I discovered Time Team during my recovery from spine surgery. I would be in my hospital room and watch it for hours on my phone. This has gotten me through some really rough times. Thank you.
You are so right. The crew are getting me though some rough times right now.
The combination of their passion for learning and their shared friendship with each other together create a safe, comfortable and mentally stimulating place to go to when the world and its pain is just too much. Find the Time Team episode called "The Warriors." What we have found has worked with injured service men coming back from the Middle East as well. We are in good company..
@@elizabethschaeffer9543 I am, and have been, in much the same situation and I’m so happy I found this show. I’ll check out the Warriors next! My disability comes from being wounded in Iraq, so maybe that episode will do me some good
@@elizabethschaeffer9543 wwdwwwxxwwwwfhjvjv😅
Hope you're doing well Kim. God bless the recovery.
Well said! I have just discovered this in the last year and I feel the same. 💚
Rector Burke seems like a fantastic steward of the site; Knowledgeable, humble, a polyglot, an avid historian, and an all round charming fellow. I'm not religious myself, but it warms the cockles of my heart to know there are people like Rector Burke caring for and tending to the flock of the faithful :)
I agree! Seems like a really decent bloke.👍🏻🌈☮️🇨🇦
He also looks like quite the archiologist with his field bag, jerkin, and manky hat.
And it says something about his integrity to be willing to put to scientific test his personal, pastoral belief about the existence of the praetorium on the site.
He's a wonderful man. I grew up in Castor and attended the church as a child.
So many quotable moments from this classic crew! I've been racing through these old episodes as I struggle to still my mind for sleep. It's so engaging but also relaxing!
If you want to see "the Collin Firth of archaeology" again, support Time Team! 😉
This is a brilliant episode, Phil, Mick, Helen, John, Ian the digger, Racksha, Jimmy, Henry, Jackie, Stewart, Matt .. even Paul Blinkhorn ...vintage Time Team!
Love Stewart and Matt’s attempt at historical recreation! Learning is done that way too! (Matt was always such a good sport. It is wonderful to know he has continued on and is still a known professional Archeologist!’
I used a surveyor's chain just like Matt's when I worked for the local County Surveyor's Department.
@@saxon-mt5by When I was writing my novel (still work in progress) I had to use old English measurements for distance. Yards and down, furlongs and up, were familiar to me but I had to research the proper length of a chain - 22 yards with 100 links. Unsurprisingly it's the length of a cricket pitch.
It’s incredible how much history still lives under our feet .What I like the most is that you show what the building would have looked like in its day.And when you think of how primitive the tools were and no diggers or power tools .These Romans did some pretty amazing buildings,aqueducts,roads etc. Then after they left we went back to living in wooden huts with one main room and it makes you think the people must have been silly after seeing amazing structures then to wood huts ..Even the castles were not much better as at first for a long time they had no windows just covering.Yet the Romans had underfloor heating .Quite funny really .This was a great dig.The steps and the floor was a really great find .Well done everyone 🥰
The sheer scale of the Roman construction projects just continuously boggles my mind! 😮 Looking at those fragments of wall embedded in the older churchyard boundary there, for example - they're huge! The robbing of old Roman & Romano-British sites for already-quarried stone has made archaeologists' lives so much more difficult, but I guess one cannot blame the locals of the time for recycling such excellently-cut stone? I'm always surprised that they didn't also seem to relocate any of the incredible mosaic art 🤔 (Apparently leaving most of it to be ploughed up, or uplifted by 19C antiquarians....?)
Every episodes of Time Team are a delight to watch and watch again, but the ones featuring Helen are especially dear to me.
Helen's comment about her hat at the end is adorable. What a lovely lady she is.
@@Wally-H Being half Hebr. no need for extravagant building, yet it’s
the hat and what’s beneath it that counts in a yard like this one.
She's lovely. So posh, prim and proper - she would think I am utter scum.
Time Team got me through the lock downs. I did not care if I watched it twice or fifty times, it was always interesting and humorous and informative. I have seen some comments calling a "3 day dig" a travesty in archeology, but the truth is, it is a whole lot more better than doing "hit and miss" digs. So, I have my bag of popcorn and my flavored water, and I am going to re-enjoy this episode!! Cheers!
The people complaining are just jealous that they were not invited
Right!
Right there with you!
People He are doing Digs are best of best in archeology
Exactly! Intelligent programs with a bit of fun, and the comraderie of the Team makes for a very pleasant hour.
Always like this episode. Edmund Artis was an amazing man for his time. He seems like one of those people who would have been fascinating to sit and chat with.
