Time Team S16-E13 Skeletons in the Shed: Blythburgh, Suffolk
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 бер 2013
- When the new owners of a house in Blythburgh in Suffolk explored their potting shed they were shocked to discover a cupboard full of human skulls. Could these remains have something to do with what's lurking amongst the shrubs and trees: the superb ruins of a medieval priory that has lain hidden for years?
We shall sorely miss professor Mick.
Rest in Peace, big man!
"Formal gardens... that's posh."
I like Tony.
Bring back Time Team !!!
YES!!
Hairyharold we need to get on Netflix! Yuge hit in states
Indeed.
They tried an American version but I don't think it worked out.
It had it's succesfull run of 20 years. All of the original members are in their 70's now (Mick Aston and Robin Bush have passed away), so even if they were to do a new run with new archaeologists, it wouldn't be the same. Let's just treasure these episodes.
when i was a little boy i wanted to be an archeologist. now i am 60 and this is the closest i will ever get. great shows.
haha, Phil Harding is an utter legend! Particularly with his classic "ooooooh" when he finds something.
I love this series but it makes me realise that so many people have much more interesting and fulfilling jobs than me...
LOL! What's your job, if I may ask?
MissCattitude63 that would be telling, but I did work for three years for English Heritage on various digs in Northumberland and Cumbria. If you have seen the Birdoswald Time Team episode, I have worked there. Its a fantastic job working on an Archaeological dig, damn hard work and often miserable conditions but you just feel like you are actually doing something worthwhile, rather than shuffling paper around (there's a clue!)..
Man, I hear ya. I had to quite college in my 2nd year (was planning on teaching history) simply because I had to choose between living on my own and moving back home, which was not an option, or going to work full time. At least we can watch this series and dream..
I've been excavating in Bulgaria, Syria and Germany. Every excavation was great. But in now 17 years of excavating I have ruined my joints. Can only go digging where its warm, but can't do it, because Iam not willing to pay for being part of an excavation. Anyone here who knows a place, where I won't have to pay for???
For me that would be nearly everyone. What a waste of a life.
R.I.P Mick, you did a great job here on earth, go rest and enjoy.
Phil Hardng at his best!! BBC or others Bring Back Time Team Now!!!!!
Most of the team is now retired or sadly passed away so it wouldn't have the same feel.
It can come back but got to have the right people. As McRambro mentions a lot of the people who were on the team have retired. it won't be the same people.
They can’t. Not happening.
The concept may work, but already in the last seasons everyone was up in arms just because of new members. Qualified, and in my opinion likable, but they lost to many viewers.
And there might be a lack of fitting sites, as they need a whole bunch of them lined up before filming. There's almost unlimited sites that need digging, but it has to have some kind of proof there ever was anything there, and there must be some kind of theory or question that the dig can answer in 3 days. So, Time Team will probably never return.
Time Team is currently producing new episodes. They released a few new digs last year, all available on youtube. And, they're part-funded by a patreon, so if folks like us want to see more, we actually have a tangible way to make that happen now. :)
Those magic words: "Time Team have got just three days to find out".
Wish this had been my back yard when I was growing up!
***** nahhh, most kids I know think skeletons are cool. They 'd love it.
Oh, oh, oh…. Micks socks match his sweater !!!!!! That is SOOOO cool.
I assume that Mick's rainbow sweater he wears EVERY show is a sign. They are all fantastic!!!
9:00 whoever made mick his stripey jumper also made him matching socks :)
Ha! I noticed that too. I'd like to have a sweater like that. Not the socks though.
Socks visible @ min. 9:00
hahaha
You're welcome!!! cheers
@@dr.elizabethmartin7118 as if the man could be anymore loveable
Mick was so darling in his stripey sweaters
wow, i just found time team. very groovy stuff indeed.
This series is addictive
Yeah, i am binge watching the complete series now, during the 'corona sessions'!
A lifesaver during these surreal times
Wow... I've been watching this series for the past few weeks... just seeing John Gater, Mick Ashton (RIP--Amazing man), and Phil and the rest age is crazy.
They are awesome. I wish Mick was still alive. They should bring this show back. I would do whatever it takes to watch it.
Damn I love this show! Medieval time period is my favorite too!!! 🇺🇸❤️🇬🇧
I’m watching this from France, I love this team, the concept, their enthusiasm and professionalism. Not easy to bring back time team since the two major archeologists of the team passed away
I knew Mick died, but who else died?
