For all u new comers, I have watched all 20 seasons 3 times over. The one I like best is when they explain how Doggerland was flooded. Shows that that no matter how much meltwater there is the currents will not stop.
What I find nice about Time Team is the way they always include Ian, the digger operator, as part of the team when other, more sniffy, outfits would just regard him as the hired help.
It's forensic archaeology, kind of like archaeological triage. They are checking sites to see what's there, sometimes to determine if a site is worth scheduling for government protection, often to provide a basis for further excavations by other entities. Sometimes they came in to help on large digs undertaken by other archaeologists who don't have the resources to do everything they would like. At other times they were called in to do a rapid dig on sites that were about to disappear due to development or something else. All of the Time Team participants have regular jobs outside of the time spent doing these shows.
As above. Also, 3 is a good number for an 'hour long' tv slot- back in the day when they would have split that up with 5 minute adverts between each 'day'. Standard back then to do things that fit easily around regular TV advertising.
Cost was also a significant factor. Making TV programmes and doing archaeology, including all of the post-excavation work required, are not particularly cheap activities.
Time for the modern residents of Cleeton to make a multi Billion pound claim for reparations on France. I would think 2,463,582 pounds each would do. How far back do we go for this nonsense. Demand an apology and cancellation of all things French.
I'd love to find a roman mosaic in my paddock.
Prolly not gunna as my paddock is in Australia. 😊

I've heard the currents can no longer circulate do to temperature and dilution.
We care more that the coast flooding is.....😊😊
I just love Mick's hat!😊

Ian is also an arco and digs.
@@bradyelich2745 Hello, are we talking about the same Ian? The older chap? I know that there is another Ian who uses the heavy diggers? Thanks.
Love Phil! He is cute and smart! Love to go to the pub with him!❤️🍀
Phil is now over 70. He is featured in a show about Stonehenge digs. from 2020 is last i seen.
@@bradyelich2745 I would still love to go to pub with him!❤️🍀

@@corallewis3093 Paul had throat cancer and now speaks thru a valve, but he is back on the new shows.

They all had jobs and did this on weekends. Cmon people.
@@bradyelich2745 Thank you for a voice of reason. No hype, no drama, just the facts ❤

Then the French should ask reparations for all the damage the English did during the 100 years war.
@@harrybruijs2614 ... or for the Brexit. That kind of vendetta could last forever so let's not start any...
I think together, Phil and Paul Blinkhorn must be my favour combo. A duo who’s interactions truly represent the real fun of discovery! 🫡
