- After three days excavating a medieval cathedral under Coventry city centre, Time Team discovers a burial chamber and decide to break their 'three-day-dig' rule and stay on.
The excavation reveals a major historical find: the skeleton of one of Coventry's first Priors.
The monk was buried before Henry VIII destroyed the cathedral in the 16th century, but modern science reveals that he lived well into middle age.
Hard for me to imagine how anyone could not love this programme.
I imagine there are people who might find archaeology completely uninteresting, lol.
Susan F. There is a huge country far west of the U.K. where science like history is fiction. The truth is the world is 6000 years old and for some even flat. I understand this isn’t their cup of tea.

When Phil gets excited I get excited.
You may need therapy... ..
when I was stationed in Germany during 1982-83 I visited cathedrals and churches every chance.....you can't help but be overwhelmed at the construction and artistry they held. to this very day 30 plus years I can still remember the impact they had on me as an artist and archeology appreciation. !
I think I have watched every episode of TIME TEAM, they still make me smile. I think we all know that Mick Aston was the Queen Bee, he got everyone around him to work because they loved him.
This is definitely one of my favorite episodes of this wonderful series. It just amazes me that they were able to build and demolish such monumental structures as that gorgeous cathedral back in the Middle Ages. This is one of several sites that Time Team worked that I wished that they would have stayed another 3 days or more on. There is just so much history on this site and they were really in their zone on this one. When that happens, and it doesn't always, it seems to me that someone should have made the call to make it a 2 part set of episodes. Just saying. Lol. I love this series. There is nothing as good as this on TV now. Thanks so much for sharing these videos with us all!!! God bless you, my friend!
I share you wishes that they would sometimes make a 'part 2' at a special dig. This one certainly seems worthy.
In this case they did, in a Special from 2001. Used to be on UA-cam, but now withdrawn it seems.
This episode is a marvelous example of the challenges of city digging. And how all the maps were off by quite a few feet, partly because the earlier excavation didn't record their finds as well as might be. A truly great episode.
I've rewatched TT probably 20 times. Fortunately, I'm almost as old as Phil now (his 71st birthday of 1/25/50) cannot remember much and delight in seeing what I'd almost forgotten.
The side eye that Carenza shoots Mick @25:07 as Robin intones "Take heed that your hearts be not weighed down by surfeiting and drunkensess..." cracked me up...
While serving in the RN I was stationed for a while at H.M.S. Dolphin. There, I met an ex-Royal Marine Captain who had been a bandleader and he taught me to play a couple of instruments. He did so because he was in the middle of composing a symphony which was to be played at the inauguration of the new cathedral which replaced the old cathedral which was bombed during WWII and while he played one instrument, I would accompany him by playing another instrumental part in order to determine if parts he had composed fitted what in with what he had written. He finished the symphony and it was played as arranged. Unfortunately, I was transferred to a sea-going vessel just before the first professional playing of the complete symphony, so could not take part.

