Rest in peace Mick Aston, Robin Bush and Victor Ambrus. Thank you for all the great memories and your contributions to archaeology, history, art and science.
Great to see Carenza again, massive RIP to Mick Aston but also I'd like to give a big RIP to another person who I felt was awesome on the show , Robin Bush
I love this group, but what the hell? The mic was taken from Carenza and all of the guys seemed just fine with passing it on to the other men and knocking her out of line.
It took me 6 months to watch all the 20 years of "Time Team". I'm in the USA and constantly promote Time Team. I tell my coworkers, friends, and family. It is just amazing.
I, too, have spent many months viewing Time Team episodes to help get through these very strange times; becoming immersed in something I wish I could have done as a career is so satisfying and frustrating. Cheers from Wisconsin, USA.
Im lucky enough to have lived in the uk and seen time team from the start. I emigrated to Spain in 2010 and discovered the programmes I had missed on You Tube during covid. I have also discovered a whole new type of archaeology in my new country. Thrilled with the patreon funded new digs.
I can’t even remember the first time I saw Time Team, but it was donkey’s years ago. I have many of the few Time Team DVDs produced, and now re-watch all the Time Team on UA-cam. I have aged along with my friends on Time Team and have laughed along with them at all the in jokes…such a good time! I’ve worked on both archaeological and paleontological digs and have a real fellow feeling with the Team. At 77, with mobility issues now, I really appreciate being able to join these digs, even if it’s only virtually these days! Thanks to Mick, Tony, Phil, Helen, Stewart, John, et al for sharing these programs with me.
@Rad Derry I think this article explains what @Rad Derry is talking about. www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2015/07/15/how-ancient-artifacts-looted-during-the-iraq-invasion-turned-up-in-the-house-of-an-islamic-state-leader/
I have been binge watching TIME TEAM for the three months of Covid lockdown. I have grown to love and admire all of the characters and their discoveries . Wonderful stuff!
As an American of New England, I discovered Time Team during the pandemic. I thought of Mick as an uncle who seemed easy going and could fit in with any group of people but once he got talking such wisdom would have come out. Much love and respect from a woman from Rhode Island, U.S.A. BTW I still follow Phil with Wessex and Waterloo
Mick’s chief skill for me in Time Team was his ability to prioritise the work. He had the ability to say yes and no and could be swayed by a valid argument. But do it in a such way where he got buy-in from all. That is the skill of a true leader.
I’ve seen just about all the episodes, and most more than once. Archaeology was my first great love, but I allowed myself to be turned away. Still, my bookshelves groan under 50+ years of readings from all over the world on this dark art. Now in retirement, I”m looking for ways to learn hands-on and contribute. My body tells me I’m well past my true love of digging, but still there should be other ways. I’m hoping I find some!
So nice to see the old gang back together again and hear the interaction and the banter between them that made the show so special. The only ones missing are Raksha and Bridg. Thanks for putting this up it was a real pleasure to watch.
Mick's legacy was making archaeology accessible in layman's terms. His particular talent was simply making it comprehensible, interesting, engaging, and fun. Vale Mick. We miss you.
I too have worked my way through much of TT from here in America. How wonderful it is. What an extraordinary cast of human beings were assembled. I am not sure if such an distinguished assemblage has ever been presented on television before or since. This band of brothers and sisters mean so much, to so many of us. It felt like we were sharing adventures with mates. If only I could figure out how to get a TT ring tone on my iPhone! Thank you all so much.
They really were. I used to have a bit of a rough time at school so Sunday evenings weren't an especially happy time for me. But Time Team used to take me away from all that and they really did come to feel like a group of eccentric friends (Time Team was broadcast on Sunday evenings in the UK I should explain).
A one liner I will always remember "I don't know anybody with roman remains in their garden" Phill. The strange thing is that Time Team showed all of us that finding remains in the garden is not so rare.
Timeteam made many people interested in the subject. It taught more english history than i learned at school. It truly taught the basics of the whole subject. Frankly, as a viewer, i have no idea why you quit. Your viewers miss your program, and the whole team especially mick as he was such an interesting person to listen to.
As a non Briton I have only stumbled upon Time Team in the last few months on UA-cam and I thoroughly enjoy the journey I'm on, learning about mans history in a small part of the world.
