Per his new 2020 video, because of his spine injury, Phil rode in an ambulance to the site just so that he wouldn't mess up his perfect record of attending all episodes. That's dedication, and why we love him. He's still going strong and making vids.
Too many people use the preposition PER incorrectly, as here. In fact, it means "for each" and is used with units to express a rate such as per lb of apples. Sadly, many people just follow the leader, so to speak, because that is what everybody does. There are many other examples available but ... 'nuf sed.

This episode is ground zero for this series on at least three levels: 1. First episode based off of their first live dig. It is merely a composite of the best bits of their first live dig. 2. First appearance of Helen Geake, who would go on to become a much beloved and admired member of the time team. 3. First appearance of Paul Blinkhorn. He is quite restrained in this episode, but he quickly went on to become my favorite finds expert. His enthusiasm and sense of humor were PERFECT for this series.
I see young Helen as she just started on TT! awesome. The excellent work of Phil,, Carenza, then Helen and Stuart and Tony and on and on- all TT rocked and still does in Covid19 days!
@PaulMahon-s8h Right!? Had to be insane to shoot. Especially for the camera/sound crew when a crazy archeologist just took off running in a random direction 😆
Shame about Phil's back and the slipped disk, but glad that he was still there to explain what finds they were getting in the different trenches. [ Have had a few spinal surgeries myself, I can understand the amount of pain he must of been in, and still there to smile though it all. God bless him! Interested in the Human remains as well, the two they found, Loved the floor tiles right outside the church, or actually inside the church at some point, The coins were a great little find as well. This is where I wish Robin Bush was around for the history of this site and what it was...and Victor's drawings were are always a very import part of any episode as to show us what a place or location might of looked like back in days past... Awesome..
I have watched the entire series and specials, in order of course, at least three times and it is stiil fun to note someone's first appearence. Like at 8:05, we meet, for the first time, Helen Geak!
8:04 first time for Helen Geake.. she is one of my favorite in time team.. need to whait 2 more years for see Helen again on time team on the episode: Normanton, Lincolnshire
I love reading these comments. I'm an American who studied Brit history, wandered here due to reading Elly Griffiths' novels, and it make me really happy to find such a collection of history and archaeology nerds like myself. Thanks!
This is the one when Phil had a slipped disc and was actually kept on site in an ambulance while he hobbled out now and then to comment. You can actually see the open doors of the bus at around 29 minutes.
@@zoltanz288 so true, some romans can say : divide et impera ... divide and conquer or we can use "Panem et circenses".. fit well.. in modern times it means keeping the people good by giving them food and fun .. this is why sport is as important in modern society as it was in Roman times, the way a saying was used by Giovenale a Latin poet he say:" [populus] duas tantum res anxius optat panem et circenses" [People] anxiously hopes for just two things: bread and circuses" (Giovenale, Satira X[2]) Henry Ford rightly say: "Luckily the population does not understand our banking and monetary system, because if they understood it, I believe that a revolution would break out before tomorrow." the truest words of his century
Well his two centuries. I'm addition to the mass production of the 1800s he was a gentleman racer. His most notable achievement in speed was being the first human to travel over 90mph ever. Posses a young Glenn curtiss right the he'll off lol. Henry didn't die until the nineteen thirties I think it was. Donated to Hitler's party too. Guy was not a good person but did do many noteworthy things.
As far as finding a lot of archaeology, this is one of the better in the series. I realize they had a head start by earlier excavations and findings in the area but this is good.
3 sound/audio booms, at least 3 cameras... minimum 3 sound techs (carrying the audio bags)... that is really cool. Imagine that gang following Tony around the whole 3 days as he hustles around.
@@MrBEA68 I didn't realize watching QI that I had already seen Sandi on TT live digs, but apparently she's a trained archaeologist. I'm American, so I don't know the meaning of "read at university," but I suspect it means, "has a degree in."
