After watching dozens - maybe a hundred - episodes of Time Team, I've finally cracked the reason that the Romans left Britain. It wasn't the economy, nor the troublesome celts, nor the fall of the Roman Empire. It was the RAIN! Any fan of this show must have heard the phrase "the rain is tipping down" dozens of times.
We play a drinking game. You take a sip if they say villa, a swig if they say temple or bath house and you down and attempt a Karate kick when they say 'Round house!'
You're "one of my People"! Journalism, Sociology, and History Majors. Class of 1981 Univesity of Memphis ...and I research and still take classes, most recent Yale University. It was fabulous! "History of the New Testament era" best Professor Emeritus ever! Best Wellbeing ...
An episode that is the epitome of what makes this series so great! A bunch of archeologist mates who love nothing more than exposing the past, joking with each other, and ending the day with good food and a pint. And they've invited us along. Fabulous stuff. "Brilliant!" as the Brits say. LL 🇨🇦
Well said-(from here in Ottawa Canada.) What I would give to live in a place where digging into the smallest garden/lawn will often result in finds of something or other that's older then that time we set fire to the White House in DC.. These days we can watch Americans do it themselves. And I'm just watching it with my heart singing "burn baby burn". ...but back to time team- I have been binge watching episodes for months!
@@CaravelKiwi "We don't sit on the archaeology." "Ooohh, sorry, sorry, sorry!" Oddie had to learn to hunker.You have to develop your hunkering skills before you can start to wield a trowel.
I live in the USA and we don't have anything like this series. I absolutely 💖 this show! I wouldn't even mind rewatching them, but so far I haven't had to! I only wish I'd have found it sooner ❣
Sure we do...we have all sorts of shows with paid lifetime actors wearing an earpiece and being told by someone off camera what to say/ask/do and acting like they know what they are doing or talking about when they really have no clue
As a teenager, I had a huge pull toward studying archeology. It was fascinating. As a TT fan, I see you go at those fields with shovels and my back hurts just watching, which makes me wonder if I would have held up to the task had I chosen that career. Still, here I am, eh? Thanks, all.
You described me to a “T”. I have always loved archeology, wanted to be an archeologist and now have a bad back. I love this team and show. Not use to the new team. It doesn’t have the excitement that is produced by this team.
I always wanted to be an archaeologist ever since I was a little girl digging up arrowheads and Indian beads. I'm a boomer and I still want to dig in the dirt for treasures, as well as know enough to get in arguments with colleagues as to where exactly we should dig!
Was watching Raiders of the Lost Ark last night and this site was mentioned in one of the university lectures. Thanks to TT I had already seen the 2 C4 digs here so knew a little bit about it already. Reality meets fantasy. Still a good film after all the years gone by.
LOVING THIS. Keep it up, I beg you. I can now keep up with the right order of releases. Please don't think that specials and all things time team aren't relevant. These episodes are nowhere to be found in HD. I sincerely thank you, from Denmark. PS. I watch them all
I'm totally addicted to this ... I watch it even double or triple while crocheting. And I'm totally invested in their findings. I'm so excited when they find their date able little pieces of potteries or coins.
Maybe I missed an explanation of this in the actual episode, but who was he and why was he even allowed to "help" with the excavation in the first place?
@Kazy Reed - To be honest, I like Time Team IN SPITE of Tony, not because of him. With someone more knowledgeable and less goofy, the show would have been much improved.
I have to say I grew kinda fond of Bill throughout this episode, he seems genuinely keen to learn. Even when he makes mistakes he takes it in, he seems like an anxious person but he seems to really try, I found his fumbling nature a bit indearing and I chucked often watching him. Not sure Paul loved his fumbling but I thought he handled teaching him well 😊 I am fairly sure I have made a comment on this video before but I can't find it now :(
I have been watching and rewatching TT for months now. This episode, or episodes if you watch the live programs, along with the later return episode are easily in my Top 5 of the series. I miss Stewart not being here, but he shows his skills and becomes a lead protagonist in the return episode.
