Unfortunately not. Some diggers actually, after the series ended, mentioned that it was three days of back-breaking hard work, from sun-up to sun-down in all weather, sometimes sleeping in freezing tents in wet sleeping bags. Definitely nothing anyone would do just for fun and/ or in their free time.

What a lovely episode...tenacious, educated..working off the intellectual clues they could find...too bad they had not the chance to excavate little in the graveyard.....It would be interesting to see what might be found with up-to-methods....perhaps what drones with Geo could locate? Thank you again all in Time Team!!!
If you peel off the layers of Norse, Latin and Norman-French vocabulary in modern English you basically end up with weirdly pronounced Dutch. We stopped pronouncing the k in kn- words, stopped pronouncing the '-ght', the '-en' plural survives in only three words, eventually lost the 2nd personal informal pronouns... Dutch ik and OE ic are clearly the same word, and became modern english 'I', I guess because we're basically lazy ;)
It's quite wrong to assume Edward was born in a "palace" of Aethelred. Emma of Normandy, Aethelred's Queen and Edward's mother, was the wealthiest woman in England and owned many properties, including in Oxfordshire, though I'm not sure about Islip specifically. Edward himself writes that it was his _mother_ that gifted him the _little house_ in Islip rather than his father. This implies a relatively lowkey dwelling rather than a full-blown Saxon palace. It may have been a place of retreat for Emma when she went into seclusion during her pregnancy, as wealthy women often did until modern times. It could even have been a guest house near a monastery she patronized if one existed in the area.
I have to agree. It kind of ruins the show for me slightly. Kind of disappointing that once again a successful woman is still only recognized for her looks and not her intelligence and successes.
Great episode....Time Team needs to run things differently....they need to have the research done Before the three days of digging begins...as well as the geo-phis....needs to be done well ahead of the dig
Like any tv show, they plan for months ahead to mitigate the most expensive aspect of production - location shoots. Surveying, getting necessary permissions, camera plots, scripts etc are all done before the 3 days. The appeal of the show is how well they make it look spontaneous - but it really isn't.
At 35:50 while the host is talking what moves in the background between the man and women. Watch between their arms closely. Could this be a ghost caught on tape with out them knowing about it. would like another opinion on this section.

What technique? They way the Time Team goes about it? It is called evaluation or exploratory archaeology. They go in, and try to figure out if there is anything and if there is, if it is something that should be looked into at a later time by people with the means and time to do it justice.
+CologneCarter If I understand it correctly, Time Team dug a lot of places that would otherwise not have been done and during their main years they did the majority of archaeological digs in the UK. The series provided funding for things that would otherwise probably never have happened. It's not unlikely that nobody else will look at these places in a very long time.
I'm guessing they weren't listening when the man read that the "barn" was also turned into a privy. Duh. All that was left of the chapel was the toilet they dug in it.
In Britain "outhouse" doesn't mean an outdoor bathroom like it does in the states, it just means a shed or barn that is outside of the main house. But it is funny that it sounds that way!
That stone privy was pretty well built, wasn't it? One might say built like a brick shit house. But that's vulgar. "Built like a stone privy" in polite company.
So what if Edward was born in Islip. His mother might have just been passing through from one royal estate to another. I've known kids born in one locale, when they were actually just born in a car on the side of the freeway and happend to be registered in that jurisdiction. their parents never actually resided there. seems that was probably edwards nativity, born in a small royal hunting lodge which was the nearest convenient place when his mother went into labor. All the later stories were applied later after he died.
Emma was certainly passed from one 'royal' to another, didn't have a choice about either. She probably enjoyed Cnut a lot more than that ancient, indecisive relic her brother foisted on her.
'Well, we didn't find any evidence of Edward the Confessor. But what we have learnt is your house is built on the site of a Medieval knocking shop and the village shops and school are over a massive plague pit containing the disease ridden and highly contagious.' Join use next week on time team when we look for a Saxon funfair and ice cream parlor.
Ever wonder if a Saxon resident of ancient England stood in a field and wandered what their home would look like in 1,000 years? One can only imagine their reaction.
