- An unassuming field in Leicestershire provides the team with a prize that has eluded them for 15 years. In a first for the programme, Tony Robinson and the team finally uncover the rarest of archaeological finds: an Anglo-Saxon settlement. In an attempt to discover the true origin of Britain's most famous Wessex Man, Phil Harding undergoes a DNA test to establish where his ancestors came from.

I nearly switched off when I saw Dan Snow. As I reached for the control, Timetime came on, Snow disappeared, and life was good again.
6:40 I think a reason that we dont often find many Anglo-Saxon settlements that Mick left out is that theyre all currently being lived in and built over. Of the 12,000~ settlements recorded in the Domesday Book, only 1,000 of them are no longer inhabited
I also believe that even if we did excavate them there might be nothing left because they might have been destoryed in the building of new settlements.
Oh how I miss this programme..............
"Get off me land!" LOVE ya Phil!
"Moi land" 👍
@@edwardfletcher7790 It's Me* land not Moi 😆 🤣 😂
@@natashabegley1346 I'm quoting exactly how Phil pronounces it.
He's got such a great accent, very easy on the ears.
The only problem with this series is that I don't get enough sleep, I stay up way too late watching! 😂😂 I love them all, such great work!
I love this stuff so much, I became a professional environmental Archeologist in America.
HA, same. I have it on repeat in the background when at my computer. Comfort show.
Time Team was the first series I ever binge-watched when I accidentally came across it about 10 years ago. I still love re-watching the shows, and am looking forward to the new revival.
Behind Nash cottages in Ludenham, Faversham, Kent there is a big field and as a kid 50 years ago the farmer plowed the field and i used to find hundreds of pieces of pottery. I never thought much about it but nowadays I realize it was a goldmine.
I have to say Phil is one of the most likable people on the show. He's just so pleasant and fun to watch. He's contagious honestly.
Saxon longhouses. A architectural design that rooting back to the first Neolithic longhouses of Danubian civilization
these series are absolute gold
I was so glad to hear Phil’s DNA results - I just knew he was for real. Brilliant video. I so enjoy Time Team. It’s fascinating thanks so much again bringing history into our homes 🌻
This documentary was super entertaining and full great information. Thank you! God bless us all.
And Phil is a CELT!!! How awesome!!
Actually most don't realize, genetically - we don't know who the Celts actually were.
Hers a copy of my Comment:
He is original, That's for sure!
Copy:
*It is Not Celt, or Celtic Orgin* (unless the Basque are the Celts), we really don't know what Celts were,
*it is Gael, Gaelic, Phil is original English, and they like the Irish and Welsh (the Early migrants that came, post Flood) and they were BASQUE,* i.e., "Iberian" and per their History. "from Atlantica" (be that Atlantis or another area "on the Atlantic").
The others are British, (Anglo Saxon i.e. Germanics)., and I would say "and Normans", but they too are "Germanics" ... then there's a few Roman descendants scattered about.
Phil is more related to me, than his British friends and he is more authentic to England than the Germanic Queen.
No wonder Phil likes his "Pints"! God Bless him, his is One of my People, a Similar Tribe!

@Celto Loco
No, that would be Germanics. Phil is original English. If interested,

