I'm an American, and an evolutionary biologist and paleontologist (now retired), but I worked for several years for an Archaeology Survey Service here in New England. I also spent some years in mathematics and astrophysics. I've been bingeing on this entire series for quite some time, and while I admire everyone on the Time Team, I've become especially impressed, over time, with Stewart and his astonishing powers of deduction. John Gater is my second favorite.
A Sociologist, Journalist, and Historian here, located in NW Tennessee, and I am always thrilled with Stewart's Landcape Archaeology + I love Maps! I'm not that taken with Anglo Saxon Archaeology (they weren't nice to my People, "lineage of County Kerry, Ireland), but I also adore Helen, whom is feature in many of the Time Team later Episodes. It's an all together great Team and each offering such fabulous Personalities and Professional Talents.
I feel so sad when I hear an historical building was demolished because “it became too old and rickety to maintain.” For a society that built so many buildings over millennia, it seems so few have been preserved (most are robbed out for reuse it seems). I am grateful our thinking has changed and now we look to preserve our physical history rather than plow it over. I am heartened by Time Team finding the remnants of these once ancient and magnificent buildings at least. Thank you Time Team for bringing us this amazing look into our history!
Taking building material from older, unused buildings was pretty much the norm for thousands of years. As is to add on to old buildings and remodel them to changed fashion and demand. It's a pretty recent idea to preserve things in the original state.
London has destroyed absolutely incredible buildings in the last 20 years only to replace them the ugliest examples of architecture on the planet. I didn’t even recognize the city the last time I was there about 5 years ago. Thankfully the UK protects as many great homes in the country as possible.
This DAR (Daughter of the American Revolution) finds all history of the time period fascinating, regardless of location! And Tony Robinson just makes for an enjoyable and engaging narrator!
I just found this channel this morning and I am so captivated by it. I am finding that I love this kind of stuff more in my middle age. I am hooked line and sinker.
As a glass maker I was tickled to see the stem. Modern replicas of those gasses are made exactly the same way today as they were then. That is an exceptionally meaningful find for me. The drinking glasses of the period that survive today command very high prices among collectors.

My first episode of Time Team. High energy, entertaining hunt by a team of historians and archeologists who dig through documents and gardens like a gang of historical Sherlock Holmes'. Lots of good-natured jibing and teasing amongst mates as they devoutly seek out the truth from the past. Happy to recommend this series and channel of which I am a new subscriber. ☺🙋♀️ 🇨🇦 LL

A fascinating episode. One issue though: It's highly doubtful that the king or any member of high status would have used the privy room. They would have done their business in their chambers behind a screen, in chamber pots, possibly with a privy chair, and the servants would have emptied them.
I discovered this during the c19-crisis and watch very often. Very interesting and entertaining. Love the way the story is told, the beautiful drawings, the historical crafts like the glasswork in this episode. And I really like the characters of the team. It always brings a smile on my face, even in these troubled times. Thank you very much and kind regards from the Netherlands.
Is this a new channel because I thought I was already subscribed to a Time Team channel and was careful to 'like' every episode so I could keep track. All these, which I've already seen, are coming up without my 'like'. What's up?
Some sites have been revisited; all of them still have stories to tell. What made Time Team really special in this aspect is that each episode's work was thoroughly documented in a professional archaeological report. If future researchers want to pick up where Time Team left off, they should be able to do so with a high degree of precision.
@@cameleonfleuri Contrarianism is out of fashion, mate. No one thinks you're smart for saying that. Our own eyes and ears prove that nothing they're doing on Time Team is below board.
I wish there was a modern version of time team..can imagine what they can show with all the newest technology and the use of current 3D programs to re create renderings. It would be amazing!
I'm planning to move to my ancestral lands in Scotland in several years. It's quite a process but it IS possible. Just google it for the country you want to move to :)
There is something called a "grandparent entry certificate ". Or rather,the terminology has changed since the 70s,but the idea is more or less the same. Homework like birth and marriage certificates will be needed,but it is statute policy. There was a trip to Croydon I had to do when I was there to present the documents,the fees were reasonable,and there will be written policy available as public record. Whether that applies to your personal circumstances is something you can find out. Contact the UK consulate in your jurisdiction and ask ,there will be electronic information as well.
Have only been enjoying your Time Team episodes for the couple of years!!! They are all wonderful! I am hooked! I was wondering if Tony had a background in archeology or is he like a sponge and has absorbed all his knowledge for earlier episodes!!!
He's most famous as an actor and a presenter. He was Baldrick in Blackadder in the 1980s. He's not a professional archeologist, but he's gathered an incredible collection of knowledge over his lifetime.
I think he met Mick Aston while taking a course on archaeology (assuming because he was interested in the subject), and when Mick was putting together the show, he suggested Tony be presenter. So Tony has more knowledge than he pretends, but isn't quite the professional. He's just very good at playing "the uninformed/critical viewer" without sounding condescending or fake.

