I was lucky enough to take part in this dig as part of the Community digging team and have been looking forward to this so much. It certainly did not disappoint and I cannot wait to see the second part tomorrow. (A big hello to all the other community diggers, the team from Whittingham castle and all the Time Team crew who made everyone feel so valued and welcome!)
@@tankgirl2074 love the screen name 😁 I'm determined to be part of a dig one of these days. I don't even hold any illusions about it -- I'd be happy even if the only thing I discovered was a terrible sunburn on the back of my neck 😅
I wonder where he initially got it from. If he came up with it himself one day, or perhaps it was something he heard when he was still a student, maybe the way some random person described a site to him... there are a thousand ways. Regardless, it is a perfect simple to understand description. (I have watched the entire series 4 or 5 times and certain episodes a lot more than that, but I cannot for the life of me remember if anyone ever said anything about where they got that term from originally)
@@jesterboykins2899 You know, even if all you have proven is that you were wrong or that there is in fact nothing under that bump, you have still proven something.
Watching with great delight, but I can't help but wonder how much Mick would have enjoyed digging a new monastic site. He'll be forever missed, him and his stripy jumpers.
Thanks for airing this free. It's wonderful so far. It's good to see how all the production team and presenters have really settled into the new series.
I’m an American but I love “Time Team” it’s so cool to see the history of my ancestors that we aren’t taught In school as children. One day I plan on visiting the UK and I really can’t wait!
Love hearing Stewart and Carenza talking about inspiring the next generation of archeologists as if they hadn't been an integral part of inspiring the current generation of archeologists. ❤
So glad you let Matt have a bigger role, letting him be at the beginnings meeting at the vehicle. He's deserved a more bigger role. He has the history, etc. Couldn't wait for the new episode! Love you guys!
Yes I felt the same way! I am a hyperemotional person, so I totally choked up seeing Matt standing at the hood of the SUV saying, essentially, let’s get digging, just the way Phil used to. 🥲 Matt earned that spot, and it’s great to see him there.
Why would a black man be interested in white European history? I’m surprised he wouldn’t want to create a show in Africa about African archaeology. Why not?
I know what you mean but I just want to add that Matt is at this point in his career an established archaeologist in his own right. He's had a long and fruitful career since his early days on the series. It feels like a little bit of a slight to say they 'let' him do anything, when at this stage of his career, he was likely asked.
Delighted to see Richard K Morris back for this dig. His knowledgeable views and explanations are as sharp and interesting as in earlier episodes and add a perspective we perhaps didn’t get in those earlier new episodes. Thank you Richard for making the effort despite your mobility struggle! Looking forward to episode 2 tomorrow.
Ohhh the things in Stewart's brain. ENDLESSLY FASCINATING. Could I just please sit at a dinner table with him and hear all of that knowledge tumble out. Just so interesting. Great episode. Thank you, take care.
My Dad was a huge Time Team fan and he recently passed from Cancer. It's been very hard, watching these new episodes. Mom has continued donating to Time Team on Patreon in his name. Keep doing what you guys are doing, it means a lot to my entire family. To lighten the mood when Mom and I were watching these new Time Team episodes, I started joking about how Phil and Tony should just show up, yell at people, then leave with absolutely no explanation. If you could make that happen, it would make my Mom smile. She doesn't smile a lot these days.
It's such a silly little thing, but I really loved having Stewart say the immortal "and only three days ..." line ❤ I'm loving this new Time Team revival. Last year's episodes were a joy, if a little unsure of it's old/new balance, but if this ep is anything to go by then this year's episodes are a confident leap in a great direction!
