I feel like so many people in the UK are cool with their property being dug up and their stuff above ground being destroyed in the name of finding ancient archeology. It’s really amazing! Something tells me that fewer people in the US would be so cool about it.
I’m from the US and this kind of excavation seems unlikely here. My thought watching this is..why? What’s the point? Yes, Rome invaded England. Yes, there are archaeological finds. So?
Lol well it's a good job the US doesn't have that much of its own history to ignore then. But it's that exact reason why I think Americans are so ignorant to it. They don't have that history, they don't fully understand or feel it
I LOVE these programs. It would be ‘cost-questionable’, but I think if I lived anywhere in Great Britain, as a matter of course I would have the place surveyed and ‘geophysed’. If I were to build a home, I would do the same. Ya never know!
I'm so impressed by this whole town just being like, oh sure just take down out buildings, cut down nice wooden fences, and dig up driveways to hopefully find something important. I certainly hope they all got a say in this anyway. I'm just trying to imagine such things here in America happening. If I could help and find interesting stuff I'd be happy during the day but there'd be moments I'd be hiding and having different levels of panic attacks about how expensive it could be or just because I struggle sometimes with change really bad. 😅 I would really do everything I could to hide it though because I love history and team work. Then I look away while I think they're climbing up on the digger for a slightly higher look only to look back and be startled by them being way up in a bucket lift. Apparently I don't even care for heights on camera without at least a little mental preparation!🤣
They would've paid all these people and probably even put them into contact with good professionals to fix their gardens up, so they end up with a nicer garden than before... just a lot of noise and distraction for them. They wouldnt have made them pay to sort it out afterwards, that would be shocking lol
None of these back yards had anything in them that wasn't replacable. They would have been well paid for their 'sacrifice' and benefited from a moment on the telly too!
I can believe they would do it just for the excitement of being involved with the show. I can even imagine the show possibly did offer each property owner some compensation for damaged or removed structures. I can even believe it was some of all of that plus a chance to get rid of some the old structures/stuff without it costing the home owners anything.
@@flitsertheo You have no idea how beneficial the rain is for our 'green and pleasant land' God certainly blessed us. And you have no idea how many times a rain or thunderstorm has saved us from invasion or defeat in battle. Its unbelievable
And did those feet in ancient time walk upon Englands mountains green. Well it is said that Jesus uncle Joseph of Arimathea was a metals trader and took him there to trade precious metals.
The respect on display from Mick and Phil is so inspiring.
Thank you for publishing this kind of information and standing up for the teaching of accurate history.
Hats off to British archaeologists working in all weather conditions. Amazing homeowners allowing this mayhem in their yards.
i know. i would totally hate doing that work
They aren't allowing it. In most cases the people are asking them to come in. Don't be so dense.
@@dabreal82 it's still mayhem
I know, Canadian archaeologists going home every time it rains.
Or...
🤦
I would never do that. The world would have to wallow in ignorance if I were in charge
I wish this show was still on with the original format...
So glad you publish these. Thanks!
Love the natural aspect of Phil covered in mud, laughing and drinking his ale.
Haha i also noticed that. True digger
Love this series. Thanks a ton for the schooling and entertainment
Love the enthusiasm
Great pub scene with Phil in rare form
Good stuff. I enjoyed the video. Well done.
Yes I agree with the previous quote that these landowners are brave and generous and giving and very kind

So excited to find an episode I had not seen before!!!
Thanks. I enjoyed the video.
So relaxing
Just love digging history.
The village of Ffrith is on the fringes of the North eastern lead mining area

I would have what's found rebuilt as it originally was if at all possible.
@@TestECull so you would like to live in a pre-dark ages home?
@@dabreal82 With a couple retrofits, yeah. Power, plumbing, air con, hi speed internet, and I would be quite happy in it.
I love Phil, he's sitting in the pub taking the piss outta everything and covered in mud!! 🤣😂🤣
So, its a mining camp possibly with a guard detachment
On day 1 they turned this village into a WW1 battlefield trenches and mud included.
Sans mustard gas of course.
The fella with the Wales flag umbrella gave me a giggle.
The geese didn’t seem too happy….
Thhank you.
Nice show.
There's nothing in the description box It's empty

we don't tend to care much for that kind of thing in the uk. this would probably be the most exciting thing to happen there in a while.

@@riverlady982 some compensation ??! They are paid.
This would never happen in the U.S. ….people would be flipping out , complaining and carrying on. I love the UK…well, except for the weather…
The houses are obviously post Roman but what about the sheds ?
Found a bottle of roman weed-b-gone.
How to recognize roman walls; Number 4: the larch
I want to marry one of the old grizzled archaeologists.
After 4:00 it shows how little there is to guess at; so it is all re-created. I guess Roman stuff was not too important.
👍👍👍
Ah. Now I know where shit loads come from. Shed loads. That even makes sense...
Setting a heat pump on a pad
31:03 you monsters you have become the very thing you set out to destroy
Probably the most exciting thing to happen in this village since... Well the Romans 😆
Helen!
Roman Bathhouse wasn't a small project so expect a big mess in this small community.
The English are such ‘close talkers’. Please give each other some room!
Sorry should we speak slower and make sure we bite down hard and over pronounce our R's for you Yankee?
?
@@samsativa245 yes that would help, thank you.
👍🇸🇪❤️..
I suspect you are dealing with layers and repurposing and rebuilding a few times over.
"a dyke" that's a a little rude against the gays don't you think I thought this channel didn't discriminate against the gays
I don't think is a building at all. just a wall . am half into this is all I see. does not look promising at all.

Jesus was in Glastonbury when his Uncle Joseph of Aramathiah was a tin and lead miner there
Too bad then he didn't perform a miracle giving the British some decent weather. Maybe that's really too much asking.
Ah yes...that was the time they all spoke WELSH in "glastonbury"
