- PREMIERE: Saturday 1st June @ 7pm (BST)
We're delighted to present a brand new Time Team Special presented by Sir Tony Robinson!
In 1939, on the eve of war, a huge ship burial was discovered at Sutton Hoo, Suffolk, laden with golden treasures, befitting Anglo-Saxon royalty. Now, a team of shipwrights and volunteers at The Longshed in Woodbridge are building a scale reconstruction, as acccurately as possible, using traditional methods.
Over the last few years, Time Team has been following the incredible building project, gradually watching the ship take shape. Join us for the story so far...

Join us for a BRAND NEW TIME TEAM SPECIAL with Sir Tony Robinson - 1st June @ 7pm (BST)
See you then!
Fantastic. Thank you Time Team
I’ve missed him too! Now we need Phil back!
I can't wait!!! Just marvelous seeing Sir tony!!
@@robynking2513 , Raksha too. She was my fav out of everyone!
You know what I love most? Seeing Tony walking across that field for Time Team, then seeing his name come up on the screen...Sir Tony Robinson.
I didn't realize how much I've missed that Robinson sass until just now. I may have even welled up a little when he did the intro.
@@spargerful I didn't miss him at all. I've been rather glad not to have him around posing eye-roll-worthy inane questions... and I've been told he is not entirely popular among archaeologists who've worked with him. Big ego, short temper.
He’s a gem!
@@richardharrold9736...hearsay...!...
He hasn’t lost his touch at all. It was like listening to an old friend.
Hearing Tony’s voice narrating feels like coming home after being away for a long time. It’s comfort food, like a big bowl of warm hearty stew on a cold winters day. Time to go back and watch the 20 seasons of Time Team for the sixth time. 😁👍
❤
One of the professors sounds and looks a teensy bit like a square version of mick. Almost can believe it’s him if I don’t look or listen too closely.
I was blown away! I loved that part when Sir Robinson was asked to back away. "We don't want a national treasure under a log." I smiled.
He is! He's totally a national treasure! That bit was lovely.
Btw it's Sir (or Lady) Firstname, I got told off once by a sir for using his surname 😅
Now off to watch part 2!
Sir S. Baldrick
S for "Sod off"
@@bordershader Thanks for correcting a "Yank".
@@lakrids-pibe 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@bordershader part two is next year...
the boat only goes in the water in 2026.
Norway is building a new Stavkirke using traditional methods. It would be really cool if TimeTeam could come and make an episode.
Good idea!!
It's just up the (sea) road.
For historical accuracy I'm watching this on Sunday evening
after antiques roadshow
I have Scrapheap Challenge lined up and ready to go
It blows my mind how they built this ship in the 6th century.
Today's human brain size is the same as those of that time and in fact they had more skills then to make stuff and if you were stupid you probably wouldn't survive , blows my mind they can do anything these days
It was great to see Sir Tony Robinson guiding us through this journey. It was impressive how much time passed in making this show. The dedication of the Sutton Hoo volunteer ship building team is remarkable. The community donating trees and the service members helping with the hard work make this project even more special. Thanks to all involved. June is Sutton Hoo month.🎉🎉🎉
This certainly makes one’s respect expand for those original craftsmen as well as these today. Simply awe inspiring and humbling.
They were so skilled and intelligent, I'm blown away.
I wonder how long it took them to build it? I suspect months vs years. Although they could change details depending on conditions & materials; they weren’t trying to make an exact replica of a different boat.
As a carpenter and wood worker, i just want to acknowledge how emotionally difficult it is to toss something youve been working on for a long time. And everyone involved: workers, patrons are fighting against it. It turns into a court trial or a debate. But being able to say, no, we need to do this right, lets start over. Thats a master craftsperson, who understands the end product is everything. and discipline/patience is the only way to achieve the goal in the end.
I love this! Tony and Helen... such a treat!❤
long live time team and long live sSr Tony Robinson
Hear hear!
2nd that!!ALL MEMBERS PAST AND PRESENT,HERES TO YOU!!🍻👏✌️🤟😁
He looks like death warmed up..
@@ORDEROFTHEKNIGHTSTEMPLAR13 yeah the guys over eighty years old and been on film for over half a century. Maybe don't be a jerk.
@@joshschneider9766Lols😉
Time Team knocks it out of the park once again. I've been a supporter of Sutton Hoo Ship's Company for several years and this is such a well done documentary of their story. Noone does it like Time Team and noone presents like Sir Tony! Thank you so much for this, and for SHSC for being so open and willing to share this voyage with us. I will be watching this several times for sure.