Rebekah, While it is great that the immortal "and we've only got three days..." lives on, and it's great that Stewart was the one who said it... but it's not Tony. The same way that it's not Mick asking questions about the findings. Many of the questions that he asked, he already knew the answers to; but people learn, and retain, more when they figure the answer out on their own, as opposed to being told (and Mick knew that). Tony was the voice of the people. He became so beloved because he asked the questions that we (the people watching) would have asked. He was the member of Time Team that was us, the novices. We became a part of Time Team (vicariously) through Tony. The new Time Team is just as fantastic as the original; but it will never be the same without Tony. Nor is it the same without Mick and Phil and Ian and a host of others that are no longer part of the current cast and crew of Time Team. But those who are no longer with us, will always be The Time Team, and will always be remembered.
Stewart is the absolute master of his field. His hand drawn plan lined up with the geophysics almost exactly. How often has he been wrong on Time Team? Like twice? Gus was great too. I enjoyed him the first episodes, and he feels more relaxed here.
My ancestors (Myttons) owned Halston hall and my dad was the finder of a very rare conventual bullae of the Knights Hospitaller a few years ago in Warwickshire. So i feel like this episode has a personal connection. Love it!
An excellent Day-1 ... I'm pleased that my Patreon contributions are helping new episodes be filmed - shame on terrestrial TV not picking up Time Team again.
the quality of TV has degraded so much over the years, that actual worthwhile stuff like this would be complete out of place these days. At least on TH-cam they have a large audience that appreciates the educational value of the show
A HUGE thank you to the Patreon supporters who've enabled the return of this awesome show (for free!) for us big TT fans who sadly aren't in a position to help fund, & can only boost via engagement & enthusiasm!
That was fascinating, Richard Morriss identifies the doorway through filled holes and indentations, vertical breaks and you see the doorway as he shows us!! Amazing! Richard sure knows his stuff!!
Being old and set in my ways I was prepared to not like the new series. This is great, very interesting and engaging just like TT has always been. I feel a bit sorry for Tony, Dr. Gus is a fantastic presenter.
It is so nice to see a new show- I love time team. It’s like visiting old friends. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Time Team got me through the sudden death of my best friend , and it got me through several covid lock downs . Time Team was my sanity during lock down and the worst grief I have faced in my life time.
Great - a real step up from the first two, which weren't at all bad themselves. Gus has found his feet and got the pace and energy right. Richard Moriss is brilliant as ever. Just straight back to the best of the old time team with lots of familiar faces. And bringing through that young crusaders expert Rory who was probably born around the time the original first series aired and "promoting" the likes of Matt. Really well balanced. Do more and more often!
Having watched scores of Time Team digs, I was a bit surprised by my emotional reaction to this current one. When in the opening segment Matt Williams issues his urgent call to arms, I experienced a delightful surge of the old excitement--a testimony, I think, to the anticipation this series has inevitably inspired in viewers. I also wish to say a quick word about Dr. Gus Casely-Hayford's commendable performance. He has inherited a hard act to follow, to be sure, but he acquits himself extremely well. I love the reverential wonder in his voice as he inspects each emergent find. Many thanks to all!
Why doesn’t this channel have more subscribers! It is the best thing on the internet, and I’m so happy that we are able to see it in the U.S. One of my dreams is to go to the UK and sign up for a time team dig as a volunteer. If I keep my mouth shut maybe no one will notice that I’m American ;)
Involving kids in digs like these is so awesome…kids will be kids…and a lot of them will be distracted and playful and might not buy into all of this…but one thing is for sure…they get to work with their hands…in the outdoors….learn a skill or two…work with others…camaraderie and teamwork…feed all the good stuff to their brain…tomorrow in their lives it might not be in the field of archaeology…but those interactions and life skills will come of use…. TT is such an epic show for this alone…nothing that compares to it on any viewing medium today….
Stuart sitting on the tree was cool. Nice to see him at the beginning: We have just three days. Good to see Matt with a bigger role, also. Thanks for the captioning.
