I happened across Time Team January 2020. Having anxiety and depression issues, there was,and still is, something soothing about the show. It's interesting, informative, and relaxing. Thank you for coming back! God bless you all.
Same. For me it is about putting life in perspective and appreciating the deep, diverse and challenging journey our ancestors traversed to bring us to where we are today.
That's so true, Time Team has been an incredibly valuable program for us too. My partner and I have been watching it here on TH-cam for about 8 years now. We are both disabled due to medical conditions and have issues with depression and anxiety as well. Team Time has been, and still is, a very reliable way for us to find peace and relaxation while being thoroughly entertained and educated at the same time. I wish I could afford to join Patreon but alas at this point in time, especially after all the flooding damage we're having to deal with, it's an a monthly expense I can't cover.
So VERY VERY happy to have Time Team back. Like many people I watched the 20 seasons over the last two years of pandemic and it is soothing and educational to view those shows. Of course we miss Mick and Victor and so many others from the early years, but am pleased to see Matt, Helen, Carenza, John and Stuart back on tv. The new presenters have a different approach than Sir Tony, but that is fine. Thank you Tim Taylor for getting this done - and people if you don’t subscribe to Patreon to help fund these episodes, please do - it is well worth it. I don’t think they require a minimum so give what you can.
Same here. I love it so much! and it saved my sanity too all the while learning something. I have gotten proficient at reading the lines on the photos and in the soil! lol
I'm glad they didn't try to re-invent the wheel with this show. It worked for so long and they just needed to continue on that path. We all have nostalgia, but using same format, same music is brilliant and can stand alone in 2021. Thank you Tim and Time Team!
I'm so glad they kept the music too. But there's too much of it for my taste. Whenever Gus talks, they play non stop glockenspiel plinky plonky music which is so annoying. I mute it and read subtitles :( Other than that, the whole show is fab!!
@@gmg9010 So? Phil is tough as nails. I guess he might have retired during Covid but before I saw him in a program digging up a Napoleonic battlefield in France which is a bit outside what I would have expected. Some people quickly retire at 65 but older people then Phil have works like US President... In either case where the dynamic between Phil and Tony my favorite part of the show, Tony walking into Phil's ditch and Phil getting very upset. :) Good times.
@@gmg9010 Lol, it really happened a couple of times in the early seasons but I think you are thinking of the time Phil almost lost it. :) Tony eventually learned a lot and his own historical programs today are rather good but when he started he was pretty clueless. I think that was actually really good since the viewers learned the same things together with him. Time team probably turned more young people into archaeology and history then anything else before or since. It is really great they are back, but it takes a while for those that are new to win the audience over. Mick, Tony, Phil and Francis are people that are pretty hard to replace even if I am very happy for the people who are still here with us for the new season.
good point. Social work education to observe social development in individuals, families but also community & work groups; inclusion of some debriefing in relaxed time is a good way to enable support, critiques, speculations, planning & further analysis of their day or TT activities. This strikes at the very core of human need - to develop safe, mutually beneficial work framed within ongoing relationships; and with similarly interested, yet very different & passionate folks to challenge inflexibility. I'm here to seek the strengths of the British people, catch familiar & unheard of lingo, grammar & sub-cultural accents. The good spirit & energy of Time Team actually enabled the re-birth of a veteran suffering with PTSD; who b/c it was life changing for him to reconnect to the present world, he went on to study archeology and create archeology opportunities for other veterans. as an adult child of generational trauma plus (both world wars, great depression, 1940's immigration from England to Canada) I too find engaging with Time Team always grounds me, the music & characters in the countryside soothes, it's assuredly safe with everyone being an experienced in 3 days of their lives and more. After working their body, knees, arm, wrist & even finger muscles, the pub environment would lighten and brighten up the show, make transparent jovial after thoughts, reflections & puns too.
@@maxsdad538 Wasn't her fault. She's fully qualified it was Channel 4 that screwed it all up. Moving production to Cardiff so they lost most of their behind the scenes crew and channel 4 wanted to attract younger viewers but they forget, in the 90s, when it started I was a younger viewer and still watched and enjoyed it. So no one should blame her, it was channel 4 that ruined it and did a disservice to Mick along with it.
Excellent recreation Raysan. It’s heart warming to see Victor’s artwork used in the Time Team reboot. In the end this episode is much like many in the original series. We don’t get all of the answers tied up with a bow. The work continues. Finds & geophys get digested. I think it would be interesting to circle back to the square ditch as it’s further excavated. Maybe a single Tine Team episode instead of a 3 day dig. Patreon & TH-cam give us flexibility that television formats wouldn’t allow. Great job everyone & thank you ✌️💚
It has lived up to expectations, the only downside for me personally is there was none of Phil's banter with John Gater and Stewart over the Geophysics and the map evidence. Gus is still a little bit shy but with time he with open up, just like Tony did while he still had hair. All in all a very enjoyable presentation, well done everyone. Now, off to the pub to celebrate.
I remember Tony in one of the first episodes calling skeletons ‘stiffs’. Also Carenza making excited assumptions about what things might be. They had a lot of energy in first seasons. Now the time team and dedicated viewers are much calmer and more experienced.
I hope there’s a lull at the Waterloo site so Phil can come on a dig later this year. He was on every single episode through Season 20. This is the first episode that he’s not in it.
"Gus is still a little bit shy but with time he with open up" That's what I was feeling too. He does a fantastic job, but I suspect he'll only get better.
Enjoyed Gus's contributions more as the three episodes progressed. He appeared to be more relaxed towards the end and that made for a much more enjoyable watching experience. By the finale I could really sense his natural enthusiasm. I would welcome much more from Natalie though - she seemed to bring some sparky down to earth wit but I felt like her appearances were too brief. Great to have the Time Team back. Essential viewing!
i agree with your natalie observation. i mean, she's billed as a "presenter" but her screen time was what less than 1/4 of gus' (including his VO). how much $$ could be saved by having the one presenter and putting that $$ back into the TT budget. unless, of course, she's there to attract the male audience. i dunno. it's got me stymied. thinking about this redux TT i've been resisting the change and newness. but i like gus - i like his voice and approach. tony and gus are two different people and each is bringing/brought their own style. i like them both - but i'm used to tony so i like him best. and, like many have stated, the addition of the Classic TT staff is brilliant.
@@belairjeff absolutely agree on Natalie. Lots of us donated to get TT back on, and I think some money should be saved by having just one presenter like before. Gus is perfect: intelligent, interesting, enthusiastic and witty!
I wonder if Natalie might be the more prominent presenter in the next dig? Maybe they've got a thing where they alternate between the two as the narrating presenter to allow for easier scheduling for the voiceovers
I never thought anyone could stand on par with Tony as a presenter, but I've been pleasantly surprised by Gus. Of course, he has a different style from Tony, but he keeps you engaged and entertained and helps you learn. Big thumbs up.