Sutton Hoo + Sir Tony = a new Time Team classic! Well done!!! & my very grateful thanks 😊
I’m thrilled that Sir Tony was a part of this TT project! It would’ve been all wrong if he hadn’t been at Sutton Hoo, one of England’s greatest archeological sites. I can’t wait to see the rest of this great adventure!
Wouldn't be Time Tieam if anyone else was on this show. Loved this show, we can no longer see it on television.
Welcome back, sir Tony. You were sorely missed!
No he wasn't, Gus is a much better presenter.
@@richardharrold9736 Tony brought the wide eyed wonder of the novice/layman to the show. He is not an archaeologist, and has learned as the years have gone by. Gus is a degreed archaeologist and functions as a teacher for those of us who are fascinated but don't have that education. I like them both; and it would be great if they could both be on the same episode.
@@richardharrold9736 Horses for courses, I think. When Tony wasn't reading somebody the riot act I enjoyed how he kept things approachable and laid a story on top of it all. Gus is great indeed, bu I noticed a time in the recent dig where my watch party were going "that just looks like dirt to us." The new digs are letting the various archaeologists have a lot more talk time. Not necessarily bad, but I do miss the old style.
@@edherdman9973 I've heard that once Mick Aston died, Tony would insist on having his own luxury motorhome on digs, not mixing with any archaeologists off-camera, and getting young archaeologists thrown off digs for using the words "cunning plan" or "Baldrick" in Tony's hearing. Apparently he was also a dick about people not using his ennobled title.
@@scottiesrockmaggie6279 there are ways of doing that without being infuriatingly inane and without the whiff of narcissism which has increasingly accompanied SIR Tony over the years.
It was so lovely to see Tony and Helen again. How wonderful to watch an ancient boat rise from the dirt so to speak. Great job.
I am a UPS tractor-trailer driver. I look forward to watching Time Team on You Tube every lunch break. . Is it ok that I cried, seeing and hearing Tonies voice. I am a late comer to Time Team, only 10 years ago but everday, they make me happy. Just need Phil back and all is good again!!!. Thank you for everyone, that makes this possible. RIP Mick, thank you sir!!!!
Time Team is comfort food! Nothing wrong with a little happy sniveling. 😊
Phis's quite active on the wessexarchaeology channel
Agreed. So great to see everyone on a new project.
It Certainly is Mate ,I'm Retired now but one of the best jobs I ever had was a Stone Masons Labourer. Not long before I picked a Chisel and Lump hammer up .And started. Trained and schooled by experts. I've had a lit better paid jobs .but that was my most content and happy jobs .
You're not alone, friend. From the top, Tony's voice, the theme song... It got me, too.
A huge well done to all those who are involved in this magnificent project and a special welcome back to Sir Tony Robinson!
Anybody else get a tear in the eye with that opening? What a marvelous opportunity to record history in the making. Such a joy to see Tony hosting, especially with the chance to work at Sutton Hoo, which I'm sure he's excited about.
I certainly did
Why would you have a tear in your eye???
@@ORDEROFTHEKNIGHTSTEMPLAR13 splinter of wood maybe 🙂
Get a grip you sad act
A new Time Team presented by Sir Tony Robinson. It doesn't get any better.
Time Team never disappoints!
Incredible to think the saxons buried this amazing ship. All that wood, iron and labour. Really drives home they had strong belief in the need for it all in the afterlife.
And money as well to be able to survive without the ship, even to get it there.
the saxons didn't build it, they never iron bolts for joints only wood.
@@johncannon3411 ok John, who built it??
Welcome back, Sir Robinson! It was great seeing you again. :)
So proud to be a Patreon member - helping fund Time Team archaeology. The Sutton Hoo projects (ship and upcoming digs) are so exciting and I’m glad to be part of it. The lowest tier is so cheap people - the price of two coffees a month and you get to see a lot of behind the scenes vision and meetings.
Spectacular that Sir Tony is presenting this. Time Team = Tony Robinson!
Just a note to say how much I appreciate Sir Tony and the entire Timeteam.
I can't believe I cried watching this. TIme Team, Sutton Hoo ship and Sir Tony Robinson ..a perfect combination. I have to say my admiration and respect for the men who built the original ship and their modern counterparts is immense.
I found my eyes watering too. There’s just something so magical about this whole enterprise. My soul was singing. And to top it all,
Sir Tony Robinson, who we have so much to thank him for.❤
Cry?? Lols😂
Same here. I'm a 74 year old man but I'm so proud of our history and my admiration of the volunteers that I had tears rolling down my cheeks.
Wonderful to see Tony back! Great episode!
