This is one of those episodes that truly marks the original time team …..team as great ….the presenters , experts and film crew wing a lot of it so so well and that is true professionalism and passion for subject
I can watch this for hours. Beautifully produced, great team, great photography, great music! I also really like that unlike most in the genre of reality shows, people are repectful, and seem genuine and authentic. Awesome program. Love, love, love the team.
8:19 Was just great to see Helen and Carenza in the same episode IMO even if Helen was embarrest by her 'not your loose change' remark :) , the whole cast was so good.
Watching this old episode right after watching the two new digs, I miss the clarity and continuity of the presentation. I prefer the little things, like highlighting where the change in color in a ditch shows up. And I really enjoy the recreations of what life was like in the time the site was in use. I hope future digs include some of these things, as it transforms the program from a dry (and somewhat confusing) documentary into informative entertainment.
@@TheShootist Why oh why do so many of these people expect Tony Robinson to be cloned. These are probably the crowd who complained about him in the original run of TT.
I've come to appreciate many episodes of Time Team but, I must say, this episode was truly impressive. The swordsmiths of that time period were indeed masters of their craft. It's been a long time since my training, but if I recall correctly, it takes about 200 pounds of force - or about 900 Newtons - to perforate that area of the skull. This was indeed an interesting episode and I thank you for posting. Be safe folks 🙏
Think of in terms of 1 horse power behind the force of swing. Sadly, they found it was a woman, and the bone slice was performed by doctors . Where she died on the table, they believed when they were trying to relieve swelling.
The distinctive personalities of each Time Team member is what makes the program so appealing. I cannot possibly choose a favorite, but I really like Paul Blinkhorn; he has a perpetual good natured smile on his face. .
@@lavillablanca I will forever love Paul for the response he gave Tony when he asked Paul - a pottery expert - to identify a building. Tony: "And what kind of building do you think it is?" Paul: "... a big stone one." Gold.
I watch these over and over! Just love the vibe between everyone and I end up learning so much! Amazing though, how they always know so much just from looking at a tiny sherd of pottery!
You guys are really good at picking out all of my favorite episodes to load!! This is probably the earliest of my favorite rewatch episodes in terms of initial broadcast. I love the range of times and types of locations, all in one site.
Tony really changes with the episodes. His mullet was replaced with a chin beard which was changed to a clean shaven face. We’ve watched all of the guys age proper. Mick and Phil stayed somewhat the same.
He looked like a homeless person in the earlier episodes. I realize it was the 90s, but, he dressed like he couldn't afford clothing. God Bless Phil.... Daisy Dukes and all.
Phil had a number of hats over the years of time teams 20 or more series. He also changes the feathers and pins attached to each hat. One hat was like an Australian Akubra (think cowboy hat) and another was like what a re-enactment archer (think robin hood) would wear with a short crown and a pointy brim at the front. Blessings, Dot
Phil would go bonkers on the Jicarilla Apache or Navajo Reservations in the 4 corners area. Arrowheads and pottery still litter the ground everywhere, on the surface. At 37:40, where they lie down to see the hill, you can actually do this in a calm lake and lower yourself into the water til it's just below your eyeballs and you can see the curvature of the earth.Try it sometime.
This whole episode was fascinating! That strapend was impressive how they made it the way it would have been originally and it looked perfect, beautiful. That loom weight was exciting.
"It's not your loose change." In a recent Time Team interview Helen still blushes when she thinks of that line that reportedly followed her for years and years among her peers.
After hearing her talk about how she was ridiculed for her comments, I had to go back and watch the episode again. I still don't understand why she was given such a hard time for it. Live TV is a daunting task. I thought she did fine for her first outing!
I I hope it was good natured teasing. Must be so hard to be on the spot and feeling somewhat pushed for an answer. Some people find it very hard to say they don't know (at that moment), because they might dissapoint the person asking.