I really enjoyed him as well. Where Tony was exuberant and sometimes frenetic, Gus has a quieter calming approach. I enjoy them both, and certainly will also keep watching (rewatching) old TT as well as looking forward to more new ones.
Gus is a lot better than I expected and will take a bit of getting used to. However, I must admit that I will miss Tony's every man style and the way you felt that you were learning along with him and the banter between the crew
I thought his voice-over parts were a bit too "fairy-taily" but I liked the in-camera bits quite a lot. Still missing some of the old bunch. Great that it has been revived
On the presenters, I thought it was curious that Dr. Gus and Natalie were billed as co-presenters in the pre-publicity... but in the episode, Gus is absolutely The Presenter, doing all the old Tony stuff, while Natalie is just kind of around, doing some (but not all) of the pieces the archaeologists often ended up doing in the old days like the reenactment (in this case, pot-making).
I prefer the presenting style of this to having an over excitable devils advocate trying to impersonate Sir Tony. Gus and Natalie chats in the deck chairs ought to become a firm fixture of each programme 👏👍
I'd like a bit more enthusiasm, personally. Talking calmly and slowly takes a bit of excitement out of the whole thing. But I agree that the two presenters are doing a great job!👍
@@MichaelBerthelsen I fully agree. And the voice over is so relaxing that I am almost falling asleep while listening. It reminds me a bit too much of Bob Ross and his happy little trees.
@@eelcokruidenier8039 That was an excellent way to put it. A bit too Bob Ross. And I actually really like his voice, it's just that his WAY of talking so relaxedly is not hyping the content enough for me, making me engaged the way I get when I see Tony present.
In a world full of Kardashians and goggleboxes it makes me so happy to see that there is still an appetite for programmes like Time Team. It's so good to have the old gang back and really good new additions to the team, this is therapy for my eyes and I'm so glad to see you back on screen....You may also want to start selling whatever elixir Stuart & Helen have been chugging for the last ten years cos they've barely changed since the last episode aired!
Yes, the last thing you want is some network suits involved trying to "improve" it. Remember that was the thing that really annoyed Mick when they tried to do just that in the final seasons of the original!
I can't have been alone in having my doubts, not least because of who isn't in it, but that was brilliant.You haven't 'updated' the format, all of the traditional elements were there and none of the magic of the original has been lost. Outstanding !
Thank you, Time Team ! This is like meeting good long lost friends again. A real reality TV, scientific and with a purpose. There are so many reasons to love what you are creating, Time Team, thank you !
The three-episode format is so nice...I can't say enough good things about it. 30-60 more minutes per dig allow so much more of the story to be told, and allows for segments like experimental archaology projects to be included without leaving me feeling like something was skipped to make them fit. The TH-cam platform means also that the story itself will determine the length of each episode, not the advertising schedule. Loved it. Sure, I'm going to miss Tony, but it's also clear that Gus is going to be amazing.
Having just finished watching Day Three of this fascinating dig, I really, really want to thank the whole team behind and in front of the cameras for this wonderful experience. Like so many fans I have watched the first 20 seasons on Time Team, and I have to admit I was a bit apprehensive how I would feel about the show without some much loved team members. Having watched it, I am actually quite happy with the way things have turned out. In many aspects it is a wonderful continuation of the old format, with the addition of exciting new technology. It was great to see some familiar faces again, and I really like Nathalie and Gus as presenters. They did a very good job, and I think over the next digs (hopefully many more to come) they will all get to know each other better as a team, so at some point we might get back the easy banter and cameraderie that made the old episodes so special. So, after a spectacular start, I can´t wait for the next archaeological adventures of Time Team. It is so wonderful to have you back!
I love the new tech you are using!! I think you are doing a wonderful job of advancing time team into the future. Id like to hope that mick and victor are somewhere smiling over the new process.
So THRILLED to be watching new Time Team adventures. Love seeing some of the old team members, new team members & most definitely glad for the advances in technology. Just so amazing!! CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU ALL!! 🤗❤️👍
the 3d modeling is extremely exciting, and does a beautiful job of reconstructing what this site may have looked like. what a great way to open a new era of time team!
I am so glad this Time team has started again, I do miss Tony and Phil they were so much fun, I do miss seeing the end of the day pub time, I am looking forward to seeing more
Yes, that’s one thing I missed too was the end of the day pub time, that bridged the day, when they would sort of talk about the day’s finds and the day to come. That was a really nice part. Maybe it’s just me but I didn’t really feel there was much partying or camaraderie going on and in that way it’s coming off kind of dry and loses the spark, to be almost rigid. You get the feeling that everybody just goes home and comes back the next day like any other job. There’s lots of archaeological documentaries one can watch these days but what made Time Team special was the way they related to each other with their humor amongst the academia. I’m glad it’s back though , so I will keep on watching and maybe it’ll get better. I also liked the former one episode/3 day scenario as when could sense and feel the anticipation and build up of moving towards the third day. It gave it more of a sense of fun excitement. Knowing that of course they would come to a conclusion but sometimes they were surprises in the end. I miss Tony and Phil but time marches on.
I'm so thoroughly Thrilled to be watching new Time Teams...that they kept to the original soundtracks is fantastic and even better, that they made a three day dig into three shows instead of compressing it into one...absolutely Brilliant!!! Great to have you back 😀 Awesome to see they are referencing Victor's drawings 😀
Just FANTASTIC!!! My wife and I discovered Time Team a couple of years after it's original run, but we just fell in love with it. On Saturday morning I came home from working the night shift. My wife awoke and I said I had a surprise for her. I started playing part 1 (from Friday) and she just got so excited. She said "Wait!! Let me get my coffee", then sat with me as we watched with wide open eyes and giddy, child like excitement. So glad they're back, and so happy to have discovered this show here in the USA 5 years ago. We look forward to the next dig, and many more!
Yay for Victor's excellent art! I'm shocked that the square enclosure didn't turn out to have any organic finds like bones. I was sure it'd turn out to be a Victorian building. I'm happy to be wrong!
I am so very happy to have tripped over Time Team -- and with so many familiar faces! To see John Gater and Stewart Ainsworth bending over a map, the lovely Carenza and knowledgeable Naoimi, Matt and Helen, and so many more: this warmed my heart to the core. Time Team was my late husband's and my very favourite programme -- we have so many Time Team books on our shelves, and watched almost (maybe?) every episode from the earliest days. Thanks to everyone who helped get them back on the "air"! I'm going to go lend support to their Patreon account in hopes there will be many more Time Teams to follow.
There's certainly no replacing Tony is there, but the new presenters did an admirable job, the one thing that made it not an old school timeteam dig for me was not discovering they had to move a spoil heap to get to something critical ;) I look forward to the next one .
I love the reboot! It’s so good to see the old crew and new faces, the fantastic new tech, and I’m so glad they kept the original music. But it won’t really be Time Team until they get buckets of cold rain dumped on their heads! I’m looking forward to all the new digs!
As a Patron, this whole experience has been wonderful from the site reviews and voting to the dig updates to the final program - well done, Time Team! Looking forward to the next episodes.