I'm so late to everything, but I'm glad I discovered this series! Just amazing. I love it and history since apparently no one's schools teach them any of this stuff and I was an Art History major in college. My dad was a History major and growing up, no matter what question I posed to him, the answer was always the same 'The Normans invaded England in 1066!' Our last name is 'Norman.' lol
Yup I love the time team, plenty of UK re runs at the moment and was sad news the mick passed away last year, this happened just before the team had major fractures in the group, and ultimately lead to the shows closure, pity
kev maxwell I've watched 98% of the series so far..the only 2 regular shows I've not watched are the Caribbean episodes. I still have quite a few specials to watch too, but it is a great show. It is sad to have lost Mick..cool guy
It's a good show, and a good change from all the celebrity wanna be's that seem to be all over the UK TV these days,
kev maxwell sounds like American TV...dumb 'reality' shows, and other non funny comedies n such lol Time Team is a great show for sure.
Lol the world over I would think Gary, not that I don't like to switch off and chill, just can't be doing with the wannabes lol 😁

To those who are commenting All these are usually over a weekend as far as I can make out. The whole premis is three days. A lot more can be done obviously but as guy said on a q and a on his channel there are upto 70 people on set and they get there the day before. He said he was contacted a few weeks before hand before each dig he was on.
Interesting to follow the step by step discovery, the inch by inch revealing of the hidden scenarios. Fascinating. .
We still have boy-names Anne here in the frisian part of the Netherlands.
Not just Friesland though? For example:
Anne Soldaat - musician: Groningen
Anne de Vries - writer: Drenthe
"The Trouble with Boris". I wonder if anyone who watched this when it premiered knew he would end up Prime Minister?
Right. Trouble continues
Thanks so much for posting.
Did anyone else feel the back of their head when Helen was describing what sounded like 'nickle crest' at 21:36? Wait, that's not Helen, sorry, I forget her name.
Love mic sweater and wacky hair awesome
Justin Rennie He has socks on that match the sweater so obviously made just for him.
Bless the camera man lol!!!
What a wonderful program and Tony is such a great presenter (as my 8 year old son would say, "epic")! I know that he'd done a good bit of comedy, but he really seems excited about this series and it really adds to the feel of the whole thing. Thanks, Tony… and to the person who posted it! Love Time Team.
If you are not familiar with Tony Robinson's "Worst Jobs" series, you should check it out here on YT at a "channel" called SonicGameReviews. I don't know how many episodes were in the original series, but there are several on that channel. He explores the worst jobs in different eras & in many other categories. Tony gamely tries his hand at every one of the jobs, many times dressed authentically- even as a woman a few times (picture Blackadder's dogsbody dressed as a medieval fishwife)! Not only is the series very informative, but Tony's natural sense of humor makes it entertaining, as well.
Hunny Beez Thanks!
JeevesReturns Also check out Tony's book,"The Worst Jobs In History". And his YT "Walking Through History" and "Crime and Punishment"
Pretty much anything he presents is great. He could narrate a documentary about even the Kardashian family and I would sit through it.
Check out his audiobooks of abridged terry pratchett novels, his characters are beyond awesome, not to mention playing grubby servant baldrick (alongside hugh laurie &, stephen fry) in Blackadder - the best historical comedy known to mankind (ignore season1), that's why he got the gig. Having said that a makeup artist/costume designer friend of mine has worked on set with him and allegedly is a total self centered dick to everyone, complete git, always has been apparently, laughs off actually 'unhelpful' words to people, angrily vents and stomps off if displeased and the like, had literally nothing positive to say, I could hear the blood boiling at the mere mention.
I can see it with heinsight watching again, how the other team members have to laugh off to camera quite unhelpfully rude constant criticism (far more than playing devils ad), and when he's obviously really angry he couldn't go up in the chopper when only 1 seat available for an actual archeologist on one occasion etc.
Still best man for the job, shame he isn't nicer.
I love how excited Phil gets over a hole in the ground. It’s awesome.
Me, an aspiring archeologist; nice episode so far. Some Saxon archaeology
Them: Sutton Hoo is down the road
Me: HOLY SHIT I NEED TO GO THERE
American here. I’ve been through Death Valley CA more than once. Never have seen anything like that ancient column there . . . unless you really want to work your imagination & say it looks like a massive saguaro cactus. Which I don’t think it does whatsoever . . . but then again - maybe I have a sucky imagination.
Love this program, btw!
Sherry H. There are things that look something like that in Monument Valley.
I think he should have followed that animal tunnel. Animals will make use of open spaces under ground, that could have led to a crypt.
One of Time Team's best! Thanks for Posting !
Wish I lived in England the history is so interesting
Dennis jensen Canada and the US destroys all of it...
