As an American living in the distant colony, California, I have no idea why I am so enthralled watching a bunch of delightfully quirky adults digging bric-a-brac from ancient English fields. I suppose it's because Time Team offers such a refreshing, quality contrast to the mind-draining trash that's offered elsewhere. It continues to be a fascinating learning experience and I am hopelessly addicted to the ever-changing content above and below ground (and water) level. What a fabulous body of work! Keep digging, please!
Because when we find old stuff in the ground, it's from like 1920 and we're like amazed they're talking Neolithic era here. It is amazing. I also live in California. This I can't get enough of the show. It's crazy how old this stuff is and they're just like it's only 1400 years and I'm not thinking 40 years and I'm like over the moon that's why
No, not an English colony. But some family members were from England and Scotland, so I guess that's what I meant. Thanks for the note --Jeff@@pattysue2516
Wohoo! I’ve been watching one or two a day since January. Recently archeology has been creeping into my dreams too! Once Mick was in my kitchen asking for a biscuit to go with his cuppa ☺️
@@joshschneider9766 I'd be saying yes before they could finish asking. Then I would help dig any and all areas they wanted. Would also probably continue after the 3 days are up because I love history and would want to properly preserve and record all of it.
Lol i dreamt I was swimming with the whales with the Time Team crew and then John Gater and I were walking on the ocean floor! Have I been watching too much Time Team I wonder? Pretty sure there's no such thing as too much Time team Haha
@@Spartan265 heh id suggest leaving the actual trenching to the professional archaeologists. id have never noticed three quarters of the stains in the ground lol
Best discovery of the whole pandemic. Time Team episodes about everything from Mesolithic to modern. Georgian mansion? So interesting to see how people managed to upscale and disguise. More Time Team! Please!!!
Whomever did the "Production Prep, "all the necessary city/county approvals and paperwork", all the pre-planning to each subject, and then, all the Footage editing, were truly working as hard as any "digger" and they get totally overlooked by the unaware audience. *This series also had to be managed by some effective and efficient Executives.* Amazing magic to pull off 3-day Digs, film them, and be appealing to an audience for some 20 +/- seasons. Yep, they definitely are Award Worthy!
I've recently been looking into records about local history thanks to TT rekindling my interest, and even with so much information available digitally - and the ability to search digitally - I have even more respect for the researchers and archivists than I did before. Sourcing records and maps, obtaining copies and often having parts enlarged, seems to still be quite a task even now, yet before digital archives were available it must have been infinitely more time-consuming and difficult. We always see the old maps and records on the programmes but not the effort that went into finding them. Add to that all the other areas you mention, my mind boggles at how much work it all must have been.
Yeah, Jonathan Foyle's a pretty funny guy, on the whole. He's almost as good with a turn of phrase as Tony Robinson, and always knows how to explain things in an interesting way. Also, the line makes me think of Monty Python's infamous Fish-Slapping Dance.
Best combination of entertainment and teaching, these Time Team episodes. As a Dutchy, with a crush on the British island, its landscape, nature and history, I'm enjoying this episode with laughter about your expressive way of moving about, and your comments and discussions. With your sense of humour alive, you're truly a team achieving results that are significant in some way. Even when no evidence of structure, or trace of objects, is found, your team manages to take your "losses" with a round of beer or wine in a local pub. Eager to move on to the next exploration, digging each time with unwavering enthusiasm, cracking jokes. It's like Lilli Haicken, in her comment below, says. In the Dutch pandemic, these episodes are vitamin shots for the spirit.
I'm from the US. I discovered this series in March of 2020 during the early days of COVID, and had watched my way through all 20 series/seasons by the end of that summer. I learned more about British geography and history during that period than I'd ever known in my life. Developing a better understanding of British history, especially throughout the Tudor years, gives me a clearer idea of the conditions that led to the emigration of British to the American continent, and a British perspective on the Georgian era -- the era during which the American Founding Fathers invented the United States.
There was never a better cast brought together than TT. Not even Dad's Army got close! Thank you TT you have made my life better than it could otherwise have been.
Love these replays. You just know Phil is gonna crack off a winner. And, It's cooler and Rainier than normal here on the East USA mid-Atlantic. Don't even have to make iced tea. Feels like the Channel a bit. Cheers y'all.
Great episode that shows the process by which investigators have to compare their original hypothesis to the evidence - over and over - until they come as close to the truth as logic allows.
Really really cool to see time team digging up my family's old gaff! the names mentioned here are in my family tree, and that goes back to 1160, I feel drawn to go and visit the place now
Time Team has become a kind of an OCD thing for me: I have to watch an episode or two before I go to sleep. I must have been through the hole shabam 5 or 7 times. Utterly satisfying.
I feel i’m there with you all. It’s Christmas day here in sydney Australia 🇦🇺 I love watching you all preparing for Christmas eve. Merry Christmas to you all!
Well! Pride goes before a fall (Mr Popham), thank goodness the beautiful lodge still remains AND is inhabitable. Best not think too much about what was destroyed for vanity and swanking, heyho it gives archaeologists summat to do !!! Loved this episode, it is very near where I live.
Sir John Popham lord chief justice was an evil sod, he threw a newborn baby on a fire and was cursed along with every first son in line, I am the last as I had 3 girls and I feel I have taken the brunt of the curse for that :o(
@@ChrisPopham Goodness! I have heard a story about a ''Lord'' who threw a new-born into the fire. The midwife had been blindfolded but recognised his voice. I work as a guide in a Stately Home not far from Bath, many stories are told and retold some are fabricated but it would seem that this one is true. Dreadful. Thank you for your reply.