I think they could be looking for a 1970’s hair salon and I would be here intently watching. I’ve watched all the old shows to death so I love it. 😊. #timeteamdigsagain
Can I just say how very lovely it is to see these people doing this amazing work? Seeing Stewart and John and the rest doing what I love seeing them do again does my heart good. ❤
from all directions! learning more info about the world, giving folks work, and entertaining the rest of us that arent getting our fingers dirty! win win win
Absolutely! The way he is able to bring both indepth scientific understanding & a vivid visual imagination to reading the landscape makes him one of my BIG archaeological heroes 🥰
HOLY CRAPOLA Time Team still exists?????!!!!!????? Shocking. Grew up with Time Team as a kid and now on youtube? Talk bout a good find and throw backs to the days of PBS.
Can I just say, Time Team was one of the highlights of my childhood. Absolutely loved sitting down with mum and dad watching this incredible show, learning about our history from this amazing team of people. I was expecting to hear the cheeky chirpy voice of Tony Robinson at the start of this show, but it wasn’t there. I will miss Tony Robinson. He was pure brilliance. The new presenter Dr Gus Casely-Hayford has done me proud. So great to see him excited and super enthusiastic. He has the spirit of Tony Robinson, and I wish him all of the success with these new Time Team episodes. A hard role to take on after decades of having (The man) Tony Robinson present the show. This was one of the greatest Time Team shows I’ve ever watched. Well done sir, very well done.
I live in tennessee so ive only seen small news articles and a couple of youtube videos but i keep my eyes out for stories every few days im fascinated about the removal of 4 dams on the same river its amazing to think about the government taking one out let alone 4 the permitting and paper work red tape has to be mind numbing
I may have an insight that could be of value for Time Team. I've seen every episode available on TH-cam. When I saw this new episode, I was caught by the introduction being presented by Stewart. I couldn't wait to watch it. While exploring my long-time attraction to Time Team, I was reminded of a recent interview with Richard Hammond of Top Gear fame. When asked about the phenomenal success of Top Gear, Richard said that it was all due to the fact that the presenters always kept one guiding element in every show - "their passion for the automotive world." Richard said that no matter how silly and outlandish each show was, "the passion was always at the center." It seems obvious to me that the passion for archeology present in all of the previous shows is what made me watch every episode. Tony's genuine passion may have acted as a spotlight to expose the passion in all of the other team members. I believe that Tony also demonstrated that slick presentations. My final thought is even though new archeological technology and better production is of some value, it's the passion for archeology from all of the team members that will keep me subscribed to Time Team. I began with my experience of seeing Stewart at the beginning of this last episode and I knew his passion was going to make a great show. 🙏 Sim Graves
Gus us better as overall MC but was ridiculously The Whisperer when he began! I prefer the two archeologists Derek & ? who do an excellent job together & show natural excitement & emotions but whispering at the edge of finds seriously frustrated & emoted a feeling of kicking his unnatural pretentious Professor’s butt!
Since I first found the original Time Team, and listening to Stewart and Mick, I find I can't go anywhere without looking at the landscape, finding lumps and bumps and wondering...'what could those be? Iron Age? Roman? Medieval?' Will never take any landscape for granted again.
3:34 already this episode is extremely enjoyable. It feels less stiff. You can tell the presenter is enjoying himself. Looking forward to this, more so than any of the previous episodes.
Really enjoyed watching day 1 of this dig. Nice to see some of the regulars too. Can’t wait for day 2…thank you so much Time Team for making my evening worthwhile !
Love it, just love it. Great to see Richard Morriss again, hope to see more of him in future digs. His knowledge is so vast, and his easy way of explaining things is delightful as well as informative. What I really want to know though is... will Stewart actually buy John a beer? We may be in for a Time Team first here!