I agree. I'm also very happy that his surmises about the praetorium were verified! Well done!
I discovered TT during lockdown a in 2020 (I'm in Canada) and had never heard of it until then.
I ❤️ TT!! 👍
I love this show so much. So heady, so quirky and so fun. Especially when changing into period costumes....
After watching about a billion of these episodes I can’t help but think how clumsy people have been with their pots and pans throughout history.
I think of the number of broken glasses and coffee cups I’ve added as well as plates, bowls, etc.
It's more that they didn't move all their trash out of sight the way we do. As another comment said, if you could see the amount of broken glass and ceramics an average modern household produces over a hundred years it would be a different story, but nowadays it all goes to landfill or recycling.
@@mball831 And even that is fairly recent in a lot of places. Darn near every farm I've ever been on has an old rubbish heap and a building full of stuff that will be fixed "some day" or stripped for parts. Things get put in there for storage in case of a rainy day and forgotten about for years or decades. Really easy to see how something like that will become an archaeologist's treasure trove in a couple of hundred years.
If it weren't for plastics I would've had to clean up many messes at home and grocery store.
@@silmarian LOL "some day" Oh yes I've heard that a thousand times growing up on a working farm. A thick grove made a perfect storage area for "some day". Wildlife made homes in the old combines.
One of the best programmes on tv I seriously wish it would make a come back I absolutely love archaeology learning about the past
They have!

Look for 'Timeteamofficial'
Watching these randomly; enjoying them immensely. When Helen argued her point with Gphys, I was impressed. Rhetorical talent? You go girl!
I am so delighted to have found this channel. New subscriber from the US.
I watch Time Team EVERY SINGLE DAY! I do get tired of the Roman villas but even those are great. That show helps me relax and redirect my thoughts from the stress of the day. I never get tired of it.
God Bless Rector Burke! What a knowledgable fine fellow! What better Custodian could one want for such a beautiful church and important archaeological site! This is how a good TV show should be made! The very Gold Standard of Education & Entertainment! An Art Form that unfortunately has died out completely since these shows were made, except for the new, Viewer Supported digs that Time Team is conducting on TH-cam. I have long since pulled the plug on my TV, permanently. But these Classic and New Time Team Episodes have me come back for more!
Same with my TV it really is just full of garbage nowadays especially these reality rubbish I really can't stand them..
I agree completely. I love these wonderful shows where one can actually learn something. And I tell the kids of my Family, learn Languages. They're the key to a culture. Learn your Math, if for no other reason to do your taxes. And learn History. If we don't know where we come from, we won't know where to go. And learning History is a good way of avoiding making the same mistakes they made in the past. We owe our ancestors that…@@ORDEROFTHEKNIGHTSTEMPLAR13

Why don't you apply for amazon or Netflix, I'm sure they'd love this
They don’t want to be beholden to anyone.
Ces vidéos sont tout le temps passionnantes , je ne me lasse pas de les regarder et de les regarder à nouveau . Un vrai plaisir.
This show is truly legendary!!
Found Time Team after I had my eye surgery just a few weeks ago. I LOVE it and all the people, seems like going and visiting friends.
Fantastic episode as always!👍🏻 Omg I LOVE Phil Harding, kind of lad who looks like he'd be alot of fun to hang out with, probably great stories to share too!
💖🌈☮️🇨🇦
Thanks!
Glad they are back! I have been watching them for years & years. I love Time Team. Can't wait to binge on the newer episodes I had missed.
This was fantastic.. I peek at your site once and awhile but now I just have to subscribe because you have completely awaken the old archeologist in my again.. I used to be an avid studier of history especially the dark ages in England.. At 70 I just have had the interest I used to.. But you really bring the old excitement back.. do you do longer digs than three days? I could watch for hours.. I haven't been on a dig since the mid 90's. Mostly in the 70's and 80's though.. thanks guys you do a really hard job quickly.. Carry on!
Big thumbs up the the church for allowing this dig. I suspect that the vicar knows how to put his case very well. 👍👍👍
Classic Time Team is absolutely excellent.. they pulled together a bunch of quirky intellectuals who were magical together.. the show is so good, it’s NEVER boring or disinteresting.. the subject is endlessly interesting, regardless of what time period is your favorite.. it’s probably the only show that they could have filmed nonstop into perpetuity and the dedicated viewers would NEVER stop wanting another episode.. 🥰🥰🥰
I’ve watched and rewatched countless times, and still come back again.. the cast of characters is so brilliant, you really genuinely enjoy them, and celebrate the wins with them..
