I believe this is one of my favorite episodes. 3rd time watching it, so probably! LOL I just love how Phil gets in there with those 3 boys and teaches them his craft with such joy. The way to educate children is to show them that learning is an adventure! Sadly, it's something frequently ignored!
This is perhaps my favorite episode, simply because the school children take part in the dig and show such a true interest in the archeology. It's quite lovely to see such bright and gleaming interest in human history!
I'll say. Even the you text students were included in important parts. Then the teachers also had other hands on projects. I bet tgey were teaching a great many different things based on this dig for weeks. Both beforehand and afterwards too.

It was nice to see my old Biology Professor Mr. Bentham at 44:59. Wonderful school. Many fond memories. Best wishes from an old American student! Would love to go back some day!

+Ss Buman it is, also interesting looking it up what happened after, for example they're still doing digs in Papcastle and now think the Vicus was even bigger than they thought back in 1999 (when these episodes were filmed)
It was great seeing the kids get in there with Phil and the gang, each learning a different aspect of Archaeology. There's no way this was a "wasted weekend." Tony worried over nothing. Great episode.
When I was young I got to work some maritime archaeological sites off of Southeastern Sicily. Sorry Tony, but there is no such thing as a waste of time dig. You always learn something. Even if it that there is nothing significant there.
Any time spent teaching a child, or young adult, something substantial (not the latest cheat code for the latest video game) is never waisted. From the tedious research to uncover facts and clues, to the arduous task of digging (by hand) for the historical remains; the time spent teaching these children was not waisted. I am certain that every last student will remember these three day for their entire lives. How can that be time waisted? It would be interesting to find out how many of these students went on to become some form of historians in their adult lives. Did the three diggers become field archeologist? Did anyone become history teachers; reconstructionist; researchers? In fact, I have to wonder how many times has The Time Team inspired young people to become archeologists or similar careers?
My favourite episodes are always the back yard digs and the digs that involve school children. The team always did such a great job around children. In this episode I realized that I had not noticed before how often Mick punctuated his sentences with "LOOK". I can't believe in all of the episodes I have watched and re-watched that I never noticed that before. LOL!
This is about my 200th time team ive watched,2020 into 2021.I concur with parrot,so nice to see the budding carenzas ,really being articulate,and interested in their history. What a shoutout to their parents who have obviously bought up their kids to be at their best. Girls you are all so pretty to boot.All the best going forward..
I love how they have the kids helping with almost every part of the dig & then some. Especially how the teachers came up with lessons based on the dig with things for the kids to build & do. A real hands on learning experience. Plus they even got a up close, relatively speaking, look at fairly big construction equipment too.
for the wealthy or at least well-healed. Independent Boarding school ages 3 to 19. £4668 per term. Fees include tuition and after school care but exclude uniform, public examination fees, transport and any specialized tuition
What well spoken and nice pupils! I am really impressed by the level of politeness and way of expressing themselves these children show- if we only could have such schools ( and pupils!) in Sweden! I wonder if anyone of them went on to become an archaeologist? Twenty three years ago- they will be parents themselves now many of them!
Tony, you said - monks. These Dominicans are not monks, they are friars. In England they are called the Blackfriars or the Order of Preachers. (In France they're called les Jacobins and in their church in Toulouse, there is the tomb of Saint Thomas Aquinas).They are a mendicant order and that means that they can go out of their friary or priory to preach and do pastoral work. The other main mendicant orders are the Franciscans (including the Capuchins), also known as Greyfriars (in France they were known as les Cordeliers) and the Augustinians. There are also the Whitefriars who are the Carmelites. Monks however follow the Rule of Saint Benedict and they take amongst their other vows, a vow of stability, which means they are cloistered. Obviously if there is a reason for them to leave a monastery, for example to go and study elsewhere, the Abbot can give his permission for them to do that.
I thought the headmaster was brilliant when he said that even though they didn't find a cathedral, they did experience how it is to look for and find the truth. Not great disappointment but rather squarely facing reality and getting the best from it. Maturity at it's best!
