was just so approachable and 100% invested in the dig. It was such a relief to know that Time Team was genuine and not simply staged. Happy days.
@@YooZherName Yes I was so excited. I was involved in local archaeology and a friend phone me to ask if I was interested. I chatted to quite a few of the team about different aspects and they were just so nice. The Time Team episodes are exactly the same as being there, it's all genuine with the arguments continuing off camera too. It still seems like a dream. I still have my blue wrist band to remind me.
I missed out on the opportunity of meeting the time team :(. I was born and raised in the village :)
@@johnhandley9041 Awesome story dude.
Wonderful experience to share w us.
Wow! What an extraordinary experience. I have such affinity towards each of them, for different reasons. Of course, Phil is delightful, Mick was venerable, and Tony was the glue that stuck everything together. Stewart, Victor, Raksha, and the rest... all absolute gold!
What I am learning from TT after now having watched half or more of all the episodes is that you can basically dig just about anywhere in England and find archeology.
Yes. When I lived in London I didn't get to travel out as much as planned. But when people ask me what I loved about it most, I say it's because literally everywhere you put your foot there is history.
Layers upon layers of rich, meaningful, very human history.
How Glorious is that to be surrounded by History like that !! We don't have that here in America !! A Different kind-of Archaeology here !! Native American & Early Settlers Mostly!
I always love it when Stewart has a hunch and breaks out a new theory. Great insights into the landscape.
Yes he is so talented!
Good taste in jackets too
*Stewart is BOSS!* Love the guy!
" Brand new geophys shows the windmill base right here. "
" When was it here? "
"In the PAST, Phil, lay off the scrumpy "
This show is the reason why I'm studying archaeology in university, and it never gets old
I get so happy when I see Mick in an episode. Huge thanks to all Time Team legends, you left a great contribution for humanity!
I have to admit Im hooked on Time Team call Time Teamholics anonymous.
Seriously I never had any idea that Archeology was this fascinating.
Seeing Victor Ambrus's drawings makes me miss him so much. It's sad to know that *Time Team Redux* will have to do without him. Y'all's video reminiscing about him was wonderful.
Stewart needs a whole show. "Walking through history", preferrably in VR.
Time team title sequence should be his walking /biking montages
With Victor's drawings filling in anything with a tepestry or artwork.
Tony Robinson has a show with that title. It's pretty interesting. :)
YES!!!!! Julia - brilliant idea. Absolutely!
Yes!
Since stumbling upon and becoming a huge fan of T.T. years ago, I have become awestruck by Stewart, his patience, knowledge and observational abilities are, to me, superb.
As someone who used maps extensively in his pursuits of climbing, walking and cycling, I can really appreciate his efforts.
I think I love John. For so many episodes he's mocked (as his role in the series) , and then in something like this you see the benefit of his oversight of the environment, his skill and perseverence, his fighting his science. Fascinating
Stewart is also very useful on landscape archeology.
I love both of them and think they're both integral to the team.
John stresses easy, which is why they are unmerciful.
I too adore John. GeoPhysics is a cool College of Knowledge.
Over repeated watchings, John has become my favorite of the team also.
Always be nice to your Geophys guys, they’re integral to the team and the project and they don’t get as many accolades
I love the honest arguments and emotional give and take about deciding where to dig. Just seems more real than any "reality" TV from the U.S.
There is not a thing real about American Reality TV.
Every time they say Stewarts been lurking and cut to him, I can't help but think "Oh, so we'll know what actually happened in a minute then".
Ya, that man has a gift! He can tell so much just by looking at the landscape, an old map and having a view from an helicopter! I think Time Team should focus more on him and his insight!
So unique to see real professionals working as a team....and enjoying themselves!
But they're British, and when you get many British together working on something they enjoy, you get humour.
This is what I loved about Time Team, when one part of the team couldn't find anything i.e. in the trenches, then another would step up and deliver the necessary evidence. Stewart's ability to find so much detail in what looks like just ordinary landscapes is amazing.
This comes from the wonderful time when you always had something interesting to watch on television. Now there is nothing at all for us oldies.
Imagine opening wooden panels in your house to reveal medieval beams. Then being able to say what year it was built - because you've still got the receipt.
I absolutely LOVE this show! So sorry that Mick passed away and extremely sorry to hear that they are ending the show. One of the best shows on UA-cam. High quality for sure. I will miss it.
And the artist has sadly passed away as wel..
