the landowner is such a wonderful person... she called in the team to verify the place if its really one of king john's palace so that the place can be listed and be protected even if she's not around... surely she cared for the place and its rich history... what a lady ❤
I love that Palaces were the Medieval equivalent of Shopping Malls. Dominated the area they were in for a decade or two , then died, then became this awkward bit of property no one knew what to do with and then eventually demolished.
32:32 I love how John just laid out his results in Geophysics like a badass after Phil was calling him out🤣 they all went from bickering and teasing John to: "ooooohhhh😲" but when John said "eat your own words" it was chef's kiss cherry on top
Phil is my hero. So much enthusiasm and so much profound knowledge richly garnished with great Englush sense of humour 👏👏👏 thank you, Time Team and thank you Phil Harding 👑
This show is my safey safe. When I've had a rough or tiring day at work, I know I can come home and watch this great show that's so entertaining without being wild and crazy. My favorite is when I put it on while taking care of my 2 highly energetic step-daughters (8 & 6). They sit on the floor quietly staring at the TV, almost entranced. It's the quietest they have ever been. Lol.
You can tell these guys like each other and enjoy each other’s company. “What are you doing down there? i didnt hear you ask permission to get in there at all!” Then phil proceeds to educate him. Its the chemistry that made this show successful.
Always loved these shows. Whenever I need to wind down or get my mind of the chaos in the world, I fix a favorite adult beverage and tune in to Time Team.
John Sander Gosh I didn’t even realize that. I thought when they uploaded ‘new’ videos once in a while, the show was still active. Indeed a great shame it ended.
@Brisdad53 When this SERIES started with the new cast, I left the show after after one episode. Couldn't stand the new girl. Also the exclusion of most of the original crew made me not watching TT again. So sad that Time Team now seems focus to upload a lot of series 19.
Hahaha 32:11 I love how Tony just pokes the bear! He’s such a stirrer. I wonder how much of this type of banter was scripted or characterised so that the dialogue and relationships could become a ‘feature’ of this amazing show.
Tony may not be around any more but he really is GREAT ATWHAT HE DOES.I really get a chuckle out of what he says and his personality really quite a character really a likable guy I bet
I missed a lot of what they're saying because I'm unfamiliar with their colloquialisms and dialect, but I enjoyed this despite of that. History is very interesting to me. As a young girl, I wanted to be an archaeologist, but realized I don't tolerate hot weather very well, so I'm not cut out for that line of work. I'm appreciative of the pros!
AT LAST! After years of searching after having seen it once, I now find the episode I remember most because of one, singular word. DESULTORY [des·ul·to·ry - /ˈdesəlˌtôrē/ - adjective : lacking a plan, purpose, or enthusiasm; occurring randomly or occasionally. The exchange which occurs at 15:25 perfectly and elegantly sums up the affectionate and academic onscreen rivalry between Tony and Phil.
@Thomas Bell haha I've also noticed it used in several episodes. I think it is his favorite $5 word. Also "promontory" is another favorite he uses often.
Three days and they only get 2 joining walls, and they "confirm" its a chapel. Three days would be a nightmare for any archeologists to be able to really verify anything.
Loving these episodes. Watching and rewatching Time Team (and Dig Ventures!!!) has pulled me through the lockdown. Many thanks for the posts from a grateful retiree in Berlin.

*John Grytbakk* The great hunting forests of the *Normans* weren't what most people would call _forests_ today. They were mostly open woodland to allow hunting on horseback rather than heavily wooded areas where trees were cropped for wood. They covered most of *England.*
These guys are so well informed, good hearted and so energetic.. aside from the variety of shows they have created! I love the series! I am 67 and found history a bore.. now I am on the edge of my own grave.. fascinating to see what happened in The elders of British past , with understanding of the life style, politics,
What an interesting episode. I have special interest in Nottinghamshire because it's where a lot of my ancestors came from. The interesting point is that they're all Irish. (still trying to figure that one out, so I'm trying to dig more and more into this part of England's history.
@@philaypeephilippotter6532 True, but you can't get enough of a good thing and I guess I'm selfish. There is so much to learn and so few programs are of this quality nowadays. Thanks for the comeback.
