I gave myself a Time Team Patreon membership for my birthday when it 1st started... it's a gift that literally gives back to me all year long. A fantastic community of like minded people, I'm completely enjoying all it has to offer... 🥰

Before cell phones; so novelty of a video camera was still a novelty for kids. Mick - Michael Aston died 20 yrs ago (1 July 1946 - 24 June 2013) we all wish to have as much legacy and representation in a historic way. We watch these many hours per season, which is a byproduct of many years doing not only the show, but many other digs annd classwork.
The Chinese Father would dig a hole, put clay in the bottom of the pit and build a toilet over the pit with clay hoard in the base. This was like a gift for when that son turned 21. When the clay was retrieved from the pit, the best quality porcelain was enough to build a pottery business. The human waste and kitchen waste, bones etc., had bleached out and broken down the clay particles to a mostly Silica, high fire vitreous clay over those 21 years. Mixing in camel dung in those areas or sheep dung because of the grasses diet, for regular shaped voids in the fired clay for heat and cold expansion and contraction. Since Pots were fired the dung has even used for the fluxing that allows for lower temps for vitreous ware.

Always like that the men are chummy with, and joke around with the women, and really respect their work, and their assessments. Would be tough to watch, really, otherwise.
Tony you put yourself to shame arguing as only a child would against the Expert who never lies on Time Team. I don't like Tony's quick to snap with cruel British phrases of crap inhumanity i learned from my Mum's rages and rantings.
Why does the creepy "music" have to drown the narration in most of the time team videos? In this one, mainly at the start, in some other videos all the way through. Who is to stupid, to keep background music in its place? It can't be that difficult. Keeping the sound at the same level throughout the videos seems to be a challenge as well. As if the damn boring adverts aren't bad enough, somebody tries hard, to trash some otherwise great programmes!
The new people can't hold a candle to the original crew. And that Gus person makes my teeth stand on edge; can't bear to watch or listen to him. Where the heck did they dig him up?
I agree, I couldn't stick the new bloke's narration at all. He sounded like he was trying to do an Attenborough-talking-to-gorillas whisper. And Time Team without Mick, Phil and Tony just isn't Time Team.
@@janetbarkwithI agree, he sounded like he was trying to parody David Attenborough with that hushed voice. Not remotely engaging, unlike Tony (I gather Gus is an archaeologist, not a television presenter).
The original team was so full of strong personalities and seemed to have so much fun, you find yourself smiling along with their banter and infectious enthusiasm no matter how many times you watch the episodes.
Burford was one of the first Time Team episodes I ever saw. Spoiled me for a lot of others, Mick and Tony were so wonderful throughout! I so wish I could donate to the new episodes! Miss all the team!
I caught up with this entrancing series in episode 2 of series 1. The Daily Mail in its wisdom opined that it just went to prove that archaeology didn’t work on TV. I stayed with it throughout the next two decades!
4:02 Tony:"...surely what we need to do in archeology is either proving or disproving something." 4:09 Mick: "well yes, you could look at it that way, but..." As wonderful as it is to have a current Time Team there was nothing better than the give and take of the old. I know Tony had a script, not sure about the rest; but it doesn't matter whoever wrote it and my guess is Tim, did a marvelous job of having Tony ask the questions I wanted answers to.
A hand knitted sweater? I doubt few could afford it. It's been decades since I've knitted a sweater, but when I was knitted socks, it cost me $30 for the New Zealand wool and 2 weeks of my time. Some a**hole stole all but one of the pairs. I hope their feet have rotted off!
Last year I watched my first Time Team episode 'Skeletons in the shed' on TH-cam. I was hooked. After watching as much episodes as I could find I'm really envious of the British people because they had this wonderful program, the great scientists, AND the many, many archeology sites to sustain it for so many years. I'm from Germany. There is no way a program like Time Team would have worked here.
Why wouldn't it work in Germany? There's plenty of continuous human habitation, including Roman outposts. I mean, they tried to do it here in the US and, while we have plenty of dinosaurs and saber toothed tigers to dig up, it's no longer PC to dig up Native American sites. Most were not builders of permanent structures, plus their descendants have a say in how the sites may be treated.
@@kristinedoty7876there has been a couple of major events in Germany 's past that likely ruined ancient or medieval history. It is a hotbed for more recent history.
@@karolschulz48 Not quite sure what you mean. Destruction/disruption from World Wars? Contamination of sites? Not much left to discover? General disinterest? Red tape? Overbuilding?
What is "Temp Grex"? When I wrote that Time Team wouldn't work in Germany I was talking about the lack of interest in the general population to carry a program like this throughout the years. Also we don't have all this layman archeology societies like the British people have.