It like an old friend had came to see you after years of being gone. Mick I would say is smiling where ever he is traveling on his celestial form. Thanks from an America long time fan
Those pottery finds were just amazing and beautiful. Looking forward to know what the analysis showed, hope we get to follow up on this. Loved the format, loved to be excited and chatting and naturally being live with everyone. Shout out to the team and their great work! Cheers 🍻
It's so nice to see members of the old crew back together again, searching for remnants from the past of Britain (I'm an American saying this). After watching all of the previous series and now the 3 parts of this new series, I look forward to the next episode!
Such a great 3 episodes for the first dig. Love the new team, it feels like old Time Team again! Be amazing if you could drag Tony & Phil in for an appearance just to say hello.
Absolutely wonderful. It's like a beautiful step into the future of the past. Thanks for beginning something so important, to so many people, back to us.
Huge congratulations on this first of the new episodes. You guys smashed it. So proud to have been a small part of supporting Time Team's return. Can't wait for more.
Classic Time Team, brilliant! Loved the gentle,less frenetic style, no jumping about getting really EXCITED about nothing just straight forward, highly engaging, really informative and fascinating archeology.
Simply wonderful to have Time Team back. Love the mix of old faces and new and great to see how the new tech can enhance the analysis. Yes it's sad there's no Tony or Phil and of course Mick will always be missed, but Gus and Natalie do a great job of bringing their own style while keeping true to the spirit of Time Team. I really like how each day is given it's own 30 minute video. Perfect. Can't wait for more episodes.
I'm SO GLAD Time Team is back! Thanks for not changing it too much! The mix of new tech and visualizations with some original cast members, original music, some of Victor's art, and experimental archeology is Great! It was interesting watching Naomi sifting out hidden information and Gator using new radar gear. Even the bit of nostalgia that Matt brought by digging with his grandfather's shovel was nice. Well Done!!
It is so good to have Time Team back, I've been watching it from it's very early days and learned so much over the years. The new presenters certainly had a challenge on their hands after Tony had been doing it for so many years, they did an excellent job. 😎👏👏👏
I am so excited about the new tech!! I’d love to learn more from the environmental analysis from the fugue (spelling?). It would be interesting to know what people were doing there or if the site was more ritual. It seems like there was so much going on in this small area of land through the ages! How will you sort it all out? I’m loving the new Time Team! Thank you for coming back😍
Gus and Natalie were lovely professionals. They did their job brilliantly. As an historian I applaud. Wonderful to see Time Team back. Do we miss Tony? Yes, a bit but he was an actor firstly. If the programme makes it back on MSM TV then no doubt another actor will be hired to bring conflict into the narrative. But this is an archaeological investigation fore-mostly and it answered questions that viewers may have. I enjoyed it. Great effort and well done TEAM 22!
Thank you very very much for bringing Time Team back I love it! Presenter isnt bad either, I thought he'd not be able to come close to Tony's skill but I was wrong, its about information, and he delivers that fine.
You need to let the show find its own groove, and even over these three shows he loosened up and became more relaxed, and his close was excellent. If you rewatch the early TT shows they were not as polished as the later ones in the subsequent seasons.
Am greatly appreciating this calmer version of time team with less manufactured drama - it’s plenty interesting as it is, no need to pile on excitement. Thank you for maintaining and improving the concept! And for all your no doubt backbreaking hard work!
Time Team as ASMR. The magic was there in the earlier seasons, and it's still there--with updated technology, better resolution, and even better sound. Love it. Wish Phil were here (and Tony and Guy) but I guess we can't have everything eh?
Absolutely a joy to see Time Team back at it again. I think that Gus and Nat are a great addition to the Team. Thank you Tim and everyone for bringing Time Team back. BTW, my new drinking game relies on the mention of “ritual”.
So very happy to be watching Time Team again. Seeing old faces and new, and using new technology alongside tried and true techniques, this new series is going to be truly amazing.
Thank you all. I don't think I realized how much I had missed Time Team. Dr. Casely-Hayford is a wonderful host and its great to see the familiar faces but also the new members. Having just come back from a brief trip to North America's prehistory in the Desert Southwest I can understand the power in understanding the past and also recognizing that our distant ancestors understood technology - yes different than ours - but no way less worthy than our own. Oddly silicon as a component of many clays and of chips links us.
I thoroughly enjoyed this 3 part dig and I want to say a HUGE THANK YOU to everyone involved in making it happen. This program means more to my partner and me than you could ever imagine. It is a beacon we gravitate to whenever we want reliable engaging content that is also calming and relaxing to watch whilst also being so educational! It's got it all!! I loved seeing all of the familiar faces and I totally love the new presenters even though they are not Sir Tony who I adore. Well done Tim and the entire Time Team crew this had all of the key elements that make Time Team so watchable for me.
Bravo, Guys! You've taken a tested format, tuned it with new tech, and still kept this American who binge watched the old Time team shows through the lockdowns, interested and waiting for new discoveries. Love the new tech, and new presenters. Also love that you kept the music and opening scenes. And so happy that the presenters are actually historians! They know how things should be done. Excellent work! Looking forward to watching the next dig.
👏👏👏👏👏👏 thank you guys so much for this. I love how you wrapped it up and it is still the same Time Team but it has changed with the times as it should have. It's not pretending to be something that it used to be but it still engages us as viewers and we feel like we are right there with you. Can't wait to add this to my list of favorites and sitting anxiously with baited breath for the next 3 episodes of the second dig. I hope that you guys keep us updated as you have been about what is happening next with this site and it would be amazing to see if the TV Gods will try to entice you back. But as a viewer from America I completely appreciate that I got to see history being made and discovered at the same time as everyone else over the pond. 💕💕💕👏👏👏👏👏
I have watched Time Team from series one. Thank you so much for continuing with the magic. You didn't disappoint. Gus is a worthy replacement for Tony.
So pleased to see Time Team back! I binged on the original shows through the early part of the pandemic, so watching this show was like being reunited with an old friend. Great to see old familiar faces, and new ones too. Greetings from Canada!
Absolutely love that Time Team is back. While I miss Tony and Phil and of course Mick(rip) this is just as good as old Time Team to me. I enjoy the new presenter and the new faces along with the old. And the music and classic animations being back as well. Love it. Can't wait to see more and to donate when I'm able.
What an outstanding addition to the team Dr Casely-Hayford is. You have done brilliantly to get him on board. Such a lovely voice too, perfect for the role. So pleased TT is back!
I’m so pleased you’ve kept the tracks for the various aspects of the show. The return of the various members is wonderful. The new narrator is a pleasant fit. Quality
Hugely impressed - again - by Carl Thorpe's astonishing knowledge of the pottery of the South West; by James Gossip's enthusiasm for, and commitment to, this long-running excavation. It's been great to be able to look at the site in so much more detail than the previous commercially-driven series would allow. Can't wait for the Broughton Castle site!