I binged on Time Team from beginning to end, even after Mick departed; and there were too many favorite moments, especially the Roman tessellated floors, but my favorite was the one where at some castle somewhere, in a ditch was a golden Henry V coin that hadn't seen the light of day for 600 years or so and the man who found it was literally shaking with delight.
Thank you from South Africa. You wonderful people have brought archeology right into my lounge. I have pursued Time Team passionately now, often in the wee hours of the morning and have been absolutely delighted in all the discoveries. I take my hat off to you all. And as for Tony ... what a gem. Best regards
Mick Aston did a lot for youngsters interested in history archaeology, the YAC Young Archaeologists Club. Time team will continue to be watched , just like I watched Mortimer Wheeler ( pre ww2) talking about excavating verulamium, or other sites , its interesting to see the differences from pre war to today Archaeology has changed quite a lot in the 30 years since I graduated & have been excavating . Pick n shovel, as Phil says that won't change, But majority of digs in my area now are *rescue digs , frustrating because we have to stick to the footprint & depths of the proposed new building. My first 20 years most digs were in the field, digging to answer questions, where an assumed few weeks to excavate a cremation burial ends up taking years bc another burial with grave goods ,& a villa we didn't know about & a bathhouse/ sauna, & a very well built Roman road lead to the farm estate. Plus ditches , middens etc.
1:16 will it be around in 15 years time? Hopefully stronger than ever, can't wait for the new shows. And in the meantime I'm very happily watching all the series all over again. Wonderful television.
Thank you Time Team-much appreciation and love from a new country envious of Britain's long history, so well brought to life by the TimeTeam! I bet Mick burried something to be dug up in the future to mystify everyone ☺ A special thank you also to Tony Robinson -so much love and gratitude not only for bringing history to the masses but also for your self irreverent humour which has made me laugh throughout my life. But please, please will someone discover the exact site of Boudiccas last stand against the Romans ??????
It warms the heart to see the Time Teamers all together again, even if to pay last respects for a fallen member. Everyone will one day become a part of the archeological record, to once more give excitement to a future digger. And no doubt some joker amongst them will order beer glasses to be arranged ritually around their coffin, to ensure that future digger has the proper context.
Holy cow I would faint being in that room. WOW! As a kid I was obsessed with Louis Leakey, but finding this group on Time Team is just so much better! I mean just FASCINATING people. Thank you for your knowledge & humor! Stay safe.
Can't say enough positive things about Time Team and these fine folks. In an instant world the importance of seeing how deep our past is and how real our ancestors and their lives were cannot be underestimated. Incredibly fine efforts by all.
And i simply cannot imagine there not being a market for a new version Time Team. It’ll be different, how could it not be? But advances in the field, lab and museums are drawing new questions and answers. Still, nothing teaches like visuals, and well-crafted, if expensive, programs like TT did that beautifully.
So glad to have discovered TimeTeam! I’ve been binge watching it for the past few months. I’m amazed I never had a clue about this show when it was on the air. But it started in the mid 90’s when I graduated high school. Now at 45 I have been absolutely amazed with the show!! All of the team members passions for archeology his so heartwarming. Really made me feel as I was there on the digs!! Being all the way over here in America and knowing of some of my ancestry. And they came from England Scotland and Ireland made me feel I was there all those ages ago. ❤️❤️❤️. All love to Mick and to the rest of the crew!!!
@@AutomatedPersonnelUnit_3947 - He was a self-avowed atheist. Tony Robinson has spoken about it. Yet, his greatest interest was churches of the dark ages. Maybe his emotional detachment helped him to be analytical about them.
The massive amount of interest so many people still have in time team is a sure sign that it could be produced again. I think the ratings would be much higher now than in the past even.
Ihave watched this a few times now and it’s just so darn good to see everyone together and listen to them reminiscing it only about Mick but their favorite finds. Just a great group! RIP also to the fantastic artist that was with them almost from the beginning. I can’t believe I can’t recall his name! Someone fill it in please!
Oh, how I loved this. For the first time seeing Time Team this winter, binge watching, finding out of Micks death. I am so glad, that you honoured this way
I loved time team and remember getting a lot of glum looks from other people who just didn’t get it. It was compelling watching and it was great to see the gang back together again. It’s like having a band reunion and remembering their greatest hits. Bring back Time a Team!
Never heard of time team, but found it about 4 months ago on UA-cam. They were a great team, been lots of fun to watch and ggreatcontent. The time was ripe for them, when they came along, doubt it will ever be again. I think 20 years from now new people will still be finding and enjoying them!