I wish that I'd known about this project years back. I have hundreds of old oak trees on my bush property in Canada and would have been happy to donate a bunch to the project. I know that old growth oak in the UK is relatively rare thanks to the RN and it's a shame to cut any of the remaining ones down. I get it that transport would be a cost, but what we have here in Canada in abundance, we'd be happy to help out. Just like we supplied the massive straight white pine logs for the masts of the RN during the 17th and 18th Centuries.
Nova Scotia used to be covered with White Pine.
@@SandraNelson063 I cherish the time I have spent in Nova Scotia. It is a truly wonderful Province.
Thank you Tony for taking us along on this amazing journey. It's something I've always felt is unique with Tony's way of presenting anything, you don't feel like you're just watching and listening to him, you feel like you're going along _with_ him. It's never like watching a documentary, it's like taking a trip with an old friend. Excellent show, thanks to all the SHS people and the Team.
Longer than I expected. Excellent first episode.
In the beginning there was Time Team and it was good.
Then came Time Team Mk 2 and, although it was good, something was missing.
Then came Time Team Mk 3 and there was a glorious completeness of the surviving team.
Sir Tony's commentary and interactions cannot be bettered.
What a truly fascinating insight into the build. Nice to see Helen and Tony getting involved too. Can't wait for the next update
Oh if the Pretty family and Basil Brown could see this. Beautiful.
So good to see Sir Tony doing his thing!! I'm A Yank, but oh, do I love Time Team and British History! My ancestors were Brits and Irish. Such a wonderful legacy! 💕💕💕
I’m a “Yank” as well, and have lived and worked in England several times. It is a great recognition to see and hear (now) Sir Tony again. It is because of him and the entire Time Team crew to learn about British Isles history. Brilliant and reassuring. Keep it coming as long as possible.
Boy, if I was uber wealthy I’d pop in the jet, fly over there and lay out all the cash needed to get it done on time. Need more hands? Get ‘em. Need more materials? Done.
This is just so frickin’ awesomely cool.
If that would happen,I'd become ur best friend lmao!!but only cause I'd wanna go along for the ride,help at the site,meet all the ppl etc..then down the line,we look back and be like man that was such an Awesome-tacular part of our lives!!oh btw, after all this time and money, we never 'properly' met lol...tha names Steve,nice to meet ya 🤝 🤣✌️🍻
@@steve-0493 Yes, this is brilliant fun. I'd insist on landing to meet and watch the digs and talk with Phil & Tony. If I had Bucket List that trip would be mine! Cheers guys, I am Leda and a fan since 2020 plandemic re-framing every day life for uplifting community and wellness from BC Canada.
@@ledacedar6253 oh,CERTAINLY would wanna meet Stewart, Prakshe, Phil and Sir Tony!!that's a definite lol!!but I'd also have to visit Mick and where he's at rest now(RIP Mick)
And I'd have to visit Robin Bush's (RIP Robin)grave as well,and sorry,can't recall his name but the chap that did the artwork/drawing of what the team worked on..Damn I can't remember his name lol,BUT I'd wanna pay me respects to the past members no longer with us!! Lottery or bucket list,WE GOING!😁✌️🍻
@@steve-0493 , his name was Victor Ambrus, another dearly missed individual.
@@CroneLife1 THANK YOU!!yes,Victor,that guy could make such wonderful art and pics of these areas etc...he's up there with the rest,GREAT
Watching this makes me realize how much respect anglo saxon treewrights deserve. You know they were expected to produce quality boats in a much shorter time span. Kudos and respect to everyone working hard on this replica!
Time Team lives. Thanks Sir Tony, Drs. Geake and Pitman, series producer Tim Taylor, and your marvelous production team.
Thank you, thank you Sir Tony Robinson for returning to Time Team for this breathtaking historical reconstruction of the Sutton Hoo Ship!
Original ship built outside in the elements without modern tools...
Saxons were incredible
Right! Can just imagine them watching and taking among themselves and saying what fools we are taking this long to build a boat. Granted, there were probably more trees then, more people with those skills, etc.
@@TikiHi77 definitely more trees. Populations overall were not as large. The industrial revolution led to families with ten to fourteen chilren in the extreme cases, and in pre vaccination times maybe eight of them or so would survive to adulthood. This exploded the human species overall jum era over the last three hundred years. So probably more skilled labor but also much higher average skill levels among much fewer overall people is probably more accurate.
We are yes 😉👍
Built by Angles, not Saxons
It’s unlikely that a vessel of that size was turned over. Especially at that period. Rolling a hull is really a small boat technique.
Such an amazing build I look forward to watching the progress.