OMG you guys have nailed it. This not only retains the charm and personality of the original, but updates it beautifully. Is even say you’ve improved on the formula. It feels like a community event, with faces we know and new folks doing their best to reveal archeology professionally but without patronising. Thank you. Eleven and a half out of ten.
I absolutely love this new format you guys have gone with for time team, you focus more on the archeology this way also with three 30 minute episodes that come out day by day. I like the direction you guys are going with this format
I already commented on the first two parts, and here I'd like to add that i really really appreciate that Time Team is still Time Team, if you know what i mean. I can still feel the original athmosphere, the show and the team still have its original soul, in my opinion, and I love it! Obviously, it would be absolutely wonderful if Tony and Phil, and also Victor and Mick, and all the others who are missing could be here aswell, enjoying all of this with us and joining the team, sitting together in a pub maybe. But again, Time Team still feels like Time Team. thank you so so much for that, and for bringing back the show! I absolutely love of, so so much! Thank you ❤
Thank you, thank you for bringing new technology but with the same format, same music, same love and soul from the original series, this is what we love to watch and bringing back Victor's paintings was so moving. It's wonderful to have Carenza, Matt, Helen, John, Stewart back with us. I believe that Mick Ashton would be very happy with this and very proud too. Hopefully in the future we will have some other known faces back ,here and there, also. And I liked the new presenters too.
Great eppisode. I enjoyed it very much. Proud tp be a Patreon for like 1,5 year now. Proud to be part of the TT community. Looking forward to the next episode. Thanks team, thanks Gus! Warm regards from Middelburg, Netherlands
I'm thrilled to see the new Time Team find a way to link to the original Time Team. Gus and Natalie are deserving of continuing what Sir Tony started so long ago.
This proves it still works whilst modernising some elements but I was left wanting more. I guess that is where the patreon element steps in. Whereas with the TV show you could just wait till the next episode and almost forget what was left unanswered. Now if one so wishes they can stay connected and learn more over time. Its a great achievement pulling this off.
TT always only just scratches the surface. So frustrating that it's limited to 3 days. But so fascinating what can be found (and found out, summised, and speculated about) in that short time period. Thank you for coming back TT. Please stay.
Thank you for bringing Time Team back. I enjoy the bond and excitement between new and original members. I also am enjoying the integration of new tech. Please continue this enjoyable work.
Very happy with time team re boot. I watched the original runs years back and again on YT when I was recovering from a major op in 2019/20. The show help me pull through a low period. As this re boot would have. Glad not too much change with the format and Gus is a 100% success, his easy going I want to learn style hit all the right notes. Loved the new gadgets and only time will tell if the make for better results for the digs. A great first episode that bodes well for all to come.
Thanks from the bottom of my heart to everyone who dobated, everyone who worked on this and anyone else who deserves thanks. I can't begin to tell you how helpful and genuinely entertaining it is to see. Time Team is an eternal idea now. What an amazing thing you've all done. Imagine 200 seasons of time team being considered an audio visual archaeology encyclopedia. Wouldn't that be something.
I have watched every single Time Team from the very first. Never missed one, not even a Big Dig live segment. I came and had a chat and brought you some tessera and bits of pot from my garden when you were in the park opposite my house in Wigan looking for the roman road.. but you couldn't put a hole in my front garden.. there just wasn't room. What can I say.. Success.. I love the 30 minutes over 3 days format.. Feels like a Big Dig weekend. Congratulations. I will now be stuck in at the weekends for the premieres. Long may this continue. Unless I get back to my landscape investigations of the coal mining antiquities. Thanks Stuart.. you taught me how to look at old maps and then go look at the landscape.. which is a fantastic free hobby.
Wonderful, wonderful work Time Team! I love that you kept a bunch of the original graphics and sound design-this feels like a true continuation rather than a reboot. And using Victor's drawings was such a lovely things as well. (The addition of the timeline was helpful too! I have trouble keeping track of that kind of thing.)

The lead presenter has an excellent speaking voice in most shots he's in - until they start narrating, and drops their commentary to a sleepy murmur.
@@snodrog5 thats why its called "narrating" its the background voice ;) xx
@@keithskelhorne3993 But not a good narrating voice ;-)
@@snodrog5 I like his narrating voice, very solemn
@John I find his voice soothing too. I hope people give him a chance. I'd love to see loads more Patrons!
I happened across Time Team January 2020. Having anxiety and depression issues, there was,and still is, something soothing about the show. It's interesting, informative, and relaxing. Thank you for coming back! God bless you all.
Same. For me it is about putting life in perspective and appreciating the deep, diverse and challenging journey our ancestors traversed to bring us to where we are today.
@@CoiaItaly well said Aaron!
I’ve been a fan since 2012 or so
That's so true, Time Team has been an incredibly valuable program for us too. My partner and I have been watching it here on TH-cam for about 8 years now. We are both disabled due to medical conditions and have issues with depression and anxiety as well. Team Time has been, and still is, a very reliable way for us to find peace and relaxation while being thoroughly entertained and educated at the same time. I wish I could afford to join Patreon but alas at this point in time, especially after all the flooding damage we're having to deal with, it's an a monthly expense I can't cover.
It grounds me too when all around is crazy. I know what you mean.
So VERY VERY happy to have Time Team back. Like many people I watched the 20 seasons over the last two years of pandemic and it is soothing and educational to view those shows. Of course we miss Mick and Victor and so many others from the early years, but am pleased to see Matt, Helen, Carenza, John and Stuart back on tv. The new presenters have a different approach than Sir Tony, but that is fine. Thank you Tim Taylor for getting this done - and people if you don’t subscribe
to Patreon to help fund these episodes, please do - it is well worth it. I don’t think they require a minimum so give what you can.
Same here. I love it so much! and it saved my sanity too all the while learning something. I have gotten proficient at reading the lines on the photos and in the soil! lol
The new presenters are just fantastic. So positive and friendly.
From what I can see, there's a £5 a month minimum on Patreon, and sadly I can't afford it so I just try to show as much activity here as possible!
No the excitement Sir Tony put into it is missing it’s now dull and lacks life.
@@kayradford3793 I prefer to keep it positive. The new presenters are just the right thing.
I'm glad they didn't try to re-invent the wheel with this show. It worked for so long and they just needed to continue on that path. We all have nostalgia, but using same format, same music is brilliant and can stand alone in 2021. Thank you Tim and Time Team!
The music is timeless. Will always work for the show.
you sir, has winned the tinterweb for today! may the blue bird of happiness make its nest in your nostril!
The format is much less hurried than previously, and that they didn't change the music or so is fortunate, you are spot on there.
I'm so glad they kept the music too. But there's too much of it for my taste. Whenever Gus talks, they play non stop glockenspiel plinky plonky music which is so annoying. I mute it and read subtitles :( Other than that, the whole show is fab!!
@@Francoyankie I disagree about it being non-stop; it feels very similar to how it always was with Tony on the original run.
Seeing John and Stewart together and talking is so awesome and nostalgic
It is, but I wish Phil was back too... Last I heard he was digging in France.
