One of the things I really like about Time Team is that they include the locals kids as much as possible. This gives them the opportunity to fell a sense of ownership over what is happening. I think that is really important.
Indeed! I can't watch American TV, even narrators in documentaries are so overdramatic. I've seen Time Team countless times and still haven't had enough of it.
i remember this very well and have fond memories of talking with the entire team during their time in sunderland and i will never forget meeting you all but also how tony was stressed at a load of points but was a true soldier and held strong
Hi Chris, can you tell me if they managed to develop the area into a park? Of all the episodes, this is the one I am most curious to know what happened to the site.
I'd love to know if the 2 youths who assisted in the geophysics early on in the project went on to careers in that field or anything archaeologically related. It's a wonderful idea to get youth involved. Hopefully, they develop a positive interest, becoming the future protectors of their heritage.
@@geoffluskI know this is an older comment, but last time I visited the castle it, and its surrounds, were looking much nicer. Since then it has regained a roof and windows and is now a cafe and community venue. A labour of love.
I’m feeling so stressed bcs I was watching the news and this, being about stuff very very long ago, calms me. I’m not sure why but as long as it predates the US civil war I can cope.
I love seeing everyone so young. I discovered Time Team during lockdown and watch a couple episodes a week. I feel like I know these people and they’ve become my friends. Man that sounds corny.
im 52 now and couldn't wait to get home from high school at 15 to watch Mick, Tony, Phil and Victor.....one of the best shows ever produced and I miss the Ones who have passed on....legends.
Nope. This is the first episode where Mick wore the striped jumpers he became famous for. The producers asked him to wear something more colorful, so he found the most gaudy jumper possible in a thrift store and wore it as a joke. It became his trade mark. 😃
I know right. I thought it was great. Wish we could get suspendees in my area to be helpful like this. I think this is a far better use of suspension time than no activity at all.
@@lauramatilda3279 Exactly; no school, and time at home? That's not a punishment! Not that helping out is or should be a punishment, but it teaches responsibility and combats laziness.
My favourite part of this episode is Mick explaining the stratigraphy of his dessert while Tony stands there thinking, "man, just eat the bloody thing!"
Would be extremely fun to see one of the kids from back then appearing here commenting now! Knowing that they are about the same age now, as most of the Time Team crew was then... It's what history is all about isn't it :)
How cool them getting those troubled Lads involved. Once being a trouble maker kid myself im sure all they need is something to grab their interest. I wonder how this experience effected them over the years.
It is interesting to see the dynamics of this show changing over time. Early on, Tony seemed to be eager to give his opinion and then he gets criticized by the archaeologists. By the last season, they really are a well oiled machine.
I agree but its good because it gives the view of someone who doesn't know a "common man" if you will. I like that by the end they don't give him so much grief because he shows that he has learned from them and is actually giving some good opinions that help the team.
@@harrym9049 Yes, Tony learned from the best. No degree could equate to the knowledge and experiences he had working alongside Phil, Mick, Francis, Helene, Stewart, John…for two decades.
@@OolongTGuy According to Wikipedia Tony was given an Honorary Doctorate in 2005 by Exeter University for his work on Time Team along with Honorary Professorships to Mick Aston and the series producer Tim Taylor
@@harrym9049 I seem to recall reading something about that a few years back. What a fantastic experience for any fan of history. Thankfully we all could go along for the ride as viewers, even here in the States.
I wonder if any of the kids became involved in history in some capacity! I'm sure their time spend in time teams enthusiastic company, would've been pivotal. Lucky kids to be sure! Really truly love you guys! From New Zealand 🇳🇿🙋♀️
Haha I highly doubt it :D they only went over to see if they could nick any of the geophys equipment and they ended up getting roped into doing some work!
