    I have an extremely stressful job but for some reason the stress goes down dramatically when I watch Time Team. There’s something about it that is so calming! Love Phil. I’m 1st generation American and 100% British Isles ancestry. This show is so amazing. Wish we could watch you in US every day!

    What a wonderful episode! I've seen almost all of them but this one eluded me for some reason! Such an amazing entertaining and educational show! This world needs more of these kinds of shows on TV and less of the "reality" garbage! I miss the original Time Team. They may be gone but they are not forgotten! Thank you Tony, thank you Phil, thank you Mick (rest in peace), thank you Carenza, thank you Helen, thank you Francis, thank you Raksha, thank you Stewart, thank you John, thank you Matt. You people as a group single-handedly made archeology and anthropology really cool. fun and very interesting not only in England but all over the world. Thank you for all your hard work and sharing it with us all so selflessly. We will always love you.

      @Richard Harrold - I really wasn't all that impressed with the Time Team reboot. The "duel spokesperson" concept was a bit annoying and the subject matter, while interesting, was too overshadowed by all the new fancy tech equipment used on the show. I felt the same way about the American version of the show as well. You can copy even a priceless Rembrandt painting but it's still not the original. Get what I'm saying?

      Well... there are new episodes in the works! Two new digs and their associated episodes are up online already (on the "time team official" channel), and their patreon is open looking for support for the next digs! Hopefully they'll be able to do more than two digs in the next run, but the more support they get the more they can do, essentially (I wish I was in a position to be able to support the patreon myself tbh, I'd love to see even more)

      I also love this one. I found it very personal as I was born and grew up very close to this dig. My dad and myself spent hours in this area usually walking the dogs, and when I was young he would tell me the history of the place.
      Both my Dad and Mum got scattered close to here on passing, and I find great comfort knowing they have become part of the full history of most beautiful place.

    Time Team has always been a show I never get tired of watching! Even after first watching it back in the early 90’s.
    It’s incredible to think the town in this episode is only a few min drive from where I was born and grew up, and yet i’ve only heard of the history in that specific area a lot later in life. Leicester is probably more widely known for the Battle of Bosworth & king Richard III, and maybe the Roman ruins in the city centre. The Saxon history is really interesting.
    It’s great to still learn more about your home county.

      You're not far off. I presently live on a site that is, at the very least, Tudor on account of bricks and tiles.
      Also, I discovered the remnants of an old smithy (tools, nails, charcoal heap, barrel rings, and horseshoes) - while excavating a piece of ground on which to place my husband's workshop, anvil, and small forge.
      So yes, without realising, we intended to build a blacksmith's shop on top of the remains of another blacksmith's shop.
      When I was a child, my mother took me to a new children's playground the council had just built, and she found a Roman coin laying on top of the newly seeded grass. Turns out, the area had been an important Roman Mint.

    Years ago, I read a Star Wars book where Luke & his son Ben attended a cremation. It talked about how there was a point in a cremation where people don't what to see what is happening so the ceremony ends before that.

    The start of this episode that mentions field walking brings back memories for me of doing some myself. It was in the far past, and a long, long way way from Leicestershire, it was in the 70's and in the Australian outback and it answered the question that the boffins were asking.

    About the man and woman buried together. If you are going to accept the theory that a major part of how and why someone is buried in a certain way, then you also have to accept that it was the FAMILY of these two people who decided that they should be together forever. That doesn't sound like just two people who died at the same time and it was just the "simple" thing to bury them together. They were family in life. If not husband and wife then MAYBE siblings.

      This show was expensive to mount so it was a balance between good archeology and affordability for the TV production company, who was paying for it. It was Prof. Mick Ashton who suggested 3 days and thought it would at least tell them if the site was worthy of further investigation, like Matt’s Roman finds in this episode.