Time Team is the best! I live in the U.S. so haven’t seen the show in broadcast, but Tim’s Team makes for great binge watching on UA-cam!
Every so often I have to stop and appreciate the absolute artisrty of these episodes. The mood-setting music, wistful, amusing, or exciting; the editing, explaining beautifully what's going on and what's being talked about, and bringing a sense of spontenaity to everything. It maintains the genuine-ness of eything. And then, who assembled the cast? Because they did amazingly! People who are both excellent in their field and fun on camera, who are just so GOOD at making everything easy to understand. Half the fun is the chemistry between people. And I don't know how it was done, maybe its something everyone's learnt over the years, but everyone is so natural for being on camera. And Tony is just this really artful blend of standing in for us the viewers who need things explained, acting at a little bit of an antagonist almost? Not genuinely haha but as sometimes a force of doubt or impatience, he adds a kind of conflict that's still always friendly and good-natured and doing that is not easy, that could be annoying and obviously it'll be entirely subjective as to whether it succeeds but for me and I think a lot of people it really does, or he and the show wouldn't be so beloved and have continued so long. This stuff that can be difficult to consciously notice but that effects the entire experience of an episode. I knew I loved Time Team as informative and fun and something from my childhood, but watching it now I'm happy to really appreciate that it is so genuinely well made all-round ❤
Spot on!
The red and gold Victorian jewelry really highlights Helens small finds expertise on how she can tell it's not a Saxon find 👌
Anglo-Saxon, it would of been a Jutish find.
The Victorians absolutely destroyed most of british history..
Finally I come across an episode that mentions the golden temple of Uppsala (my home town north of Stockholm) :)
The finds in Uppsala, metal work with garnets, from the same period are very similar to the ones found in England.
They were all over Europe.
Here in Fryslân also.
www.friesmuseum.nl/en/collection/icons/fibula-from-wijnaldum
Merovingian France has them too.
Seen them in Kiev, museum.
Kent was settled by Jutes and not Saxons, with ties to both Scandinavia and to the Franks on the continent! The Jutes of Kent are confirmed by grave goods (Bracteates, etc.) as the same as the Jutes of Denmark!
@@vanjimbo aye man, they were probably related to the geats or even possibly goths, who serving as mercenaries in gaul and frankia picked up the tradition of gaullic/frankish ironworking. It was also possibly due to the fact Kent may of became a frankish domaine
I love this crew and how they go for beer at the end of a hard day god bless them all 🙏🙏👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺
Stuart really came into his own in this episode. Brilliant!
Absolutely!
I love Time Team. I wish the US would do its own version. But nothing would be better than the original Time Team with Tony,Phil and the late Mick and everybody else. Great,great show!
Stewart is absolutely amazing!!! He alone can tell the whole story of a site simply by walking in the landscape, looking at old maps and doing an helicopter tour. He is sooo talented! Wow! 👌
I think Time Team should focus more on him and his insight!
19:27
I love how instantly David was willing to tuck into being a digger. If only more land owners in the UK were so generous, Alot won't even let you walk around their property let alone dig.
At least we have in much of the countryside, rights of way in England! In the USA we would be perhaps warned off with shotguns
@@dinerouk especially if you wander on to their property without permission.
@@PartlySunny74I live here and while you might not be chased off with a shotgun you absolutely will be chased off. We take property ownership rights extremely seriously here and actually wonder why you all don't.
@@dineroukyeah rightly so. Stay off private lands without permission. You probably won't be chased off with lethal force anymore it is true but you absolutely will get chased off for not respecting people. I just appreciate that with his property ownership options he chose to be open. I appreciate it because it was a choice.
@@dineroukalso don't be dumb. The entire UK can fit inside over forty percent of our states. There absolutely are both rights of way and public travel easements in the USA.
I LOVE THIS SERIES!! They are SOOOO fun to watch. My favorite is PHIL, he's a riot!! Would love to go on a dig in Scotland with him and the team!!!
Having Dungeons & Dragons mentioned in the show was a very fun thing for me especially considering how much Time Team has influenced how a describe ancient worlds in the game. It was a wonderful show.
The music is too loud, couldn't hear Tony nearly, but didn’t see episode before so that is nice.
SORRY I CANT HEAR YOU OVER THE DRUMS !
I agree music way too loud.
No issues here with the quality and level of sound of the video. Then again I'm focused mainly on the archeology work happening, so might be a chance I didn't notice it.
Volume button?!?!?