I wonder how many people John has inspired to get into Geophysics. I wish this was around in my small NZ school. It looks like fun and I would've paid attention in science class
I had no idea i was even interested in this sort of thing until a few year's ago when i first discovered Time team for the first time. Being American we dont have anything near the history they have in England like the old castles they dig up or the roman sites we dont cherish shit here which is disheartening. I love watching these episodes i have seen many but not all of them, like this episode i keep finding ones I missed. I love this stuff. Tony and mick and phil are awesome, Mick was a real cool dude.
Reminds me of Biker Grove. Thank you Time Team, These are have kept me going during the lockdown. These older programs remind me of Sunday afternoons with my grandfather, waiting for teatime, Time Team at Teatime. Stay safe everyone.
I liked how they let the kids be part of the dig! The good old days before wide use of internet, and no kids with cell phones! So they actually played and learned outside! I wonder if they ever developed the site like they said!
What an unexpected joy to find this series available! I loved this series growing up in the 90's, and I can't wait to revisit some of my favorite episodes!
I have been rewatching all the Britain and Dutch to hear if my last name come up . Y .well my blood line as of now is back to 1610 .Just going lose my mind if I hear the team say my name .😢😢😢😲😲😢😢😢🙄🙄😂
These shows have me completely rivetted to my laptop. It always amazes me how you know what your actually looking at. I am afraid i am with Tony i see only rubble at this stage. In previous videos i was able to see clearly a wall or part of a building just by looking at what they are showing us. Archeology has always fascinated me. History not so much but after watching a few episodes they are joined hand in hand. I have learned so much about the country of my birth through to adulthood in my mid 20s than i ever knew existed in places i have never see in person. So thank you so much for that. I agree with preserving this castle and if possible restoring the Castle to its former glory, i think that is a fantastic idea. I have always been a person who thought it is a great idea to preserve these ancient building to show how people lived back then as apposed to today. Life was very difficult in those days if you didn't work hard you starved. I wish more people were interested in keeping some of the old castles and restoring them instead of knocking things down before they are surveyed and being aware there is something there that has historical value something to be kept as opposed to being levelled. It breaks my heart to see old heritage building being knocked down its very sad. I have to say Sue, i love your blouse, where did you get it? it is stunning. Time team i think you are doing a wonderful job trying ti safe as much of our heritage as you can. Keep up with the great work your doing.
This one the Medieval Dining Hall was great I loved how they showed the town all that was under the ground and how the gardens where set up it where the Castle was fabulous
No it was 1995, I went to Sunderland university and hated the place. I was glad to graduate and leave! Give me Newcastle any day, far more civilized people. Mackems are backwards idiots!
@@thegrimreaper1991 , by my standard, it's the modern people who are backwards idiots. Anybody sticking closer to the old ways are closer to right. So how do they compare using that as a measure?
With those recreation videos you have shared about what it was like for recreating medieval castles and villages there would be no surprise at all that people would come in like a free for all on a place that was in ruins at that present time.
There was one TT episode when an artisan produced medieval designs in inlaid tiles with two or three colours of clay. Search TH-cam for other modern demos of this craft. These days they are often (incorrectly) called encaustic tiles.
I think the whole site should be excavated like Pompeii. It would make a lovely picnic site. Plenty of room for the kids to play and full of interesting historical markers like "Why did the Churchwarden cut off the legs of Baron William Hilton's memorial in the last century?" and other fun facts.
I love these old episodes, this one is a good one, love this old castle 😊 Also, I love womens fashion from when this episode was filmed. The white top being worn by one of the ladys at 21:42 is gorgeous, wish we wore clothes like this now.
Gotta love the medieval handworker at around 37th minute, that teaches the children how to commit forgery and fraud by selling led and tin as silver xD
yay Time Team- been watching you for years- great show! I love Tony's shirt, and the fact that his beer was still so full at the pub meeting; second drink? ;) cheers mates!
As this episode evolves it becomes easier to see there are several era's being discovered here, i think it is best explained in the 'Gold in the Moat' programe about Codnor Castle.
Watching these episodes I’m so impressed with Victor who quietly goes about knocking out the most amazing art work! RIP Victor
And seeing a young Phil Harding
I wonder if his artwork is displayed somewhere.