Poor Tony, running to and fro. He's probably under a lot of pressure to finish in the allotted three days. Would be nice to see a site dug to some form of conclusion (or at least revisit a previous site to obtain a more though-out conclusion). But what a brilliant way for the students to learn about their local history and that of their school.
Think of how different the climate must have been when the lowest wall in Carenza's trench was built. Colder weather would have locked up more water in ice, which would have lowered the water table- otherwise the builders' may have needed scuba gear.
The thing I like about Time Team- It is real. Not fiction all these kids are adults now. Even Holly Price, 1 of 3 lead girls to ask for the Dig is a Phd Eye Specialist in Optometry, Phil Harding is now 71, and is he really what an Oxford born person sounds like?
The part @ 15:13 where Tony says, "... but darkness is falling.", starts off a series of progressively darker shots. It was a nice effect in the dark, only half paying attention! haha
Strange how Sir Tony Robinson was depicted as a monk and when he lost his hair later on, the computer image was a dead ringer of how he would look in a decade or so . Not insulting the man in any though.
I'm not sure I would count the cloister trench as disappointing. If anything, it did establish a boundary for the cloister building. And who cares if you're digging an apse or some other building? At least people now know where _not_ to dig for their next attempt.
Technically, a 'cathedral' was simply a building where a bishop was in charge. It could be as simple as a mud hut, but it would still be a 'cathedral'. So if Bishop Herfas (sp?) moved his base from Elmham to Thetford and reused a Saxon church, that would still be a cathedral.. Modern people have got a stereotyped picture of St. John the Divine, St. Patrick's in New York City, Notre Dame de Paris, Winchester, and so many others that we have forgotten that simpler buildings could fit the bill.
An abbey is a home of a religious fraternity whose leader is called an abbot (from the Latin, Greek, and Aramaic words for "father"). A monastery is a specific type of religious home for a religious fraternity leading an ascetic life (monks). They may also be led by an abbot. A priory is a home of a religious fraternity or sorority led by a prior, a religious leader lower in rank than an abbot.
My only problem is I see a force ghost of Heinrich schliemann and he says in his best Obi-Wan/ Yoda... Troy also you did not find but this backyard very well you did destroy to tell people things. Things they knew before dug you did but funding for next season did you secure to Pub we will go
@@ErnestoBrausewind Not really. Obviously richer parents who have the option to give their children a better education might do that, but there are plenty of very good state schools. They do vary quite a lot, unfortunately. At least we have rankings for our schools, so you can get a good idea of how good the schools are in your area. You can often choose a better one, or move out of the area. In some counties they insist that all of their schools are good, and there is no way of judging the truth (something a dictatorship would tell the people, but is not the case in China). This is simply to hide the incompetence of the government and the lower standards.
@@dandare1001 Yes, like the awful neo-liberal system we now have it in Sweden.... we sadly have no proper national exams like you have in England and the teachers alone give the grades here. Many teachers are therefore under heavy pressure from their headmaster to give as good grades as "believeably" possible in order to attract more pupils and therefore more money ( each student means a set sum of money for the school, granted by the governement- no school, run by the local council or private, can charge any fees for tuition from the parents) So of course with this new system ( ca 25 years old) there has been a huge inflation in grades not comparable with any higher levels of knowledge in the pupils, actually the quality of students now getting into university is lower than in my day ( the eighties). Then we all went to the same kind of state schools, grading was still done by the teachers but so much more regulated and had to be probable when looking at what kind of pupils a school had. The teachers then were well educated, nowadays almost the only ones doing the teacher courses at university are the ones who did not t have grades enough for any other university education. My kids have had young teachers who cannot spell and who have been ,scarily, fairly ignorant. We also have a system where the parents now can choose what school they want for their kids and of course they choose the schools that give, yes give!, good grades and also the ones with the lesser amount of immigrant children. Sadly the big influx of immigrants ( 20% of the population in the last 20 years) has been a huge factor in the deterioration of the Swedish education system. These kids, of corse, need loads of help with the language and are usually far behind the Swedish kids in general knowledge due to either coming from poorer countries with a bad education system or/ and they have parents with a very low or very basic education that means they cannot help their kids. So Swedish parents, who do not want their kids being without any teachers help in school, choose the schools with as few immigrant kids in as possible. A school in my hometown has only 6 % properly Swedish speaking pupils! That of course has made the former equal schools in Sweden as unequal as they were a hundred years ago before the big " levelling" school reforms in the 1950-ies. I went to a school where the pupils came from all walks of life and what mattered was your brain and your ability to learn, not if your dad was a doctor or a plumber, everyone had the same education and the same , almost, possibilities . Now that is long long gone and the Swedish educational system is a shambles. I so wish we had some kind of eternal exam system, that would be an incentive to actually teach kids what they ought to know, not just like here when a teacher can give any grade they want in spite of what the pupil actually know.. External exams would be so much more reliable, equal for all and a great tool to se what schools actually are the best. we used to have such exams, but they were taken away fifty years ago as they were deemed " elitist"... why should anyone be surprised at the falling standard of knowledge in Sweden?