I love the slow curbing of expectations on this show. On day one they're all like "oh mah god we're gonna find a castle!" then by day 3, something they might have scoffed at on day 1 ends up being like the greatest thing ever
these are some of my favorite shows. it is a damn shame that my country (USA) doesn't show this much regard for its history. i have so much respect for the British and the fact that they show so much reverence for their past. wonderful, just wonderful.
A highly enjoyable series! My congratulations! Highly interesting to follow the applied strategy of this highly knowledgable archeologists. I wish this team could once work at our Canadian site on Oak Island. Our Canadian archeologists lack the knowledge and experience with medieval European culture for understandable reason, we simply don’t have this history, with now one exception OAK ISLAND.👍👏👏👏🙏🙏🇨🇦
Huh? There's no medieval archaeology on Oak Island. Only L'Anse aux Meadows has anything close to that time period, and it's pretty well researched already.
G'day my elders daughter Amber and myself we are watching the Time Team from all the way down under from Mount Gambier in the State Of South Australian and our 24th times Great Grandfather was King John I. 🥇🇦🇺🦘⚜️👑⚜️🏴🇬🇧
Medieval Castles (and some stone buildings) usually had a covering plaster skim-coat (sometimes concrete, or lime & aggregate) on their walls, to protect the stones and mortar. It could even be coloured, or painted. In Scotland, the protective coating is called harling, as some lived-in castles still have, such as Craigievar Castle.
Tv people: So is this a hunting lodge? Professional archaeologist: It's a high status building. Tv people: So our hunting lodge... Time Team in a nutshell.
I love the idea when someon talking to experts seem to make an assessment based on vague evidence (on purpose, surely) like Tony saying "there is nothing here" or Mary-Ann "so this says King's hunting lodge?" and the answer is something like "no, it just says what we are seeing by now" or "only because you don't know what it is it doesn't mean it is what you think it is". Because it comes to show that in science you cannot take anything for granted biased on your own beliefs or wishes.
The fallen or slumped wall.... Consider the pyramids - locals stripped the beautiful marble off the sides and robbed chambers to glorify their shop / home. So the wall might be a field wall or another house... Love the Time Team !
There is a pile of rubble no doubt. But I think that people around used good chunk of that rubble for building their own homes. That's usually what happens.
A robber with a hood....A Hooded robber: A Robing hood! The key to the origins of this folk hero. So simple, it is amazing for how long people are drawn to a fantastic character, instead of using their own language for clues.
Richard wanted to spend his time doing crusades. He married because he had to, and shot through. Many say he was gay, and crusading around with no women was his idea of happiness. Then he was captured and held hostage. John was ruling as more of a Regent, but then tried to make it official. He did some good things, but he had a bad temper, destroyed a lot of respect he needed. Have a google for some documentaries.
If you wanted to find something in that site, the whole archaeological crew of the department of antiquity should have been put to work for years-then you would bring back the like of Buckingham Palace
Phil's accent is... Britarican? Maybe with a bit of Scottish, so Ambrottish...? Or maybe Australian, so Brausterican? 🤔 He's definitely my favorite character!!! 😂🤣
He has the typical accent of a worzel gummidge character from Devon / south West England. Zero Scots. Australian is Irish/English. Canadian is Scots/English.
It saves SOOOOO much time! And it's also much more detailed!! I've had someone I know through my local history group use it to scan a couple of sites for me, really came in handy! You can actually access the software free online, and then you have to learn how to use it. I'm going to be doing that soon, and then scanning a site I've been wanting to learn more about so I can confirm a find!
*Ya know, sometimes "change" just has to be endured...* (When Producers try to make perfection more Marketable, usually to those whom won't be watching anyway, and wouldn't likely resonate with it anyway".) Ya just have to "wait it out". 😉
So...now that half the palace is incorporated into village houses, gardens and walls, they want the piddling remains to be scheduled and protected. Hmm. Words such as barn door, locking, horse is stolen and after occur to me.
I would've loved to be around them when the camera's were off... I can imagine it sounds like a bunch of sailors sometimes, though all in good fun haha
This show isn't really Time Team. It is a sort of shabby shadow of the show after TV managers got hold of it and made it "accessible" ie, dumbed down. Watch the old ones !
