One of Sir Tony's very best. I knew the minute he said "a friend of mine excavated it" that we would have an encounter with Phil Harding (of Time Team fame)! Tony is sensitive to the (sometimes strange) views of the people he encounters; ley lines were a big deal in the years I lived in Britain, and you can hear echoes in Jethro Tull's "Songs from the Wood." And even more so, his reading of Edward Thomas's poem in the tree cathedral -- it's enough to bring tears for anyone who has read about the terrible fallout from World War I. An excellent walk, by an exceptional presenter.
I'm curious Tony...what's in the backpack...
As with everything else in life, this is only ONE SIDE of a GUESS of what went on tens of thousands of years ago. We don't have BOTH SIDES of the story, do we!?!?!???
So-called "Roman" roads are almost certainly much older than the Current Era. They may have been paved by the Romans, but they were laid on routes surveyed much earlier. The practice of setting bonfires on hills likelyserves as a record of regular re-surveying in a forested landscape.
The guy singing in the woods reminded me of the scene from the movie 1917 where the kid was singing "I'm a Poor Wayfaring Stranger".
If TR is an amateur historian, I'd like to know what a professional historian looks like...
It's Baldric! 😄❤️
I poked around Grimes Graves several times in 72 and 73. I might have met Phil but I don't remember. I was very impressed with the site. I was impressed with all of the sites in the area. The thought that I was in the same spot that people from thousands of years before had been was a bit of a psychological shock. The same was true in my childhood home in Kansas but it seemed more real there.
He never disappoints and in fact exceeds expectations. This one is elegantly simple but loaded with amazing history and details.
Why are you dressed like Forrest Gump?
Watching these things just consumes me. I'm always getting suggestions about what movies to watch and such, but my heart just isn't in that. This is the stuff I'm made of.
Great documentary thank you!!

Good to see you two chaps together. I still go back and watch Time Team and I also managed to purchase a copy of the wonderful book that was published due to all your work. Thanks 🎉
Fascinating! Thank you!
Very beautiful done too!!!
Absolutely beautiful.
So glad to have found this show. Beautiful scenery, fascinating wonderings. Of course much of everything we "know" about the past is really speculation, there is so little written documentation, and knowledge of how to interpret what is. There is much we could have wrong...but that's why we keep seeking.
More about ancient Grimes please. My maternal grandfather was a Grimes. We don’t know much about him. Robert Lee Grimes
So interesting, Never heard of this. History by mouth, stories and lost songs, we are now doomed to Tick Tock and Instagram. No body writes letters any more and most art is now digitally made. I still use pencils and paints, paper and glue....
