We LOVE Time Team, esp. the original decades -- wish it could have gone on forever as it was, but I'm glad that it's still with us, despite the loss of very much loved archaeologists -- so happy to get to see Helen Geake and Stewart Ainsworth, John Gater, Carenza Lewis and Matt, and other veterans of the first wonderful T T series. I am also happy to see new, updated technology, which surely must make life easier for all! Everyone worked very hard on that series. I hope they're pleased to know that they've been watched, and greatly enjoyed, by people around the world, Bravo to you all!
-
Matt was always such a good sport in the old series. Nice to see him come into his own as a grown up archaeologist!
-
Loving the new episodes! Big thank you to the Patreon members! I'm a disabled veteran pensioner, and sadly I cannot afford to donate - but wanted to shout out a big THANKS to all involved, as through your support I am able to enjoy these episodes also.
-
It’s always so good to see Paul Blinkhorn! What a great guy and what a pro!
-
Love Helen Geake. What a dedicated archaeologist!
-
Anyone noticed the little toy version of Mick shown in the tent the afternoon of the second day? ❤
-
Stuart has an amazing capacity to look at large areas, read the landscape and make sense of it. I’m sure he has an in-built Sat Nav. Incredible
-
Ahhh, lovely Helen Geake! She never seems to age! As lovely now as she was when the series started!
-
Can you imagine working every day among people of this quality?
-
Always love seeing Paul and his amazing pottery expertise!
-
Getting to know the new team. Glad so many of the old team are still here, but especially missing Mick and Phil.
-
I love watching Helen. She has such a passion for her work.
-
How wonderful to have a new episode. I have rewatched the old series over and over. I am in America and first found Time Team during the first Covid isolation. I miss the old team but appreciate the new team and they are growing in adding some of the camerodity of the old team which made it so loved. GO TIME TEAM! Well done. Nice to see that a previous excavation has new discoveries.❤❤❤

This one moved me at the end. I'm not from the UK and I came to these through YouTube but I have fallen in love with the whole team. This show really has been one of the best "reality" programs ever, imo. The reason is that, from what I can see, the whole team makes a genuine effort to show the real process. The thought, study, expertise and care that archaeologists practice in their daily jobs. It's kind of moving when I think about it. An honest picture of the lives of the peoples who lived there starts to emerge by the end. The whole team should take great pride in making exciting and genuinely educational content.
-
In regards to the difficulty of relocating the original excavation - I did archaeology in central California for almost 20 years, and it was our standard practice to put in some readily identifiable and relocatable “artifacts” before re-filling the excavation, for example, an aluminum soft-drink can at each corner of a unit. This would make it easier to determine later where our units had been, if we dug at the site later, and alert future archaeologists to the fact that this area had been previously disturbed.
-
Really enjoyed this. One of the pleasures is seeing the young archaeologists from the original series who are now the seasoned pros with decades of experience to draw on as they interpret new finds. The camaraderie of the original TT was always a draw and this has that same feeling.
-
That doll of Mick is a nice touch to remind us of the one who started it all... I've watched all 20 years of the original and I love that they've brought it back!... Cheers to all from Saratoga Springs NY!
-
Love this show as always. Watched so much of these episodes, I now find the answer to most of life's problems is to "put in a trench across it". ;)
-
Timeteam the greatest archaeological programs on any platform, thank you so much for getting me through tough times, and helping me to continue to love history.
