  • It's Day Three of Time Team's first brand new episode in a decade. New presenters Dr Gus Casely-Hayford and Natalie Haynes join team members old and new to investigate a prehistoric settlement in Cornwall with mysterious Iron Age underground passages, known as a fogou.
    Armed with new technology, and with help from Site Director James Gossip and the Meneage Archaeology Group, Time Team have just three days to shed light on this fascinating prehistoric site on the Lizard Peninsula. Can they resolve all of their questions on the final day?

    ** ABOUT TIME TEAM **
    Time Team is a British archaeology series that originally broadcast on the UK's Channel 4 for 20 series, and countless specials. Over the years, the team excavated over 220 sites, from back gardens to Buckingham Palace. The show has now returned to UA-cam, thanks to the incredible support of thousands of worldwide fans on Patreon.
    Series 21 (Season 21) of Time Team follows two incredible new digs, each released in extended 3-part episodes exclusively on the Time Team Official UA-cam channel. The first dig explores a mysterious Iron Age site in Cornwall; the second investigates a huge Roman villa on the estate of a Tudor castle in Oxfordshire.

      That's so true, Time Team has been an incredibly valuable program for us too. My partner and I have been watching it here on UA-cam for about 8 years now. We are both disabled due to medical conditions and have issues with depression and anxiety as well. Team Time has been, and still is, a very reliable way for us to find peace and relaxation while being thoroughly entertained and educated at the same time. I wish I could afford to join Patreon but alas at this point in time, especially after all the flooding damage we're having to deal with, it's an a monthly expense I can't cover.

      good point.
      Social work education to observe social development in individuals, families but also community & work groups; inclusion of some debriefing in relaxed time is a good way to enable support, critiques, speculations, planning & further analysis of their day or TT activities.
      This strikes at the very core of human need - to develop safe, mutually beneficial work framed within ongoing relationships; and with similarly interested, yet very different & passionate folks to challenge inflexibility.
      I'm here to seek the strengths of the British people, catch familiar & unheard of lingo, grammar & sub-cultural accents.
      The good spirit & energy of Time Team actually enabled the re-birth of a veteran suffering with PTSD; who b/c it was life changing for him to reconnect to the present world, he went on to study archeology and create archeology opportunities for other veterans.
      as an adult child of generational trauma plus (both world wars, great depression, 1940's immigration from England to Canada) I too find engaging with Time Team always grounds me, the music & characters in the countryside soothes, it's assuredly safe with everyone being an experienced in 3 days of their lives and more. After working their body, knees, arm, wrist & even finger muscles, the pub environment would lighten and brighten up the show, make transparent jovial after thoughts, reflections & puns too.

      Tony eventually learned a lot and his own historical programs today are rather good but when he started he was pretty clueless.
      I think that was actually really good since the viewers learned the same things together with him. Time team probably turned more young people into archaeology and history then anything else before or since.
      It is really great they are back, but it takes a while for those that are new to win the audience over.

      thinking about this redux TT i've been resisting the change and newness. but i like gus - i like his voice and approach. tony and gus are two different people and each is bringing/brought their own style. i like them both - but i'm used to tony so i like him best.

    Having just finished watching Day Three of this fascinating dig, I really, really want to thank the whole team behind and in front of the cameras for this wonderful experience. Like so many fans I have watched the first 20 seasons on Time Team, and I have to admit I was a bit apprehensive how I would feel about the show without some much loved team members. Having watched it, I am actually quite happy with the way things have turned out. In many aspects it is a wonderful continuation of the old format, with the addition of exciting new technology. It was great to see some familiar faces again, and I really like Nathalie and Gus as presenters. They did a very good job, and I think over the next digs (hopefully many more to come) they will all get to know each other better as a team, so at some point we might get back the easy banter and cameraderie that made the old episodes so special. So, after a spectacular start, I can´t wait for the next archaeological adventures of Time Team. It is so wonderful to have you back!

    The three-episode format is so nice...I can't say enough good things about it. 30-60 more minutes per dig allow so much more of the story to be told, and allows for segments like experimental archaology projects to be included without leaving me feeling like something was skipped to make them fit. The UA-cam platform means also that the story itself will determine the length of each episode, not the advertising schedule. Loved it. Sure, I'm going to miss Tony, but it's also clear that Gus is going to be amazing.

    Gus and Natalie were lovely professionals. They did their job brilliantly. As an historian I applaud. Wonderful to see Time Team back. Do we miss Tony? Yes, a bit but he was an actor firstly. If the programme makes it back on MSM TV then no doubt another actor will be hired to bring conflict into the narrative. But this is an archaeological investigation fore-mostly and it answered questions that viewers may have. I enjoyed it. Great effort and well done TEAM 22!

    Just FANTASTIC!!! My wife and I discovered Time Team a couple of years after it's original run, but we just fell in love with it. On Saturday morning I came home from working the night shift. My wife awoke and I said I had a surprise for her. I started playing part 1 (from Friday) and she just got so excited. She said "Wait!! Let me get my coffee", then sat with me as we watched with wide open eyes and giddy, child like excitement. So glad they're back, and so happy to have discovered this show here in the USA 5 years ago. We look forward to the next dig, and many more!

      @POGGIOALSERE 2 роки тому

      Yes, that’s one thing I missed too was the end of the day pub time, that bridged the day, when they would sort of talk about the day’s finds and the day to come. That was a really nice part. Maybe it’s just me but I didn’t really feel there was much partying or camaraderie going on and in that way it’s coming off kind of dry and loses the spark, to be almost rigid. You get the feeling that everybody just goes home and comes back the next day like any other job. There’s lots of archaeological documentaries one can watch these days but what made Time Team special was the way they related to each other with their humor amongst the academia.
      I’m glad it’s back though , so I will keep on watching and maybe it’ll get better. I also liked the former one episode/3 day scenario as when could sense and feel the anticipation and build up of moving towards the third day. It gave it more of a sense of fun excitement. Knowing that of course they would come to a conclusion but sometimes they were surprises in the end. I miss Tony and Phil but time marches on.

    Obviously, it would be absolutely wonderful if Tony and Phil, and also Victor and Mick, and all the others who are missing could be here aswell, enjoying all of this with us and joining the team, sitting together in a pub maybe.
    But again, Time Team still feels like Time Team.

    Just finished day 3 and I have to say you have outdone yourself. Takes a while to get used to the new characters but the inclusion of some of the prior time team members makes it work. Yikes, so many PHDs in one place! Two very minor suggestions. (1.) You need more than 3 days to fully investigate your site. This was a problem carried over from old time team shows. (2.) Who is in charge here? Is it Gus or Natalie? Whether you liked him or not Tony acted as a foil for Stewart, John, Carenza, etc. and knew just enough about archaeology to keep things focused and interesting. If they decide to designate someone to replace Tony I suggest that they might consider one of the females. Carenza, Helen, Danni, Bridgette, etc. are all extremely well qualified .