I’m glad they’re making new episodes ❤.. it’s not exactly like it was, but the subject matter is so central, the character changes aren’t enough to make it less engaging to watch.. it’s just, different..
but I have to say, it’s a big reality shift to see the regular faces as they are now, after having them frozen in time for so so many shows, then seeing that they’re actually “old” now is a jump! 😛.. John with a big beard, Stewart all gray, etc..
The show is just one of the BEST things ever produced, period. ❤
I get so involved in watching I don’t pay a lot of attention to chatting and forget to hit the 👍 so here I go over to do that, then again my undivided attention!
I agree time team is hypnotic I never knew the Romans were on England for 400 years. I've seen every episode and now gp to sleep to it.
Nor me and I'm English
Well, now, if that ain't Baldrick! 😉😁 His voice is so unique!
I'm really enjoying this one! ♥️ Thank you Time Team!
That was a great episode, such amazing finds! I'd want to dig and dig and dig!
Timeteam got me through my illness.
Thanks
Before I discovered this series, I had no need to use the word "hypocaust" or even knew it existed. I love this damn show.
It is a kinda evil sounding word 😂😂😂
If you want to know what its all about this time team project and why people love it, here's a good place to start!
Time team makes you proud to be British
Why??
Certain that Edmund Artis began sketching what he uncovered due to returning each morning to find the locals had helped themselves to the stone-work!
Maybe it made it easier less to draw each day 😊
I really liked the horrible histories episode where they talked about burial and said they'd throw things in to confuse future archaeologists.
Edmund Artis was mentioned on time team before. In the bedford purlieus wood episode
I enjoy watching you from Missouri USA.
When the camera changes to the lads at 15:20 and they're just watching poor Tracey haha
Tony to Tracy.. is that a pipe in your trench😂
Love, love, love this show!!!
Thank you.
I like the earlier series more than the later ones.
Good for you. Are you happy now ?
@@larryzigler6812 paul is not the only one. i know it is not fair to the - new - team. Special because there are many of this team still involved. But i suppose Tony Robinson or Professor Mick Aston, just to pick two, are one of a kind.
In your dreams.
Based on the title and thumbnail, this seems like a whimsical adventure program where two chipper (probably Brits) dig up graves in cemeteries for fun and education. I'm on board.
Got to love the Romans.... And Artis
Love the content. Keep up the good work. Thank you.
This channel has been new to me. (I was just channel surfing the internet and came acrossed you.) This is so interesting. I have had an interest in archeology since my teenage years.. And
believe me, that's along time ago. Anyway, keep up the searching and I'll keep up watching.
This show got cancelled years back sadly and replaced with REALITY TV drivel..
How fascinating 🤔
Just LOVE TIME TIME!!
great show...thanks
Did anyone else notice that the roads around the church and the site indicate an important site before Roman times?
No just you professor !!!!! THANKS !!!
Love this show, its so fascinating.
Bedankt
I live in America. I really wished we had tv shows like this that aren’t scripted or have blonde haired bimbos running around. This is really educational and keeps one intrigued in what happens next. We like watching people suffering here in America on tv. It’s all so strange how we are.
thank you 6-15-22
Thank you 22-15-6
Utterly fabulous.
Very interesting!!! //Lars
i love this guy. :) 🌷🌱
26:23 you can always date a time team's episode by the developing sweat stains on Phil's hat
Thank you.
Subscribed.
Helen!
UK tv is wonderful
Nah its full of garbage even worse now that they've cancelled this show it was an absolute travesty..
Great episode!
Well done Baldrick
What are u boys up to!! Sheesh.
Wonerful!
I love Phil. Sexy shorts and cute smile. Phil never married.
He and Tony are still alive. I read that Tony was a comedian on a funny British series so I watched them on UTUBE. So funny. Tony was in a movie with John Wayne in 2 scenes.
Tony is a legend in the Blackadder series together with Rowan Atkinson. The actual new series is not the same without Phil & “Baldric”. Smack the “like” & subscribe!!
@@foedspaghetti3290 Absolutely! Phil, Tony and some GOOD digging. What the Hell happened?! We don't want a slicked up Time Team with a fancy new bus and a geodesic tent! We want a down and dirty in the trenches Time Team. I'm watching old episodes for the I don't know how manieth time instead of the new ones. I watched the three instalments of the first new offering with hope but haven't gone any further. Ah, for the good old days.😥🤠
Phil had more game than Tarzan ever "unngowaud" over back in da' day!
@@chrisforrest9482 Phil is 72 Tony is 75. I expect they want to take things easier.
you might be one of the very few people who's first reaction to seeing Sir Tony is not 'Baldrick!'