I love these guys. What a great watch. Genuinely fun and educational
I am always astounded by the sheer amount of knowledge and motivation, that the British have about their history. I wish my country was the same (Belgium).
Archeology is almost non existent in the USA
More great content. I love coming across a time team ep I haven't seen and fall in love with the series all over again. " Get off me land!" love it.
"Moi land"
I loved this from rewatching it!! 🥲🤣
Love these guys & gals who made up this series! 👏🏼😟😟👍❤️
Every time I see TT. I think of Mick, fondly. Also when the new TT began I was so glad some of old members remain ….
Phil's ancestry makes perfect sense, as from western England, home of Mesolithic Cheddar Man and the Celtic Fringe.
Ah, but it all depends what side of the Avon you're born. (I comes up from Zummerzet, where't zider apples grow,)
@@betty5064 True. Phil was born in Oxford but grew up in Wiltshire. Still, he speaks West Country rather than West Midlands. I've debated with friends whether Shakespeare's accent (or dialect) would have been more WC than WM.
his ancestors might have hunted in doggerland, too, before it got soaking wet and unaccessible. so he basically knows more about britain as everybory else. genetically speaking, lol
@@the_rover1 no. the neo-lithic population of Britain was completely replaced by the Beaker People (the same people who built Stonehenge) around 4000 BC.
Yes,there is a lot going on historically in my part of the world.If only I was still there.I am wondering what's going on regarding the possibility that young Edward,the elder prince in the Tower,was spirited away to Devon,to be brought up in safe obscurity on land which belonged to his half brother.
also what a master machine operator Ian was. Scrape a spit off like butter.
Four by ten meters! Gotta love it. A Dark Ages singlewide.
Ian is a real gem!
So happy to see Phil's DNA test results 👍
I keep expecting Tony to find the World's largest turnip (again). Pete.
All I can say is that when I heard him go, "YYYyyYYyYYyYYYYESS!!!!" that's true love. 9:36
The animation of the Island of Britain as Phil took me OUT. I spat water on my keyboard!
Sam looks like the offspring of Elvis and Stephen Fry. This is a great dig!
I was just think holy shut Elvis is actually alive dam I lost that bet for a second
Phil is a proud Celtic Renaissance man. 20,000 years! Top that Mate.
@Sebastian Cody that’s BS! I entered in a made up Instagram name and it said it had hacked the account and proceeded to ask for a NON REFUNDABLE $12 for the password. I verified that no account existed under the name I entered. SCAMMER!
Historians: "'The Dark Ages' is an unfair name for that period in history."
Time Team: "We have found next to no archaeology from that period in history."
No where near as clever a response as you think this is.
But we have found DNA, culture, law, and language.
Thanks!
Thank you so much for uploading this video. It is helping me get through the pandemic!
Love this show..good people
I really like the English environment.
I can immagen why my Frisian forfathers went oversees.
The map with Phil's head, lol
I love Paul, a pottery expert!! Where is your bike ?"
Thank you for this series! I love archaeology & these shows are entertaining as well as informative. Fun to watch & I find myself rooting for them as they work.
Bessie,why don't you come on a dig if you haven't already tried it?
25:16 ive never seen two guys like this get that exited about a pot and i love it.
Congrats to the Team!
Fantastic episode!
Lol, that chart of phil's ancestry is hilarious. Also awww, so many people marked lovable
"Flint" as a possible ancestor 😂
am I the only one who watches this show right after going to bed?
I find it ASMR
Love this program but why only 3 days ?!? 10 days would be so much more satisfying !!!
It’s expensive. And these archeologists have day jobs
@@Tawadeb i am also sure it would take many more days, if not weeks or months to do the prep work for such a program? after all one does not go off and start 3 says digging without some preliminarily work?
@@benediktmorak4409 usually the local archeology group has started but time team has more resources
@@Tawadeb thank you for your reply. what would also interesting to know, what happened after the 3 day dig. will everything closed up once more. pr are the local owners of a castle, house r field exploiting it further? will be for sure also interesting for visitors. and in one case they found a whole bunch of bones. common sense and decency would suggest that they will get a proper burial? and not just chucked into the ground and covered over once more? i love the episodes, but not once i have seen or heard about a - follow up - . what happened after the time team leaves. suppose i will write to them and ask questions there as well?
@@benediktmorak4409 there is always a team that fills it in. Matt used to help fill the digs back in once records had been done
My Grandmother's surname is Crowder and its a Anglo-Saxon surname of Crowther
I love this documentary 🤙🍻🇳🇿👊
You guys the best !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
11:30 "It was you!" always reminds me of Father Ted
RIP Tonys hair 5:53
Phil is always s jolly!♡
Awesome 👏🏼
no rain?🌧🌧yay!!
thank you
Nice
Excellent stuff as always! One thing though... does anybody else notice the resemblance between Phil and one of the drummers in Clanadonia? They even move in the same way, only difference is that Phil uses a hat while the drummer uses a beanie... perhaps they are brothers!
Seems to me that it takes a keen eye and perhaps a keener imagination to recognise Saxon artifacts. I would never make the grade.
Amen,I'm pretty bad at seeing shadows in the soil I will admit.....
Wow. An interview with my DPhil supervisor. Cool.
So cool
the discoveries made by this excavation plus phils excitement over his ancestry is literally the best thing ever!
I've been watching Time Team since the beginning of time and I've just had a thought. Talking of funeral pyres: I always thought people would have been constantly dying, in droves. So, only important people got a pyre? Perhaps life wasn't as desperate as I assumed.
Nah we just heaped them into piles to save on wood.
Gotta protect the forest yah know......
Helen!
Its all about the GEO PHYS MAN!!!!!! THE GEO PHYS!!!!
From way back when there were still some interesting programmes on TV 😉 - wondering now how many young people decided to become archeologists because of these TT and similar programmes? 😉
12:19 po'aray
I'd like to see a whole show on a DNA study of all of these folks.
11:45 What accent is that ?
She sounds American, but still British
That's not how a thatched roof looks, a well thatched roof is nice tidy and smooth, if 2100 century Dutch can make smooth thatched roofs on their farms so could the Saxons..
lol @ the cartoon of Phil on Britain!
20:42 wah de SACOOKIES
i just started watching this show on youtube.
i just have a question
Do they always have only 3 days to dig ? and what happens to the site after ?
I was wondering the same thing. There was an American version of this show a few years back that only lasted 2 seasons.
@@brandon074 do you know if it's on youtube?
@@Jellybeat90 Just search for "Time Team America" There are a few episodes of it on TH-cam.
@@brandon074 thanks mate
@@Jellybeat90 No problem. :-)
Makes sense. Geoffrey of Monmouth specifically says that the Saxon came over by invitation by Vortigern. And that part of the friction came when they started marrying Briton woman. "Pagans!" they called the Saxons...and Vortigern in turn took one of their woman for his wife. All one big happy family...after a while. lol
I legit wondered if Stephen Fry was in this episode
Yes general Melchet could have punched Baldric
I love the Elvis guy. Oh, and Phil in them hot pants!
First love the video
Interesting that the dug based on pottery distribution, but they didn't really seem to find that much pottery while digging.
Because all the previously found pottery was removed when it was found leaving very little.
In 2021 some interesting round crop marks at North 52°32'02.8" by West 0°54'48.3"
They were wood people
Looks like they got Elvis to drive the rover.
My mom is a (Clouston)Stennessmy Grandmother ,
Why are these places always buried? Was it really that long ago?
Thank-you. So where was the native population working?
I miss the team all saying Actual or Actually, although BBC's The Repair Shop actually comes quite close.
💚
What about cattle yards? They might look like a house, ie posts in the ground.
When excavation takes place, should the dig take in to account the plough depth that may be used through the land? Seems very shallow to me,
Is a Durnford
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍👍👍
Funny a guy who's always standing in a ditch is called fill.
There's another contributer, Reijer Zaijjer. He has all the episodes of TT & other archaeological shows. Best part? No ADS!
You do know that you can bypass the ads by scrolling the video to the very end and then restarting it, and then it runs with no ads, right? 😁 You Do have to have the auto play turned off though. 🙃🤫
@@sixxygrrl I did not know that. Missed my YT 101 class in Engineering school. Thanks!
@@ericpetersen8645 😆 Honestly I only found out myself recently. I wanted to pass on the info to someone else who seemed to be having the same frustration as myself over the incessant ads. I mean, we just wanna watch the video! AmIright? 😆💜❤️😅
@@sixxygrrl I have NEVER gotten that to work. autoplay off or on. still get the ads
Next question: how do you know it's actually Saxon and not Anglian or Frisian? Funny also that Newton explains Langton. He should know!