@@loke6664 isn’t he like 82 ?
Correction 72
@@gmg9010 So? Phil is tough as nails. I guess he might have retired during Covid but before I saw him in a program digging up a Napoleonic battlefield in France which is a bit outside what I would have expected.
Some people quickly retire at 65 but older people then Phil have works like US President...
In either case where the dynamic between Phil and Tony my favorite part of the show, Tony walking into Phil's ditch and Phil getting very upset. :)
Good times.
@@loke6664 yeah I love that episode
@@gmg9010 Lol, it really happened a couple of times in the early seasons but I think you are thinking of the time Phil almost lost it. :)
Tony eventually learned a lot and his own historical programs today are rather good but when he started he was pretty clueless.
I think that was actually really good since the viewers learned the same things together with him. Time team probably turned more young people into archaeology and history then anything else before or since.
It is really great they are back, but it takes a while for those that are new to win the audience over.
Mick, Tony, Phil and Francis are people that are pretty hard to replace even if I am very happy for the people who are still here with us for the new season.
Only thing missing, are the visits to the pub "discussing" potential finds.
Great show, happy it's back!
Because of Covid I guess
...depends on the location, maybe in the next Ep!
good point.
Social work education to observe social development in individuals, families but also community & work groups; inclusion of some debriefing in relaxed time is a good way to enable support, critiques, speculations, planning & further analysis of their day or TT activities.
This strikes at the very core of human need - to develop safe, mutually beneficial work framed within ongoing relationships; and with similarly interested, yet very different & passionate folks to challenge inflexibility.
I'm here to seek the strengths of the British people, catch familiar & unheard of lingo, grammar & sub-cultural accents.
The good spirit & energy of Time Team actually enabled the re-birth of a veteran suffering with PTSD; who b/c it was life changing for him to reconnect to the present world, he went on to study archeology and create archeology opportunities for other veterans.
as an adult child of generational trauma plus (both world wars, great depression, 1940's immigration from England to Canada) I too find engaging with Time Team always grounds me, the music & characters in the countryside soothes, it's assuredly safe with everyone being an experienced in 3 days of their lives and more. After working their body, knees, arm, wrist & even finger muscles, the pub environment would lighten and brighten up the show, make transparent jovial after thoughts, reflections & puns too.
No Phil, no pub, I guess :D
You need the biggest pub goers - Phil, Mick and Tony. Without them, the pull towards the pub is lessened. :D
Magic is still there and is drawing me in. Mick would be pleased with this result
And NO MORE "disco" archaeology with Mary-Ann Ochota!
@@maxsdad538 completely agree, she ruined it, so relieving to see old school time team but with a valid modern twist.
@@maxsdad538 Wasn't her fault. She's fully qualified it was Channel 4 that screwed it all up. Moving production to Cardiff so they lost most of their behind the scenes crew and channel 4 wanted to attract younger viewers but they forget, in the 90s, when it started I was a younger viewer and still watched and enjoyed it. So no one should blame her, it was channel 4 that ruined it and did a disservice to Mick along with it.
Agreed, He didn't like all the 'cutesy entertainment stuff'. He wanted to stick to the serious archaeology.
Excellent recreation Raysan. It’s heart warming to see Victor’s artwork used in the Time Team reboot. In the end this episode is much like many in the original series. We don’t get all of the answers tied up with a bow. The work continues. Finds & geophys get digested. I think it would be interesting to circle back to the square ditch as it’s further excavated. Maybe a single Tine Team episode instead of a 3 day dig. Patreon & TH-cam give us flexibility that television formats wouldn’t allow. Great job everyone & thank you ✌️💚
It has lived up to expectations, the only downside for me personally is there was none of Phil's banter with John Gater and Stewart over the Geophysics and the map evidence. Gus is still a little bit shy but with time he with open up, just like Tony did while he still had hair. All in all a very enjoyable presentation, well done everyone.
Now, off to the pub to celebrate.
"while he still had hair" savage HAHAHAHA
I remember Tony in one of the first episodes calling skeletons ‘stiffs’. Also Carenza making excited assumptions about what things might be. They had a lot of energy in first seasons. Now the time team and dedicated viewers are much calmer and more experienced.
I hope there’s a lull at the Waterloo site so Phil can come on a dig later this year. He was on every single episode through Season 20. This is the first episode that he’s not in it.
Where's Tony?
"Gus is still a little bit shy but with time he with open up" That's what I was feeling too. He does a fantastic job, but I suspect he'll only get better.
Enjoyed Gus's contributions more as the three episodes progressed. He appeared to be more relaxed towards the end and that made for a much more enjoyable watching experience. By the finale I could really sense his natural enthusiasm. I would welcome much more from Natalie though - she seemed to bring some sparky down to earth wit but I felt like her appearances were too brief. Great to have the Time Team back. Essential viewing!
i agree with your natalie observation. i mean, she's billed as a "presenter" but her screen time was what less than 1/4 of gus' (including his VO). how much $$ could be saved by having the one presenter and putting that $$ back into the TT budget. unless, of course, she's there to attract the male audience. i dunno. it's got me stymied.
thinking about this redux TT i've been resisting the change and newness. but i like gus - i like his voice and approach. tony and gus are two different people and each is bringing/brought their own style. i like them both - but i'm used to tony so i like him best.
and, like many have stated, the addition of the Classic TT staff is brilliant.
@@belairjeff absolutely agree on Natalie. Lots of us donated to get TT back on, and I think some money should be saved by having just one presenter like before. Gus is perfect: intelligent, interesting, enthusiastic and witty!
@@erinobrien8408 can you still donate for possible future episodes, erin?
I wonder if Natalie might be the more prominent presenter in the next dig? Maybe they've got a thing where they alternate between the two as the narrating presenter to allow for easier scheduling for the voiceovers
@@btcprox That could be, I hadn't thought of that!
I never thought anyone could stand on par with Tony as a presenter, but I've been pleasantly surprised by Gus. Of course, he has a different style from Tony, but he keeps you engaged and entertained and helps you learn. Big thumbs up.
I really enjoyed him as well. Where Tony was exuberant and sometimes frenetic, Gus has a quieter calming approach. I enjoy them both, and certainly will also keep watching (rewatching) old TT as well as looking forward to more new ones.
Yes I agree. Gus has a very restful voice and Natalie brings a bit of humour and fun. I like them both...keep up the good work!
Gus is a lot better than I expected and will take a bit of getting used to. However, I must admit that I will miss Tony's every man style and the way you felt that you were learning along with him and the banter between the crew
I thought his voice-over parts were a bit too "fairy-taily" but I liked the in-camera bits quite a lot. Still missing some of the old bunch. Great that it has been revived
On the presenters, I thought it was curious that Dr. Gus and Natalie were billed as co-presenters in the pre-publicity... but in the episode, Gus is absolutely The Presenter, doing all the old Tony stuff, while Natalie is just kind of around, doing some (but not all) of the pieces the archaeologists often ended up doing in the old days like the reenactment (in this case, pot-making).
