An elusive Phil sighting confirmed, it is nice to see him still doing what he loves.
This was broadcast 2016, so it's an 8 year old sighting. ;)
He's still working on the project though. I think it ends this year.
Phil is old AF now and put on a ton of weight. You can see him In the new time time podcasts and such but he dosen't dig any more.
I met Phil when I took part in Waterloo Uncovered in 2017. I think I upset him when I said I thought he looked taller on the telly. He said grumpily, " Thats because Tony (Robinson) is really short!"
Really nice to see I’m not the only one who gets excited at a confirmed Phil Harding sighting ❤
The pain suffered by that Royal Navy man with all those painful injuries. Broken clavicle, broken ribs, broken femur broken wrist. Unbelievable pain.
Lower class men exploited to enrich the aristocracy and elites. It really was an awful time.
I bet he developed a healthy opium habit to live with ongoing pain
😂 I’ve had those injuries but the clavicle was by far the worst. (Not the worst pain I’ve felt, those were uterus related but worst pain with broken bones) The doctors were saying they’ve never seen a break overlap that much. They were like Holy Shit! When they saw it. I was 15 and it took a brace to pull my shoulders back but they still fused overlapping together. I was in pain for YEARS. (Judo)
Broke my rib
Broke my nose twice
Concussions
Broke a bone in my foot
My eyeball popped out (kneed in the face continuously while I was blacked out drunk so don’t remember it just woke up in pain looked in mirror and saw two black/blood filled eyes with one out 😂)
Oh and my back is killing me idk if it’s my bed or because I fell off a 3 story scaffolding. Could be both. The new bed and work incident happened around the same time so..
I get told I’m too pretty for these injuries but eh. Shit happens.
Oh and broke my chest bone what’s that called? Not from an injury but open heart surgery when I was 30. That’s a bitch to heal but not bad. I would make the nurse wipe my ass though because I was mad and wasn’t supposed to reach behind me anyway. They like break it and pull it apart to get to the heart. My boobs hurt for weeks after that. But again, been through MUCH worse. I’m now 35. Hopefully that chaotic 7 years of injury filled adulthood is over.
@@rachelkoiksJesus how many mirrors did you break !!… 😪☹️
@@madlenellul3430 I’ve literally asked myself that too I remember when I broke a hand mirror by accidentally stepping on it and thought, “Oh no.. Did I just add 7 more years?!” Because there was a literal shift in my life where everything was smooth/normal and suddenly it wasn’t anymore. Weird, like I was a star on my own version of The Truman Show.
9:16 I love that Phil Harding popping his head in on such a cool dig, this seems like a perfect dig for Phil. But Phil would probably be more happy if they went down past the Waterloo Layer and find some flint objects then it would be an absolutely dream dig for Phil. I need more Phil Harding content in my life.
He has been part of the Waterloo Project since its start. That is why he isn't around on the revamped Time Team
Flint is Phil's passion
@@kevinfoster1138 Always was huh :)
I was so excited to see Phil from Time Team on this show. I would like to have his address so I can write him a fan letter.
Wellington was known for building infrastructure around his preferred battlefield. At the battle of Bussaco he built secret roads behind his line on top of a ridge to rapidly deploy artillery where it was needed most. Then of course he famously managed to build the extensive defensive lines and roads of Torres Vedras without the French knowing, they couldn't get through and eventually had to leave Portugal to Wellington.
So I am not surprised Wellington had roads prepared at Waterloo for rapid troop and supply movement, battlefield preperation was often a large part of his success as a general.
I KNEW that was Phil as soon as I heard the accent.
Professor Robert’s is a British National Treasure!!!!
Professor Roberts, you are the best and the teams that do the work are spectacular.
We all know that a certain Colonel Sharpe single handedly won the battle of Waterloo. Real soldiering.
Ja 😂 and the Irish Sir Wesley - aka Wellington 😅 Kings German Legion 🤔 Prussian Hussars 🤔 No Bluecher 🤔
@@mrkus-nc7od ... They are just facts. But we all know the truth.
Phil Harding and his iconic hat are on the scene!
Phil Harding!
Engelbert Humperdinck!
Thomas Crapper!
@@davidfiler7439 you obviously don't known who Phil is.
What!@@ianscott9396
Why!@@ianscott9396
My grandfather fought aswell a proud Rhodesian Air force ❤
Rhodesian African Rifles
The Spitfire had a great deal more eye appeal than the Hurricane...Wonderful bit about the Battle of Britain...
This is such a great series. Please post more!