"Time Team" is "Cosmos" for archaeology -- I've only just found it, and I'm absolutely bingeing it. I LOVE this show -- absolutely love it. It bothers me that academic archaeologists rip on it; I've got multiple degrees in the physical sciences, and physicists and astronomers did the same thing to Carl Sagan. And in both cases, the Time Team folks and Sagan inspired millions and shoveled several generations of free labor to academic office doors in the shape of eager grad students.
I agree that Robin Bush added immeasurably to Time Team. No one replaced him. I would also mention the contributions of Peter Reynolds, who died much too young. Same age as Mick Aston, I believe.
Thank you so very much for having posted this, I so much miss them all, even their on-off camio's on "Digging for Britton", (to which I am now watching Feb/2012 on my television, TVOntarion, Canada) over the years, it is nice to see them all in the same place at 1 time..Time Team has opened more back yards to new/old discoveries, dug up more farmers Fieldsto discover all sorts of unknown history, and thanks to viewers like you posting all you can for those of us from different countries to enjoy watching, Time Team shall live on, and still educate up and coming future archaeologists..
My vote would be to start up a new Time Team series with NO changes to the style. Do not hype it up, do not try to make it more sexy or more commercial. The short lived American version was more interested in the quirkiness of the various archeologist and history experts. It was short on basics and too much about speed and flash.
Phil as shape as a railroad spike :) About time there was a Q&A. Time Team, is taken on a life of its own. You can tell how popular the show is. Just say the word Barbed wire and everyone knows what your talking about.
What an astonishing line-up of talent were assembled for Time Team, and there are others who are not at this terrific presentation (perhaps they are in the audience). Britain's future is assured when it's past is in such capable hands.
I too found time team only months ago, but vaguely recall watching it when i visited my dad. Thank you time team for instilling a sense of importance regarding knowing our history.
My Silvaculture prof in college taught us basic landscape archaeology. We had to learn how to suggest a plan for harvesting and planting trees. Thus professor was big at first at judging into an area and gauging what could be done there for maximum results. He was against cookie cutter approaches and walk the area to see if it was previous used for other activities. We would find milk cans and learned that beech trees are in a circular arrangement as they develop as root suckers from a mother tree in the center.
Yes, Time Team will be around in 15 years. I share the discovery, no pun intended, with folks I know. No, Phil, I do not believe most of y’all will be pushing up daisies in 2033. I love you guys. I won’t share my favorites, but I will say that Carenza’s absence was keenly missed. Also, as every comment about Phil has said, his enthusiasm for his craft is so inviting. Tony, you don’t need accolades as you are such a beloved public figure. Mick, I miss seeing your sweater and similar items, but I also miss your commitment to archeology. I’m an American and former English teacher, and I hate hearing folks say “amount” for “number.” Petty perhaps, but in a way, I’m glad…I probably shouldn’t say more! Phil, I knew you would be chomping at the bit to speak when the young lady asked about being an archaeologist. You are a born teacher who wants to share your passion with others. I hope the light of your passion shines through not just for your lifetime, long live you, but for time immemorial.
This has been a joy to watch and I most sincerely hope there are lots and lots more "gather and talk" scenarios like this (with and without audience as they wish). Very interesting and emotionally comforting to see so many of the cast gathered together.
What I most want are follow-ups to the TT shows. The man who invested in land for development and bones were found...what happened there? There were several shows that ended with more questions than answers. New shows would be great, but follow-ups would make a nice special show.
Why did Tony take the mic away from Carenza, and then passed it on to others? There are only two women on this panel and nothing against the fine fellows, who I admire, but diversity is so important these days, we need to hear a balance of voices. Which reminds me, I wish that Rakshah could have been up there.
I can see storage would be a problem. But instead of filling museum basements. Put them in there local environment. In council buildings. Schools.. hotel receptions. Anywhere that local people will see there local archeology. A simple cabinet would be enough.
What the American woman said should be enhanced so people can hear it. She said what I would have said about the continuing appeal of TT (and the fact that the internet is still bringing it to new audiences;) and particularly the fact that, for a lot of us, what made the show special (and what would make it SO DIFFICULT to recreate) is the personalities, the sense of cameraderie, or even of family, among the team members. They're delightful people, and a TT reboot would need to find that perfect combination of expertise, dedication, and personality. I think Mick was, to a great extent, the architect of the mix, of getting the right people into the team, but even if he wasn't, I think you'd still need a Mick to make it happen. Not that no one else is as visionary, or as inspiring (although he was quite gifted in both respects.) It's just that there was such a perfect confluence of factors in the creation of Time Team, it was the place where a need and the means of its fulfillment arrived at the same place at the same time. In other words, it was magic. And Mick was its Merlin.