Loved that you looked through Victor Ambrus's archive. Such a lovely way to keep him involved and his legacy alive
Not unlike all other literature, artwork and more... 😮😊
I prefer the presenting style of this to having an over excitable devils advocate trying to impersonate Sir Tony. Gus and Natalie chats in the deck chairs ought to become a firm fixture of each programme 👏👍
What a neat idea! Love that picture.
Wonderfully put!
I'd like a bit more enthusiasm, personally. Talking calmly and slowly takes a bit of excitement out of the whole thing. But I agree that the two presenters are doing a great job!👍
@@MichaelBerthelsen I fully agree. And the voice over is so relaxing that I am almost falling asleep while listening. It reminds me a bit too much of Bob Ross and his happy little trees.
@@eelcokruidenier8039 That was an excellent way to put it. A bit too Bob Ross. And I actually really like his voice, it's just that his WAY of talking so relaxedly is not hyping the content enough for me, making me engaged the way I get when I see Tony present.
In a world full of Kardashians and goggleboxes it makes me so happy to see that there is still an appetite for programmes like Time Team. It's so good to have the old gang back and really good new additions to the team, this is therapy for my eyes and I'm so glad to see you back on screen....You may also want to start selling whatever elixir Stuart & Helen have been chugging for the last ten years cos they've barely changed since the last episode aired!
Gus is an excellent replacement for Tony. He is personable and knowledgeable. Very well done!
Excellent 3 part series to mark the return of Time Team to the “airwaves” of the internet! BBC should take notice and fund future shows!
It all comes down to money - it's why C4 had to stop before...
Crowdfunding is the way to go. The only people who can cancel the show, are the fans who contribute.
Keep it away from EBC, they will ruin it
Yes, the last thing you want is some network suits involved trying to "improve" it. Remember that was the thing that really annoyed Mick when they tried to do just that in the final seasons of the original!
I would hope that the BBC would have learned from their last mistake of being too involved and just fund them to continue the series.
To get excited about something at my age 75 is just wonderful thanks Time Team you are the bees knees.
I can’t tell you guys how happy I am to see these digs back. What an exciting dig this one is.
I can't have been alone in having my doubts, not least because of who isn't in it, but that was brilliant.You haven't 'updated' the format, all of the traditional elements were there and none of the magic of the original has been lost. Outstanding !
Thank you, Time Team ! This is like meeting good long lost friends again. A real reality TV, scientific and with a purpose. There are so many reasons to love what you are creating, Time Team, thank you !
The three-episode format is so nice...I can't say enough good things about it. 30-60 more minutes per dig allow so much more of the story to be told, and allows for segments like experimental archaology projects to be included without leaving me feeling like something was skipped to make them fit. The TH-cam platform means also that the story itself will determine the length of each episode, not the advertising schedule. Loved it. Sure, I'm going to miss Tony, but it's also clear that Gus is going to be amazing.
Having just finished watching Day Three of this fascinating dig, I really, really want to thank the whole team behind and in front of the cameras for this wonderful experience. Like so many fans I have watched the first 20 seasons on Time Team, and I have to admit I was a bit apprehensive how I would feel about the show without some much loved team members. Having watched it, I am actually quite happy with the way things have turned out. In many aspects it is a wonderful continuation of the old format, with the addition of exciting new technology. It was great to see some familiar faces again, and I really like Nathalie and Gus as presenters. They did a very good job, and I think over the next digs (hopefully many more to come) they will all get to know each other better as a team, so at some point we might get back the easy banter and cameraderie that made the old episodes so special. So, after a spectacular start, I can´t wait for the next archaeological adventures of Time Team. It is so wonderful to have you back!
I love the new tech you are using!! I think you are doing a wonderful job of advancing time team into the future. Id like to hope that mick and victor are somewhere smiling over the new process.
Welcome back, Time Team, you've gone above and beyond all my expectations. It was such a lovely episode!
Im looking forward to the next 30 years with the new gang,,thank you again for coming back time team
Natalie is a natural! Great on the show.
So THRILLED to be watching new Time Team adventures. Love seeing some of the old team members, new team members & most definitely glad for the advances in technology. Just so amazing!! CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU ALL!! 🤗❤️👍
Bring the old team back.
the 3d modeling is extremely exciting, and does a beautiful job of reconstructing what this site may have looked like. what a great way to open a new era of time team!
I am so glad this Time team has started again, I do miss Tony and Phil they were so much fun, I do miss seeing the end of the day pub time, I am looking forward to seeing more
perhaps phil can join other ones perhaps, sometimes they bring in specialists for some areas?
Yes, that’s one thing I missed too was the end of the day pub time, that bridged the day, when they would sort of talk about the day’s finds and the day to come. That was a really nice part. Maybe it’s just me but I didn’t really feel there was much partying or camaraderie going on and in that way it’s coming off kind of dry and loses the spark, to be almost rigid. You get the feeling that everybody just goes home and comes back the next day like any other job. There’s lots of archaeological documentaries one can watch these days but what made Time Team special was the way they related to each other with their humor amongst the academia.
I’m glad it’s back though , so I will keep on watching and maybe it’ll get better. I also liked the former one episode/3 day scenario as when could sense and feel the anticipation and build up of moving towards the third day. It gave it more of a sense of fun excitement. Knowing that of course they would come to a conclusion but sometimes they were surprises in the end. I miss Tony and Phil but time marches on.
I'm so thoroughly Thrilled to be watching new Time Teams...that they kept to the original soundtracks is fantastic and even better, that they made a three day dig into three shows instead of compressing it into one...absolutely Brilliant!!! Great to have you back 😀 Awesome to see they are referencing Victor's drawings 😀
Just FANTASTIC!!! My wife and I discovered Time Team a couple of years after it's original run, but we just fell in love with it. On Saturday morning I came home from working the night shift. My wife awoke and I said I had a surprise for her. I started playing part 1 (from Friday) and she just got so excited. She said "Wait!! Let me get my coffee", then sat with me as we watched with wide open eyes and giddy, child like excitement. So glad they're back, and so happy to have discovered this show here in the USA 5 years ago. We look forward to the next dig, and many more!
Yay for Victor's excellent art! I'm shocked that the square enclosure didn't turn out to have any organic finds like bones. I was sure it'd turn out to be a Victorian building. I'm happy to be wrong!
I am so very happy to have tripped over Time Team -- and with so many familiar faces! To see John Gater and Stewart Ainsworth bending over a map, the lovely Carenza and knowledgeable Naoimi, Matt and Helen, and so many more: this warmed my heart to the core. Time Team was my late husband's and my very favourite programme -- we have so many Time Team books on our shelves, and watched almost (maybe?) every episode from the earliest days. Thanks to everyone who helped get them back on the "air"! I'm going to go lend support to their Patreon account in hopes there will be many more Time Teams to follow.