@@DavidSmith-yx7knI’ve wondered this before too
@@DavidSmith-yx7kn The majority of it is probably in an archive, but time team have several of his art books for sale
Isn't he wonderful! Always so impressed by his artwork.
One of the things I really like about Time Team is that they include the locals kids as much as possible. This gives them the opportunity to fell a sense of ownership over what is happening. I think that is really important.
i love this show. british tv is so nice to watch while american tv is just so abrasive. i'm glad i found these shows.
I discovered this show on Amazon Prime a few months ago, and am now up to Season 10. It's a wonderful show.
Indeed! I can't watch American TV, even narrators in documentaries are so overdramatic. I've seen Time Team countless times and still haven't had enough of it.
"You ought to see how an archeologist eats a trifle". Mick made this show. What a character.
I don't know. Did he use a trowel?
i remember this very well and have fond memories of talking with the entire team during their time in sunderland and i will never forget meeting you all but also how tony was stressed at a load of points but was a true soldier and held strong

I.too, would love to know how the project has gone
I’m feeling so stressed bcs I was watching the news and this, being about stuff very very long ago, calms me. I’m not sure why but as long as it predates the US civil war I can cope.
Time to rewatch the entire show in HD as they get uploaded.
Hopefully all will be remastered. Love Time Team.
*_Definitely_* , I even got my mother hooked on in too!
Always love watching these old episodes and then googling what has happened to the site since the airing.
Feels like proper sleuthing! :D
One thing that is certain: the crew is positive and upbeat and i never have to deal with negativity with Time Team. Thanks.
I love seeing everyone so young. I discovered Time Team during lockdown and watch a couple episodes a week. I feel like I know these people and they’ve become my friends. Man that sounds corny.
We’re all pretty corny then!
im 52 now and couldn't wait to get home from high school at 15 to watch Mick, Tony, Phil and Victor.....one of the best shows ever produced and I miss the Ones who have passed on....legends.
he has a knitter in the family who loves knitting stripes and he appreciates the work that goes into it. BRAVO mic
I read that someone complained about his drab attire in the first season, and viewers kept sending him sweaters.
Nope.
This is the first episode where Mick wore the striped jumpers he became famous for.
The producers asked him to wear something more colorful, so he found the most gaudy jumper possible in a thrift store and wore it as a joke.
It became his trade mark.
😃
I appreciate the kids are helping “cause they can’t attend school” ☺️ good hands on education.
I know right. I thought it was great.
Wish we could get suspendees in my area to be helpful like this.

@@lauramatilda3279 Exactly; no school, and time at home? That's not a punishment! Not that helping out is or should be a punishment, but it teaches responsibility and combats laziness.
And they probably ended up being a lot more engaging as well.
I just discovered this show and now I'm compelled to binge watch it lol
Me too !
Abbie has tons of hiking and backpacking videos. they are great! Please check them out
I'm running out of episodes....
It is addictive.
Same here!
You can always tell its an older show because Tony still has hair and steps into trenches without asking.
Haha, i love seeing people evolve with the series too! :)
That and there tech is sh#t and you hear about some "brand new" technology from the cold war.
@@theromanorder the tech was pretty cutting edge at the time, and rather impressive.
or how clean Phil's hat is...
@@michaelfischer4714 I thougth just the same: He just bought that hat back than.
Tony and Time Team never cease to entertain and enlighten me
I love micks analogy of archeology to a trifle
Love watching these shows.
We move from middle to old age together ,
My favourite part of this episode is Mick explaining the stratigraphy of his dessert while Tony stands there thinking, "man, just eat the bloody thing!"
Now I want to watch an archaeologist eat a trifle.
I enjoy your interaction with the local people , especially the kids, is very inspiring .
Would be extremely fun to see one of the kids from back then appearing here commenting now!

Wait until it becomes background noise, and you look up at the sound of a found wall or pot sherd find.