It's how the videos are made for tv. When you watch on prime it's really loud too. I wish they would edit them more for talking not sound affects
So many brilliant people in one video. Pure heavenly escape.
I'm not having any problem at all with the sound balance. Thanks for posting these videos.
Are you high again? The music is blasting loud
@@BS-qr5es Nope, I'm not having issues with the sound either. Are you high, though? 🤔
I was beginning to wonder if I was watching the same video as everyone else. No problem here either.
Absolute time capsules this program was. I remember as a teen watching them on a sunday night before bed. Brilliant. Even all the people third party that took part.
This gives me back memories, I miss watching time team on television I'll never forget this ❤
I had never heard of the show ( I’m in the US), but I am absolutely obsessed now! I love each of the cast members.
I love TimeTeam and the archeology that the team bring into the light of day, but I often think that it’s the expertise and imagination of the whole team that brings the rich history of our wonderful country to life, at least it does for me, thanks TimeTeam. 😀👍🇬🇧🏴
P.S Of all the team, and I like them all, Bridge is the one that I like best, whatever is thrown in her direction she attacks it with such enthusiasm and determination to find out as much as possible about what is either in a hole or whatever comes out of it, even the smallest fragment like the discovered in this episode.
Great to see episodes I've not seen. An excellent explanation of how a palace can be missed and sometimes a hill is just frequently visited place😮
Please please PLEASE downmix the audio from 5.1 to stereo otherwise the narration sections are completely drowned out by the music beds
Still not fixed. It’s very hard to listen to…
Yes! It's very hard to distinguish some of the narration
Yes music drowns out the narrative
Yes please
Try enabling stable volume through advanced settings.
Having seen the newest episode of Time Team with Paul Blinkhorn post-tracheaotomy+mechanical voicebox and then rewatch older ones has made me realize how much hes always just sounded like he just has a bad case of laryngitis lol. He still sounds so much like himself in the newest episode, and goodness the brooch they found was magnificient! I hope everyones given it a watch
I used to live in Hever at the Rectory....anxiously waiting on this one!!!!! 💖 !!!!!!!
Just hearing that theme tune and "We've got 3 days to find out!" 🥺🥺 So nostalgic
The Team always finds the coolest stuff in folks yards, fields, ect. All I find in my backyard here in the states is old pop tops…
Can't believe I heard dungeons and dragons from his mouth. Being a dungeons and dragons nerd myself, I love it when people reference to it.
haven't played D&D in something like 40 years.
No one cares how gay you are
@@PauluzP because you always comment about things you don't care about, muppet?
I believe that no matter what direction you step in England you can stumble across History
I think Time team should sell Mic sweaters.. I would buy 3 or 4. I love em
Glad to see this upload . My home village :) . Not been down to visit due to current circumstances . I miss skating that footpath near the church
I used to skate here as well ...and I worked with your mum and auntie at eastry house
@@stuartpointer1661 what a small world
Music is too loud. It overwhelms the narration by Tony.
Turn on closed captions. That'll solve it
@@MarceldeJong: Or, you know, just get someone to mix the audio properly in the first place.
@@MontyCantsin5 yes for the next videos that's a great idea.
But that can't be done after the fact.
So in this case, in order to better understand the voiceover work in this particular video turn on CC.
Didn’t notice the background Audio on the main TV with Sonos beam but was an issue on iPad, hey mute point against subject quality
What music???????, watching on iPad and not heard much music during the narration at all, perhaps I am just tone deaf. 😀👍🇬🇧🏴
Thanks so much for posting.
The hill was clearly the neighborhood fairgrounds (town party spot) and a place where lovers will sneak off for some alone time at night. Definitely explains the lost brooches.
Dig, dig, dig! Nice upper-body fitness on these folks. I had no idea archaeology involved so much digging. Great show!
This takes me back to watching Time Team with my late Grandfather, when I was a child. Thank you Time Team Classic
I wish my mom were alive to watch this with me, she would have loved it! I also remember programs we enjoyed watching together as kids even though she and my Dad have been gone thirty years. Glad this brought happy memories.
I’m an American longing to come learn and see this history! Edit: we’re visiting in September, can’t wait!!
Same!!!
An interesting episode, and would have been even better, if not for the fact the so-called 'background' music drowned out Tony Robinson's narration in a good number of places!
This completely drowning out of the narrative by the music is something that should have been noticed and corrected early on in the production.
I totally agree!
suppose that also explains the unusual thumbs down for this episode? and it will be one more . mine...