I live in Denmark and we have amazing history here as well, but I'd love to return to England for another history expedition.
@@ForeverLumoz
You Sir / Madam are ancestors of the mighty vikings . Ivar the boneless who along with King Halfden settled in York ( Jorvic ) . You guys ruled for over one hundred years .
@@Cassxowary
Much of our archaeology is on protected lands.
@ 5:54 Phil cracks me up...lol
Such a sensational show thanks to you tube we here in Australia are able to view so many more programs Go you Good Thing
I love Phil's accent.
I find the 3 day concept so frustrating. Why do they only get 3 days when there is so much potential in a site like this one?
I have wondered about this too. It seems every site has a three day limit.
soslothful
3 days because this is a TV programme and that is the format, but also because a test dig with limited time is also a valid archaeological technique: you look to see if there is anything interesting in the hope that others can some day look more closely. Or you dig just sufficiently to support or possibly disprove a theory. And of course landowners may not want to be deprived of their land indefinitely. In this case it is a nationally important ancient monument and visitor attraction, so commercial interests will have a part to play as well.
ritorno100 In addition, the archaeologists, historians, finds experts etc all have regular day jobs. Being away for three days doesn't interfere too much with their other, main work. Time Team did what is called 'evaluation archaeology' - evaluate a site quickly to determine what it is. If it is of importance then it can be protected (if it hadn't already been so) and therefore it becomes a scheduled monument.
Ditto, Marc. Dig on, lads!
Although it's just a test dig, I'd have a difficult time just walking away if it was a really intriguing site, so perhaps separate arrangements can be made outside of the show, for further work. One would hope.
The Priory dig on Google Earth:
52°19'18.6"N 1°35'47.0"E
Unfortunately the trees hide all sign and there are walls and buildings hiding it on Street View.
Thanks, I came to the comments looking for the coordinates.
Was on a day walk of the area at the weekend and we walked down Priory Road and past the Priory house, but you can't get in there to see it. Old and very pretty house.
I really want to live in the British countryside. There is so much archaeology there. I'd be a modest cottage, restore and start digging a garden, hoping to hit something.
You would hit something - and I _don't_ mean just a stone or a sewer!
Sooo,tell me more!! Intelligence far extended, impressive !
Just here to say that I find Phil very chill indeed. Greetings from Denmark
10:08 Apparently Sam Newton is the long-lost twin of Stephen Fry.
I want to believe that before Tony starts rummaging around that hole, that the cameras cut and actual archeologists examined the hole to make sure that Tony didn’t ruin anything sensitive.
i have it on good authority they do
Worst idea ever to cancel Time Team!!!
Phils accent definitely has got thicker since the first series where he was just out of unitversity.
maybe he actually tried to tone down his accent in the beginning
Where is that accent from?
@@al4berry It's Bristol
I was trying to place that too. I think he would fit in with some people I’ve heard from Alabama. Just stronger on the Rs and less the Oys.
surprise surprise The archeologist in the rainbow striped sweater LOL EVERY EPISODE ...every darned one .-)))
he is professor Mick Aston,the head of the dig.he started this programme with the producer Tim Burton.
Mick was an awesome guy!!!
ONE THING I LEARNED FROM THIS SERIES...uou don't want to invite these guys into your home!
I want a sweater with matching socks, like Mick!!
Bloody hell, how smug was the landowner? 'Formal gardens'.
Infact you are 110% right joshua sorry for doubting you buddy
9:06 awww.... has someone lovingly made him matching socks and sweater?
love some follow ups
How come you only have three days to explore these fantastic places? I just love your show but I wish it was longer.
They are exploratory digs, if something important is there then later a full dig that takes months or years can be done in the future.
@@JETWTF if you don’t know the actual reason you should simply say that....
Wonderful programme! thanks for posting! Do you have the episode "The Saxon graves?" (Series 2, second episode.)
Strange there's no cross-reference to this dig in the later programme on Dunwich - "The Drowned Town". The two places are less than four miles apart!
Does anyone know if there is any archeological programs that are currently (2014) running? Not television shows necessarily, but investigations to identify sites, especially in Lancashire.
+Brian Smith Lots, and many accept amateur volunteers.
Google "volunteer vacations archaeology" and go dig.
All ancient churches were built in an east-west direction, with the tower in the west and the choir in the east.
_Edit_ Some churches have the tower at the crossing.
At 10:52, I understand I'm in the UK here, but is that Mary Poppins in the sky, a UFO or Phil in an archaeological hang glider? Great episode and as always, I look forward to the sequel.