@@PaulMahon-w2b I think she meant he was non ambulant (unable to walk) rather than on an ambulance. I had to correct the word back to “ambulant” three times bc auto correct kept changing it to ambulance or ambulatory 🙄
@@PaulMahon-w2bPhil had a slipped disc and had to be taken to the dig site in an ambulance. They got him out to film him and then he had to go back and lie down in the ambulance. He was not allowed to dig but was allowed to stand by the trenches and comment on the finds. He lay down beside one of the trenches to talk to the digger. They didn't show him getting back up, poor guy.
Gracious I cannot get over how low resolution TV used to be back in the day. I have no memory of it ever being this bad even though I'm 30 years old, and surely was watching this type of resolution at the time and thought it was a okay. We truly have become spoiled with HD and 4K video. As always I love the content and please keep releasing more episodes as soon as possible.
HAHAHAAA. Low resolution??! To me, this looks great. I'm 52 and remember TV when the picture would roll, there were 3 channels, and they all went off at about 1 am. Spoiled indeed!
@@eoyguy And there was a special dial that you could use to make the roll a little less, but sometimes it would just go the opposite way and make it worse. Not to mention the white noise and the position you sat in the room actually affected the reception quality because the antenna interference. XD
Hahaha back in my day we had to walk up hill both ways to school through the snow and through hail and the tornadoes. And you didn't see us complain one time, you see Sonny. Hahaha.
@@TheAquaticMandolin Not only that but once a year when we were in school we all had to pick a peice of paper from a top hat and whoever picked the short piece was ceremonially sacrificed to the earth gods so the rest of us could enjoy a bountiful harvest.
I always watch these and try to find the sites on Google earth. I use the site description and the aerial photos and such, but I don’t know why I do it. It’s just an exercise in frustration, lol. If it’s not a famous castle or tourist site then I find them about 2% of the time. “Near Kings Lynn” and “Over there is the sea” just didn’t help. I guess things change dramatically in 20 years, I can’t even find the road configuration shown in the photo. .......I should really stop driving myself batty doing that. 😂😂😂 🇺🇸🍻🇬🇧
Usually they do a commentary on Time Team Official and have a link to the Wessex Archeology write up that gives a better description of the location. No commentary on this episode. However, Google is my friend and helped me out. Paste, Bawsey Ruins, King's Lynn PE32 1EU, United Kingdom, into google earth's search box.
@@aelyn2909 I'm sorry it took so long to respond to you. My life has gotten very crazy lately! The update on the skeleton discovered at Bawsey is given in their 2nd "Christmas Special" which aired on December 19th, 1999. It's a great episode that gives updates to several of their early episodes but the details of this story starts at about minute 31 of this video. It's a truly fascinating story. Enjoy! th-cam.com/video/9ybf4NQMKGk/w-d-xo.html
Oh, after the dramatic interpretation of a sword blow aimed from a galloping horse, that comes as somehow disappointing. I was imagining an attack, as in the Uhtred series of novels by Bernard Cornwell.
I'm glad there coming back to tv well TH-cam so I guess they'll be using TH-cam money so TH-cam production? Eh? Idk how it will go, but if the show stays the same I wont mind a bit. I was that one kid instead of cartoons and the usual spongebob episode I would love watching documentarys and those kind of shows like this or the best ones which I got my friends at the time 10-11 years hooked to watching was WW2 and Vietnam war documentarys lol. Also I will state my graduating year was 2012 so I also seen all the bullshit end of the world stuff 2012 came and went hahahah....but I swear I've learned more out of high school on TH-cam from reputable channels it's crazy. If you knew the right ones you could home school a child off of guided TH-cam videos and adding yourself in as a parent there to help guide and answer questions which means you also need to be competent. But I'm sure someone will have a very different look, most likely no one will read, or they wont read and just leave a random comment. Reply if you want to converse more on any of these topics or any one of your choosing (enter your momma discussion) just so you know it's up for debate hahah. Btw she's dead. Of cancer to the brain lungs and bones.
@@MasterMatter Of course, like any source of information, YT videos require a sifting out of reputable ones. I wouldn't want to venture a measurement but for every bigfoot/alien/5g/etc. one there must be several that are verifiable and dependable. I agree, that a parent could use them to educate effectively but they would be better served as a jumping off point. A beginning from which the parent could say, "Okay, that's interesting. Why don't you go to the library and try to figure out why it is?"