@@Spartan265 Thank you. Is it this one? th-cam.com/video/mInuesqb6e4/w-d-xo.html "Back To Turkdean: Revisiting One Of Britain's Largest Roman Sites | Time Team"
I follow up online by searching the name of the dig. Eg: Turkdean Roman Britian Archaeology. Most of the digs have furthur updated info online from local societies or universities. Its fascinating.
How many of y'all accidentally read Turkdean as "turducken" (turkey, duck, and chicken)? On a serious note, I love this show and am thrilled to hear that it's being brought back. Sure, It's not the same team but hopefully they'll have time to develop chemistry and bring life to places many of us around the world will never get to see in real life.
Les Rose from Western Australia here. It is so nice to see Bill Odey in this dig. I'm sorry for stuffing up his name. I just think he's one of the funniest men and he is so great at his at his craft.
Great stuff! I'm soooooo envious of the UK having ancient archaeology like this! Here in New Zealand, you do a dig like this and at the most you'll find a few chicken bones or beer bottles. Not quite the same...... :(
I often wonder if thousands of years from now a bunch of archeologists were to find the fossilized "remains" of a bucket of KFC chicken wings. What kind of creatures would they think we had running around. Or should I say "flying" around! 🤭LL
Thank you for uploading. While this episode is incredible, it was also interesting to read that Tony rated this one of the most incredible moments of his life. I think that says enough. Thanks again.
7:15 - 8:00: The difference between British TV and American TV in a nutshell. An American production team would have simply shat themselves upon seeing that hair.
This episode lets us know how versatile the scripts were for TT, instead of it 'bucketing down', that have used 'tipping it down' in this one..................................Keep on mixing it up guys!!!!
Until now I've seen 80+ episodes mixed out of all seasons. But this episode is so what of a teacher within it's first 4 minutes! Absolutly incredible. Thx a lot for letting me watch it for free! .. Oh, and it's really funny to see the years.. the time.. team ✌😌
I keep forgetting about Tony's epic turn as Baldrick in Blackadder. Then, in this episode, who should turn up but Bill Oddie, one third of the inimitable Goodies. Both legends of British comedy. I'd watch a show with the two of them swapping stories.
I simply have no idea why the pewter bowl mold didn't have registration marks and the pouring spout at the foot. I'm sure that old-time mold-makers would have done that, and it would have made the pour about a thousand times easier. This series is my new favorite thing on TH-cam. 🙂 So happy to have found it!
Now this was really interesting! So many great finds. I hope within my lifetime I will find out what this site is, villa or palace. Thank you so much for the great entertainment. ♥♥♥
I love the Erwin Street Gaurd (If that is the proper spelling. My English at times is poor). The Gaurd is a fantastic visualization addition. Thank you For posting
Roman garum...AKA rotted fish sauce which, was probably the reason for gladiatorial combat! They had to have someway to work out their aggression from being forced to eat garum.
@R. Blakehole - Garum was used in the whole of Roman society, not just among gladiators. It had the ubiquity that ketchup does today in the USA and salsa does in Hispanic dishes. Besides, one person's "rotted" is another person's "aged".
Lacking in refrigeration, they probably needed stronger flavors to cover the gaminess of meat that was not ideally fresh. Also, garum, being fermented, may have contributed in a really positive way to gut health! And read the label on Lea and Perrins’ Worcestershire sauce: it includes anchovies. I would guess authentic garum may have been the ancestor of “Woostershire” sauce!
I'm from Western Kentucky Indian country I have found arrowheads and small things like. We don't have the things like England and Europe has got I would love to be on some of those sites with them folks love this show
@10:23, thanks for not jumping out of the Helicopter without a parachute. I understand the mind blowing nature of that view. Vesuvius Crater by EB3, low pass was cool. Thats a Sub. I recently made a gigantic discovery here on my property..., 68 foot Crocodiles, Alligators, Caiman, Turtles all Ice Age. Stone age tools in neighboring counties in Ohio, U S A
There could be restaurants, like in England and Italy, that specialise in ancient Roman foods. It could include foods from ancient Egypt, ancient Greece, and ancient Mesopotamian nations. That is if there aren't already such restaurants.
My sister married a Filipino and they use a salty fermented fish sauce as well. Smells terrible but tastes great on any rice dish.. which is everything.