@@SUSSDUE I'm sorry to hear this. Sweden is (or at least was) known for a good education system. People just need to fight for a better system. Many immigrants also want the best for their children. The way forward is to convince more parents that things should change. Good luck!
I really wish you Europeans would stop calling soccer football. It's rather stupid, the game is really rather dull and boring in camparison to the real Football!
Premier League Football is neither dull nor boring. It requires skill, agility, intelligence and stamina. The object is to actually move the ball and score goals. American football is just a bunch of heavily padded, over paid, over indulged guys trying to bash each other half to death.

Battle has a bit of a history to it.

I'm not sure I would count the cloister trench as disappointing. If anything, it did establish a boundary for the cloister building. And who cares if you're digging an apse or some other building? At least people now know where _not_ to dig for their next attempt.

What is the difference between friary, priory and a monastery?
An abbey is a home of a religious fraternity whose leader is called an abbot (from the Latin, Greek, and Aramaic words for "father").
A monastery is a specific type of religious home for a religious fraternity leading an ascetic life (monks). They may also be led by an abbot.
A priory is a home of a religious fraternity or sorority led by a prior, a religious leader lower in rank than an abbot.
I always have to look it up: the US equivalent of Sixth Form is 12th graders, or high school seniors.
Mick looks like paddington bear
6:10 I'm sure Tony will have a cunning plan 😀
No post-prandial drinks in this episode as they're at a school. :)
They go around back with the students an have some of theirs 😊
9:10 That was really an intelligent question this young man asked.
I'm very curious what happened to Vicki Green. Is she still making art?
10:45 tony looks like someone on a register
11:10 romulan!
She does look like one. Now I can't unsee it. lol
Is this the school with the Doctor Who aliens in the basement?
Somebody get Tony a sedative
How adorable are the girls in the junior school? And their depiction of bishop Felix (complete with red, alcoholic face) at 19:00!
😊😊
@7:15…so good with kids.
I wonder what these kids are doing in life now :)
Nice to see when kids were not glued to smart phones, and adults for that matter.
Gotta remember that the technology we have now wasn't around then just look at the computer they use.
@FESERFACE don't think it's a poor school these were filmed in the early 90's no smart phones around then.
18:53 33:39 42:00 43:20 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Harry Potter and the Lost Cathedral.
Friar Baldrick. 😂
Every time the professor wants to speak Credenza tries to take his eyes out with her trowel!
Ron C Carenza doesn’t know when to shut up.
@10:44 What Tony would've looked like if he had turned into a meth addict.
The friar would be teaching about the new ideas in religion? Are you serious? It was Catholic, man!
I went to a Dominican College and yes I had friars for teachers.I am talking about Dominicus College in Nijmegen in the Netherlands.