I've watched Francis Pryor before, on "Britain BC and AD" on UA-cam. And I somehow found Time Team, with its knowledgeable and hilarious archeologists. Phil probably talks like some of my ancestors, who I think originally were from Norfolk, probably farmers, with the name Marler. (I think every farmer in England knew one Marler or another.) This series is addicting. Thank you, Time Team! 🙂Going now to watch something about the Fens!
I am an enthusiastic fan of Francis Pryor. I love his ebullient manner and cheerful approach to everything. Best antidote I know of to existential gloom.
No problem ;-) . Both of those accents are variations of southern English country accents, so they are much less different from Welsh, Scottish or Irish accents, for example. '@@karenbartlett1307
Guys! When you watch documentaries on UA-cam, you are bound to find duplicates. Especially on ones like Timeline, Absolute History, etc. This is because they purchase licenses so they can upload them. This is not something Time Team can predict let alone prevent.
I assume Mary-Ann Ochota won't do any interview for the show? What happened to her was not right as it wasn't her fault regarding all the changes, blame that squarely on Channel 4. Just a shame Mick never got given a producer title then he'd have had more say and made more money.
I've got cast iron cookware I know belonged to my great grandmother, and may have been hand-me-downs to her. 70-year-old pottery wouldn't strike me as the least bit odd. It would be stranger if a household DIDN'T have some old stuff in it. British archeology is so different from U.S. archeology, it's hard to grasp. Both have been inhabited by humans for millennia, but stone just wasn't a thing in North America. The Incas and Aztecs were into stone, but native North Americans just weren't. Very nomadic. The people living in North America now move around a lot. I can't remember having the same neighbor for more than two decades. In the 7-1/2 years I've lived in my present location, I've had three next-door neighbors come and go, and the place is vacant right now. I always kind of worry that I may end up with an ongoing pain-in-the-ass.
One of the first colonies formed by the Pilgrim Fathers in 1607 was the Popham Colony in Virginia, named after Sir John, who was also a major financial backer.
Pretty sure the Popham Colony was in Maine, although virtually all of the East Coast from the Carolinas up to New England was Virginia Company claimed land in 1600.
Jonathan Foyle was great on this episode. Very communicative and engaging. He was a good addition - was he the lead (or part of the lead) on any other Time Team digs?
G'day from the Arizona and Mexican border. Savory scones with a bechamel on the breakfast menu. That's biscuits and gravy for the Colonials in the New World.
Another great dig. My question is if these dig sites are only 200 to 300 years old why are they so deep in the ground. Have they been back filled my man over the centuries or is it a natural cause.
Seems unlikely it is by natural cause. Because that would mean there's half a meter soil added all over the UK, and the rest of the world. Besides, they used the rubble to fill the empty basement also.
I never understood this about older generations make artwork really small in detail and really accurate but put it up really high and far away so that the common eye can’t really see it 😄 o and make it the same color as the wall itself.
I was wondered forever, Ian powkesland, I’ve seen him in a ton of episodes Was he a heavy machine operator that was bored and learned how to be an to dig Or an archeological that happens to know how to run digger
Ian is a actual trained dig archeologist, he got training from Ian Barclay the main operator so he has acquired many of his skills from Ian Barclay RIP.
The mountain I live on here in North Georgia, USA is peppered with literally 1000’s of stones. They lie on top of the soil. Some are the size of small cars. I use the rocks 🪨 frequently in my ornamental gardens. Future archeologists should have a field day.
I just if in the 1700’s that the ability to obtain wood of good quality was more limited as the English oaks are reserved for naval construction. Oak lumber had to be imported in from Europe (German) to maintain construction and repair of vessels, luckily a supply of captured vessels supplemented the fleet.
Ahhhhhhh nice American Accent and well spoken @ 5:55 and 38:10. Caught me off guard. (Elaine Chalus, Historian) ...and Phil sounds quite "Cokney" in this episode. 😁 Tennessee, USA 🇺🇸
I’d like to find more about the painting of Francis Popham. I may have spelled the name incorrectly, but I can’t find it. It is the painting featured in the program of the man who was purportedly responsible for this odd construction. If you can help, I’d be grateful. ☮️💜
Definitely..Have you watched a video on UA-cam about the american fishermen who talk exacly like Mick it's so weird and they are 100% born Americans and they still use some olde English words..😊
Yup same I think every English family's did because we only had 4 channels BBC 1 BBC 2 ITV CHANNEL 4 Wow compare that to now where we've got thousands of channels remember that screen test card on TV when it hit 12:Oclock and went off the little girl with her Teddy I think??
I'm in love with the girl in the intro who holds the big wind blown map and looks out over the featureless landscape. Some day we ought to spend some money on a contraption that hits the ground and then listens for the sound. We'd get a three D image of the site in sound transmission.
Seismic reflection is a geophysical technique similar to what you describe. It is mainly used by geologists but I think Time Team have used it once or twice.
As an American living in the distant colony, California, I have no idea why I am so enthralled watching a bunch of delightfully quirky adults digging bric-a-brac from ancient English fields. I suppose it's because Time Team offers such a refreshing, quality contrast to the mind-draining trash that's offered elsewhere. It continues to be a fascinating learning experience and I am hopelessly addicted to the ever-changing content above and below ground (and water) level. What a fabulous body of work!