My week's been rotten and seeing this upload really brightened my day. So wonderful to see John, Stewart, Helen, Carenza, Matt, Henry and Naomi, all with their spark of humor, knowledge and enthusiasm ❤ Delightful seeing the kids getting involved too, I always loved that about the show. Can't wait to see what turns up because I really wanna see Stewart buy John that beer 🍺
I love, love, love seeing the original crew in action. It's like meeting up with old friends who you've grown up with, learned from, had all these amazing experiences with, and who are as fascinated with history as you are. They have become a part of history. Kinda makes me tear up, ha. ❤
I’ve watched this from the very beginning. There’s nothing else like it on TH-cam. Thank you so very much for sharing this with us . Cheers From California 😊
I am so happy that Time Team is starting to air Dog one from the 2022 digs, that were done, and so far Day one does not disappoint, but I have to agree with John, that getting closer and ever doing radar over the graveyard and IN the building itself is called for..
Total respect for all that worked to bring Time Team back, it all feels "right" and thats not easy to do. Gus is just perfect as the presenter. I love it!
I loved my conversation with Stewart I had for my Undergraduate dissertation. I wouldn't have got such a good grade if I hadn't had it!!! Archaeological legend!
I love the new team. Thank you so much for posting this - and for perservering in bringing this incredible series back. As a side note - I just rewatched Gus's series Lost Kingdoms of Africa and enjoyed it even more knowing that in the future, he'd be stepping into Sir Tony and beloved Prof. Aston's big, big shoes (may his name be ever a blessing). I can hardly wait until the next episode!!!!
Love how the pace and buildup is more and more resembling the original series. Nice work. Note to self: become a patron, for I ve beeen enjoying Time Team for many years now.
the beautiful rolling landscape of Shropshire hides so much uncovered history, including Roman, Medieval the Civil War and the iron industry. Always love it when Time team come to the county. I remember them excavating the leaning tower in Bridgnorth..
i love helen bringing everyone down to reality at the wrap-up: but it IS still only day one, so it isn't surprising that we don't really have a plan. so much on that site to explore, i hope we find some real juicy bits!
100% I appreciate the show continued again in the modern day. I like that some of the original show key people's have remained and more than anything, thank you for the format staying. I can't say enough thank you all so very much.
Sunday night here in California, I had to make sure we started watched bang on 8pm just like the old days!…love it, seeing the old gang battling it out on day one, saving part 2 for tomorrow night, cheers all! 👏🏻🧐🇬🇧
The amount of care you all take with each episode. The amount of yes, time. Although 3 days. You take the time to put the evidence together, the animation, the cgi, the whole dig. You take it, put it all in a format which works so well. Each day is its own episode. You really can pay attention to all of it, as opposed to rushing the whole way through. I love the old show. I love the new one. And proud to be a Patreon of time team. Great work. I wish Phil would come back for an episode. But his love for mick won’t allow him. I respect Phil, and miss mick. Love y’all. Keep it up!
I was just waiting for Gus to say "lumps and bumps" in the intro! Absolutely love TT's work, only thing I have ever been a Patreon of (even though it's at the lowest tier, inflation hits hard). Worth every penny, just to see how much goes back into the community, the crew, the digs...and these amazing episodes as a result.
Great to see another new episode. Found Time Team about 15 years ago and have been hooked since. They reignited my passion for history. Looking forward to more!!
I’ve been a fan of Time Team for decades, but man oh man, the advantages of modern technology on bringing these dogs and finds to life are just phenomenal. I do long for all the old gang’s opinions too. Although all the new people are great too! I’m enjoying getting to know the new team members. It’s also great that more than one episode can be dedicated to a single dog sight. Getting more content for each day makes Time Tram better than ever.
Thank you, Time Team and the Patreons! Such a gift to be able to watch this fantastic series. Presenters and experts have all settled in so wonderfully to the new version of the show. It’s entertaining and educational, exactly what it’s supposed to be. Uncertainty, delight, questions, suppositions, and the slow build of the case for, or possibly against, the original brief. Great stuff!
Tony Robinson was brilliant as the main TT presenter, and he was one of the key reasons I watched TT. I thought he would be irreplaceable. However, I am really enjoying Gus's contribution. He is, of course, very different from TR, but I think he's doing a great job.