Fascinating programme, one of many. Thank you ❤
The Polish piolets had the luxury of training in peace time, for a longer period so they had more experience. With war in Poland and France then Britain. And all of this made them better. and were probably more motivated in the actual killing of Germans. That's why they had an incredible record. TY Poland.
I find this stuff really interesting as I was in England october 1996 and found my surname at Canterbury cathedral monks walkway , west gate Canterbury and Rotchester cathedral, returning to England is on my bucket list and to Ghent , Belgium. 🤔
What an emotional moment when the hurricane flew over!
I’m glad that you added the last one in this video. Everyone played a part in that awful war
The illustration of the London show 2 not 3 masts which is a surprise!
The conversation suggests that the gunpowder was not in the magazine where it would be relatively safe!
No Linstocks would have been lit unless they were fireing their guns
The Polish Air Force at the time had a much higher standard when it came to teaching their pilots to fly. Almost akin to a university education. This made them realise quite early on that the distance required to shoot down a plane with the .303 machine guns was 100yards and not 400yards as was the norm for the RAF pilots.
I hope that isn't Phil's waterloo...
Phil!
The locals stripped stinking bodies, pulled out teeth and then buried them? After Waterloo, more than 27K tons of human/animal bones from the Napoleonic battlefields were imported through the port of Hull to be processed into fertilizer. The young soldiers had good teeth and these were used to make dentures, these were called "Waterloo teeth". The British were called the vampires of Europe at the time. The 20K skeletons mentioned date from the Roman era up to the mid-19th Century, I wonder if this technique was used before in England.
Didn't Wellington pass through the area years before the battle and recognise the perfect defensive position?
I would love to discover every season of Digging for Britain! Anyone able to direct me?
I remember when Alice (with pink hair) and Matt were young archaeology students working with Phil on time team.
Will there be a Dame Alice Roberts someday?
Oh, please don't start a UA-cam Dame Roberts campaign. It's just too cringeworthy to witness.
Oh, please. With all the crap flowing through UA-cam, please do not start a UA-cam campaign for this. It's just too shoddy a venue for that. Absolutely cringeworthy.
@@ingridseim1379yt campaign? Is... That how it all works? I don't find someone who wrote a cringy comment twice reliable regarding either cringe or how yt works.
I do not understand where they get the idea that the coin showing the christian symbolism is a plea to the vickings. It might be just this years design. To much speculation.
I thought the sunken road was no secret? Private Brewster....the bloody courageous legend who galloped up and resupped the lads with ammo from his limber
That woman's vanity included part of a tooth from a presumed slayed elephant, perhaps that should have been mentioned too
The Waterloo Uncovered stuff is from 2015
Why is Alice Roberts describing dental work as 'vanity'?
These days we regard dentistry as essential!
She didn't.
@@davidfiler7439 she did, also whilst entirely entitled to her opinions, some of those 'opinions' are a little 'unusual' & open to debate in a nation which relishes debate.
Dental work however crude & ineffective remains Dental work & replacement teeth might have been obtained from some other animal such as a sheep.
Wooooosh! @@pcka12
Vikings....nobody ever explains WHY Britain was so comparatively wealthy?
Primarily tin.
That's 20 thousand graves robbed!
Is it archeology...
or is it grave robbery and defiling the dead?
...I am disturbed by that question.
Hard to watch the amateurs dig through those coins like pirates.
Thats 20 thousand skeletons that should be buried and not placed in a box.
Suprise they did dig around the coin container first
The ditched ship
Bluecher's victory at Waterloo... Where's the Prussian expert on this battle? Without them, Wellington loses, runs back to Brussels, Antwerp and then sails back to Britain! BTW, I thought I heard Phil Harding's voice! Hey Phil! Lookin' Good buddy!
The Hurricanes in the BOB were better suited to attacking German bombers than to go toe to toe with German fighter aircraft like the Me-109-E. Despite the fact that these poles really just exchanged one dictator for another, Hitler for Stalin and never returned home again his familily no doubt led a better 1st world life in the UK than the life they likely would have have had living in Poland for the next 50 years under the Communists. This was the collective story of Central and Eastern Europe and WW2 generally. It never really gained Poland much at all until Communism fell and fighting that war beyond July of 1940 just ended with the loss of the British Empire and the bankrupting Great Britain. Historians have known for a very long time that there was never any serious thought given by the Germans to launching an amphibious landing/attack on the UK at all. The peace terms offered to the British demanded nothing except an end to the fighting. This is why the details of the German peace offer remained hidden from the British public until 2008. Most Britons today remain under the illusion that they saved Europe from NS Germany by coninuing the war. It wasn't like that. The only winners were the USSR and the USA, everybody else lost. This WW2 opinion is not a popular one but after 50 years of studying it all, it's mine. Ah, but nobody can predict the future! I enjoyed the show, especially the parts with the old "Time Team" Superstar members. Phil, Matt and yes Alice too! Keep it up.