@@elizabethschaeffer9543 It's the way it is being prepared before upload. The original broadcasts were not like this. Uploads had this issue last year, and they had seemed to have sorted it. But this one isn't great.
@@pwimbledon And here I thought it was just me. Glad to know I'm not *entirely* losing it!
So happy to see Stewart has expanded his role with the team.
Note to live stream viewers:
During the last live stream. We ended up with some trolls..
As the steams grow. Sadly the chances of trolls will grow also.
When you see a troll. Use the 3 vertical dots at the end of the name you highlight. Click and then click on "block"
Please do not engage them. It changes the dynamics of the chat... Just block and move on..
Enjoy the stream.
ahh good man, will do :)
Wait, you are saying people are trolling your "amusing" drinking game? Aw, my heart is broken.
Who the hell are you? The troll police?
It will always be trolls. People are bored and this is apperently the best they can do 🤦♂️ dont sink to their level.
@@karlkarlos3545 Actually no.. They are coming on and saying low IQ things like. It's all fake...
Sorry to upset you. -_-
The audio skills on this channel can be quite an archaeological find
The title of this episode should be 'Dig More Holes!!'
I was rolling when he mentioned taking the dudes house down at the end LOL
God i miss this show 😢
Being stuck in an old English pub with Phil & Mick & few cold drinks.... Heaven! 🥴
An Tony, gotta have a friend at the table to joke on😂
@@user-hy7zb2vl3t
I like *Tony* & have heard some really nice things about him when he meets random fans when he's out & about, apparently he is an absolute delight but.... We would probably come to blows over our politics as he is a very vocal advocate of his creed....😕
Unfortunately, meeting *Mick* won't happen either as he apparently died a while back. 😕
I love listening to Stuart’s deductions from the topography, maps, and culture. I wish he had more tools to show us his observations.
Mick always seems to me to be the voice of reason when it comes to making up his mind where the trenches go, he always mulls it over in his mind where they go before he does anything, and never seems to act on an impulse.
How did i not know time team was back? Its great to see this again, all these years later. This was an inspiration to me, as a little kid.
The dramatic thunder and spooky story by candlelight is too much. I love this show 😆
a wooden medieval windmill still preserved seems sort of impressive to me, but then just breezed right past that :/
@ newwavepop Did we miss something ?? I was waiting for that too. Squared oak trunks, iron bolts ?? Nothing.
Because they are not that rare, in fact a few still stand.
Excellent and very interesting, even when they didn't find anything!!
I love these so much. I find myself getting lost in them and bingeing away. This one though had horrible audio editing. I could hardly tell was tony was saying under the music.
Very poor audio mixing. The background music was louder than Tony's voice. Hard to make out everything said.
Turn subtitles on, they are quite hilarious.
@@katerinakemp5701 You are right! Very funny!
@@katerinakemp5701
I also do that just to see the robot and its alternative versions of wrong words....:)
So many cool pubs!
Tony.s face with that litle shard of pottery 😯😯
I don't know why, but this episode of Time Team has always been one of my favorites...
Never seen this episode before. Brilliant!
I think that Stewart gets a bit slagged off too often, he often has really good insight that guides the team in the right direction, I wonder if it's because he is not an "Archeologist"? but is trained as a surveyor, or maybe he is an archeologist, but not the dig in a ditch kind?
I love these shows.
Stewart: An intrepid Yorkshireman!
That's just normal British banter played up a bit for the cameras. Don't think too much into it.
To John Handley, what a great story and I am SOOO jealous. I would love to be in on a dig or clean finds or field walk. If we can ever get past Covid I would travel to England to volunteer on a site
"It's like a Hammer horror!" I love Sir Tony!
I / we want more, as in lots more, of Time Team digs ..please. Thks
Da da your prayers have been answered. They're doing some more digs a bit later this year April I think Tim said. Sadly no Mick, Robin, and the wonderful Victor but let's hope its not like season 20
@@Tiger89Lilly Oh great, shall look forward to seeing any more digs that they do. Just hope that John & Stewart don't get so much ' stick ' ..lol and Helen has her humour and Carenza is as radiant as ever.. ! Thks
Love 36:10 where we see Phil in the upper right hand corner of the screen, cracking up at everyone arguing at the table
Good episode I like that one intresting. The music reminds me of the Age of Empires 2 game for some reason...😅
Good grief, most likely the Anglo-Saxon palace they seek is directly under the footprint of the existing mansion which clearly sits in a place of prominence going back many centuries. I was surprised they didn’t seem to explore that likelihood. If that house has a basement could they not at least try to find something?