Texas, USA🤠
Sutton Hoo ship...Oh My GAWDS How WONDERFUL! Bravo to Time Team and the Sutton Hoo Ship's Company!
Every time I hear the Time Team theme, my heart skips. Knowing this was a grand new show set my heart a-flutter! A marvelous, marvelous program about an incredible project. Thank you!
It's fantastic to see Mr T Robinson back where he belongs, presenting Timeteam! It wasnt the same without him! 🥰
Tony enunciates so well, he is understandable to nonEngland English speakers, like this West Coast American. I love this program, being in a boatbuilder family since I was a child.
I’m an east coast American. Did you get the “Bob’s your uncle” idiom?
Wonderful to see Sir Tony back. His enthusiasm is infectious. This is also a beautifully put together documentary - (so full credit to the people behind the cameras.) Worth every penny of my monthly subs!
FANTASTIC! I can hardly wait for part 2. It was great to see Sir Tony Robinson doing what he does so well, guiding us through another Time Team adventure.
Amazing! Our Angle and Saxon ancestors were certainly fine ship builders.
To bury such a ship was a real mark of honour to the king. But by then they had made a new home and were part of the landscape!
I have to say that I got very attached to the original cast, not to say the new cast isn't good with Rackshaw and Matt taking the lead in the trenches.
Just glad to hear from Sir Tony again.
Seeing Tony back as the presenter is great! It’s amazing seeing such an old ship being rebuilt in our day.
As an ex - foundry moulder, I found the rivet making process the most interesting and I thoroughly enjoyed the whole program. Blackadder would have been disappointed to see that Bladrick didn't end up under 7 ton tree log.
🤣He escaped the log using a cunning plan
Absolutely excellent and RIVETTING (excuse the pun) - brilliant!!
You nailed it!
I am so happy to see Sir Tony!
LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! Thank you Time Team and Tony and Helen. Be BLESSED!
The resurgence of wooden boat building couldn't have come soon enough. There are skills these folks have that need to be shared and preserved.
National Treasure is exactly.what Sir Tony is. He's a favorite of mine. The only presenter.for Time Team if I'm honest. Part one of Sutton hoo was worth the wait and.im excited to see part two plus the.dig the current team is doing at Sutton hoo site. Thanks to all who worked so hard to make this possible. Well done. Ken.from Indiana 🇺🇸
I think there should be an ‘Eau d’Time Team’… Helen has clearly got the recipe as she clearly hasn’t aged a jot! Lovely to have you in the fold Dr! 🙏
Thank you! I was born in Essex in 1948! In 1953 the family moved to the wilds of Southern Ontario! I grew up with no idea of my birth heritage. No geography, geology or history! It wasn't until around 2010 that I discovered Time Team on YT that this began to be filled in! Thank you Time Team both past and present! Peace Love and all best wishes
Sir Tony's enthusiasm and charm make the show. A great episode. Eager to see the next installment.
She is beautiful! When she's finished she'll be stunning! I just wish I wasn't half a world away, so I could visit her to see her laid out in her shed & smell the timber.😍
I'm sure that to the Saxons, apart from her size, she just smelled like any other new ship & half the other things in their lives but to a modern human, like me, the sight & smells (even if only in my imagination) must be awe inspiring.🤩
Keep reporting the fantastic work & keep smelling the wood, Tony!👍
In this mad stupid world, it is awesome to watch a vlog like this. Thank you to everyone involved.🙏🇦🇺👍
The engineers that built the pyramids, Roman aqueducts, early metal workers. I never stop being awed by the knowledge of early civilizations.
They call the *5TH - 16TH CENTURY* the *DARK AGES* but there was nothing*DARK* about it so they really need to change the title..
I’m sure Sir Robinson must sit down occasionally and just think “I’m so glad I took the chance to present time team all those years ago!” cos that gamble paid off !
What a great project to see and be involved with
It's sir TONY! You don't use the surname when referring to a knight, unless you are using his whole name.
@@GaryNoone-jz3mqwell being a mere peasant I don’t meet knights very often unlike you who are obviously so self important
Nah doubt it it was just a paying gig for him
who knew how it would turn out?!
@@Luddite1Typical of the arrogance of the ignorant -- you CHOOSE to not learn.
Happy anniversary Time Team, 30 glorious years and I am happy to say I watched from the very start and went to the Teignmouth wreck all those years ago. What gifts you give us for the celebration, Thank you so much!
Made my day to see this! I've read about it, seen the film, read everything I could find since hearing about this amazing discovery. Fantastic!! Can't wait to see more!! Thank you, Time Team!!!
Absolute peak of whole time team production. Thank you for this gem.