Scratching the surface whets the enthusiast appetite for more, but who carries on after your three day dig ends? It would be nice to see the follow-up progress on the sites. I'm fairly confident that if it was my back garden you had chosen to dig, I'd be tickled to have it continue, the baton passed into able hands.
Kim Jameson From what I've read the dig continues AFTER the TV cameras go away. Time Team has published a vast amount of archaeologic papers. If I remember correctly the team is in the top 5 in terms of published archaeological output in the UK..
Kim Jameson I think it's probably a dragon.
If the dig continues after the allotted time by the Time Team, the archaeologists will present the landowner with a bill, unless the dig is directed by the museum.
Most of the time the holes are filled back in unless someone can afford to pay the 4-5 figure daily cost of running an archaeological site.
with all the pottery scattered all over England, was any one able to ever pick up a piece of pottery with OUT breaking it and throwing it over their shoulders?
Lol.
For the record, in case some donnae appreciate your humor... folks left pottery in these places _because_ it was broken.
If something was still useful, the residents or later scavengers removed anything intact and of use or value and took it with them.
A chapel head. Did he just call Mick an old chapel head? LOL, LOL, ...
tony is the debbie downer of time team.
Hebry the 1st was crazy underrated. He redid priory bc ge was trying to establish a link to the hkuse of wessex snd show hes a continuation. He married a woman from house if wessex therefore his son eouldve technically been both norman and from alfreds line. Like henry the 8th was both york n lancaster
What happens after the 3rd day? Does work continue under another research team? Are all the suppositions left to be pondered over?
Would love to discover skulls and bones and ancient or old graves.
Would be nice for Time Team to visit Borley
Phil's been on the beak again 5:55
_File-o-Wax_ oh my days.
Time team!
Why has the sound quiet?
Was here in July 2019
Maybe the cloister was on the north side because it was respecting a building next to the Saxon church.
Lol! Love me some Phil!
Shadow of a doubt. Geophysicist credo
Channel 4, which started as an arts channel and originally showed ground breaking programmes, wouldn't have the guts to put something like this on again.
22:07 Look at the extensive wear on his teeth, especially the molars. Likely caused by grit in the milling of grain.
Just imagine, one day, this will be us, being dug up and examined by our descendants.
21:45 literally just did the exact same thing as these three ladies ha ha
I really like Faye....
+Bryon Lape time team needs a lot more Faye
We were going to move into a house with a 13th century brew house
You'll be needing a bar to go with it.
Heartbreaking that they just fill these holes back in after the three days, and the excavation is over.
This is what governments should be paying for.
Not needless wars, not studies of impacts of cinema on fashion, or paying to ship migrants into the country for a lifetime on the dole.
Not heartbreaking, in fact. Soul crushing.
Many of their projects are picked up by university and county (or the British version) archeological projects. They often mention that in closing. Some sites are listed on the national registry of ancient monuments to be studied and protected.
Well hello Kay !!!
People have things like THAT in their backyards?? O.O
When I was living in a tiny village in the north of Scotland, I regularly walked past a small field at the side of the main road. It was in the middle of a street of houses with a stone wall around it, and it had a fairly uniform circular lump in the middle. No signage, no fences, nothing to suggest it was anything significant, but I knew it must be something. Turned out it was this: www.megalithic.co.uk/article.php?sid=29885.
Just there. Nothing special. Just a (likely) protohenge from the 2nd or 3rd millenium BC. No big deal. :)
1970 called...he wanted his wig back...
Why do they always get only 3 days?
RAINBOWS! jazzy
Time team always managed to fill up a pub.
i have to wonder what to prier owner was up to in the site and the resion he did not won't anyone in there
Why are they not using ground radar.???
Nice as season 16 is oddly not available on 40d and not on DVD so how else do C4 expect us to see it. The fools.
WOO HOO William the Conqueror is my relative.
If Mick is an old chapel head, what is Phil then?!
Feather hat? I know, lame! ah well. Phil's a great guy, buy him a pint! Mick, GOD rest ya, you are missed!
King Anna, king of East Anglia is my 24th great grandfather's wife's 10th great aunt's husband's half brother's wife's father according to Geni
Does that leave you related or diluted
Is that king anna?,in the cupboard?
Exactly what I was wondering.
Time Team with George Clarke!
What about that poor fella they dug up? Does he get to rest in peace or do his bones now go in a box?
They're usually reburied once they're done being studied.
So do they just cover all the bones and walls or leave them exposed?
no they spend another day pro recording the trenches and repairing the mess properly, then pay for all the subsequent analysis needed.
They re-inter them with the greatest respect.
Why do they only get 3 days