46:00 And revealed not what happened. Turned out the skeleton was a woman with a head injury(back of the head) and was gnawed on by the local wildlife(badgers I think they said it was) while still alive and the cut on the top of the skull was an attempted surgery that the woman died during. Much worse than some dude getting his haircut a little too close and died instantly. Poor woman got bopped on the back of the head and while laying unconscious some badgers decided her warm meat was for dinner.. she may have been in and out of consciousness while the badgers were biting her, then to be rescued and die in (trepanation) surgery without anesthesia is a horrendous way to go. Yu would be better off getting the top of your skull removed by axe or sword and instantly check out.
One of My late fathers cases was an investigation of black magic at Bawsey church. A human skull was found converted in to a chalice which had been stained with blood which after forensic examination was found to be human . And a small silver case of Communion wafers were found near by. Plus nailed to the old door attached to the ruined church was a sheep's heart studded with thorns. Painted on stones and walls were black magic symbols.
Another excellent episode. I'm starting to think season 6 was the very best. Hooray for Helen Geake! I love that TT gave so much limelight to women archaeologists. Here they showcased Ms. Toksvig (age 41 at the time), Ms. Lewis (37) and Ms. Geake (32). I thought that having Tony continually rehearse what was going on, where, was very thoughtful in that the viewer got a lot of help in following a very busy dig. To my embarrassment, this is the first episode in which I realized Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall was/is a celebrity author and chef. I assumed he was a part of the dig team in Turkdean when he first showed up as a guest. Final point: why are posters so full of invective and foul language when another poster says something you don't like? All the back-and-forth with the fellow from NZ just validated his ridiculous comments. I'm just baffled.
For the first few years after these were posted these comments were very few and more people chose to educate and converse than to shut down conversation and make it personal. I miss the days where people wrote comments that were just positive and supportive instead of criticism, derision and, worst of all, the people coming in to track down-shirt moments of the female diggers and experts. There is another poster of these shows that gets even more of this crap and it really sucks. I once listed at least a dozen down-shirt comments alone on his site and nearly as many on Bridget's butt. There is actually a group of commentators that support each other in finding these moments and thank each other or compete to find them. Still, the way to respond is not to heap scorn on the person but to engage in conversation to educate and inform if the comment was made in ignorance, or to leave the comment alone....to choose not to feed the beast if it's a troll.
Yes, I also love Sandy. She gets a lot of flack from a lot of people in these comments sections and when I first saw her in one of the live digs I was a little put off by her abrasive humor but she really grew on me fast. I had never seen the great British baking show or anything else she may have been on so had no previous knowledge of her. It was a little uncomfortable for me to realize that the core of my reaction was down to a simple double standard baked into my psyche. Women in politics, entertainment and comedy roles are often held to a different standard than men. Abrasive, aggressive, or blunt women can make us uncomfortable more often than men who act the same. I'm a 50 year old woman and a feminist and thought I was above it but every now and then reality hits me and I realize I have a way to go still. It's like being non-racist and growing up surrounded by racist people and traditions. You may think you escaped it and have no racist leanings but though time reality hits and you realize you still have niggling little thoughts and prejudices in your subconscious that make you do things like not making eye contact on a street or dismissing all rap music on the whole without really listening to the lyrics of some artists that are eye-opening and true food for thought. Sorry for turning the comment section into an essay but I am disabled and have way too much time on my hands to think about things like this and realize where my thinking goes wrong and thought I'd share.
@neal thailand Pretty sure I saw an older episode of the game show before and liked it. I think I will find it again and check it out. Thanks for the heads-up:)
I have watched every episode over and over almost daily since he posted them and I truly am hooked for life. The appreciation I feel is beyond words. A life changer.
This episod came out in March of 1999, so it's not that surprising. :D Wikipeia has a pretty good episode guide available, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Time_Team_episodes#Series_6_.281999.29
Hypatia4242 i date the pc from the britpop era, roughly 1996. Maybe out into the new lad or ladess era. We can date the pc by the number of buttons on the mouse. Humans in the last century were very pompous with decoration. Whereas now humans opt out for a mouse. But a carbon dating of coffee and marmite staines on the mouse should comfirm these dates
For my fellow Americans not attuned to Brit-speak. When Tony says, "So Victor might need to get his rubber out..." at 26:40, get your mind out of the gutter... it means "get his eraser out". lol
Thanks for showing #2, it was driving me nuts and I was really disappointed that the group picked number three, when to me the obvious choice was the one that was wrapped suspiciously...