Edward was a a alternative lifestyle monarch, he was married to Harold's sister but produced no children he spent most of his time with his Male French courtiers and almost no time with his beautiful wife? The irony is he's made a saint by the church a hundred years later as he was obviously pius ! Lol
I'd just like to point out that if they had found "13th Century Dinky toys" as Mick joked, a few people might have asked questions why someone born in the 11th century had toys made 200 years later. But I'm sure the church would have been able to explain away ANOTHER miracle of the relics (Like how Jesus managed to have up to 18 foreskins).
I love these programs so much :-) but why dont they do more research before they start digging hehe they could have managed so much more in the three days...
Leopararouen WTF, Aren't they professionals?? 3 days just for the $$. Oh wait sounds about right. And to fcking lazy to dig outside the UK. Love the show, but fuck your 'day jobp' comment!! Unless they're ubér sellouts!!
All these seasons..... and it never occurred to you that they’re approaching these excavation sites with careful archaeological methods so they can get a close look at each layer of soil and not damage potential artifacts?
Tony, never ASSUME. Why not? Break it down and it makes an ASS of U and ME and this time you did get egg on your face, at 45:42, didn't you? Same as you always use the word THEORY, but never have I heard you use the term in a correct scientific context.
Oh, and Phil deliberately wears the same hat, so he gets fame, by being talked about. Its an old trick, like G Ramsay becoming famous for swearing. But Phil is a great character and Archeologist.
Chris Warren Or maybe, he is just unaffected and is exactly who he appears to be. Not everyone has an agenda, except the pure enjoyment of their craft.
Do you get royalties. from the greatly increased Tourist Village income and inflated Property prices. I must Confess that Islip ped in this observation, cos its probably the real reason, for your invitation to dig here.
Raksha adds so much to the digs. I love her personality. such a cutie. Love seeing the earlier episodes

Thomas Hockin In this episode I'd say it's more like "Poke and Hope"...Love the series though, it's always time well spent.
+CologneCarter If I understand it correctly, Time Team dug a lot of places that would otherwise not have been done and during their main years they did the majority of archaeological digs in the UK. The series provided funding for things that would otherwise probably never have happened.
It's not unlikely that nobody else will look at these places in a very long time.
Did I see Mick enjoying a pint at the Red Lion? I thought he only drank red wine?
A couple of episodes ago he was drinking white wine. Perhaps like most of us, he fancied a change from his favourite tipple now and again
tipple = alcoholic beverage of choice?
Yes that's right
Mick was known to enjoy a pint or two from time to time. I've seen him with a beer in a couple of episodes.
Time to install some extra irrigation lines before they are done
A confessor is a saint who died of natural causes as opposed to a martyr . Often used to differentiate two persons of the same name .
it would appear that time team digs, coincide with places with a red lion pub ?
Not hard in English villages.
Wait, why didn't they tell the people about the Saxon pottery they found?
They'd all want some then😊
I'm guessing they weren't listening when the man read that the "barn" was also turned into a privy. Duh. All that was left of the chapel was the toilet they dug in it.
In Britain "outhouse" doesn't mean an outdoor bathroom like it does in the states, it just means a shed or barn that is outside of the main house. But it is funny that it sounds that way!
I would be over the moon to find victorian bits. Funny how they call it rubbish lol
That stone privy was pretty well built, wasn't it? One might say built like a brick shit house. But that's vulgar. "Built like a stone privy" in polite company.
I loved the drawing of the privy, or whatever you want to call it! lol
Cool digs no mater what was found
So what if Edward was born in Islip. His mother might have just been passing through from one royal estate to another. I've known kids born in one locale, when they were actually just born in a car on the side of the freeway and happend to be registered in that jurisdiction. their parents never actually resided there. seems that was probably edwards nativity, born in a small royal hunting lodge which was the nearest convenient place when his mother went into labor. All the later stories were applied later after he died.
Emma was certainly passed from one 'royal' to another, didn't have a choice about either. She probably enjoyed Cnut a lot more than that ancient, indecisive relic her brother foisted on her.
