Whenever I need to adult and adopt a glass half full attitude, I think of Phil explaining what they learn when they don’t find “anything” and why that has value. It applies to life in so many ways. Such positivity. Such wisdom.
LOVE LOVE LOVE that Time Team has been brought back, and getting to see so many classic faces along with all the new ones! Not gonna lie, though, REALLY REALLY REALLY MISS Phil! I hope he's happy and healthy whatever he's up to these days. 💜
He's involved in the 'Waterloo Uncovered' project and presents the occasional video about the archaeological digs there. Phil is obviously not as mobile as he once was and leaves most of the digging to others but he seems happy with his lot. As and when he passes away (which is many years hence with any luck) I hope they bury him with his trusty trowel.
Thanks! But you could make it hours long, and I would still be glued to the video - Phil is always good for a smile. He is just weirdly adorable ❤ Greetings from Denmark 😊
Dear Phil he appeared on every show such a lovely man i miss him I started following him on the Wessex channel but it seemed to peter out I realise that Phil like myself is now in his 70s but his enthusiam is always catching would be great if he would make the odd cameo on the new shows
Dang, when I seen Phil's grinning chops I was in. I don't drink anymore but I'd bet anything this guy is a hoot tho have a beer with. Have a great time and probably come away a lot smarter. Subscribed. Surprised I wasn't already. Anyhoo, thumbs up, Time Team.
@@monicacall7532 Take a number and stand in a very long line. A lot of women find Phil absolutely adorable. Back when Time Team first started our Phil was drop dead gorgeous. Now he is a big old cuddly teddy bear.
@@ergot57 He was quite pleased with himself when they did a DNA test on him and found that he is pure Celt. Told Tony to get off HIS land. Did his little happy dance too.
'The Best of Phil'??? Are you serious Time Team? You should be ashamed of yourselves. Only 30 minutes? 'The best of Phil Harding' should be an entire series!!!! 30 minutes should just be the intro. Phil is THE MAN!
What a wonderful man. I always have a smile on my face when watching Phil. Not from funny; from delight. He is a genuine diamond in the rough. I hope he's well and happy with many years ahead of him yet. Much love, Phil! 🥰💗🤠
@@williampalmer8052 According to Paul Blinkhorn, a couple of years ago his beloved spade was backfilled accidentally in a trench, which Phil took as a sign to retire.
Phil is my favorite on the show, though I like a lot of the staff, and dislike a few. Always shocked when I get a comment bad mouthing him, but sadly it happens.
😢 this wasn’t anywhere close to the best of Phil Harding. It was missing: 1.“Manganese” 2. Henry Grace a dieu “lower” 3. Matt vs. Phil oration competition. 4. DNA reveal, “get off my land” 5. Mine’ll or Mildenhall 6. Bulb of percussion. 7. Sir Tony, “because you’ll do it” coin hoard. 8. “He’ll eat some ‘umble pie now” 9. “We’re having some problems with the presenter” 10. Phil can I get in your trench? 😡 ☠️ 11. Flyting with Matt.
Please try again. Phil deserves better and so do we. Perhaps also mute some of Tony’s more extreme and unwarranted insults, which were most often reserved for Phil. Far from being cheery banter between mates, they were goading, devoid of humour and unprofessional. Perhaps Phil didn’t show sufficient deference to his eminence?
It's way too confusing. The editing fails to seam together the episodes coherently. A simple line of text that includes the episode name and days (1-3) would be an easy fix.
I love Phil and appreciate that they created a program that is all about him BUT this must have been edited by someone suffering from extreme attention deficit disorder. Why all the bouncing back and forth between episodes?? It doesn't make this more interesting, just more disjointed and harder to follow. The sad thing is it's was intentionally done even though it was completely unnecessary and off putting.
Confession: during lockdown when I was binging all the old episodes of time team, I had quite a few dreams where Phil Harding was my boyfriend! I'm 34 and I've never had a thing for older men, but for some reason Phil and his legs were a nighttime feature for me for about a year 🥲
Somebody please go tell Phil that we love him.
I second this!
Please. I feel like he's everyone's favorite uncle

Phil Harding is a force of nature. I miss seeing him on the new TT digs. We Phil!
YES!!!!
all is now right wit the world!
the Mega-Phil Loop i wanted, has happened!
(though i feel it could be 3 times this long, honestly)

Time Team's corner stone. Respect for Phil, his hats and his knees.
His hat should have 30 minutes
And his pints! 🍻
"Manganese?"

Great idea !!
Mr Harding knows his stuff and he’s a good entertainer. Thank You Phil.
"David!" Cracks me up every time.
It’s the first thing that comes to mind when I think of Phil as it the only time he ever sounded cross. ♥️
Phil was and is still a National Treasure. Wishing you health, happiness and flint, Phil!
Phil Harding is why I watch Time Team, so the best of Phil Harding is the very best of time team. I ❤ Phil.
Same
Phil needs his own Show ❤
YES!!! We want Phil!!!
Any scene with Phil is the best of Phil. lol
He’s my favorite ❤️
The chemistry between Phil, Tony & Mick is great 🙂
The reason they started it all together :)
There will never be anyone like the mighty Phil!
Phil is the man!!😊