There's certainly no replacing Tony is there, but the new presenters did an admirable job, the one thing that made it not an old school timeteam dig for me was not discovering they had to move a spoil heap to get to something critical ;)
I look forward to the next one .
Or anything just off of a cleared area, under the nettles.
Give them time. It's one of those inevitable things. :)
Well, they did keep the tradition of a 'roman temple' usually not being one. :)
I love the reboot! It’s so good to see the old crew and new faces, the fantastic new tech, and I’m so glad they kept the original music. But it won’t really be Time Team until they get buckets of cold rain dumped on their heads! I’m looking forward to all the new digs!
As a Patron, this whole experience has been wonderful from the site reviews and voting to the dig updates to the final program - well done, Time Team! Looking forward to the next episodes.
It like an old friend had came to see you after years of being gone. Mick I would say is smiling where ever he is traveling on his celestial form. Thanks from an America long time fan
Very well done, Time Team! Very well done!
Those pottery finds were just amazing and beautiful. Looking forward to know what the analysis showed, hope we get to follow up on this. Loved the format, loved to be excited and chatting and naturally being live with everyone. Shout out to the team and their great work! Cheers 🍻
Excellent job. Hope this prompts people to become Patreon supporters to fund more new digs.
It's so nice to see members of the old crew back together again, searching for remnants from the past of Britain (I'm an American saying this). After watching all of the previous series and now the 3 parts of this new series, I look forward to the next episode!
Nailed it. Great job everyone who contributed.
Well done Dr. Gus, and Ms Haynes! Well done to the rest of the team, and Tim Taylor! Thanks to my sister and brother Paetreons!
Gus and Natalie will flourish as the season progresses. Good show!
Standing Ovation!! Well done Time Team! Oh how I missed you!
absolutely loved the 3 new episodes, such an interesting site and a great mix of old and new faces, thank you.
Such a great 3 episodes for the first dig. Love the new team, it feels like old Time Team again! Be amazing if you could drag Tony & Phil in for an appearance just to say hello.
As I understand, there will have to be a lull at the Waterloo site for Phil to have time to do an episode.
@@schoolingdiana9086 OK, I hadn't heard of that. Who's he working for there ?
Love the three part episode. Amazing technology, incredible team, can't wait for the next dig!
Absolutely wonderful. It's like a beautiful step into the future of the past. Thanks for beginning something so important, to so many people, back to us.
Love the familiar faces and liking the new ones too!
Huge congratulations on this first of the new episodes. You guys smashed it. So proud to have been a small part of supporting Time Team's return. Can't wait for more.
Classic Time Team, brilliant! Loved the gentle,less frenetic style, no jumping about getting really EXCITED about nothing just straight forward, highly engaging, really informative and fascinating archeology.
Simply wonderful to have Time Team back. Love the mix of old faces and new and great to see how the new tech can enhance the analysis. Yes it's sad there's no Tony or Phil and of course Mick will always be missed, but Gus and Natalie do a great job of bringing their own style while keeping true to the spirit of Time Team. I really like how each day is given it's own 30 minute video. Perfect. Can't wait for more episodes.
I'm SO GLAD Time Team is back! Thanks for not changing it too much! The mix of new tech and visualizations with some original cast members, original music, some of Victor's art, and experimental archeology is Great! It was interesting watching Naomi sifting out hidden information and Gator using new radar gear. Even the bit of nostalgia that Matt brought by digging with his grandfather's shovel was nice. Well Done!!
It is so good to have Time Team back, I've been watching it from it's very early days and learned so much over the years. The new presenters certainly had a challenge on their hands after Tony had been doing it for so many years, they did an excellent job. 😎👏👏👏
I am so excited about the new tech!! I’d love to learn more from the environmental analysis from the fugue (spelling?). It would be interesting to know what people were doing there or if the site was more ritual. It seems like there was so much going on in this small area of land through the ages! How will you sort it all out?
I’m loving the new Time Team! Thank you for coming back😍
Fogou is how it is spelled in description box
Gus and Natalie were lovely professionals. They did their job brilliantly. As an historian I applaud. Wonderful to see Time Team back. Do we miss Tony? Yes, a bit but he was an actor firstly. If the programme makes it back on MSM TV then no doubt another actor will be hired to bring conflict into the narrative. But this is an archaeological investigation fore-mostly and it answered questions that viewers may have. I enjoyed it. Great effort and well done TEAM 22!
Thank you very very much for bringing Time Team back I love it! Presenter isnt bad either, I thought he'd not be able to come close to Tony's skill but I was wrong, its about information, and he delivers that fine.
You need to let the show find its own groove, and even over these three shows he loosened up and became more relaxed, and his close was excellent. If you rewatch the early TT shows they were not as polished as the later ones in the subsequent seasons.
Am greatly appreciating this calmer version of time team with less manufactured drama - it’s plenty interesting as it is, no need to pile on excitement. Thank you for maintaining and improving the concept! And for all your no doubt backbreaking hard work!
Time Team as ASMR. The magic was there in the earlier seasons, and it's still there--with updated technology, better resolution, and even better sound. Love it. Wish Phil were here (and Tony and Guy) but I guess we can't have everything eh?
So happy time team is back!! No one could ever "replace" Sir Tony... But Gus has done an excellent job carrying that torch onward 🙏 keep it up!
Absolutely a joy to see Time Team back at it again. I think that Gus and Nat are a great addition to the Team. Thank you Tim and everyone for bringing Time Team back. BTW, my new drinking game relies on the mention of “ritual”.
Yes, I wondered how strongly Tony would have scoffed at everything at first being ritual
How about every time it rains on Time Team. lol
@@joeschmoe4871 I can’t drink that much🤣.
This is so true to the original productions… So nice to see the artist is similar to Victors sketches and even got another lovely red haired lass…
So very happy to be watching Time Team again. Seeing old faces and new, and using new technology alongside tried and true techniques, this new series is going to be truly amazing.
Thank you all. I don't think I realized how much I had missed Time Team. Dr. Casely-Hayford is a wonderful host and its great to see the familiar faces but also the new members. Having just come back from a brief trip to North America's prehistory in the Desert Southwest I can understand the power in understanding the past and also recognizing that our distant ancestors understood technology - yes different than ours - but no way less worthy than our own. Oddly silicon as a component of many clays and of chips links us.
I thoroughly enjoyed this 3 part dig and I want to say a HUGE THANK YOU to everyone involved in making it happen. This program means more to my partner and me than you could ever imagine. It is a beacon we gravitate to whenever we want reliable engaging content that is also calming and relaxing to watch whilst also being so educational! It's got it all!! I loved seeing all of the familiar faces and I totally love the new presenters even though they are not Sir Tony who I adore. Well done Tim and the entire Time Team crew this had all of the key elements that make Time Team so watchable for me.
Bravo, Guys! You've taken a tested format, tuned it with new tech, and still kept this American who binge watched the old Time team shows through the lockdowns, interested and waiting for new discoveries. Love the new tech, and new presenters. Also love that you kept the music and opening scenes. And so happy that the presenters are actually historians! They know how things should be done.