She didn't get near dirt unless it meant she'd get some camera time. I know she had a lot of personal problems while working on the show, but it didn't excuse her butting in to conversations and interrupting experts.
35:00 imagine a guy take you out for a date on the field and he says "lie down here with me" and then he excitingly shows you all these lumps and bumps on the landscape.
NO! it was due to the fens and the area being drained by the Dutch engineers during the !700's . the locals were earning a good living from the marshes and rivers to did not want the land drained. So they kept murdering them this gave fenland people the Nick name of Fen land tigers1 Near the site is a place called castle rising where there is a corner which was part of a medieval harbour. the Corner which is by a side road reeks of onion and garlic which is now growing wild from left over imports of Onions and garlic imported from Spain. It was right on the edge of the wash and now is about two to three miles away.
@@lordeden2732 The Fens had been slowly drained over the centuries since the early Medieval period. It speeds up as the technology improves and the demand for farmland rises in the 1700's. And while there were some who were likely disappointed to see them drained away as they depended on them, there were more who were all too happy for the farmland as the population exploded during the 1700 and 1800's. This demand for more farmland due to increase in population can be seen throughout Europe, and the Fens aren't the only place being drained rapidly at the time. It is also a time of deforestation in many places for the same reason.
Something like that would have been covered up again. It's secure where it is and one of the most importnt principles of modern archaeology is to disturb the site as little as possible.
32:50 I can't help thinking all the sound people and camera men look like King Arthur and the knights and random retainers/spear carriers in Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
So, the church was built roughly 1,000 years ago. According to Stewart, the church was almost surrounded by water at the time. But, King's Lynn is 32 feet above sea level. I wasn't aware that sea levels had changed that much in the last thousand years.
The UK is still rebounding from the huge ice cap during the last ice age. The east coast of the uk is gradually rising and the west coast sinking. Also the draining of much of the fenland of the east coast means theres a lot more silt build up along that coast.
King's Lynn as we know it now was built on 'salt workings', this is where banks were raised to enclose a flooded area, the water was then allowed to evaporate so the remaining water left became a salt brine, this in turn was boiled off in large vats leaving the salt and collected. The resultant mounds artificially raised the ground level which in turn was built on at a later date (the modern King's Lynn)
King's Lynn is also nowhere near 32ft above sea level. The main town sits at or just above sea level with only the surrounding land gradually raising to anywhere near that figure.
you ever seen that scene in monty pythons holy grail where they come up to Camelot....tony reminds me of that scene with hiscamera crew bunched around him...lmao
Phil having a slipped disk doesn't stop him from being a part of the dig, heck, in his condition he still does more than Carenza does on an average day. Interesting how she's the cleanest field archeologist of all the Time Team yet takes a lot of the credit for the finds.
back on another program they had a similar setup to how this site was before the silt pushed the beach back, with the sort of causeway and island. The island was apparently holy while the residents lived on the other side of the causeway. wouldn't it be great if they could go down before the Saxon level, since they might find something similar here.
Tony drinking from that enormous mead horn with the point up - a good way to get doused with mead! With a drinking horn, always drink with the horn-point down. 🙂
Ok Phil truly digs his work, but notice how Nobody is in that trench with Carenza? Lol her hands are clean, her pants are clean, heck even her shoes are clean. I think she just bosses others then she does all the explaining like she just had a little help. Sorry but I am so glad Helen is on here for her first appearance!
The Wikipedia page here has all the episode off all the Time Team related shows listed in order with year and other info. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Time_Team_episodes
@@SB-sj4uz Actually in one earlier episode they used an early "drone" (which will probably show up in a dig in a later episode).... Mick loves aerial archaeology....
When we did History Hunters (basically Time Team out to play) at Marshfield in the Cotswolds, about 1996 (can't remember the exact date), they had a quarter-size helicopter that was used as a drone would be now: I remember watching it fly down Marshfield High Street and thinking 'This is the future'. Drones didn't really become cheap and useful enough until about 2010.