It's fantastic to see Tony back & also to watch this ship slowly taking shape. Keep up the great work.
Tony truly is a National Treasure. Fantastic to see him back. Its never the same without him.
The Legend returns! Love seeing Sir Tony back in action, nobody does it like he does.
So glad to more from Sutton Hoo. Watching this is an absolute delight
Just like the old days hey. Wonderful ❤
Great show...and yes Tony is a national treasure.
Tony has always given Time Team’s energy on screen. Watching him just feels so comfortable, like wearing old, well broken shoes. So much so, I almost expect Mick, Robin and Victor to appear in the background.
Absolutely incredible. Thanks to all the volunteers and Time Team for this. I’m amazed. ❤
Every now and then, I watch Time Team and remember that Tony Robinson played Baldrick.
Didn't he also write Baldrick?
Thank you for sharing! Just went to their site and donate it. I did it in memory of my grandfather Leo who was a caulker on wooden boats in Nova Scotia!

TONY. WE LOVE YOU.
To All those Involved, THANK YOU!
greetings to the team and community from DC, in the US! i enjoyed this so much, i just had to leave my compliments! what a superb score (that opening: such apropos gravitas, it gave me chills), gripping narrative, articulate interviews, and educational 4D renderings ...you can't ask for more on a production like this. the fact that this is only part one is like being a kid and knowing that christmas is around the corner.
Excellent production by Time Team and Sutton Hoo teams …really enjoyed it keep up the great work. 👍🏻🇬🇧
Great to see Mr Robinson again! He's what makes the difference ❤
I teared up seeing Tony back on the Team ! I really did!
how can this get any better? Sir Tony narrating a new Time Team classic in the making.thank you
Would of been even better if MICK was there throwing his pennies worth of information in
@@ORDEROFTHEKNIGHTSTEMPLAR13 true that.
My grandfather was a carpenter - and US Navy WWI veteran. My father was a metalurgiacal engineer, amateur carpenter and WWII/Korea Navy vet. My partner was a telephone engineer, builder/welder/carpenter, Vietnam era Navy Mineman. I so wish all three were hear to watch this. Because they would be fascinated - itching to be volunteers on the project - and arguing the relative merits of each step. Truly enjoying this. Thanks to all involved.
Always great to see and hear from Sir Tony.
Hail to Sir Tony, knyght of renown,
Whose wit and wisdom do us endow.
In merrie tales and historie’s light,
He leadeth us through day and night.
With shovel in hand, he doth uncover,
The secrets of earth, like none other.
From Blackadder’s mirth to Time Team’s quest,
In every field, he is the best.
O Sir Tony, of noble heart,
In thy craft, thou art a master of art.
We sing thy praise in joyful song,
To thee, our thanks do all belong.

There is only one Tony Robinson love you mate a true national treasure 💯💯
What great workmanship in the reconstruction. And I really enjoyed seeing Sir Tony back as host for this episode. He was missing!
Thanks!
Hi Tony!
I’ve been watching time team since I was a child. Turning 40 this year.
Back in the days there were lots of great educational content on tv but it’s steadily been giving way to docudramas.
TH-cam has been a real renaissance for educational content, and I Love, love, love that you and the guys are leaning in to it and releasing full episode here.
Welcome home:)
I have done my best sleeps under Tony Robinsons voice and Time Team work. Half of my brain is relaxing and the other one is mapping roman town structures. Or Anglosaxon treasures.
Wonderfully done! So good to see Tony and Hellen. I love the music. My dad was a cabinet maker and would’ve absolutely loved this.❤ I can’t wait to see what happens.
Great to see Tony Robinson back! I’m looking forward to watching this series. Sort of got hooked on the story of Sutton Hoo after watching “The Dig” a few years ago.
I was so glad a friend told me to watch The Dig before I went to England. Seeing the Sutton Hoo exhibit at the British Museum meant so much more with that context behind it.
Wonderful stuff , so much legend in all levels of expectation presented in such a kind and enthusiastic manner , I will try and stay alive to see it finished!
Tony and Helen together again.. Makes it seem as if time (ironically) has stood still
Somehow TimeTeam keep getting better and better; "a kind of gift that keeps giving".
So much joy to view!
These Time Team videos are a pleasure to watch. And having Tony narrate the journey creating this ship was an incredible archeological experience.
Thanks for making me smile on a Saturday Time Team :)
Brilliant! So heart-warming to see Sir Tony on screen! Love you sir!
As an Aussie it’s great to see you ( a ledgend) back and looking and sounding fabulous. Thanks as I’m the same age and with our forced new world, you get me grounded and sane!THANKS