Enjoy 😊

You'll get in trouble confusing Geordies and Mackems in the north east! The accent is very different
Love these older shows, That HAIR Tony. Actually bought a VPN so I can watch their archived videos from the BBC
It was channel 4. Not the BBC.
@@jonathanbennetts2632 You're right it was channel 4. Im in the states, as far as I'm concerned all British TV is from the BBC. lol
@randsterama get the fuck over yourself. It was a fucking joke.
I love the kids: We got suspended from school. What should we do? Let's go watch an archeological excavation!
Madeline Stillwater I love them too! I wonder if any of these kids became archeologists. They seem very interested and engaged.
It’s so funny they get suspended from school and now they’re on time team
Punishment served!
Hey, at least they learnt something. More than most kids do on their suspension.
They got some tips on how to counterfit jewlery...
I liked how they let the kids be part of the dig! The good old days before wide use of internet, and no kids with cell phones! So they actually played and learned outside! I wonder if they ever developed the site like they said!
These are great quality and well edited. Big fan of the show and appreciate your efforts getting it out there. Thank you!
I am having such fun watching all these old TIME TEAM programs. Tony’s shirt in this one is AMAZING!!! 80’s?
95
I believe this was actually the first episode of Time Team I ever saw, and I was hooked ever since.
For me too! It was shown on the Discovery Channel in the Netherlands. Here I am, 20-odd years later, with a Master's degree in Archaeology.
Love these. Thanks for taking the time to put them up for us all to see.
Blimey, they all look so young!
Good heavens! How could they be so young-looking?
This was recorded 26 years ago and aired 25 years ago ;)
@@joshschneider9766 thanks Josh I now really feel my age...hehehe HAPPY DAYS matey
So funny to see Phil's hat without the nasty stains!
What an unexpected joy to find this series available! I loved this series growing up in the 90's, and I can't wait to revisit some of my favorite episodes!
They are.fundraising for.new episodes on patreon
I absolutely adore how they welcomed all those children to look and learn a bit about that coin! Paused to share, back to viewing.
I am addicted to the Time Team!
I love that they are including kids in this stuff
Excellent remastered episode.
Love watching these old episodes. This show is so nostalgic for me.
A huge thank you for this wonderful series and quality - greetings from Denmark
Oh, where can i buy all these episodes as a collector’s box!? I want my children to grow up with quality television!
I so hope the town continued with digging. What a lovely place to live. Thanks TT.
Love how the show brings out the different characters. Phil to the historian: "you go to your books while we start diggin." Great stuff. Hilarious!
Love this episode, community involvement and humour is top notch
Love these old eps. I binged watched all the seasons up to like season 9 last year
Greetings from Eugene, Oregon. I enjoy history especially the Britains history.
Have a look at meet the ancestors☺
Yeah also Irish RM☺ all creatures great and Small☺
I also enjoy British history! It’s so rich and goes soo far back!
I have been rewatching all the Britain and Dutch to hear if my last name come up . Y .well my blood line as of now is back to 1610 .Just going lose my mind if I hear the team say my name .😢😢😢😲😲😢😢😢🙄🙄😂
Greetings from Canada! in love with this show, just found out about it recently and trying to watch all that I can.
Same here in Southern USA
You two are in for a treat. If you have amazon prime you can watch seasons 11-19 or something like that
You're in for a treat - the show aired for 20 seasons.
Just wait til you see the Isle of Man episode!
I have watched the whole series on TH-cam. I just searched for the episodes 1 at a time. That was a few years back. I'm rewatching it now. Love it!
The clothes, hair, make-up, accessories. It's just as interesting as the castle.
Tony’s shirt is bringing me back to childhood. Love the blokes! 😊

Gotta love Tony's mullet! I had one back then. 😆
I Googleed the the castle and it's quite tidy now, great to see the old castle being looked after.
ok got it! Tony looks like Mike Myers in Wayne's World.. That said brilliant chemistry between the team.
These are so cozy to watch thanks alot for putting them up!
Wow that local dude is such a character!
Archeologically 1990's 😉
Thank You for posting!