Best #Covid19 Binge TV Show ever. the sanity of it all somewhere in the heap of rubble or stone walls. cheerio & CUR!
I am forever grateful to my daughter for telling me about this show. We laugh that I talk to the episode - bronze age pottery I yell, or high status, with a British accent. I watch at least one episode a day. Thank you Time Team.
BC Canada here after 2+ yrs; i am still discovering TT live TV/videos not yet seen & seeing much more in the repeated ones. What an education & such fun!
Incredible programme, so pleased to have seen this. I was amazed to see the former Provost John Petty, whom I worked with during the nineties, and sadly, no longer with us. Quite a welcome memory as he did so much for the people of Coventry RIP..
Phil, Mick and Tony....what a team....If they hunted for 20 years they wouldn't find the magic that these 3 produce when they are together...and I get the feeling they are real friends, not just tv colleagues, and I think that's what makes this special. So many people in life don't like the people they work with and lack any kind of camaraderie or good feeling, so its such a pleasure to see this bunch winding each other up and making it such a fun time. But any woman that gets involved with Phil will have make room in bed for the shovel, because he doesn't go anywhere without it
Mick and Tony were friends before the show. Mick invited Tony to be the presenter. Mick was also friends with Phil.
I've a feeling that Tony was one of Mick's students at Bristol Uni's Extra-Mural Studies department when Tony was studying archaeology after his experiences digging in Chichester. Mick'd have known Phil from the Wessex Archaeology lot in Bristol. Nice tight-knit team core. It's pretty good to have a presenter on something like this who actually understands rather well what's being talked about.
Tony's worked on a number of digs and he's also done a good amount of study at an academic level: he's described himself as an 'amateur archaeologist' but chances are that he is qualified enough to successfully apply for Practitioner membership of CIfA.
@@1028dianemarie I saw a young Mick and young skinny Phil in a show Time Signs I wonder if this show predates Time Team
@@chrisbahr1064 It does.
Phil can bring his shovel anytime!
I love this programme and all the people involved. Watching this just confirmed to me that Henry VIII was a real piece of work, destroying such beautiful buildings
Henry was a Welshman, they know nothing !
My great aunt was the model for the Lady Godiva statue outside the cathedral.
Absolutely love this show Phil he's just crazy cool
A great episode with Tony the presenter ! And all those great finds after all those hundreds of years !
Tony ruins every episode.
"Day Four 09.00"--now thats sumpin you don't see every day, isn't it...?
oooooo, aaaahhhhhh!
AnnBearForFreedom 👍🏼loved seeing that !
Particularly considering the overall cost to produce a day of it. What a cool episode
“Innit!”
stone the crows!
I love Victor and Robin. Seem so sweet.
I love this episode as I'm right in thinking that this one of the few episodes that went more than three days.
Even with the audio track waaaaay out of synch with the video, this is far more interesting than a lot of American programs.
America does has a limited history when it come to things old.
As a former American, I agree.
Pleased to see they would do a Day 4 if they thought it was needed.
Thanks for the upload, RZ.
If the audio sync is bugging you, go to the three dots and click on playback speed. Choose 1.25 and it really helps
I wonder if that resyncs the audio, so you can go back to 1.0 and it will work.
Yes, helps with the synching. Tony rapid-talking at 1.25x is hilarious!
That was so interesting! Coventry has so much incredible history, it should be up there with must see places to visit like York and London. The local incompetent council have done a piss poor job of promoting the cities tourism industry.
I've visited Coventry in 1991 and loved the city. Got to see the ruins of the old cathedral and got to see the new one. I wish that I had spent more time there.
Love time team, makes me feel younger and me Ma is still alive.
ah man. feel you buddy. wholesome life is precious.
Sure is bro, live it to the full
What a vile piece of work Henry VIII must have been!!!
Only a fool would judge the actions of yesterday by values of today.
Must ask why?????
Good ol' Eric Barker got himself on the team 🤣🤣👍. Doing my back garden back in 92 gave him good practice on this job 👍
Love this show read a recent interview with tony Robinson and the reason behind doing this was even better than the show- he is a really compassionate man. Thinking of others. Sometimes people get a big head when getting some popularity or fame not tony Robinson. He showed people how cool archeology and history can be. And he got them interactive in it that’s the best love seeing kids enjoying this and getting their hands dirty. Favorite one was when the children cut down trees and actually made an ancient plow. That’s one awesome way to teach kids history. Doubtful kids get to do that in school these days. Lol
Don't believe a word of it.
Tony would often appear on site for maybe an hour or two each day (often not on all the days of filming), do a few pieces to camera, have lunch and skip off again. Sometimes he'd film all three days of his scripted segments on one day. This wasn't always the case, but very often it was. A good friend of mine was an advisor and was disgusted at the way in which the programming was handled from the tv side. The producers would find just two or three threads to follow, and would follow these despite what the archaeology threw up.
The archaeological team was real enough and the work they did was genuine, but each episode (whilst not exactly scripted) certainly followed the path required by the producers to make an interesting programme rather than necessarily being a true reflection of the archaeology.
@@robertstallard7836 So you can't actually say that any of is true as you weren't actually there to witness any of what your so called good friend and advisor to Time Team told you?
The evidence we have in these programmes shows is that a lot of great and sometimes boring archaeology was done in all these programmes and the way it was presented appears to have been done mainly in chronological order.
You can't view more than 20 years of video and see or hear even a hint that such underhand techniques were employed to produce the episodes. There are plenty of interviews on YT of the main characters and the only point of disagreement was about the budget cuts and staff changes towards the end of the series.
