I live in the US, but I love this show. There is some archeology where I live, but it presents a very bleak picture of the people that lived here. Whenever we excavate we find boiled human bones.

That last view of what the castle, starting @48:00, may have truly looked like was magnificent. A too short ending, that deserves far more credit and explanation. Great work for a fabulous team of archeologists and support. 👍🏻
Time team is the greatest discovery for me. I find myself just watching it when I have time to watch anything thank you whoever puts these on here. I wish it had aired in America
As an American in Virginia it is very interesting seeing old buildings and castles. It's always sad that you're no longer standing but you've had a much longer history than us.
Love this show and just discovered it about a year ago. I see a lot of these old building had their stone robbed out. I often wonder if they can trace where it was used in later buildings? Phil and Mick and all the cast are great. RIP Mick.
Edit: They said that in this case most of the masonry was sold off when the castle was demolished in 1650. You sometimes can trace where the stone's been carried off to if you have good in situ examples to compare with. Most of it doesn't go far, usually incorporated into later walls or basements in the surrounding town. But they might not be visible as they're all covered up with plaster. Sometimes the local city fathers "salvaged" the stone for public works such as dikes or retaining walls. There's one TT episode (can't remember which) in which they found an old auction catalogue showing that a Georgian palace had been sold off piece by piece (down to the wallpaper!) to settle the family's debts.
Just remember the indomitable nature of the human spirit. Our family has had to start a new after a terrible incident of a murder suicide. Remember you are indomitable. Never let the light die out
Whilst the rest of them are gibbering and arguing in the middle, Stewart is the lone wolf stalking the perimeter and seeing the big picture the rest miss.
If I’d lived in the UK when this series was going, I think I would’ve petitioned hard for this great team to uncover whatever is possible of the Savoy Palace! I’ve always wondered about that great building and if any artifacts at all have ever been discovered connected with that palace that was burnt down during the Peasants Revolt. Love English history!
The only issue with that is there is very little open ground in the area that is now occupied by the famous hotel and theatre. The open ground/garden adjacent to the Savoy Chapel would be the only place to dig, and no doubt also has restrictions given burials and utilities. In saying that though, its likely if any building is demolished in the area then archaeological work will be done (as is pretty common in London) before anything new is constructed.
The team, is awesome and I so enjoy how they can good off on one another, and have a good laugh but still get things done. This one was a very confusing dig, and so sad when the sites are already dug up and things sold off or stolen to rub out complete walls or part of structure...