Vince what do you suppose the likelihood of an eight episode season of shows mimicking turkdean revisited being green lot would be if I can get it crowd funded? surely there's enough time team die hard that would chip in. I've always thought a short season highlighting the long term impact of time team on the archaeology of Britain would be a brilliant thing. Could get dignation in on it and local archaeology groups too maybe...
Carenza asking her replacement about a coin. That would have been awkward if someone walked up and said that to them and showed them a TT episode proving it. Luckily they do get along today just as well as they did in this episode. But I have to say I much prefer Helen over Carenza, she always seemed more friendly and inviting while Carenza was more down to business. Both were great on the show so no complaints there. Now Robin and Francis... Francis can go shove his rituals where the sun don't shine and I think TT would have been better without him. I much preferred Robin, good sense of humor and very good at research and showing the factual evidence while Francis just makes crap up and calls everything ritual.
Another note - someone commented about Carenza's white pants staying white even on Day 3. I have noticed it also and have always assumed she wears white so she can just bleach her trousers after each dig. Sometimes she's muddy but on this dig she is probably more supervisory, therefore less dirty.
Right. I think all of them are spotlessly clean each morning, though some are rumpled. I also assume that each digger has his/her own style (like Jackie with her purple leggings and skulls!) Once you figure out what you like to wear, wouldn't anyone buy a bunch of the same thing to wear on a dig?
Just watched yet again! It's too bad people are so unkind about individuals. I had trouble understanding Dr. Holbrook for many seasons but with a little grace and mercy I learned to decipher his speech (impediment?). Ms Toksvig has a strained voice but so what - she's allowed to be imperfect. It's a documentary, for heaven's sake!
Did anyone else notice that Victor said "I'm good at rubbing out"... I know I'm a pervert for what I thought he meant. But I can't be the only one who thought it. Lmao. Love time team and time team America. Both great shows.
Per his new 2020 video, because of his spine injury, Phil rode in an ambulance to the site just so that he wouldn't mess up his perfect record of attending all episodes. That's dedication, and why we love him. He's still going strong and making vids.

Humans in the last century were very pompous with decoration. Whereas now humans opt out for a mouse. But a carbon dating of coffee and marmite staines on the mouse should comfirm these dates
Say what?
Mike Airley LMAO!!!!!!
For my fellow Americans not attuned to Brit-speak. When Tony says, "So Victor might need to get his rubber out..." at 26:40, get your mind out of the gutter... it means "get his eraser out". lol
...and it's so rare that we get to hear Victor speaking, and then it's so soft that I have to strain to catch what he says!
7:04 Bilbo Baggins spotted in Norfolk!
@8:33 wow..look at Helen so young.
Thanks for showing #2, it was driving me nuts and I was really disappointed that the group picked number three, when to me the obvious choice was the one that was wrapped suspiciously...
Pity Channel 4 started changing the format of TT.
But TT did have a good run.
Feel like the stress of what they did to TT shortened his life. I know he was ill before and some other issues but still.
That's my take.
❤❤❤
She basically described Nosferatu when she described the skull of that cadaver. Yikes
I have always been envious of Carenza's hair. I don't know how she kept it out of the dirt.
She didn't get near dirt unless it meant she'd get some camera time. I know she had a lot of personal problems while working on the show, but it didn't excuse her butting in to conversations and interrupting experts.
And phils long nails
@@Idellphany He's a classical guitarist, hence the long nails.
@@lucygray6162 interesting! I had no idea
@@sa.w.s.3070 If you had done a bit of investigating
What do mean, I love Sandy. We Scandwhovians/vikings are a loveable lot.
And in this episode the first appearance two who were to become regulars on the show, in Paul Blickhorre and Helen Geake.
35:00 imagine a guy take you out for a date on the field and he says "lie down here with me" and then he excitingly shows you all these lumps and bumps on the landscape.
Why is it that back in AS times the sea came very near the site, but today it is several miles away?
Greg B global cooling
Greg B Silting of the coast
+William George Bingo.
NO!
it was due to the fens and the area being drained by the Dutch engineers during the !700's .
the locals were earning a good living from the marshes and rivers to did not want the land drained.