Many of us have learnt a lot about our history here in UK and other places. We have also had to re-learn a lot of we were taught at school and have Time Team and Channel 4 to thank for that and thanks to Reijer for putting it all here for us to continue our learning.
@@richardphillips6281 Oh, you're absolutely right, Richard - the archaeologists were throughly professional and did a good job.
I don't think anyone really disputes that including my friend. In fact, the tv production was of high quality and did reflect what had been found.
The problem was with Tony R, really. Now, he may well have had a tight shooting schedule elsewhere, but for the episode my friend advised on, he just few in for a few hours and out again, and all his pieces to camera were shot at once. Whethere that was typical or not, i don't know.
It's inevitable that a lot of what was discovered was left out of the programmes (taking pollen samples for storage in case needed for future examination hardly enthuses most audiences, for example) but they did sometimes tend to focus on one aspect to turn it into a "detective story", despite most of those facts actually being known beforehand.
@@robertstallard7836 Thanks for admitting that you don't know whether Tony's behavior for that episode was typical of the whole series or not. I also noticed that you said your friend advised on ONE episode of hundreds. Thanks for the clarification. I would love to know more about the site and archeology recording for future exams or digs, I find archeology so fascinating!
Hmm... it would be a bit difficult to film all the changes of weather and increased area of trenches and follow the discussions of where to open a new trench if Tony was only there for a few hours on one day.
It may just be me, but the video and audio aren't synched up.
Nope. Not just you.
In some areas, the video and audio aren't synced up, but in other places it is. So it's not just you, Jamie Hartshorn
:( boo. ive been trying to find this episode for a while and this is the only copy I can find.. and it wont play and when it does play for all be it 3 seconds at a time its outta sync :( is there any way to fix this, im dying to see this episode.
not just you
This episode is available on the Channel 4 website and it's in sync. Best watch it there.
On the 'recycling' of the stone. I live in a town called Guisborough, we have the remains of a huge Priory that in it's day was one of the biggest and wealthiest abbeys in North Yorkshire. When it was sold off by Henry VIII a lot of the stone was incorporated in to the buildings in the town. You can see bits of fancy carving and inscriptions embedded in to various walls and buildings around the market place.
I went on a guided "high parts" tour of Wells Cathedral the other day, and there was an old Celtic cross from a gravestone hidden away 'behind the scenes' upstairs, as part of the masonry of a little window. I've always imagined large cathedrals and villas getting their stones robbed for houses, not graves being pinched to build cathedrals, so it was really interesting :)
I was born in Guisborough,
"But there's actually a third cathedral because under this row of houses lies St. Mary's, Coventry's first cathedral which was destroyed in a fit of pique by Henry VIII."
Time team has to forcibly evict everyone, tear down the houses and then establish where the cathedral once stood, and we have just three days to do it! =)
a fit of pique
@@darczee1 Thanks, I'll get that edited. =)
For a guy who doesn't run Mick sure takes off at 16:25 lol
Thanks for the good show.
I miss the team.
Weve made a stained glass window. What input did Tony have in the process?
Corenzas arch pun, was brilliant. I still amazes me, using basic machines and man labour, how these Cathedrals, were built. It just goes to show what great potential, the human body is capable of, unfortunately very seldom realised in our easy society.
Absolutely wonderful episode! Henry VIII and his henchmen will have a lot to answer for on judgement day for the destruction and desecration of such a magnificent cathedral. Lastly, while understanding the importance of archaeological work, I am not comfortable when the grave sites of monks, buried with solemn rites in consecrated ground in the Christian hope of resurrection, are disturbed. I can only hope their remains will be respected and reinterred in a proper way .
+Leopararouen I am following your discussion and I am finding the information very interesting. The dissolution of the monasteries was a very sad.period In English history.
+Leopararouen I agree, and in the end all the destruction, and religious persecution in the cause of securing a male heir for the throne was in vain. Other than the very brief reign of Edward, England was ruled by his daughters Mary and Elizabeth. What a tragic waste!
+Leopararouen thanks again , I will take a look. . I am sure I will enjoy them.
Have you seen the series 'Tudor Monastery Farm'. It gives you the essence of the people who lived around the monasteries and how their whole life was wound around the monasteries. Economically, religiously, morally, intellectually and ethically the peasantry and the monastery revolved and grew around each other. When you get a real feeling of the times and the people you realise just how much was lost when the monasteries were dissolved. It was not only the monks and church hierarchy but also the peasants who suffered as well. Their very livelihood was stripped from them causing poverty, sickness and death.
But looking back we can only take a lesson from it and make sure that we ourselves do not follow the example set by the Monarchy. Before we condemn a people we must first take a closer look at their belief system and how they live and think very hard before we act against them for our own personal gain. With power comes responsibility.
How was the body disrespected? You do know people at that time routinely dug up older graves and simply put all the remains together in one grave when they needed room right? How is studying them to further our understanding of the past disrespectful or any more disrespectful then being forgotten and built over?
This episode brings to mind the wonderful book Say Nothing of the Dog by Connie Willis. The protagonist is a time traveling historian who returns to Coventry Cathedral at the time of the Blitz. In his day (2057), the cathedral is being rebuilt, having been razed to make way for a shopping mall.
That wretched Birdstump!
This was one of the best episodes they ever made
Okay....so Robin read the Benediction at 8pm as I was watching this. Erie!
Well that makes you a monk by proxy, my condolences.....