Weren't Bluecher's unbeatable Prussians defeated by the French days before Waterloo? 😂
@@teviottilehurst Yup, then the French let Bluecher slip away and show up at Waterloo at exact;ly the wrong moment to win the battle for the Allies.
@@karlheinzvonkroemann2217 win??? 😆
Would point out that had the allied army not held the ground until late afternoon the Prussians would have arrived too late to do anything -no one section of the allies won single-handedly but it was a combined effort.
@@mariantaylor7109 Had it not rained the night before the French would have won handily. The Allies were beaten when the Prussians arrived.
Confirmed Phil sighting!😊 Good to see Matt. And Dr. Roberts gets to wear a nice dress.
Yes, the Romans were THUGS.
It's such a pleasant surprise, seeing a Time Team member pop up in the sidelines of some of the digs in this series. Even though the first sighting of Phil was from behind, & he wasn't wearing his particular Time Team hat, it was instantly & unmistakably him. After repeated watching of every episode, over decades, the team is permanently imprinted on my brain. 😄 I'm quite sure i'm far from being the only one that can immediately recognize a Time Team member from a stance, a few steps or a voice. 😀
Wowman wool 🦙
🥰 oi oi oi
That is a great metal detecting scene, so much history, and beauty. And "sound money" i.e. silver and gold is always a pleasure to see, before the times of "the great taking" through "money" printing and fractional reserve banking. Thankfully my stack is a reasonable size.
Why would a French victory have been inevitable if the French had taken hougoumont? It had little tactical significance, was simply an advance post to break up the French advance. Had the French taken it they would still have had to take the British right and centre that was heavily defended anyway.
As the outcome showed, in the end, the British balls were certainly bigger! MB.
😄😆😂 Priceless comment. 👌🏼
30.18 Nayone nays what caused that explaysion. Bloody diction is atrocious
ah! the English had bigger balls!
How old does a grave have to be before you can call it archaeology and not grave robbing? This is a bunch of Ivy League grave robbers calling it archaeology. Instead of letting this happen and letting these people make their own rules, there should be laws against digging up remains and taking their treasure that was buried with them. This should not be celebrated.
BOOOO to Bonaparte! 👎😡😠
What is she doing with her vowels?
Trying. 😂😂
My theory is her almost permanent smile creates a lip shape which makes it easier to ‘almost lisp’ (Michael Moseley has the same tendency in smile and speech!). Try ‘smile speaking’ and you’ll find it easier to get their sounds.
Totally unsubstantiated theory, from an Aussie who was told as a kid that our accent was partly cos we keep our mouth almost shut when talking to keep out the flies!
She comes from the Bristol area
There's no britian anymore,now its britanistan a muslim country,sad.
Stop talking rot. Population of UK is 67 million. Muslim population is less than 4 million. Since there are 2 billion Muslims in the world that’s way way lower than the global average. And if all of those were in London it means that London with a population of 17 million still has 75% of the population who are not Muslim. And they aren’t all in London by any means.
You are just an islamaphobe
The are half a million Jews in the UK of a population of 16 million Jews world wide. That means a FAR larger percentage of the world population of Jews live in the UK than Muslims. 1/32 th of all Jews live in the UK but only 1/500 th of all Muslims. Not a problem to me for either but doesn’t mean there’s a take over going on…
Silly bigoted nonsense, sad.
Move on chook.
The woman who introduced needs to go back to acting school and lose the overdone excitement
Interesting how thin those coins are, pennies I assume, but with verdigris? Was there copper in the silver?
Oh what beautiful coins at 21.30.
oh boy this is just excellent
NOt sure about the bodies being disposed of by farmers, blood and bone is great fertiliser as has been well attested by farmers for aeons.
We need lady comments, the make sense :)
Not sure who this woman is who thinks Waterloo was just French and British. Not even an amateur historian, does she have any education?
23:04 I find it interesting the suits of those chaps, and shirts, look rather expensive. I assume they are public employees? Surely we can pay them 50% less, the charlatans (like climate religionist psychopathic profiteers) will go away and we can have genuine enthusiasts? Who work for love, not money?
That's a wonderful hoard Len. I wonder why women don't metal detect?, is it because it is too difficult, boring and dirty. Yep, get back into those offices where you can invent pay gap myths instead of being down the mines or on oil rigs.