So they kept murdering them this gave fenland people the Nick name of Fen land tigers1
Near the site is a place called castle rising where there is a corner which was part of a medieval harbour.
the Corner which is by a side road reeks of onion and garlic which is now growing wild from left over imports of Onions and garlic imported from Spain.
It was right on the edge of the wash and now is about two to three miles away.
@@lordeden2732 The Fens had been slowly drained over the centuries since the early Medieval period. It speeds up as the technology improves and the demand for farmland rises in the 1700's. And while there were some who were likely disappointed to see them drained away as they depended on them, there were more who were all too happy for the farmland as the population exploded during the 1700 and 1800's. This demand for more farmland due to increase in population can be seen throughout Europe, and the Fens aren't the only place being drained rapidly at the time. It is also a time of deforestation in many places for the same reason.
it amazes me always what those Experts,and THIS time i mean Experts, can say when they find a dinky piece of something.
Does anyone know, what do they do with the imported floor. Do they remove it and conservative it, or do they cover it over with dirt again?
Have wondered about that myself.
Something like that would have been covered up again. It's secure where it is and one of the most importnt principles of modern archaeology is to disturb the site as little as possible.
32:50 I can't help thinking all the sound people and camera men look like King Arthur and the knights and random retainers/spear carriers in Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
klick-klack klick-klack klick-klack klick-klack
@@svenhoek Aye - You've only got coconuts there ...
I like the monty python clips in search for the holy grail
I love all these videos but they're all before 2012 because Mick Aston passed away in June 2012
26:40 “So Victor might need to get his rubber out.” WHAT?!?! Haha, relax, Americans, rubber in this case means “eraser”.
Were there Americans that were up in arms (or didn’t get it)?
darthinvictus666, in America ‘a rubber’ means a condom. So it so it sounds very very weird for someone to say a guy needs to get his rubber out. 😄
No shit? And you think time team viewers are so stupid they don’t get that? Moron.
@@Invictus13666 it's the internet, there are stupid people. No reason to call others moron.. That's kind of stupid too.
that tower looks like it is about to collapse
when she said 'loom weight' i heard hanging off the loo.
waay too much horrible histories XD
So did I! The things I was thinking.
So, the church was built roughly 1,000 years ago. According to Stewart, the church was almost surrounded by water at the time. But, King's Lynn is 32 feet above sea level. I wasn't aware that sea levels had changed that much in the last thousand years.
The UK is still rebounding from the huge ice cap during the last ice age. The east coast of the uk is gradually rising and the west coast sinking. Also the draining of much of the fenland of the east coast means theres a lot more silt build up along that coast.
King's Lynn as we know it now was built on 'salt workings', this is where banks were raised to enclose a flooded area, the water was then allowed to evaporate so the remaining water left became a salt brine, this in turn was boiled off in large vats leaving the salt and collected. The resultant mounds artificially raised the ground level which in turn was built on at a later date (the modern King's Lynn)
King's Lynn is also nowhere near 32ft above sea level. The main town sits at or just above sea level with only the surrounding land gradually raising to anywhere near that figure.
you ever seen that scene in monty pythons holy grail where they come up to Camelot....tony reminds me of that scene with hiscamera crew bunched around him...lmao
The ruins of the church are here:
Bawsey Ruins

i can still remember working on this church pointing up all the open walls
Phil having a slipped disk doesn't stop him from being a part of the dig, heck, in his condition he still does more than Carenza does on an average day. Interesting how she's the cleanest field archeologist of all the Time Team yet takes a lot of the credit for the finds.
back on another program they had a similar setup to how this site was before the silt pushed the beach back, with the sort of causeway and island. The island was apparently holy while the residents lived on the other side of the causeway. wouldn't it be great if they could go down before the Saxon level, since they might find something similar here.
What a way to go!
Tony drinking from that enormous mead horn with the point up - a good way to get doused with mead! With a drinking horn, always drink with the horn-point down. 🙂
Stewart doing his ritual before doing his job. Lol!
An island: so all the building materials had to come by boat!
Ah! the first recorded sighting of Helen Geake on TT!
Music at 30min is dope
I think we have found a High Status Site. Well Phil might say " uh huwy sta'us soite"
22:50 - the last of the hairlines trilogy.
It's like looking a three wizards.