The bird (hawk, eagle?) design is remarkably like art deco. Not the new one! The old bit!
Seems Mr Henry VIII's fits of pique were ALWAYS destructive.
By that time, the church controlled England, lock, stock and rolling pin. Bishops lived like kings, and kings couldn't take a deep breath without permission from the Catholics. iow, the Catholics were tyrants. Henry VIII took exception to that, and the people supported him.
Oh, as a younger man, Henry was in pretty good shape and known as a handsome man. ;) Hunting, jousting, and all of that.
@@theknave4415 , I agree. But Henry, if the legend is true, at least wrote the song 'Greensleeves' I think the Cardinal's biggest mistake was building a house at least as smart, or smarter than, King Henry's..
@@theknave4415 at last someone who's knows their history.

Well… actually Time Time will have 2 new episodes soon! There is a Patreon and everything. The more folks that get involved will mean more episodes! Check out the Time Team Official page =)
Such beautiful old cathedrals. What a shame Coventry itself today looks so grey and hard and concrete.
***** `Wasn't Coventry pretty well razed by the bombing during WWII? I ask as my knowledge of damage severity to individual British cities during WWII is very limited. If Coventry was severely leveled by bombs that would explain the "lack" of character other cities have that didn't suffer the same fate during the war. During post war reconstruction the focus was on speed of completion more than any other consideration..It makes sense to me...
Yes, Coventry was particularly hit hard by the German bombing of World War 2. However, the post war reconstruction in Coventry, and in many other British cities, apart from being done fast, was also done with a 'modernist' architectural style that has left many British cities looking heavy, grey and depressing. This style of building continued into the 1960's and 1970's. Today, this 'modernist' style looks rather grim and continues to blight the appearance of many British cities.
***** Thank you for taking the time to explain. I erroneously assumed that the 'modernist' architectural style was due to the necessity of speedy completion rather than "taste" or in this case :lack of taste"...Being from the states I use the series as a cram course on British Archeology. I appreciate you taking the time to add to my education.
No problem at all, happy to be of help. I did archaeology in England for a time and still have a passion for it. The 'modernist' style was considered, certainly from the early 1950's onwards, to be progressive and egalitarian. A real break with the past. Unfortunately, it didn't date well and within a couple of decades it already looked worn down, cheap and depressing. Prince Charles in particular hates that style of architecture. Gradually, many of those 'modernist' buildings are being pulled down, or at least improved aesthetically.