What an episode! Epic:) the only thing missing, was a bit of focus on the feast meal. I'd love to have found out what they cooked. Fried field mouse anyone?
What is great about this one is that it wasn't plowed to bits for centuries. It seems to have gone right to pasture after the walls were taken for use elsewhere.
Fantastic episode. I've seen it a couple of times, but just noticed at 24:52 a digger with word 'eläin' on his cap. 'eläin' (Finnish) = 'animal' (English), never heard of that brand...
Oh no.. I ended up watching the "Back to Turkdean: Revisiting One of Britain's Largest Roman Sites" episode before this, where they go BACK to this site and dig again. If you want some continuity, maybe you should watch that episode directly after this one!
It's one if my favorite parts! "LOOK!...LOOK over there .... LOOK! Parch marks THERE. MORE OVER THERE, LOOK!" SO excited! Like a kid in a candy store and he just discovered the stock room.
That Phil is a cutie. He could be an extra on LOTR, lol. But no, just no, on the daisy duke shorts, no matter how nice his legs are. That being said, I am loving this show. It is so interesting and just seeing how excited they get over a piece of pottery is awesome. Love seeing people so invested in learning history, not matter what it is.
Well, first comment in about 1 year, and it's actually a question. Of the dozens of episodes I've watched, quite often the archeology that is close to the surface has been ruined or roughed up by plowing !!!! Have these pastures only been used for sheep grazing since Roman times ???? WOW, who needs geophys, John ????? (just joking!)
How did Mr. Bill Oddie get to be a guest? Going by Tony's voice introducing him (about 10:53), not all that welcome. A VERY enthusiastic amateur, must have been his very first time on a site.
I think he was one of the writers for Time Team from the production crew. Perhaps he was excited by working on the show but had never actually been on site before. Would explain why they had to tolerate him even if they didn’t necessarily want him working on the dig. Who knows?
The guy was perhaps on the spectrum. He seemed to fail grasping what he was seeing and then having to repeat. He had to be shown how to use a trowel rather than witnessing it in use, in addition yanking that pot out of the ground when everyone around him was acting with finesse around artifacts. He also almost trampled what him and Phil had just dug. He had a few mannerisms that I would consider on the spectrum
I still think Carenza got the short end of it. At least they would’ve had an updated scale of the area with her point of interest and would’ve saved them time later on.
What would REALLY be great is if they actually WENT to America and do what they do so wonderfully. "Time Team: the Next Generation" Make it so. 😉 🇨🇦 LL
I was about to ask who this green windbreaker special guest people in comments were upset with and then Bill showed.... Bless Phil for having the patience of a Saint in taking this Bill as an apprentice... Although, I did get a chuckle with how he treated Phil giving him his trowel as a gift from the archeological gods.... cute, but kinda creepy, too lol Edit: Oh lawd.... when Bill pulled out the pottery... 🤦♀️ I have watched enough documentaries as a child to now to know that could have been disastrous.
When I dig in my garden near Boston USA, I find the broken glass, rusty nails and assorted metal that my former neighbor threw over his fence before my house was built. No indian arrowheads, no nothin.'
Wouldn't it be amazing if they would build the same villa completely new somewhere near the findings and make the whole site into a roman museum? Or an adventure restaurant where people can dress up as Romans and eat as Romans inside? Or maybe even add a public roman bath to it ( even though this site didn't have it), but with all the rain in the UK 😅 it wouldn't be a bad idea to add a steam bath. Or add a market for the tourist with tiles and stone ware and street food in roman style like they had it in Pompeji.
I honestly don’t think bill knows what he’s sitting on, breaking, and handling with complete disregard... are irreplaceable historical artifacts that survived centuries just to encounter Bill for a few seconds and be completely trashed
Well, he IS a comedian - and I'll lay odds that his entire time on screen was thoroughly scripted and that the (replica?) potsherds were placed in the dig for him to knock about.
...which leads me to this further thought: Time Team was/likely still is absolutely loathed by many 'serious' archeologists - the posh, up-their-own-arse sort who think that if you make it 'accessible' you make it 'contemptible' - and what better way to wind them up/take the piss out of them than by introducing a shambolic music-hall comedian who literally stumbles through the dig? Genius!