As a huge history and archeology nut in the USA, time team has been my surrogate fix of both since we here in the States, both government and people, don't seem to care or want to hide the truth from the public.
Interesting to see the Team several years on. I've seen every episode of TT at least 10 times and regret its passing. Sunday afternoons miss something now. Keep bashing on people, unravelling our great British history.
I don't get their duality of "Make archaeology accessible to everyone, not just snooty upper-class intellects" and then "Brexit sure was bad, we need foreigners!". You'd think studying Britain's history would make them realize Britain's survived even before there was an EU.

5 years since this was filmed & TT is STILL very relevant - cheers from Tampa!
I have been binge watching TIME TEAM for the three months of Covid lockdown. I have grown to love and admire all of the characters and their discoveries . Wonderful stuff!
Ck out Time Signs as well..
Where is it available to watch?
@@ek8710 They have their own youtube chanel :) with new digs with some new and old faces!
As an American of New England, I discovered Time Team during the pandemic. I thought of Mick as an uncle who seemed easy going and could fit in with any group of people but once he got talking such wisdom would have come out. Much love and respect from a woman from Rhode Island, U.S.A. BTW I still follow Phil with Wessex and Waterloo
Imagine if politicians behaved like these humble inquisitive people. What a wonderful world it would be.
Mick Aston was and is a Gem of a human. Thank goodness and UA-cam for allowing us to enjoy these adventures from Episode 1 on... blessed
Viewing on the final days of 2023 - loved the show (which I am just now watching) - was sad to learn Mick had passed.
Fantastic. Bring back Time Team!!!!!
Mick’s chief skill for me in Time Team was his ability to prioritise the work. He had the ability to say yes and no and could be swayed by a valid argument. But do it in a such way where he got buy-in from all. That is the skill of a true leader.
Who would have thought that we can all watch the episodes on UA-cam today !!!!!
I’ve seen just about all the episodes, and most more than once. Archaeology was my first great love, but I allowed myself to be turned away. Still, my bookshelves groan under 50+ years of readings from all over the world on this dark art. Now in retirement, I”m looking for ways to learn hands-on and contribute. My body tells me I’m well past my true love of digging, but still there should be other ways. I’m hoping I find some!
This is wonderful! Thank you!
And, yes, let’s hope the politicians come to their senses!
With out Time Team on UA-cam the Lockdown would have been a lot harder Many Thanks to all concerned.
So nice to see the old gang back together again and hear the interaction and the banter between them that made the show so special. The only ones missing are Raksha and Bridg. Thanks for putting this up it was a real pleasure to watch.

My vote would be to start up a new Time Team series with NO changes to the style. Do not hype it up, do not try to make it more sexy or more commercial. The short lived American version was more interested in the quirkiness of the various archeologist and history experts.
It was short on basics and too much about speed and flash.
where the fook is Raksha? shes my fave
Mine too
She laughed too goddamn much.
Phil as shape as a railroad spike :) About time there was a Q&A. Time Team, is taken on a life of its own. You can tell how popular the show is. Just say the word Barbed wire and everyone knows what your talking about.
Is barbed wire the episode where the sword was found on top of barbed wire, proving it was deliberately put there within 20 years
@@lindadillon3061 Yes, that's the one.
It's great to hear so many of Time Team gathered together giving their thoughts, things that have not recorded on the documentaries.
No more tax, thanks, Helen!
One thing I admire about the British is the way they respectfully talk get their point across and how they respectfully treat other people. (not
Running time of 54 minutes is not long enough to enjoy this!!
I thought 54 minutes way too short. It could have easily been triple that time.
What an astonishing line-up of talent were assembled for Time Team, and there are others who are not at this terrific presentation (perhaps they are in the audience). Britain's future is assured when it's past is in such capable hands.
As well as being world experts it seems they all had to have world class senses of humour. The funniest, wittiest bunch ever.
I too found time team only months ago, but vaguely recall watching it when i visited my dad. Thank you time team for instilling a sense of importance regarding knowing our history.