After seeing Poltergeist, I'd be like, "You all go ahead and start digging up the graveyard and bones... I'm going home to throw away my TV."
So the Roman buildings must be where they got the herringbone brick design from the Tudor period! Cool!
“Functional as well as pretty… like my hat.” 😂
Thought that was well played myself 😊
Was I mistaken -I heard Peter at approx' 26:45 saying with over 20,000 burials in this churchyard ! ?
That's not that difficult for old European graveyards... We either stack them or remove individual burials and sort the bones in communal vaults after a few decades. Or we would've run out of space a few centuriea ago...
Bodies over bodies..
Excuse me sir, do you dig graves ?
Yeah, they're alright !
THE BLOOMING BLOKES THEY ALL SOUND SO SERIOUS VERY INTERESTING 🤔
Wish they’d uncover a shipbuilding yard; we need the examples in this age of ubiquitous electricity and worry about fuel for transport ( on a small scale ). Maybe in Yarrow, Newcastle, Sunderland, Berwick, Wales, or Appledore as David R. MacGregor. made possible in history architectural drawings of his Book.
as a Certified Minister,I hope they marked that grave of 5 human ancestors as a mark of respect though we will never know who they were
21:05 i see what you did there Tony
17:01 what an idyllic picture with the rainbow over the church.
I honestly don't understand why these very solid and beautiful buildings would have ever been destroyed. when so many other medieval buildings are still in use today, over there.
Hallo aus Deutschland an dich ,der sondler aus dem hűrtgenwald Aachen
the lovely Faye...
If I remember my high school Latin correctly, a pretorium was like a court house, seat of gov't, offices, maybe fancy residences of officials like they said...
It never seems to be sunny in this country, that's depressing.
Don't come to the Pacific North West USA then beautiful but be prepared to be depressed for months 😊
Baldriiiiiiick! ❤️❤️❤️
Is that how it's done, a building is found and then is covered with a massive amount of earth and then something is built over the top of it?
Helen hasn't changed and remains a crush... sigh...
As I sit here eating my roast beef and Swiss on rye it occurs to me id rather have ham instead.
Ah, Helen, my love!
Surely a Praetor was a local governor - the representative of the state in a particular area or province.
21:08 nice shot
Funny how no one mentioned that the trench at 36:08 looks like a plague pit mass burial....
They actually do. It's a charnel pit, where bones were deposited to make way for more burials.
It’s just my opinion but this is so much better than the new version.
QUESTION... TIME TEAM. I WISH OR HAVE YOU EVER DUG INTO OR NEAR OR AROUND ANY BOGGS..????...
A question 🤔 from the US are you talking about digging a swamped area or a cesspool?
21:18 what are those black trees? they look beautiful
Need to laser map the area from above.
This is from 2007
so big was Hadrian involved, is it as big or any relation to Vindalanda fort and village on the Hadrians wall?
Yes but No..
How long can I be buried in peace before I have to be concerned about some archeologist being allowed to disturb my resting place?
Don't think they'll be digging our bones with the technology we've got which will only get better..
Question: as kids many decades ago, we sang a song: We Are Marching to Pretoria. Could this be the same “Pretoria” that you mention, meaning “tall building”?
Boris Karloff plays as ‘Dr. Preatorius’ in a horror movie ? Hope those aren’t a few of his victims on the floor.
I think that song referred to Pretoria, South Africa. Could be wrong…
For 20 years, I have been a historically "man of company history" and sometime historically helping the battalion with history. I do know something about the word "Pretoria" and it involves those "Officers" that were from the (born) in the occupied country that they are from. It wasn't really a larger part of the officer numbers, (about 5% of the Roman Corps, but just enough to fill in the ranks. Being a man of the Pretoria ranks, they were given a slice of land, (and a amount of a handsome money's retirement) back in the Empirical Roman Empire Army.
Although the Pretoria Guard were always aloud access to the Caesars Property, or in this case, the bath houses, they could find refuge, even if he only wanted to take a bath, or access to a Empire Commissary.
Fast forward to the dates where the Romans left England, or other Imperial Territories, they could live back to Rome, or choose other lands still under Roman hold.
But if you chose to live in a place that one battled against, (let's just say for instance Butica's homeland, therefore not very safe, because his face was literally carved in a native's revenge.
Trouble times for Pretoria officer trying to leave on a Roman ship, he had to all have his paper work together, with stamps and signature. Oddly enough, only about 3% of the 5% had their orders set, to get on the ships.
But what about the disarticulated bones?
At the 45:46 mark, that roof needs some serious work done on it.