Do burnt dead trees ever confuse the picture?
Do y'all recall that rivers often change their courses and tectonic plates rarely stay put? So that settlement you have found may have been of fishermen and farmers.
The movement of the coastline in the British Isles is well documented. Old courses of rivers show up clearly on ground radar. And other than deflection from retreating ice from the last ice age there's been very little tectonic movement in this part of the world for thousands of years. They're looking for Saxon settlements, about 1500 years ago. These people have devoted their entire careers to this subject, and not one of them has an IQ below 130. They've not overlooked changing coastlines or river courses.
@@JGrowl-er9md I recently worked out that in my lifetime (I'm 77) Britain and America have moved just over nineteen feet further apart. It's no wonder transatlantic air-fares keep increasing.

Tony Robinson is a burrowing owl
These people left from the huns and vikings
They knew the english from the romans
Tony is looking like a band manager. what is his dna?
where do the Beaker people come into it.
Central Europe it seems
Ax
I have a suggestion. Instead of calling it the "Dark Ages" how about calling it the "Hidden Ages" or "The Secret Ages" instead?
Perhaps you could take the time, to explain the circumstances for the reason all these places were buried in the first place. Was there some Kazmaklisic eruption worldwide, that covered the whole globe in mud and dirt
No.
@@1234j Oh, Okay, that sums it all up, NO. Perhaps it was just the usual annual dust storms, from surrounding farm fields, that sounds more feasible.
@@1234j What a Fudd
Learned something new Fudd means benefit in translation 😊😊@ellagrace27306