45:25 defensive
My only problem is I see a force ghost of Heinrich schliemann and he says in his best Obi-Wan/ Yoda... Troy also you did not find but this backyard very well you did destroy to tell people things. Things they knew before dug you did but funding for next season did you secure to Pub we will go
Since when do pupils dictate what is going to happen to the school? Robinson says “the 6th Form want this,” and “the pupils want that...”
Is english school kids really dressed like that all the time?
Yes. School isn't a fashion show like in some countries. We go to school to learn (theoretically).
@@dandare1001 Yep it's not about which clothes your parents can afford but which school...
@@ErnestoBrausewind Not really. Obviously richer parents who have the option to give their children a better education might do that, but there are plenty of very good state schools. They do vary quite a lot, unfortunately. At least we have rankings for our schools, so you can get a good idea of how good the schools are in your area. You can often choose a better one, or move out of the area.
In some counties they insist that all of their schools are good, and there is no way of judging the truth (something a dictatorship would tell the people, but is not the case in China). This is simply to hide the incompetence of the government and the lower standards.
@@dandare1001 Yes, like the awful neo-liberal system we now have it in Sweden.... we sadly have no proper national exams like you have in England and the teachers alone give the grades here. Many teachers are therefore under heavy pressure from their headmaster to give as good grades as "believeably" possible in order to attract more pupils and therefore more money ( each student means a set sum of money for the school, granted by the governement- no school, run by the local council or private, can charge any fees for tuition from the parents) So of course with this new system ( ca 25 years old) there has been a huge inflation in grades not comparable with any higher levels of knowledge in the pupils, actually the quality of students now getting into university is lower than in my day ( the eighties). Then we all went to the same kind of state schools, grading was still done by the teachers but so much more regulated and had to be probable when looking at what kind of pupils a school had. The teachers then were well educated, nowadays almost the only ones doing the teacher courses at university are the ones who did not t have grades enough for any other university education. My kids have had young teachers who cannot spell and who have been ,scarily, fairly ignorant. We also have a system where the parents now can choose what school they want for their kids and of course they choose the schools that give, yes give!, good grades and also the ones with the lesser amount of immigrant children. Sadly the big influx of immigrants ( 20% of the population in the last 20 years) has been a huge factor in the deterioration of the Swedish education system. These kids, of corse, need loads of help with the language and are usually far behind the Swedish kids in general knowledge due to either coming from poorer countries with a bad education system or/ and they have parents with a very low or very basic education that means they cannot help their kids. So Swedish parents, who do not want their kids being without any teachers help in school, choose the schools with as few immigrant kids in as possible. A school in my hometown has only 6 % properly Swedish speaking pupils! That of course has made the former equal schools in Sweden as unequal as they were a hundred years ago before the big " levelling" school reforms in the 1950-ies. I went to a school where the pupils came from all walks of life and what mattered was your brain and your ability to learn, not if your dad was a doctor or a plumber, everyone had the same education and the same , almost, possibilities . Now that is long long gone and the Swedish educational system is a shambles. I so wish we had some kind of eternal exam system, that would be an incentive to actually teach kids what they ought to know, not just like here when a teacher can give any grade they want in spite of what the pupil actually know.. External exams would be so much more reliable, equal for all and a great tool to se what schools actually are the best. we used to have such exams, but they were taken away fifty years ago as they were deemed " elitist"... why should anyone be surprised at the falling standard of knowledge in Sweden?
@@SUSSDUE I'm sorry to hear this. Sweden is (or at least was) known for a good education system. People just need to fight for a better system. Many immigrants also want the best for their children. The way forward is to convince more parents that things should change. Good luck!
I really wish you Europeans would stop calling soccer football. It's rather stupid, the game is really rather dull and boring in camparison to the real Football!
When you grow up, you'll learn that a game named football existed here well before your ancestors even began to eradicate the native Americans.
Premier League Football is neither dull nor boring. It requires skill, agility, intelligence and stamina. The object is to actually move the ball and score goals. American football is just a bunch of heavily padded, over paid, over indulged guys trying to bash each other half to death.
I know in our football we wear pads cause we are that tough, right 😊