My Silvaculture prof in college taught us basic landscape archaeology. We had to learn how to suggest a plan for harvesting and planting trees. Thus professor was big at first at judging into an area and gauging what could be done there for maximum results. He was against cookie cutter approaches and walk the area to see if it was previous used for other activities. We would find milk cans and learned that beech trees are in a circular arrangement as they develop as root suckers from a mother tree in the center.
Yes, Time Team will be around in 15 years. I share the discovery, no pun intended, with folks I know. No, Phil, I do not believe most of y’all will be pushing up daisies in 2033. I love you guys. I won’t share my favorites, but I will say that Carenza’s absence was keenly missed. Also, as every comment about Phil has said, his enthusiasm for his craft is so inviting. Tony, you don’t need accolades as you are such a beloved public figure. Mick, I miss seeing your sweater and similar items, but I also miss your commitment to archeology. I’m an American and former English teacher, and I hate hearing folks say “amount” for “number.” Petty perhaps, but in a way, I’m glad…I probably shouldn’t say more!
Phil, I knew you would be chomping at the bit to speak when the young lady asked about being an archaeologist. You are a born teacher who wants to share your passion with others. I hope the light of your passion shines through not just for your lifetime, long live you, but for time immemorial.
This is going to be brilliant! !!
I really enjoyed this Q&A and seeing so many cast members together laughing and remembering...😊❤
This has been a joy to watch and I most sincerely hope there are lots and lots more "gather and talk" scenarios like this (with and without audience as they wish). Very interesting and emotionally comforting to see so many of the cast gathered together.
15 years time YES❤
Oh fantastic, loved every second of this.
I'm watching today 3/2020
Thank you, all of you!

We thought he was a Great man.❤
What I most want are follow-ups to the TT shows. The man who invested in land for development and bones were found...what happened there? There were several shows that ended with more questions than answers. New shows would be great, but follow-ups would make a nice special show.
Just recently discovered Time Team. Fantastic show.
My family!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why did Tony take the mic away from Carenza, and then passed it on to others? There are only two women on this panel and nothing against the fine fellows, who I admire, but diversity is so important these days, we need to hear a balance of voices. Which reminds me, I wish that Rakshah could have been up there.
I'm so excited to see you still doing this work!
I can see storage would be a problem. But instead of filling museum basements. Put them in there local environment. In council buildings. Schools.. hotel receptions. Anywhere that local people will see there local archeology. A simple cabinet would be enough.
This is awesome!!! I love it! I'm so happy that I came across this show, I was hooked from the start!!
What the American woman said should be enhanced so people can hear it. She said what I would have said about the continuing appeal of TT (and the fact that the internet is still bringing it to new audiences;) and particularly the fact that, for a lot of us, what made the show special (and what would make it SO DIFFICULT to recreate) is the personalities, the sense of cameraderie, or even of family, among the team members. They're delightful people, and a TT reboot would need to find that perfect combination of expertise, dedication, and personality. I think Mick was, to a great extent, the architect of the mix, of getting the right people into the team, but even if he wasn't, I think you'd still need a Mick to make it happen. Not that no one else is as visionary, or as inspiring (although he was quite gifted in both respects.) It's just that there was such a perfect confluence of factors in the creation of Time Team, it was the place where a need and the means of its fulfillment arrived at the same place at the same time.
In other words, it was magic.
And Mick was its Merlin.
the best part they are coming back ... ok so only 2 digs this year but more next year ...
@@0623kaboom so bloody boring NO HUMOUR .no interaction
Also interested to know how you lot are coping in a post-Brexit world...
Forgot to add that I'm currently re watching time team on youtube, just got to series 4, and loving every second of it, obviously lol
As a huge history and archeology nut in the USA, time team has been my surrogate fix of both since we here in the States, both government and people, don't seem to care or want to hide the truth from the public.
Interesting to see the Team several years on. I've seen every episode of TT at least 10 times and regret its passing. Sunday afternoons miss something now. Keep bashing on people, unravelling our great British history.
Great personalities can make complex things understand easily.
I don't get their duality of "Make archaeology accessible to everyone, not just snooty upper-class intellects" and then "Brexit sure was bad, we need foreigners!". You'd think studying Britain's history would make them realize Britain's survived even before there was an EU.
Another TT fan from the US. Nice to see this group talking with the audience.
Joining others who just discovered Time Team. I love it!