Tony’s head is about to explode with the contradiction in the experts!😂
The dude looking at all his lawn being torn up and smiles an nods… 😂
That’s good stuff!😁
I always love the rivalry they get going between John, Stewart and Phil (and some of the other archeologists) and Mick sort of has to referee. I do kind of miss that about Time Team.
I’ve watched every episode probably 5 times each .. I can’t stop love these guys..and my name is Kent
I thought i had seen all the episodes but i dobt remember this one. Thx for uploading it
Great show the old time team are so good. The new time team is just a PHD glory show. No wonder it was taken off TV in GB.
One of the best TV shows ever.
Love this show. Just my 2 cents though "sometimes the only thing you find when you dig a hole is the bottom of a hole" and for an archeologist that has go to be frustrating.
I watch Time Team EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. So, I feel qualified to speak my opinion. Every single member of the cast and crew is important in creating this wonderful show. Having said that though, I must say I do get tired of Roman villas, mosaics, and kilns! Oh, yeah, and hypercourse tiles. 😂
Mosaics Mosaics Mosaics, 😢😢😢I understand 😂
Absolutely hooked on this channel.
Oh dear, I dozed off and dreamt Mick, Phil myself and someone else was looking at the geophysics of someone’s house. We were trying to determine where to put a pit. I may be watching too many? Never!
When ever I hear about discarded trinkets I always think of the giving during the pentecost maypole ceremony to get good luck for the coming season.
My 18th times Great Grandfather was Richard Earl of Cambridge. And my eldest daughter Amber and me we are all watching from all the way down under from Mount Gambier in the State Of Great Wild South Australian.
🥇🦘🇦🇺⚜️👑⚜️🏴🇬🇧
Nearly everyone is related to some kind of royalty..
That drawing of the Palace reminded me of Thai timber architecture, especially existing temples. I wonder if that type of timber architecture was at some stage spread over northern hemisphere?
@@UncommonSense-wm5fd I mean, I'm speculating whether prior to masonry whether similar architecture was much more wide -spread. Since similar examples exist in SE Asia.
Ah yes, the kingdom of Kent. Home of Princess Monaco... :P
Windmill? Phil had better buy John a keg. What a find. Wow.
It's mad to see the quality of the images from the ground penetrating radar compared to what we have available today. Also having to rent the helicopter for what a simple drone can provide nowadays.
It's important to note that while useful and cheaper, a drone still can't give you the perspective that a helicopter can. There is nothing like doing something yourself.
I wonder if the name Eastry could allude to "Oster Ey", "Eastern Island"? Was there an island in that region back in the 7th Century?
All those stamps are customs and excise confirmation that you are serving the correct measures love watching your channel would love to get back up the road one day
We want to uncover every archaeological site in Britain...and we've just got 3 days to do it.
😂😂😂
So.... Dig up the whole country, strip the land of all surface material. I'm not joking, there really is so much because of how long people have been here and how small the island is
Trying to come up with a drinking game, so far I have: old men talking while young women work, closeup of Phil’s badger claws, and “it’s not Anglo-Saxon”
Don't forget ads
There is a time team drinking games someone came up with.
Phil: "Stone the crows" "get out of my trench"
Stuart: ducking behind a hedge/on a bike/coming up with a new theory blowing everything else out of the water
Paul Blinkhorn: "very nice" "about this size" gesters with hands
Geophys
Rain
Gazebos blowing into a hedge
Ian the digger pointing something in the trench
Francis: "ritual" "prehistoric"
Council of war around the land rover
I can't remember the rest of them but it's in the comment section of one of the other videos.
It should keep you going for a bit
One of the best episodes ever! Wonderful!
I love how they wind up John all the time. What a good sport!
i do think also John is such a good sport, and never tire of seeing him say that the site 'Is a nightmare for us', greeted by raised eyebrows from the rest of the team.
I wonder if tony realizes where the phrase sweet fanny addams came from, it is a Very chilling,horrific and gruesome tale of the murder and dismemberment of a little girl called .........Fanny addams. They never found all of her .Sailors at that time on navy ships were given tinned lamb,The meat chunks had shrunk so much in the tin there was just a little at the bottom of it.So started the saying Sweet fuc* all or sweet fanny addams.The animal responsible was found not guilty.A case covered by a utubist called "they got away with murder"
New one on me is this! TFS, GB :)