I was wondering why they didn't mention those ancient CRT monitors they found.
Those boys got a hands-on education this day! Wonder what they are doing today!
I never noticed Tony had an earring in these early episodes! 😂
😯
The 90s were a wilde fashion era. My dad had an earring too, they were somewhat common.
I thought for sure that Tony was gay after watching this episode.
I love Time Team. My favorite program :-D
This episode was from 1995.....fast forward to 2019.....still not finished
maybe 1985.
No it was 1995, I went to Sunderland university and hated the place. I was glad to graduate and leave! Give me Newcastle any day, far more civilized people. Mackems are backwards idiots!
This is a reposting channel
The Great Cornholio
Graffiti on the building says 1993 so we know it’s after that.
@@thegrimreaper1991 , by my standard, it's the modern people who are backwards idiots. Anybody sticking closer to the old ways are closer to right.
So how do they compare using that as a measure?
Greetings from Sorocaba, SP - Brasil.
Love this show!
I love the bon vivant vibe from Robin Bush. R.I.P..
With those recreation videos you have shared about what it was like for recreating medieval castles and villages there would be no surprise at all that people would come in like a free for all on a place that was in ruins at that present time.
Thank you.

I would LOVE to see the Flemish tiles being made.
There was one TT episode when an artisan produced medieval designs in inlaid tiles with two or three colours of clay. Search TH-cam for other modern demos of this craft. These days they are often (incorrectly) called encaustic tiles.
Best and most wholesome use of child labor{sic} I've ever seen.
Also a link for Merch might cut down on the adverts.
Just imagine what an archaeology course would be like at a University in London! Intense!
Time team should revisit the development of this castle..
My favorite episode for sure
Always interesting
Tony’s mullet was stuff that legends were made of. lol
Wow I just looked up that this show had 20 seasons!! Please upload them all
All the episodes are here if you look for them.
Amazon Prime also has them
@@patriotsfan123 Here they're _free._
I think the whole site should be excavated like Pompeii. It would make a lovely picnic site. Plenty of room for the kids to play and full of interesting historical markers like "Why did the Churchwarden cut off the legs of Baron William Hilton's memorial in the last century?" and other fun facts.
Thanks for sharing.
I always love Tony’s outfits from back then.
Geophysics then and now. Such progress 😊⛏🧲
I love it when they include the kids.
I love these old episodes, this one is a good one, love this old castle 😊
Also, I love womens fashion from when this episode was filmed. The white top being worn by one of the ladys at 21:42 is gorgeous, wish we wore clothes like this now.
95 eh. Those kids are in their 30's now. Love this show.
0:59 -- 1:17 -- Tony, that's an excellent way to make friends with the locals: criticize their treasured castle.
He really is/was a loveable, uh, jerk.
Gotta love the medieval handworker at around 37th minute, that teaches the children how to commit forgery and fraud by selling led and tin as silver xD
Very good show Y’al..
Omg they all have hair..hahaha Phil is adorable..Patricia
yay Time Team- been watching you for years- great show! I love Tony's shirt, and the fact that his beer was still so full at the pub meeting; second drink? ;) cheers mates!
When they brought the school kids on site to do manual work because they were suspended 😂🤣
As this episode evolves it becomes easier to see there are several era's being discovered here, i think it is best explained in the 'Gold in the Moat' programe about Codnor Castle.
love Time Team :-D
Tony looks like he belongs on a Miami vice episode
I have some Hylton ancestors -now I have to go dig up my family tree research - lol
30:08 The guy making the fire accidentally sets his hair on fire!
I thought Tony was incredibly rude, that is a magnificent building.
Great experience for two boys who may find incentive for doing better in school
I always have an impression that they are like the A-team with Tony being Face ;-)
We just celebrated the 25th anniversary of the airing of this episode. I wonder whats become of it since.
watching . and Tony has a smart mouth ///often on this show .
Have you noticed on the Time Team Seal, the first of the three profile images looks like Caernsa.
aw and I love Tonys shirt