I know Coventry was clobbered by the Luftwaffe, but why? Was it because of the Rolls-Royce facilities there?
Love Mick's pronunciation of cathedral: ka-the'a-drel
how it's said
Thanks for posting

BTW, GREAT show anyway love to watch it from time to time
Cheers

I miss Time Team.
I really love watching this show. A little disappointing the sound is out of sink, but so long as you don't watch them too closely when they're talking it isn't too bad.
Day four the ultimate time team twist😂
What an amazing building. Too bad Henry had to muck things up. Then the replacement bombed out and replaced with … ugh.
Love time team always makes me wonder that in 2000 years will they be digging up where we live today.
And everytime I see somebody digging I always say ... now then what's going on here time team...
raiders of the lost arch lol
lol
Victor RIP.
Ohhh arrre Tony cathedral bombed... Stone the crows!
Amazing what they can find in such tight confines.
This is the cathedral: "whoo! sweet"
The other was bombed by the enemy: "fkn evil!"
The first was burned by our own king: *signs up for the Mars expedition*
Love this episode, I was born and raised in Coventry
So that's what Rick Parfett from Status Quo does when he's not touring, he drives a digger 😂😂😂😂

Paul Schedler Ah. I thought I was having a lagging connection. Not sure if that's the cause, but I often have things badly synced on UA-cam
it's dubbed in they all speak Mandarin
Wish there were built in tools to adjust the audio/video sync. I had a program that i used to do just that to a video file that had audio out of sync. The program had a option to delay audio starting at any random amount of time after video playback starts or even before video started….
BIG UP COV MY HOME LAND
Darling Victor!
Interesting that some people feel the new Cathedral is ugly. I think it is very attractive, though the connector between the old and new might have been less chunky. But compared to its sister church of reconciliation, the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial in Berlin - which is so cacophonous - wow, this one is gorgeous. And the interior is magical.
I used to live near Coventry and saw it many times (including a memorable concert by Tangerine Dream inside the main cathedral) I never did like it, inside or out, it hasn't gotten any better over the years!
Love the episode. Just wish the video and audio were synched.
lol i just realised that the damage to the skull made it look like a cyclops
29.25 the best time team clip ever.
Brilliant
So Henry VIII threw away good buildings like he threw away wives?
Greg B he also threw away his friend Cardinal Wolsey because he can't get the pope to ok his divorce
Probably the biggest gangster in human history - and if it isn't him it was his daughter.
Oh dear, please read your history. It's not so black and white. Henry was a tyrant, a womanizer and jealous of the monasteries vast wealth, but also very brave to take on almost the entire known world of Catholicism and break away from Rome. The monasteries all over Europe were corrupt many of the behaved like mafia, involved in extortion and theft of land. In fact we have to thank Henry for many of the freedom's from the oppressive Catholic church. I'm not sure which daughter you are referring to but I'll guess it's Elizabeth again an incredibly brave lady, in constant fear of her life and protecting England from invasion not only from Europe but Scotland, who were allied with the French and Spanish.
Well as you say David, some good came of all that (like with that creep Napoleon), but still a greedy megalomaniac and a real piece of work. One could have hoped for a less mixed bag: more good and less waste and horror. He took what he wanted and wantonly destroyed so much else - did he really have the people benefit?
Yes, and he didn't bother to acknowledge all of the illegitimate children he had with his various mistresses.
I am an American Descendant of Wm Clopton of England Later to Kent Co VA his line directly back to many including Longshanks. Wm the Conqueror. But also Leofric of Mercia and Lady Godiva who funded this church and its building. at the time the finest. I hope that they are testing the dna of these ancestors buried of thes old sites to see from whence they came.
My line is G-L43 like desd nr Oetzsi found frozen in Swiss Alps age 3500 yrs. We branch from Switzeland about 1500 and spread from there up the Rhine, both sides, thru to Denmark, Groningen, Frisia. Lots of cousins up there even 5th cousin levels.
Just asking does this help you in any way....?
i am sure those conversations are choreographed, but it is nevertheless fun listen to them. because i think all this -explaining - is done for use the -uneducated - hobby archaeologists. who would have otherwise no idea what all those -lumps and bumps - and bit and pieces of wall or glass or shards would have been.
but on the other hand - raiders of the lost arch- from Carenza Lewis, no scriptwriter can come up with that?
Heh. Short version: Kings of England were mere puppets under the Catholic church. Henry VIII didn't want to play puppet on a string and he had enough $$$ and power to fight back...when the Catholic church refused to play nice. Catholics had rather oppressed the people of England, as well. There's a reason why the earlier Vikings raided wealthy monasteries and cathedrals, instead of the poor peasants who slaved for the church.
The people of England didn't have the money. The Catholic church had all of it.
Well said!
Good dig, i myself prefer the countryside for a dig background 🏴
Henry didn't like Benedictine monasteries because they were rich? Just the opposite I would imagine Precisely because they were rich he stole their money and property and made himself rich! Only a mad man would have destroyed the artistic, historic and religious patrimony of a country. Some "Defender of the Faith" indeed!
That large piece of rock/architectural feature would weigh, I estimate, 700-800 lb.
My gardening efforts (hobby) make use of boulders weighing (so far) a max of 417 lb.
Where there's a will to move it!!!😊
What would they have done with the body? Reburial? Put it on museum display?
My understanding from comments on the show and in the comments sections is that anyone found on consecrated ground is studied and then reburied again in consecrated ground. That's Church law.
TT got sent to Coventry 😊
That sounds like a punishment.....😊
@@user-hy7zb2vl3t the expression ‘sent to Coventry’ originated in the (English) Civil War. It meant
to deliberately ostracise someone. Coventry was a Parliamentary stronghold, so sending someone to Coventry was indeed a punishment. (Needless to say, TT was well far from being ostracized 😊)
@@sgrannie9938 thanks now u know
Now I know sorry
@@user-hy7zb2vl3t no worries. Sometimes my jokes are a bit obscure 🙂
How did the floor of the cathedral building [40-minute mark] get to be so far down?
well the walls are really tall,, like really very tall, so if the floor wasn't low down then the roof would be too high up
They said the church was on a hill initially, I'm willing to bet when they leveled it out that side was just nearer the base of the hill.
Soil naturally piles up over the centuries. So you find medieval close to the surface, Roman further down, and so on. Uneven, though, depending on forestation and river activity, so sometime it doesn't happen. That's when you find Romans at the surface.