22:45 I don't understand why they don't put in a trench right next to the lower right extent of the wall, because there's a massive return there on the geo-phys just to the left of that section of wall. It looks quite like the other side of the building. Then there's also what looks like the corner of a building just below that area. Instead they're digging further afield. Love Mick but sometimes I feel like he's making strange decisions on where to dig.
Love Time Team. But this Maryann person, totally not connecting at all. Loved the OG Geek style. Much better and gives it more authentication and much more honesty. Tony is even getting into it and he has a genuine interest. Putting Maryann in there maybe was a ploy to get viewership a certain age demographic. This is just my opinion.
The show doesn’t even need tony... he doesn’t actually do anything and normally has no clue whatsoever of what people are talking about or what is going on... also tries to rush the archeologists and get them to just rip crap out of the ground which would be highly destructive.. also he is more worried about “new” and “firsts” more than anything else to the point that he will push the ideas with zero actual evidence.... and don’t even get me started on how he treats dead and buried bodies and his lack of respect for them “ just pull it out”
@@amandajstar i do...and normally "hosts" or hosts for a reason and actually are normally one of the most knowledgeable if not the most knowledgeable people on the show... not just some random idiot who everyone laughs at and actual archeologists and archeology students smilrj and laugh at behind his back lol
@@richardgrace4500 You clearly have never heard Robinson interviewed, or anyone else about his role. His job was to stand in for the viewer who had 'stupid' questions about what the archaeologists were doing. It's very simple, really. Not to mention the fact that Robinson has charm and is part of the delightfulness of the show. He is the anchor, the person that brings it all together.
Everybody complains about the Alex and Mary-Ann additions without understanding that the show was likely losing viewership demographics and needed to replace them with viewers that weren't especially curious about the technical aspects of archaeology. Thus, including the two new professionals from related disciplines to act out things which were abstractly discussed in previous series made practical sense. I revere Professor Aston, but if it's either "dumb the show down"[a little bit] or lose the show entirely, which would you rather? Alas, the dust-up over this change did, in an ironic turn, effect that end. I'm a YT viewer from the States not sentimentally tied to "Time Team" because I'd never heard of it before a month ago, and though I've grown to love the show, I really don't understand the whining.
Phil's enthusiasm is the best- he makes archaeology fun and friendly - no matter how little or much they find he sees it as a learning opportunity
Phill is my favorite! Mic is right up there too may he RIP.
the landowner is such a wonderful person... she called in the team to verify the place if its really one of king john's palace so that the place can be listed and be protected even if she's not around... surely she cared for the place and its rich history... what a lady ❤
❤Mickey Bradley, the home owner..."made safe even after I am not here" what a lovely and (rare) sentiment.
I love that Palaces were the Medieval equivalent of Shopping Malls. Dominated the area they were in for a decade or two , then died, then became this awkward bit of property no one knew what to do with and then eventually demolished.

So...now that half the palace is incorporated into village houses, gardens and walls, they want the piddling remains to be scheduled and protected. Hmm. Words such as barn door, locking, horse is stolen and after occur to me.
Maybe they should reclaim all the stones they find, tearing down walls left and right.

@@amandajstar i do...and normally "hosts" or hosts for a reason and actually are normally one of the most knowledgeable if not the most knowledgeable people on the show... not just some random idiot who everyone laughs at and actual archeologists and archeology students smilrj and laugh at behind his back lol
@@richardgrace4500 You clearly have never heard Robinson interviewed, or anyone else about his role. His job was to stand in for the viewer who had 'stupid' questions about what the archaeologists were doing. It's very simple, really. Not to mention the fact that Robinson has charm and is part of the delightfulness of the show. He is the anchor, the person that brings it all together.
Everybody complains about the Alex and Mary-Ann additions without understanding that the show was likely losing viewership demographics and needed to replace them with viewers that weren't especially curious about the technical aspects of archaeology. Thus, including the two new professionals from related disciplines to act out things which were abstractly discussed in previous series made practical sense. I revere Professor Aston, but if it's either "dumb the show down"[a little bit] or lose the show entirely, which would you rather? Alas, the dust-up over this change did, in an ironic turn, effect that end. I'm a YT viewer from the States not sentimentally tied to "Time Team" because I'd never heard of it before a month ago, and though I've grown to love the show, I really don't understand the whining.