The Anglo Saxon Hall looks very much like the recontructed Regia Anglorum Hall in Kent
'Well, we didn't find any evidence of Edward the Confessor. But what we have learnt is your house is built on the site of a Medieval knocking shop and the village shops and school are over a massive plague pit containing the disease ridden and highly contagious.' Join use next week on time team when we look for a Saxon funfair and ice cream parlor.
Palace! Where?
Ever wonder if a Saxon resident of ancient England stood in a field and wandered what their home would look like in 1,000 years? One can only imagine their reaction.
Finding Saxon dwellings is proving as illusive as finding a shirt to fit Brigid.
Bridgid's tops fit very nicely. Just not all over. :-)
*elusive (sorry)
Sam Newton fan
Edward was a a alternative lifestyle monarch, he was married to Harold's sister but produced no children he spent most of his time with his Male French courtiers and almost no time with his beautiful wife?
The irony is he's made a saint by the church a hundred years later as he was obviously pius ! Lol
Whoa. You guys still leave bargees on board?
I'd just like to point out that if they had found "13th Century Dinky toys" as Mick joked, a few people might have asked questions why someone born in the 11th century had toys made 200 years later. But I'm sure the church would have been able to explain away ANOTHER miracle of the relics (Like how Jesus managed to have up to 18 foreskins).
No, the church would have deemed them witches and tools of the devil, tortured and burned them.
Cannot win them all.
Be a nice village to live in.
Especially with Saxon halls.
I love these programs so much :-) but why dont they do more research before they start digging hehe they could have managed so much more in the three days...
Perhaps everyone has another job, and can't get to the site until Friday.
Leopararouen WTF, Aren't they professionals?? 3 days just for the $$. Oh wait sounds about right. And to fcking lazy to dig outside the UK. Love the show, but fuck your 'day jobp' comment!! Unless they're ubér sellouts!!
Contrived drama increases viewership ratings.
@@MirekHeikkila To(o) fcking lazy to dig outside the UK. ? Not been watching this long, have you?
All these seasons, and they never do buy a power sod-cutter...
All these seasons..... and it never occurred to you that they’re approaching these excavation sites with careful archaeological methods so they can get a close look at each layer of soil and not damage potential artifacts?
25:52 dig it
Thomas Becket. The A is an error which, despite being oft repeated, deserves to be observed and avoided by learned persons.
And pedants.
43:31 46:00 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Another fantastic failure, love it!
Not a failure. They just found lots of stuff that wasn't what they were looking for.
even pregnant helen geake looks great ... still her only flaw is she is not single ;)
That's the Brits. First they lose something then they have to tear up the countryside trying to find it.
That's me trying to find my keys as well 😂😂😂😂😂
Someone should compare results with #hydraulicpresschannel and #taofledermaus on this glass urinal at the discovery of it.
Wish they didn't do the reality TV thing of a 3 day time limit...
It wasn't a _reality thing,_ it was just how long such a team needed to do an exploratory dig. All the archæologists had _proper_ jobs in archæology.
4 4 4 4( ewdar the confor bladawin English depfler)
This is why its boring, living in the US. There's nothing interesting here.
What do you mean with all our Bigfoot alien reality programs we have every thing

Tony, never ASSUME. Why not? Break it down and it makes an ASS of U and ME and this time you did get egg on your face, at 45:42, didn't you? Same as you always use the word THEORY, but never have I heard you use the term in a correct scientific context.
Tony's a mushroom.... kept in the dark and fed bullsh*t... rofl Mick
Just did a little line of coke time team time
Oh, and Phil deliberately wears the same hat, so he gets fame, by being talked about.
Its an old trick, like G Ramsay becoming famous for swearing. But Phil is a great character and Archeologist.
Chris Warren Or maybe, he is just unaffected and is exactly who he appears to be. Not everyone has an agenda, except the pure enjoyment of their craft.
all us diggers have a fave hat and trowel
Do you get royalties. from the greatly increased Tourist Village income and inflated Property prices. I must Confess that Islip ped in this observation, cos its probably the real reason, for your invitation to dig here.