Corenza at full bloom in her Professional, and Individual maturing, (that when done with a conscious realized experience), results in our Feeling of Harmony, "a balance in motion", which is a most positive feeling, experiencing, and state of being. (Can be experienced unconsciously, but it may not have as valued an effect, and would likely be variable longer)
A subject we all would benefit from in discovering, and experiencing. It's an experience that is a sort of "want, but arent aware we do".

They don't dig up them they bury them......not on camera of course...
I usually feel bad about buildings being destroyed and “robbed out”, but after seeing the extravagant standing cathedral, the idea of poor people paying for such excess and some fat priests telling them it was necessary to avoid going to hell makes me happy the townsfolk got a bit of their own back!
check out Stained Glass Attitude's video on this subject too!
I've had the joy and privilege to watch many of these, BUT to me it's irritating that they only have 3 days. It amazes me that so many of these places are buried so deep.
Were you nervous about the possibility of unexploded munitions ?
Weren't they mostly incendiaries used there?
so far there has been rain almost every episode

What horrible modern buildings!
Not to mention keeping the illusion of Tony the Enthusiastic Presenter going for three-plus decades in spite of his despicable shortcomings. After all, Time Team was a very popular show that aired for twenty years; seems like some one besides your friend would have noticed his true colors. Actually, your buddy sounds like a jilted lover whining over a rejection while Sir Tony is still sought out as a speaker, presenter, writer, etc.

I'm vaguely disquieted sometimes by the casual handling of people's bones and the way that they are often treated with less respect than, say, a nice piece of Beaker pottery...
Shut up you fool
Im not so vaguely disquieted by the way we smash through ancient sites and bones to build housing estates and shopping malls ... oh, sorry, money first ofc
They are generally reburied in a marked, respectful way.
T.J. Payeur agreed
T.J. Payeur I was really alarmed by Phil's reaction (don't get me wrong, I love the guy!) in one of the recent episodes… I'm not sure which one because I'm binge watching and have seen so many, but I think it was season seven. They found a body, and he kept laughing - I'm going to give him benefit of the doubt and to put it down to anxious laughter because the wound on the body was truly brutal.