This s is very interesting, it's strange feeling to know that we humans tend to continue building over the same sites as past inhabitants, it makes sense, somewhat level land, geographically centered in prime locations, wether for business or some benefit, we build literally on top of our fathers before us. Thank you for this video, I appreciate the effort to recognize the ones who lived previous to us just as we'll be built on top of us millennia from now.
Hi from New Zealand. My grandfather used to be the caretaker of the the NatWest Bank (now know as the bank house) at 1 Rushenden Rd (opposite the park). It was amazing seeing his old home on tv and I have fond memories of in the 1970s and 1980s visiting my grandfather and being taken into the bank, through a door from the lounge of the house.
@@GroundWorker34 Agreed. I was going thru Covid and anxiety because I could not take my medication, this was the only show that kept me from going crazy... Covid is a terrible thing. I had never felt as bad as I did this last month.
I like how on the beginning of day 1 the lawn looks beautifully flat, and by the end of day 3 it has transformed in 1 big mess of soil heaps mixed with archaeology
His name is Tim Taylor, and he's not just the series producer, but he's also an archaeologist. It's actually a spin-off from an earlier show called "Time Signs", also created by Taylor. Mick had nothing to do with the creation of either series, only the development.
I would love to come and intern with the TimeTeam, love the show! Keep up the good, educational and entertaining! PS: I am serious about volunteering and I have a pension! lol carry on...
In the town I was born in Holland they found in the 70ties a large castle. But because they didn't have the tools and knowledge they decided to bury it again so maybe generations later could dig it up! It's still land for animals now. Surrounded by new homes. Nobody can do any digging there. I'm still wondering what's there!
I think a lot of the time it depends, where they have been called in to assist others, there will be other works continuing once TT leave. What frequently happens is that many digs especially those linked to Universities is that they continue for years sometimes decades over the period of a few weeks each summer, and those that happen in urban centres are often refilled quite quickly or in the case of the only 4 day dig in TT history (in Coventry) the surrounding area was demolished whilst protecting the in situ finds which can be visited today.
Really enjoying the programmes, as I missed some first time around, we really need more. There’s a lot of looking back to look forward atm can Timeteam help us again?
Congratulations Brittany. Life is about to change big time. I don't know of any problems during your swimming.. Family find it a difficult moment. The additional Grand or Uncle and Aunt makes them feel older. I have a feeling a certain baby will be able to swim before walkin. Enjoy every stage. They grew so fast and the firsts queue up before you realise.. Congratulations again both of you.
I wonder if Fort Darnet, close by on a little island (Darnet Island?) in the river Medway, was designed based on this castle? It’s only 1 tier, so just ground level but it’s circular with rounded turrets all around the exterior.
Sorry, no. Artillery forts predated Queensborough by at least a century. Beaumaris (almost identical to Queensborough) was constructed around 1280, and fortification of castles during the early 1300's through defensive towers and crenellation was widespread throughout Europe.
@@maxsdad538 Beaumaris (constructed from 1295) is not really 'almost identical' to Queenborough - both are concentric designs with round towers, common to many similar structures of this era. They are similar inasmuch as most castles of this period are similar. Queenborough was circular in plan whereas Beaumaris is sub-rectangular. The curtain wall at Queenborough featured only two towers, either side of the main gate; Beaumaris has twelve towers as well as the sea and north gates, essentially adding another four towers. Both castles' inner wards had six towers but the two gatehouses at Beaumaris effectively increased this number to ten. Oliver Creighton, the castles expert in this episode, states that the castle most similar to Beaumaris is Harlech.
Can someone answer a question for me: after a dig, is it usual practice to cover over the things that have been found (after doing drawings and photographs and so forth), but taking away the little finds?
And who actually does this after the "stars" have gone home, do they have a dedicated "mop up" team? Particularly when they are in peoples' back yards removing patios and suchlike.
When Aragorn uses his sword to slap away the knife thrown by the big bad guy, that was real and improvised. The stunt guy accidentally threw the knife too close to Viggo Mortensen ‘s face, and Viggo/Aragorn had been practicing so much with the sword that he was able to knock the knife right out of the air. He lost a tooth shooting that fight. And broke two toes in the next film, The Two Towers. There’s a great story about Sean Bean / Boromir. He has a fear of helicopters, and they were taking a helicopter every day up to a high ridge where they were filming. One day Sean Bean said he wouldn’t get in the helicopter again but he’d meet them on the mountain. He started hiking and climbing while it was still dark, and arrived on foot as the others were flying in.
We are lucky in the UK in having virtually no beasts that can cause harm, other than one snake that probably about 0.1% of the population have ever even seen.
Phil is the greatest treasure on time team. I love them all but Phil is a man down playing years of skill and learning.

Phil's comment of "I know, think, engage brain Phil" made me laugh... so very relatable during a long day of work

“Beware of men with little jobs” words of wisdom from my man Phil
What a brilliant episode! The paper boat had nothing to do with the castle, but what fun chaps 😅
Oh, the joy of finding an episode that I hadn't seen before. Excellent! Thank you.
The paper boat with the fish oars is too funny for words! Further proof that the English have always loved eccentrics.

There were some episodes of time team America from PBS that you can find on PBS back catalog for free if my memory serves me right.

from above the castle, as well as the one built two hundred years later in Kent, look like flowers, the one in Kent made me think of the Tudor Rose

Stewart is always right :P
What always amazes me is he takes such serious pushback with a smile
Stewart is the lovable underdog of time team! Seeing him scuttle around on his bike makes me smile every time.

Sticking my fingers behind a woodpile in a cellar is not something I'd ever do in the US. I'm envious of the lack of poisonous spiders in the UK.
They're moving in, though!
We are lucky in the UK in having virtually no beasts that can cause harm, other than one snake that probably about 0.1% of the population have ever even seen.
Plenty of poisonous politicians, however!
Bravo !