Love this it's like sitting back in front of the fire putting on a comfy pair of old slippers relaxing and drifting into times past. The 1990s and the medieval all in one. Well done all great show Regards Dave
This is the best show! I am on my 2nd time watching all the original shows, So great to see so many of the wonderful personalities from the earlier crew. Stewart, John, Matt, Helen, Carenza, Henry. I do think Gus is an excellent host. Tony is a hard act to follow, but Gus is a great fit!
id say tony is a good bet, he's been participating more in sneak peeks and adverts for the team lately. would be great to hear his banter back and forth with stewart and jon
@@naradaian To be honest, I don't prefer him to Tony, but I like Gus. I think he would be far better as a replacement for Robin Bush. Not only is History his actual profession, he has just the right voice for it. I could really imagine him doing Time Team Extras! For the presenter, I honestly think they need someone more up-energy. Tony is a little too snarky sometimes, but the right level of dynamism. You can really tell that Gus has the same enthusiasm, but it's his nature to temper it, which isn't right, here.
Loved this! Everyone seems to have found their footing with the group and seemed happier and more relaxed than ever before! Delightful to see, Hugs to all from Alaska!
I was lucky enough to take part in this dig as part of the Community digging team and have been looking forward to this so much. It certainly did not disappoint and I cannot wait to see the second part tomorrow. (A big hello to all the other community diggers, the team from Whittingham castle and all the Time Team crew who made everyone feel so valued and welcome!)
Digger at heart here in BC Canada’s mountain valley. First Nations historical finds are what some find. Wishing to explore British heritage daily.
ᖃᓗᕋᑦᑎᐊᕆᑦ!
There really is nothing to compare as being involved directly in an archaeological excavation. The experience is incredible.
@@tankgirl2074 love the screen name 😁
I'm determined to be part of a dig one of these days. I don't even hold any illusions about it -- I'd be happy even if the only thing I discovered was a terrible sunburn on the back of my neck 😅
Lucky you indeed!
I love how Mick Aston's phrase, "Lumps and Bumps", lives on. Thank you for keeping his spirit alive, Time Team!
Ol’ Mick… good times. He had a way of not panicking. Lol. Never. Even if the dig was a bust. He was still the optimist. Rip
I wonder where he initially got it from. If he came up with it himself one day, or perhaps it was something he heard when he was still a student, maybe the way some random person described a site to him... there are a thousand ways. Regardless, it is a perfect simple to understand description.

I would never miss a show with Stewart talking about Mick's 'Lumps and Bumps'!!
Watching with great delight, but I can't help but wonder how much Mick would have enjoyed digging a new monastic site. He'll be forever missed, him and his stripy jumpers.
He would've said stews off on one of his walks again hehehe.
After all these years John and Stewart are still two of my favorite people whether they're bickering with each other or not!
I love seeing the “old” crew and the “new” crew blending so well! Thanks for bringing back Time Team!!!
Thanks for airing this free. It's wonderful so far. It's good to see how all the production team and presenters have really settled into the new series.
I’m an American but I love “Time Team” it’s so cool to see the history of my ancestors that we aren’t taught

Yes! I always think how I would love to follow him and his clipboard around any field!
I agree! Whenever he talks I sit up and listen!
The expertise he brings is such an incredible combo of art & science - the way he can read the landscape always blows my mind!

Finally!!! A Time Team episode where it's dedicated to doing archaeology instead of entertainment. I hope this continues!
It can be both.
Delighted Time Team is back up and running - I love seeing all the old crew so much
WooHoo! Seeing our donations working!!!!
from all directions! learning more info about the world, giving folks work, and entertaining the rest of us that arent getting our fingers dirty! win win win
Love it! I am embracing the new invigorated Time Team. It’s different from the original, and as equally great it it’s own way. ❤
Nice to see new episode with new and old faces. Miss Phil, Mick and Tony though.
Stewart has not only great knowledge but a great instinct for the landscape. He can see things most can't ?