Just imagine, under the earth all over Britain there are the concealed traces of all those who lived so long ago. The remains of their homes, their coins, their belongings, their skeletons. From the iron age to the Romans. And everywhere they are just built over and only the archaeologists can tell - if allowed to dig - who they were and when and how they lived there.
why? driving is pig simple.. and most of us have been talking since toddlerhood.. are you saying you cant do two things at once? so thankful i will never share a car ride with you..
I recon that this chap with swordblow on his head was actual a woman, or better a nun, who survived the blow for some hours and they tried to save her live. She died on the table of the healer. I think, they found it out within the post dig analysis and aired it in a christmas episode.
@@SuperRabbi1 I don't know where to find the post dig analysis, but Helen talks about it some in this interview. th-cam.com/video/TxL0dhDGHPQ/w-d-xo.html
This is my home town, not seen this one but always wanted to go to the church as just a little further down is also Castle Rising and then further Sandringham house where the Queen spends Christmas
Excellent choices by Time Team for the narration and 'non academics' Love Sandi Toksvig and Sir Tony, their personal passion for history is enjoyable to see.
I don’t think you can. There are a number of episodes on Europe-only DVDs, but there is no “Complete Collection” of all 20 years/280 episodes of the show.
I've rewatched this and something came to mind. One does not build a church alone and not in one day. Where did the stonemasons, carpenters, labourers, cooks et al live while the building was under construction? That must surely have left a mark on the ground?
If it’s just buildings yeah, depending on region and type of settlement you can only hope to find shadows of walls or post holes, or limitation lines of buildings on different soil, rubbish pits and burn pit reactions on EM if it wasn’t destroyed by farming or land development. Even if markings can be found on topographic or aerial surveys, they could be all just vestiges, there also the chance that antiquarians disturbed and refilled ditches in haphazardly, destroying any dating evidence (or when people landscape their gardens in such ways that puzzle archeologists years later, like finding ww2 barbed wire underneath seemingly medieval still-standing walls and such)…
Seems an easier blow as a backhanded blow more force an control in a passing cut. A forehand strike I would think a larger area would be aimed for there is more time to aim😊
Very familiar with the term "strap end" (decorative belt-end) from costube, but every single time I hear the term it still somehow always sounds slightly dirty! 🤭 Anybody else??
Haha! I noticed that too. There was this big mass of people thundering along behind them as they trotted along. It reminded me of a scene from Monty Python with a crowd thundering from one interesting thing to another, but I can't find it. :p
The digging itself was broadcast live. Then later an edited episode was made from the recording of the live broadcast. They did several of this type of broadcast.
@@Newman81964 They were editing for a condensed version that was shown that week, at a time when most people watched terrestrial TV channels in the UK and were all aware of the live broadcasts. I imagine no one then was thinking that we would be watching in 2020 and it's a bit late to do a reshoot, don't you think?
Incidentally people often ask why we get Sandy or Bill Oddie on some digs, one of the reasons was the live broadcasts when a presenter was needed at two different sites at the same time. The Jorvik dig was a good example of that. Not that Ms Toksvig needs any excuse to be on my screen.
Is there anyone who wasn't living there at one time or t'other? I can't decide if Stewart was waving in planes or learning to swim! I do love Stewart! He'd be the kind of person I think would be fun to invite to a dinner party.
I totally disagree. She sadly appears in several episodes, partly or totally ruining them. She is an extremely irritating person. Very bad choice of the production team. Every time she starts rattling away with her nasal voice I immediately think: 'Oh, shut the f*ck off!...
Yankee commenter here-HOW LONG HAS THIS SHOW BEEN ON? Tony ages and gets younger in each episode I watch, love it all, good thing I don’t live over there, I’d be digging everything up looking for artifacts!😂😂
Near the end, that broken piece of a Saxon ceramic loom weight.. I'm pretty sure I'd have mistaken it for a rock. It boggles my mind what these people can see in tons and tons of dirt.