I laughed at time when Mick was being pushed around in a wheelchair, trying to get more speed out of Robin Bush, "Come on, give it some honour!" To which Robin replied along the lines of, "It's all right for you mate...". Good times!
He actually said “ommer” not honour. I’m from the Black Country like Mick, and in our dialect to give something some “ommer” is to give something some hammer aka put some force into it 😂
Since it was a long time ago i saw the episode,seeing it a second time or even a third time, there is always something new that i missed the first time around.
Always like that the men are chummy with, and joke around with the women, and really respect their work, and their assessments. Would be tough to watch, really, otherwise.
I can't remember the episode but Stewart and John were debating a site and for a minute I thought Stewart was debating himself. I laughed silly when I realized.
🤔 One would think the second "tempers fraying and Phil yelling at David" would be removed from compilations like this, as bits are edited out to shorten the sections anyway...but hey, there it was...again. 😄
David commented the cardinal sin of traipsing through Phil's freshly cleaned trench without permission. Phil takes the integrity of the archaeology in the trenches very seriously. According to Phil, what David did is a "hanging offense".
@@iaind4852 oh I know. I was waiting for the British funny bits. Tony being childish isn't British funny. Unless it's a weird cringey British humor with which I'm unfamiliar.
They need to search the Central Atlantic Ocean for old Atlantis, It really existed during the Ice Ages. Atlantis was a real land mass in the Central Atlantic Ocean, its history going back in time over several million years. Well worth exploring the depths of the Atlantic Ocean.
Within the first few moments Tony goes out of his way to put Mick "in his place" and earned my undying dislike. I must admit I rarely watch the programs unless Mick is in it. Whether you have ever admitted it, Tony, Mick was the goose! I am now 6 min in and Tony has done nothing but bad mouth Mick since the show started. I am not going to be able to watch the rest of it. Tony is being a complete nasty.
Actually, yes. There was a site in Coventry where they found bones at the very last moment on day 3 and they couldn't leave that unresolved. So they left a skeleton crew (s'cuse the pun😋 ) including someone to record the video and dug up said skeleton. The Coventry Archeology Unit subsequently took over the dig and found so much more there was a reprise episode (as a TT Special) about a year later. The area has been redeveloped since, taking into the design the archeological finds made by both TT and the local unit. They also visited a Caribbean island for 2 digs, one was a plantation where Stuart found the actual slave village while the other was a pre-conquest native site on the beach waiting to be eroded into obscurity. This was b/c the flight schedule to said island didn't allow a 3 day trip (and besides, jet lag for just 3 days would be horrendous for the entire team) so a double episode was filmed on the island. HTH!
@dutchmaster7790 thanks for that, it's hard to see some of the digs we're so interesting and then ... nothing after and it made me wish that there was a follow-up series about significant developments after
@@lindahughes2289 Yeah I agree... Especially Bridget and Paul the Pottery Biker make for a great comical duo... Sorry to learn Paul had a brush with the C disease... at least his voice has become more of a feature I guess...
Love this program, but they could do better if Tony was left at home. I know he is educated, but not in archeology. Leave the digging and the hunches to the professionals. Too bad we lost Mick...😢.
i can see that, but im not so sure this program was ever meant to be a serious show,to the extent of a true documentary. to me they all have an element of humor. and that tony is the outsider/straight man to the the archeologists / comedians. i mean no disrespect to any of them, but tony is usefull as the narrator, outsider, antagonist, naysayer straight man.
Tony is behaving like he is 'us, those who are viewing the show': he says and asks the thoughts and questions we could have, probably have. Some years ago (lot of years ago) my mother and me were in the south of France and looking at a dig. We asked questions. One if the archeologists grinned: "So, now are you playing the Tony role...!" 😂❤
@@sannesteers Have you ever noticed how the best teachers ask the questions they know their viewers would like to ask themselves. That light bulb flickered on when I was watching Julia Child asking questions about the preparation of a dish by a guest chef. She came off as so genuinely sincere it took me a while before I thought to myself, "Well, duh, SHE already knows all that stuff!"
That knitting represents every stich of love his wife felt for this sweet man.
They were knitted by his "groupies" ..... Google it 😊
So does
I think that too
I miss Mick and the whole gang. You can tell they all got along and enjoyed one another. I'll always watch Time Team.

In one of the more recent episodes, we see a wee Mick doll-with iconic hair and jumper - watching over a dig. It was bittersweet to see. ❤