Absolutely! The way he is able to bring both indepth scientific understanding & a vivid visual imagination to reading the landscape makes him one of my BIG archaeological heroes 🥰

Me too. I'm near Klamath Falls. You?
I live in tennessee so ive only seen small news articles and a couple of youtube videos but i keep my eyes out for stories every few days im fascinated about the removal of 4 dams on the same river its amazing to think about the government taking one out let alone 4 the permitting and paper work red tape has to be mind numbing
I may have an insight that could be of value for
Time Team. I've seen every episode available on TH-cam.
When I saw this new episode, I was caught by the introduction being presented by Stewart. I couldn't wait to watch it.
While exploring my long-time attraction to Time Team, I was reminded of a recent interview with Richard Hammond of Top Gear fame. When asked about the phenomenal success of Top Gear, Richard said that it was all due to the fact that the presenters always kept one guiding element in every show - "their passion for the automotive world."
Richard said that no matter how silly and outlandish each show was, "the passion was always at the center."
It seems obvious to me that the passion for archeology present in all of the previous shows is what made me watch every episode. Tony's genuine passion may have acted as a spotlight to expose the passion in all of the other team members.
I believe that Tony also demonstrated that slick presentations.
My final thought is even though new archeological technology and better production is of some value, it's the passion for archeology from all of the team members that will keep me subscribed to Time Team. I began with my experience of seeing Stewart at the beginning of this last episode and I knew his passion was going to make a great show.

I mean Tony will always be the host of my heart. But I really love Gus's hosting style so he definitely brings another element to our new time team
❤
Gus us better as overall MC but was ridiculously The Whisperer when he began! I prefer the two archeologists Derek & ? who do an excellent job together & show natural excitement & emotions but whispering at the edge of finds seriously frustrated & emoted a feeling of kicking his unnatural pretentious Professor’s butt!
Come on Stewie,show us your stuff! You have a good eye for seeing things ,it is just amazig to me and i am a farmer.
agreed. his eye for the lay of the land is laser sharp, and his accuracy is incredible!
Since I first found the original Time Team, and listening to Stewart and Mick, I find I can't go anywhere without looking at the landscape, finding lumps and bumps and wondering...'what could those be? Iron Age? Roman? Medieval?' Will never take any landscape for granted again.
3:34 already this episode is extremely enjoyable. It feels less stiff. You can tell the presenter is enjoying himself. Looking forward to this, more so than any of the previous episodes.
“So… how are you gonna find me a preceptory? What’s the plan?” Love it!
Really enjoyed watching day 1 of this dig. Nice to see some of the regulars too. Can’t wait for day 2…thank you so much Time Team for making my evening worthwhile !
I fully appreciate the joy shown over a tiny bit of an old broken cup, while envisioning how the complete item would have been used in the past.
Love it, just love it. Great to see Richard Morriss again, hope to see more of him in future digs. His knowledge is so vast, and his easy way of explaining things is delightful as well as informative. What I really want to know though is... will Stewart actually buy John a beer? We may be in for a Time Team first here!
My week's been rotten and seeing this upload really brightened my day. So wonderful to see John, Stewart, Helen, Carenza, Matt, Henry and Naomi, all with their spark of humor, knowledge and enthusiasm ❤ Delightful seeing the kids getting involved too, I always loved that about the show. Can't wait to see what turns up because I really wanna see Stewart buy John that beer 🍺
I love, love, love seeing the original crew in action. It's like meeting up with old friends who you've grown up with, learned from, had all these amazing experiences with, and who are as fascinated with history as you are. They have become a part of history. Kinda makes me tear up, ha. ❤
time team will always be a british staple....love you guys... easiest like ever
I’ve watched this from the very beginning. There’s nothing else like it on TH-cam. Thank you so very much for sharing this with us . Cheers From California 😊
Ah, seeing the frustration/confusion at the end of Day 1, as per usual. Welcome back.
We are the reenactment group you see in the cut scene. We are Conquest Mercia.