Why are they wearing safety hats when there is nothing around them to fall and hit them???
In case something drops down from the digger I believe 😊
29:00 Looks like they found Matt Smith.
Or Nosferatu
Sandi Toksvig should’ve been on every episode of Time Team
Ok Phil truly digs his work, but notice how Nobody is in that trench with Carenza? Lol her hands are clean, her pants are clean, heck even her shoes are clean. I think she just bosses others then she does all the explaining like she just had a little help. Sorry but I am so glad Helen is on here for her first appearance!
At 18:10 ish is that a boy named Sue?
Nice reference!

Is that a purse? !
46:15. Hey Village Barber! I said a LITTLE off the top!!!!
What year was this from? This is one of the more interesting tt episodes.
March, 1999.
great thanks!
The Wikipedia page here has all the episode off all the Time Team related shows listed in order with year and other info.

I'm here in November 2020
I've had a look on Google-Maps . . . Great !
Did they ever use drones w/video? Alot cheaper than choppers
Not 20 years ago no.
@@SB-sj4uz Actually in one earlier episode they used an early "drone" (which will probably show up in a dig in a later episode).... Mick loves aerial archaeology....
When we did History Hunters (basically Time Team out to play) at Marshfield in the Cotswolds, about 1996 (can't remember the exact date), they had a quarter-size helicopter that was used as a drone would be now: I remember watching it fly down Marshfield High Street and thinking 'This is the future'. Drones didn't really become cheap and useful enough until about 2010.
Vince what do you suppose the likelihood of an eight episode season of shows mimicking turkdean revisited being green lot would be if I can get it crowd funded? surely there's enough time team die hard that would chip in. I've always thought a short season highlighting the long term impact of time team on the archaeology of Britain would be a brilliant thing. Could get dignation in on it and local archaeology groups too maybe...
They never answered what happened to the church! Wasn't that the point?
FYI 8km from the Sandringham estate owned by the Queen...
U LOVE THAT SANDY WAS IN THIS SHOW. LOVE HER BAKING SHOW SHE HOST TOO
Sandi toksveig too!? Wow
tony has hair!!!
Go check him out as a hippie in Season 1.
Carenza asking her replacement about a coin. That would have been awkward if someone walked up and said that to them and showed them a TT episode proving it. Luckily they do get along today just as well as they did in this episode. But I have to say I much prefer Helen over Carenza, she always seemed more friendly and inviting while Carenza was more down to business. Both were great on the show so no complaints there.
Now Robin and Francis... Francis can go shove his rituals where the sun don't shine and I think TT would have been better without him. I much preferred Robin, good sense of humor and very good at research and showing the factual evidence while Francis just makes crap up and calls everything ritual.
Another note - someone commented about Carenza's white pants staying white even on Day 3. I have noticed it also and have always assumed she wears white so she can just bleach her trousers after each dig. Sometimes she's muddy but on this dig she is probably more supervisory, therefore less dirty.
Right. I think all of them are spotlessly clean each morning, though some are rumpled. I also assume that each digger has his/her own style (like Jackie with her purple leggings and skulls!) Once you figure out what you like to wear, wouldn't anyone buy a bunch of the same thing to wear on a dig?
Just watched yet again! It's too bad people are so unkind about individuals. I had trouble understanding Dr. Holbrook for many seasons but with a little grace and mercy I learned to decipher his speech (impediment?). Ms Toksvig has a strained voice but so what - she's allowed to be imperfect. It's a documentary, for heaven's sake!
Or taking some extra pairs in the same color could also be handy...
@4.20. Yes that is a Stylus Tony, but its Roman.
Did anyone else notice that Victor said "I'm good at rubbing out"... I know I'm a pervert for what I thought he meant. But I can't be the only one who thought it. Lmao. Love time team and time team America. Both great shows.
The lovely Helen Geake with long hair looking so young!
So what was an island a thousand years ago is now miles from the coast? I thought the ocean was rising?
Since he's always found in an empty pit, it's easy to remember the hat guy's name is Phil.
Current Google imagery shows an aircraft of some kind in the field across from the church. 52°45'29.3"N 0°27'32.8"E