Phil is the BOMB!
Phil napping flint is my favorite.❤
I also want Phil bloopers please
Phil is the great equalizer of the group. :D
Love a bit of Phil, oh arrr!
30 min? It should be 30 hours
The bickering between John and Phil is always a laugh. XD
John: We don't need to dig...
Phil: How dare you! >8(
I heart Phil!
Aaww, Phils wonderful accent 🥰👌. I watch old episodes just so I can hear it 😅😃🇦🇺
Phil❤
Would love to see Phil on some new TT videos drinking tea chatting away
Or beer
Make that a pint!
If there isn't a clip of Phil going "oooh arrr we'll 'av that, we'll 'av thaaaat" I will be DISAPPOINT
For real
That's what I was thinking, too. We all know it's not a Phil Harding retrospective without at least one "oooh arr".
I ❤ Phil
Phil is a legend
Every person on earth deserves to have a few pints with Phil.
Phil Harding is my spirit animal! 🐘 ⚔️
Mind your knees! Manganese? Cracks me up every time!
WONDERFUL SITE DIGS I MISS SEEING PHIL
I’m so heartbroken that I will never meet Phil. I have a huge crush on him. His knowledge and passion for archeology and flint is so sexy!
And here I thought that I was alone in crushing on Phil!
@@monicacall7532 me too!

I see Phil at Wishbone Ash gigs in Wimborne. Always give him a nod. Lovely man.
They could do a whole show on John versus Phil. And another on John versus Stewart. 😅
Wouldn’t that be hilarious?
Please
Am I the only one who thinks the modern day QR-codes looks like something John and the GeoPhys-team came up with? ^^
🤣 now i cant unsee that...
I love Phil he is an entire show unto himself. He is incredibly funny, such a hardworking man. He and Tony together are amazing.
100% British he is. Just ask him! Thanks Phil.
@@ergot57 He was quite pleased with himself when they did a DNA test on him and found that he is pure Celt. Told Tony to get off HIS land. Did his little happy dance too.
@@DeborahParham-ve1vp Saw that. Was nice.
100% Saxon and a West Countryman like (loike) me (though I am 50% Irish and only 25% Saxon)
Aah Time Team. My happy place.

30 minutes is just a teaser! We need more Phil! “We need more maps! We need more maps! We need more maps!”🤣❤
Exactly.. ONLY 30 minutes?? Try 3 hours at the least... 30 hours would be proper.
Would have been better if Phil fans got to choose the clips rather than whomever did the clip picks.
Get more butthurt about a dead person you never met...
@@stephenwright414 - I met him, he was lovely - Tony wasn’t he was horrible :-)
As far as I know Phil still does digs with Wessex Archaeology? It would be cool if Time Team did an episode with them collaborating 👍
YES!!!
That is a serious bit of editing to get the best of Phil down to 30 min
More Phil! He’s got too much wisdom not to do an extended interview with him, especially now that he retired.
Hehe, abit messy tribute to our lovly Phil! Nevertheless, great to see you guys give him a video alone! 🥰🥰🥳
Deserves a Knighthood 🫡
to me he is a big Heart on two legs
Two gorgeous legs.
What a wonderful man. I always have a smile on my face when watching Phil. Not from funny; from delight. He is a genuine diamond in the rough. I hope he's well and happy with many years ahead of him yet. Much love, Phil! 🥰💗🤠
Our philosophy is a national treasure , he’s the jewel in the crown in this program
Batman & Robin - Phil with Ian in his JCB.
Love Phil!
Always fascinating folks 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🇬🇧
I’m disappointed that they didn’t include the one where Phil studied a geophys graph and mistook a letter for an anomaly.
I had to run to google to make sure he hadnt passed away 😭
He got married.
@@williamfindspeople4341: almost the same.....
I believe he's still working with Wessex Archaeology
@@williampalmer8052 According to Paul Blinkhorn, a couple of years ago his beloved spade was backfilled accidentally in a trench, which Phil took as a sign to retire.

More flint!
Love the classics.
Ere Tony, Come'n av a look at this. I've found some Roman Plaaaster
First scene my favorite 4 guys and Matt..
One of the National Treasures.
I miss Phil! Time team is not the same or as interesting without Phil! Tony plus Phil made Time Team!
Thanks!
Love him
Awesome!
Oooh, ahhhh!
In my screen it offers to translate to English. 🤣
@@Sk8Bettty Stone the crows!
@@annwagner5779 🤣🤣
Do you think when they created this program they knew it becomes the one of the best and iconic they ever produced?
To be fair, a "best of Phil" video should be about 9 hours long.
Would have been better if they had included clips from the earlier shows when Phil was younger.
He was the best one on there you
Phil and Mick were excellent, never patronising
they used to introduce Mick as a Field Archeologist but I never once saw him use a trowel
@@TheShootist Go back and watch the first episode of Time Signs. It predates Time Team and Mick is digging in a garden with a trowel.
Phil,tony and MICK. show me better tv........
@@mavvat Not possible.
Phil is my favorite on the show, though I like a lot of the staff, and dislike a few. Always shocked when I get a comment bad mouthing him, but sadly it happens.
Well, he's a bit of a curmudgeon, and some people don't like a gruff manner. But I like that kind of person.
@@sharimeline3077 Gruff is one thing, and I agree, I find it endearing, but some people say he doesn't know his craft.
@@PtolemyJones Oh I've never heard that. I'm sure he's been well employed as an archaeologist for decades, so there's that.
@@sharimeline3077 I think it's nonsense, but it did throw me that any one would say that.
@@PtolemyJonesThose would find fault with Jesus Christ

This is rather disjointed.
Who?
The archeological National Treasure of England, second only to Mick Aston.
Not a fan of arrogance.
Who is arrogant?
@schoolingdiana9086 That's what I'm asking to. . . But I see they've not elaborated yet !
Having worked at Wessex Archaeology I can assure you that Phil is many things, but never arrogant.
@@schoolingdiana9086 Tony sometimes, Phil NEVER.