Great to get new episodes, some of the old ones I know by heart 😀
I loved all the classic Time Team episodes that I've seen on TH-cam. This new Time Time is as good as the classic.
thank goodness they have a new presenter
I am so happy that Time Team is starting to air Dog one from the 2022 digs, that were done, and so far Day one does not disappoint, but I have to agree with John, that getting closer and ever doing radar over the graveyard and IN the building itself is called for..
Total respect for all that worked to bring Time Team back, it all feels "right" and thats not easy to do. Gus is just perfect as the presenter. I love it!
Ah, yes, just to hear the various musical themes anew causes a Pavlovian reaction in me. I am happy, if only for the next 20 minutes.
O, rejoice and be happy! A new TT episode. My day has been made.😄
I loved my conversation with Stewart I had for my Undergraduate dissertation. I wouldn't have got such a good grade if I hadn't had it!!!
Archaeological legend!
Oh wow, I am so jealous! 😍 Such a fangirl of his work... He's so unassuming, but seems SO knowledgeable, imaginative & even kind!
Nice to see my old colleague Richard involved again! Great show as usual.
Thank you for bringing this back and giving me memories of my grandad every time I tune in to watch an episode. I love you all for this.
⭐It is awesome to see Time Team back with most of the old crew, it is my favorite TV show of all time ⭐
I love the new team. Thank you so much for posting this - and for perservering in bringing this incredible series back. As a side note - I just rewatched Gus's series Lost Kingdoms of Africa and enjoyed it even more knowing that in the future, he'd be stepping into Sir Tony and beloved Prof. Aston's big, big shoes (may his name be ever a blessing). I can hardly wait until the next episode!!!!
Love how the pace and buildup is more and more resembling the original series. Nice work. Note to self: become a patron, for I ve beeen enjoying Time Team for many years now.
Loved time team wish the old complete team were back together
Great to see the Team getting stuck in👍👍👍
So enjoying seeing the old faces on Time Team. My money is on Stewart being right. Can't wait to see the rest of this episode.
the beautiful rolling landscape of Shropshire hides so much uncovered history, including Roman, Medieval the Civil War and the iron industry. Always love it when Time team come to the county. I remember them excavating the leaning tower in Bridgnorth..
i love helen bringing everyone down to reality at the wrap-up: but it IS still only day one, so it isn't surprising that we don't really have a plan. so much on that site to explore, i hope we find some real juicy bits!
I just got back from vacation and I'm excited to find Time Team in my feed.
Stewart, John, Henry - the Time Team Trinity. All looking magnificent.
100% I appreciate the show continued again in the modern day. I like that some of the original show key people's have remained and more than anything, thank you for the format staying. I can't say enough thank you all so very much.
Sunday night here in California, I had to make sure we started watched bang on 8pm just like the old days!…love it, seeing the old gang battling it out on day one, saving part 2 for tomorrow night, cheers all! 👏🏻🧐🇬🇧
I'm thoroughly convinced you can dig anywhere on that island and find something cool.
So happy to be off work today and available to see this new Time Team episode.
The amount of care you all take with each episode. The amount of yes, time. Although 3 days. You take the time to put the evidence together, the animation, the cgi, the whole dig. You take it, put it all in a format which works so well. Each day is its own episode. You really can pay attention to all of it, as opposed to rushing the whole way through. I love the old show. I love the new one. And proud to be a Patreon of time team. Great work. I wish Phil would come back for an episode. But his love for mick won’t allow him. I respect Phil, and miss mick. Love y’all. Keep it up!
A new Time Team episode is always the best news in days!😍
Stuart is so amazing .his skills in looking thrue the boddom of the landscape .priceless!
I have such a crush on Matt and it hasn't lessened as we've both aged ❤😊
I was just waiting for Gus to say "lumps and bumps" in the intro! Absolutely love TT's work, only thing I have ever been a Patreon of (even though it's at the lowest tier, inflation hits hard). Worth every penny, just to see how much goes back into the community, the crew, the digs...and these amazing episodes as a result.