After watching dozens - maybe a hundred - episodes of Time Team, I've finally cracked the reason that the Romans left Britain. It wasn't the economy, nor the troublesome celts, nor the fall of the Roman Empire. It was the RAIN! Any fan of this show must have heard the phrase "the rain is tipping down" dozens of times.
Yes those roman soldiers definitely got the least pleasant assignment, weather-wise.
This is now the true history for me about why the romans left. The rain.
Read asterix much?

Mick got so excited while in the helicopter I thought he might jump out
I was worrying about that also.
This episode could have easily lasted 12 hours more, really. Guys were in such high spirits!
10:30 Mick is so excited if he wasn't belted in he might have fallen out of the chopper.
I was getting really uncomfortable at that scene. Something about how it's shot makes it look like they are not at all secure in there.
That is exactly what I just thought! Lol

He had to be shown how to use a trowel rather than witnessing it in use, in addition yanking that pot out of the ground when everyone around him was acting with finesse around artifacts. He also almost trampled what him and Phil had just dug. He had a few mannerisms that I would consider on the spectrum
What I would like to see is a COMPLETE map of all the sites that have been found.
I still think Carenza got the short end of it. At least they would’ve had an updated scale of the area with her point of interest and would’ve saved them time later on.
Combovers just don't work in the wind.
They're so young and fit!
Nice sandals, Tony!
can't wait for the live show! lmao
I wish Time Team would put more episodes out on DVD for USA.
What would REALLY be great is if they actually WENT to America and do what they do so wonderfully. "Time Team: the Next Generation" Make it so. 😉 🇨🇦 LL
lunalouhoo It’s on Amazon Prime, at least in Canada.
Laura-Lee Rahn There was a Time Team America series.
I showed this to my niece, she told me " i don't remember that villa in AC Valhalla"
I was about to ask who this green windbreaker special guest people in comments were upset with and then Bill showed....
Bless Phil for having the patience of a Saint in taking this Bill as an apprentice...
Although, I did get a chuckle with how he treated Phil giving him his trowel as a gift from the archeological gods.... cute, but kinda creepy, too lol
Edit: Oh lawd.... when Bill pulled out the pottery... 🤦♀️ I have watched enough documentaries as a child to now to know that could have been disastrous.
When I dig in my garden near Boston USA, I find the broken glass, rusty nails and assorted metal that my former neighbor threw over his fence before my house was built. No indian arrowheads, no nothin.'
I wonder if the building complex goes all the way down to the river and docks.
Wouldn't it be amazing if they would build the same villa completely new somewhere near the findings and make the whole site into a roman museum? Or an adventure restaurant where people can dress up as Romans and eat as Romans inside? Or maybe even add a public roman bath to it ( even though this site didn't have it), but with all the rain in the UK 😅 it wouldn't be a bad idea to add a steam bath. Or add a market for the tourist with tiles and stone ware and street food in roman style like they had it in Pompeji.
Lovin your ear stud Toni. You're the man!!! 🤩

Thanks Jontron I keep reading this as Turducken...
Would be great if ? a Sound Track CD ( Music ) of Time Team was available.
Tony got hair this must be a old Time Team
Mick has a bit more than we were used to see and Phill is a bit more ginger.
Yup, the good old days.
was Stewart influenced by the Manchester scene. when it comes to the landscape. he's my fav
I honestly don’t think bill knows what he’s sitting on, breaking, and handling with complete disregard... are irreplaceable historical artifacts that survived centuries just to encounter Bill for a few seconds and be completely trashed
Well, he IS a comedian - and I'll lay odds that his entire time on screen was thoroughly scripted and that the (replica?) potsherds were placed in the dig for him to knock about.
...which leads me to this further thought: Time Team was/likely still is absolutely loathed by many 'serious' archeologists - the posh, up-their-own-arse sort who think that if you make it 'accessible' you make it 'contemptible' - and what better way to wind them up/take the piss out of them than by introducing a shambolic music-hall comedian who literally stumbles through the dig?
Genius!
@@robertmacdonaldbespokekilt3063 - Rather, pathetic.
Black Adder would be proud of you Tony