They are re-interred in the same place where it’s possible. For cases where the site is being destroyed entirely (building sites, rescue projects, etc.) they are respectfully re-interred in appropriate locations.
Tony with hair. I feel young again. Also, that seriously looks like bad green-screening in the open. The background music sounds so much like Howard Shore's Hobbit themes. I'm guessing it's (vaguely) medieval, which shows the research Shore put into his composition.
This is one of those episodes that truly marks the original time team …..team as great ….the presenters , experts and film crew wing a lot of it so so well and that is true professionalism and passion for subject

Tony really changes with the episodes. His mullet was replaced with a chin beard which was changed to a clean shaven face. We’ve watched all of the guys age proper. Mick and Phil stayed somewhat the same.
And there was Tony's bleached blond period which, if it wasn't done for an acting gig, was ludicrous.
I think the chin beard is when he was also the Sheriff of Nottingham.
His beat nik years
He looked like a homeless person in the earlier episodes. I realize it was the 90s, but, he dressed like he couldn't afford clothing. God Bless Phil.... Daisy Dukes and all.

“Our man fell dead from a gruesome sword blow slicing across his head!”
No one:
Phil: “Hooray!”
There always has to be one doesn't there?
Phil would go bonkers on the Jicarilla Apache or Navajo Reservations in the 4 corners area. Arrowheads and pottery still litter the ground everywhere, on the surface. At 37:40, where they lie down to see the hill, you can actually do this in a calm lake and lower yourself into the water til it's just below your eyeballs and you can see the curvature of the earth.Try it sometime.

Maybe a silly question at 23:40, but given that the compass didn't arrive into the west before 1190, how do you align a church precisely west-east?
the path of the sun and a stick driven into the ground
similar to a sundial
Sun rises and sunsets.
I have a question about the farmer getting his field back...does he? And continues to plow over those filled/excavated finds?
How do you have a Norman Church ruin on your farm? Do you buy it? inherit it? Does it increase the value of your property? Blows my mind
Nah just water the site an"poof" in Britain you get a relic church 😊
Once again i ask, where can i order the entire Time Team series on DVD?
I don’t think you can. There are a number of episodes on Europe-only DVDs, but there is no “Complete Collection” of all 20 years/280 episodes of the show.
I've rewatched this and something came to mind. One does not build a church alone and not in one day.
Where did the stonemasons, carpenters, labourers, cooks et al live while the building was under construction? That must surely have left a mark on the ground?
Timber and wattle buildings leave pretty much nothing
If it’s just buildings yeah, depending on region and type of settlement you can only hope to find shadows of walls or post holes, or limitation lines of buildings on different soil, rubbish pits and burn pit reactions on EM if it wasn’t destroyed by farming or land development. Even if markings can be found on topographic or aerial surveys, they could be all just vestiges, there also the chance that antiquarians disturbed and refilled ditches in haphazardly, destroying any dating evidence (or when people landscape their gardens in such ways that puzzle archeologists years later, like finding ww2 barbed wire underneath seemingly medieval still-standing walls and such)…
Really like this Team 😂🤗😘
Correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t this Helen Geake’s premiere episode?
You and IMDB agree.
‘This hill’ he says, showing a slight rise. lol
Isn't it more likely that the horseman was riding towards the man - much more power in a forward slice than a backwards swing?
Seems an easier blow as a backhanded blow more force an control in a passing cut.
A forehand strike I would think a larger area would be aimed for there is more time to aim😊
Enjoy your videos 📹 😊 here to help get your videos out to everyone 😀 please keep them coming can't wait for the new Time Team to start up again 😀
It's exciting to imagine that Phil could find an arrow head he made in a previous life?
@michael perry Phil Phlintstone
Fun to see Helen with symmetrical hair. Later she always has that asymmetrical 'do
Isn'T this the first one with Helen? She looks rather young to me ;)
@@ricardograf6393 Yes, both Helen and Paul (as I found out in this thread)
Very familiar with the term "strap end" (decorative belt-end) from costube, but every single time I hear the term it still somehow always sounds slightly dirty! 🤭 Anybody else??