"only thing I have ever been a Patreon of"
Me too & worth every single penny...
Time Team is great for the soul! Thanks so much.
Their passion is contagious.
Great to see another new episode. Found Time Team about 15 years ago and have been hooked since. They reignited my passion for history. Looking forward to more!!
I’ve been a fan of Time Team for decades, but man oh man, the advantages of modern technology on bringing these dogs and finds to life are just phenomenal. I do long for all the old gang’s opinions too. Although all the new people are great too! I’m enjoying getting to know the new team members. It’s also great that more than one episode can be dedicated to a single dog sight. Getting more content for each day makes Time Tram better than ever.
Thank you, Time Team and the Patreons! Such a gift to be able to watch this fantastic series. Presenters and experts have all settled in so wonderfully to the new version of the show. It’s entertaining and educational, exactly what it’s supposed to be. Uncertainty, delight, questions, suppositions, and the slow build of the case for, or possibly against, the original brief. Great stuff!
I grew up watching Time Team. Now I hope I can grow old with it. Glad to have you back Time Team :)
Wow great to see Matt again. Thanks for putting this on TH-cam.
Tony Robinson was brilliant as the main TT presenter, and he was one of the key reasons I watched TT. I thought he would be irreplaceable. However, I am really enjoying Gus's contribution. He is, of course, very different from TR, but I think he's doing a great job.
Love this it's like sitting back in front of the fire putting on a comfy pair of old slippers relaxing and drifting into times past. The 1990s and the medieval all in one. Well done all great show Regards Dave
Starting with Stuart sitting under the tree was just lovely
I have been a TT fan for about 5 years, and my son has been a fan his entire life. So much love to the new digs!
This is the best show! I am on my 2nd time watching all the original shows, So great to see so many of the wonderful personalities from the earlier crew. Stewart, John, Matt, Helen, Carenza, Henry. I do think Gus is an excellent host. Tony is a hard act to follow, but Gus is a great fit!
What an amazing first day! So warming to see familiar faces. Looking forward to seeing day two.
Loving the new episodes! Hope to see Phil or Tony make a guest appearance
id say tony is a good bet, he's been participating more in sneak peeks and adverts for the team lately. would be great to hear his banter back and forth with stewart and jon
Yes i find Dr Gus too much of a gusher i prefer Tonys strong sarcasm and argumentative attitude
@@naradaian couldn't agree more. Hes far too bland
I prefer Gus by far. Found Tony a bit hectoring and diva-ish
@@naradaian To be honest, I don't prefer him to Tony, but I like Gus. I think he would be far better as a replacement for Robin Bush. Not only is History his actual profession, he has just the right voice for it. I could really imagine him doing Time Team Extras!
For the presenter, I honestly think they need someone more up-energy. Tony is a little too snarky sometimes, but the right level of dynamism. You can really tell that Gus has the same enthusiasm, but it's his nature to temper it, which isn't right, here.
Loved this! Everyone seems to have found their footing with the group and seemed happier and more relaxed than ever before! Delightful to see, Hugs to all from Alaska!
Seeing old Time Team staff again is so nice. From the guy finding things to being the one calling them in.
I'm so glad they gave a little blurp with the meaning of the word wainscot, because it saved me from having to look it up.
18:03 just hearing everyone’s voice again is so cool
"Young Matt" has become nearly an eminence gris of the team!
Phil did a good job training Matt.
The problem is that we, the viewers who follow Time Team from the start many years ago, have become grey too. 👴🏼
@@palantir135 And (speaking for myself) bald! He was just a lad in college a moment ago! LOL!
@@CraigLYoung Matt eschews the cut off jeans, so there's that! Ha Ha!
@@palantir135 ...or left the building.
This puts such a smile on my face.
Loved it, been a fan for over 20 years now and Time Team TNG is doing a fantastic job!