I would have recommended Jonathan Foule, as Host for the "New Time Team". The gentleman they chose is a fabulous Host, but following Tony in that role, the Viewers were so accustomed to the concentrated energy of his pace, the Narrative he did, and the manner of Editing, the latter 2 points are the Program's feel, its Style. Key to the Success of the New Show rests on this value and its inspiring draw. Again, I really like the new Host, but feel his natural gifts are far better suited for Higher Arts Productions.

26:45. The coin is bent into an s shape. That's a love token. A guy would give a girl a coin he bent like that and if she was into seeing him she would give it back later. Looks like that one ended up tossed in the ditch....
A comment and a question: I don't know when this was shot, but it must be quite old. I was at Kew at least 8 years ago, and the kitchen house was completely and immaculately restored - well worth seeing. The staff told us the "Dutch" house was the palace, and never mentioned the White House Palace - I don't think they knew about it. Am wondering if anyone knows if the White House in Washington D.C. is named after this palace? The American one has the same appearance in architectural style and also color. George lll was King during American Revolution. The American White House would've been built during the time that George lll was still living there. Surely this wasn't a coincidence? Does anyone know?
I'm 3 minutes in and when they showed the sketch of the palace, my first thought was of The White House. But it wasn't until 1901 (?) that President Roosevelt officially named the US "Presidential Palace", The White House. It would be interesting to dig into that more!
In addition to NCmonkeygirl, the White House wasn't white until after it was burned by the British in the war of 1812. It was painted white to hide the smoke damage. It was originally a pink marble.
Jonathon was quite the well studied Architectural Expert and ... he was (likely still is) "Easy on the Eyes" aka "a Hottie", a casual reference as said among "the girls", here in the USA. 😁 🇺🇲 ☘️ ☘️ = Irish 🇺🇲 is obvious
So this one is about mad king Gorge the III, the King who lost the empire. As an American, I am glad he did, we would never have gotten the internet so I could watch Time Team on TH-cam. xD

The gentleman they chose is a fabulous Host, but following Tony in that role, the Viewers were so accustomed to the concentrated energy of his pace, the Narrative he did, and the manner of Editing, the latter 2 points are the Program's feel, its Style.
Key to the Success of the New Show rests on this value and its inspiring draw.
Again, I really like the new Host, but feel his natural gifts are far better suited for Higher Arts Productions.
Respectfully offered, Jonathon is the Obvious Key to the "New Time Team's" success.

26:45. The coin is bent into an s shape. That's a love token. A guy would give a girl a coin he bent like that and if she was into seeing him she would give it back later. Looks like that one ended up tossed in the ditch....
The weird shape coin is a love token😊
Was here October 2020
A comment and a question: I don't know when this was shot, but it must be quite old. I was at Kew at least 8 years ago, and the kitchen house was completely and immaculately restored - well worth seeing. The staff told us the "Dutch" house was the palace, and never mentioned the White House Palace - I don't think they knew about it.
Am wondering if anyone knows if the White House in Washington D.C. is named after this palace? The American one has the same appearance in architectural style and also color. George lll was King during American Revolution. The American White House would've been built during the time that George lll was still living there. Surely this wasn't a coincidence? Does anyone know?
I'm 3 minutes in and when they showed the sketch of the palace, my first thought was of The White House. But it wasn't until 1901 (?) that President Roosevelt officially named the US "Presidential Palace", The White House. It would be interesting to dig into that more!
In addition to NCmonkeygirl, the White House wasn't white until after it was burned by the British in the war of 1812. It was painted white to hide the smoke damage. It was originally a pink marble.
@@Joeybagofdonuts76 100 % correct. It was so named by Dolly Madison when it was white washed.
I still want to have a pint of bitters with Phil...ok, perhaps several pints of ESB...
I also would enjoy a conversation with Phil. Virginia in Ohio
Jonathon was quite the well studied Architectural Expert and ... he was (likely still is) "Easy on the Eyes" aka "a Hottie", a casual reference as said among "the girls", here in the USA.

First aired March 2, 2003.
Not to be confused with Kew Gardens, Queens, which isn't quite as historical...
GEORGE THE THIRD SOUNDED LIKE A WONDERFUL BLOKE INNIT...UNTIL HE GONE MAD LOL
Is this series currently airing or is it old?
It ended several years ago. :( They started in 1994 I think and went for 20 years)
Lots of episodes to watch on at least three other channels. Virginia
@@imbwildrd3693 i thought so cause it looks from the 90s but thanks for info
So this one is about mad king Gorge the III, the King who lost the empire. As an American, I am glad he did, we would never have gotten the internet so I could watch Time Team on TH-cam. xD
The privy would have been a good place to dig. You'd be surprised the treasures that can be found there.
Jonathon Foyle, the natural Host for New Time Team. He would be perfect.
I recognize that garden. 🤔 felix and marzia married there.😅