Excellent work! Looking forward to watching the next dig.
👏👏👏👏👏👏 thank you guys so much for this. I love how you wrapped it up and it is still the same Time Team but it has changed with the times as it should have. It's not pretending to be something that it used to be but it still engages us as viewers and we feel like we are right there with you. Can't wait to add this to my list of favorites and sitting anxiously with baited breath for the next 3 episodes of the second dig. I hope that you guys keep us updated as you have been about what is happening next with this site and it would be amazing to see if the TV Gods will try to entice you back. But as a viewer from America I completely appreciate that I got to see history being made and discovered at the same time as everyone else over the pond. 💕💕💕👏👏👏👏👏
I have watched Time Team from series one. Thank you so much for continuing with the magic. You didn't disappoint. Gus is a worthy replacement for Tony.
So pleased to see Time Team back! I binged on the original shows through the early part of the pandemic, so watching this show was like being reunited with an old friend. Great to see old familiar faces, and new ones too. Greetings from Canada!
Really moved to see Victor Ambrus's artwork in this.
Absolutely love that Time Team is back. While I miss Tony and Phil and of course Mick(rip) this is just as good as old Time Team to me. I enjoy the new presenter and the new faces along with the old. And the music and classic animations being back as well. Love it. Can't wait to see more and to donate when I'm able.
What an outstanding addition to the team Dr Casely-Hayford is. You have done brilliantly to get him on board. Such a lovely voice too, perfect for the role. So pleased TT is back!
I’m so pleased you’ve kept the tracks for the various aspects of the show.
The return of the various members is wonderful.
The new narrator is a pleasant fit. Quality
Hugely impressed - again - by Carl Thorpe's astonishing knowledge of the pottery of the South West; by James Gossip's enthusiasm for, and commitment to, this long-running excavation. It's been great to be able to look at the site in so much more detail than the previous commercially-driven series would allow. Can't wait for the Broughton Castle site!
I love this new and Old shows !!!!! Thank you soo much for this program and every ones hard work !!!!
OMG you guys have nailed it. This not only retains the charm and personality of the original, but updates it beautifully. Is even say you’ve improved on the formula. It feels like a community event, with faces we know and new folks doing their best to reveal archeology professionally but without patronising. Thank you. Eleven and a half out of ten.
Great fun seeing this again - I think I've seen all the older episodes and really enjoyed them so this is such a treat.
So proud to be a Patreon supporter of Time Team for a year now! What a joy to see Time Team back.
I absolutely love this new format you guys have gone with for time team, you focus more on the archeology this way also with three 30 minute episodes that come out day by day. I like the direction you guys are going with this format
Simply marvellous !!!! New faces, new tech bonded together by voices from the early days of Time Team. What a joy to see.
Really enjoy the two new presenters. And the 'old' crew did not disappoint. Oh, how we have missed them!
I already commented on the first two parts, and here I'd like to add that i really really appreciate that Time Team is still Time Team, if you know what i mean. I can still feel the original athmosphere, the show and the team still have its original soul, in my opinion, and I love it!
Obviously, it would be absolutely wonderful if Tony and Phil, and also Victor and Mick, and all the others who are missing could be here aswell, enjoying all of this with us and joining the team, sitting together in a pub maybe.
But again, Time Team still feels like Time Team.
thank you so so much for that, and for bringing back the show! I absolutely love of, so so much! Thank you ❤
Welcome back. Another episode to rewatch to death!
Thank you, thank you for bringing new technology but with the same format, same music, same love and soul from the original series, this is what we love to watch and bringing back Victor's paintings was so moving.
It's wonderful to have Carenza, Matt, Helen, John, Stewart back with us. I believe that Mick Ashton would be very happy with this and very proud too. Hopefully in the future we will have some other known faces back ,here and there, also.
And I liked the new presenters too.
Great eppisode. I enjoyed it very much. Proud tp be a Patreon for like 1,5 year now. Proud to be part of the TT community. Looking forward to the next episode. Thanks team, thanks Gus! Warm regards from Middelburg, Netherlands
I'm thrilled to see the new Time Team find a way to link to the original Time Team. Gus and Natalie are deserving of continuing what Sir Tony started so long ago.
This proves it still works whilst modernising some elements but I was left wanting more. I guess that is where the patreon element steps in. Whereas with the TV show you could just wait till the next episode and almost forget what was left unanswered. Now if one so wishes they can stay connected and learn more over time. Its a great achievement pulling this off.
TT always only just scratches the surface. So frustrating that it's limited to 3 days. But so fascinating what can be found (and found out, summised, and speculated about) in that short time period. Thank you for coming back TT. Please stay.
Hope I get to see John Gaiter's car key for a pointer next series.
Thank you for bringing Time Team back. I enjoy the bond and excitement between new and original members. I also am enjoying the integration of new tech. Please continue this enjoyable work.
Hope we see many more new episodes.
Great to see this show back, hopefully it will inspire a new generation like it did me 25 years ago. Thanks all, original team and new folks!
Really enjoyed the first Dig - congratulations to the entire team for such a successful comeback!
Very happy with time team re boot. I watched the original runs years back and again on YT when I was recovering from a major op in 2019/20. The show help me pull through a low period. As this re boot would have.
Glad not too much change with the format and Gus is a 100% success, his easy going I want to learn style hit all the right notes.
Loved the new gadgets and only time will tell if the make for better results for the digs.
A great first episode that bodes well for all to come.
Anyone remember the original printer they used for the geophys? Have a cup-a while you wait for 1 page. We’ve come a long ways, baby✌️
Thanks from the bottom of my heart to everyone who dobated, everyone who worked on this and anyone else who deserves thanks. I can't begin to tell you how helpful and genuinely entertaining it is to see. Time Team is an eternal idea now. What an amazing thing you've all done. Imagine 200 seasons of time team being considered an audio visual archaeology encyclopedia. Wouldn't that be something.
It’s a new dawn, it’s a new day, it’s a new show…and it’s looking good!👍👏👏👏👏👏
I have watched every single Time Team from the very first. Never missed one, not even a Big Dig live segment. I came and had a chat and brought you some tessera and bits of pot from my garden when you were in the park opposite my house in Wigan looking for the roman road.. but you couldn't put a hole in my front garden.. there just wasn't room.
What can I say.. Success.. I love the 30 minutes over 3 days format.. Feels like a Big Dig weekend.
Congratulations. I will now be stuck in at the weekends for the premieres. Long may this continue. Unless I get back to my landscape investigations of the coal mining antiquities. Thanks Stuart.. you taught me how to look at old maps and then go look at the landscape.. which is a fantastic free hobby.
I like Natalie Haynes!
Wonderful, wonderful work Time Team! I love that you kept a bunch of the original graphics and sound design-this feels like a true continuation rather than a reboot. And using Victor's drawings was such a lovely things as well. (The addition of the timeline was helpful too! I have trouble keeping track of that kind of thing.)