Please upload this again but in its original aspect ratio.
OMG, it took 10 people to follow Mick and Tony around the treches :)))
Haha! I noticed that too. There was this big mass of people thundering along behind them as they trotted along. It reminded me of a scene from Monty Python with a crowd thundering from one interesting thing to another, but I can't find it. :p
The HD is nice but if 16:9 wasn't available you should've uploaded in 4:3
At the beginning of the video, Tony says they are doing this live, but this video is only a little under 1 hour long and the dig is 3 days.
It was recorded live, then edited...
@@FrankJPSegura All shows are recorded live and then edited, so why make a deal out of saying it is being done live.
The digging itself was broadcast live. Then later an edited episode was made from the recording of the live broadcast. They did several of this type of broadcast.
@@Newman81964 They were editing for a condensed version that was shown that week, at a time when most people watched terrestrial TV channels in the UK and were all aware of the live broadcasts. I imagine no one then was thinking that we would be watching in 2020 and it's a bit late to do a reshoot, don't you think?
Incidentally people often ask why we get Sandy or Bill Oddie on some digs, one of the reasons was the live broadcasts when a presenter was needed at two different sites at the same time. The Jorvik dig was a good example of that. Not that Ms Toksvig needs any excuse to be on my screen.
Is there anyone who wasn't living there at one time or t'other?
I can't decide if Stewart was waving in planes or learning to swim! I do love Stewart! He'd be the kind of person I think would be fun to invite to a dinner party.
i wonder why ive never heard james may mention time team... he seems like hed fit right in
1999, the neolithic of TV. When "aspect ratio" was not yet a thing...
Sandi doing yoga! Brilliant!
Somebody hit the wrong aspect ratio on this one?
Wow! The big hair was rocking!
SANDY IS MY FAVORITE!! Love when she shows up 😍
I totally disagree. She sadly appears in several episodes, partly or totally ruining them. She is an extremely irritating person. Very bad choice of the production team. Every time she starts rattling away with her nasal voice I immediately think: 'Oh, shut the f*ck off!...
I want that Mick Aston doll so bad!
38:37 pity Phil was injured - he missed out!
Yankee commenter here-HOW LONG HAS THIS SHOW BEEN ON? Tony ages and gets younger in each episode I watch, love it all, good thing I don’t live over there, I’d be digging everything up looking for artifacts!😂😂
22 years if memory serves
Helen!! Look how young she was! Teenage almost
32 :) I adore her!!!!
This was her first episode.
I'm interested in the rectangular patterns at 9.28 that is ignored.
Near the end, that broken piece of a Saxon ceramic loom weight.. I'm pretty sure I'd have mistaken it for a rock. It boggles my mind what these people can see in tons and tons of dirt.
I'd be terrible at this job. I can never see the lines and stains 😢
stretching the 4:3 ratio makes the video feel a bit off
Wow those computers. When was season 6??
Filmed about 1998, IIRC.
32:18 That is *_not_* buttered wortes. Buttered wortes are boiled greens. That looks like salted fish or something.
love the show but i have to ask ..What do you do with the remains that you dig up? They are some ones ancestor your moving from their resting place.
oh they sell them off at the gift shop..
They are re-interred in the same place where it’s possible. For cases where the site is being destroyed entirely (building sites, rescue projects, etc.) they are respectfully re-interred in appropriate locations.
Tony with hair. I feel young again.
Also, that seriously looks like bad green-screening in the open.
The background music sounds so much like Howard Shore's Hobbit themes. I'm guessing it's (vaguely) medieval, which shows the research Shore put into his composition.
Very young Helen Geake. This her first appearance?
Victor has killed someone with a sword before
I love Sandi
"I'm good at rubbing out," says Victor! 🤣 Does that mean the same thing in Britain that it does in America? 😂
No it doesn’t! A rubber is actually an eraser in Brit!
No, rubbing out means to erase something, not what you're thinking 🤣
Looking like some crazy gophers , doing pushups !
