For me Time Team was a cultural oasis in a desert of dumb and lazy TV. It works when the product and the people who are involved are so good. The technology now at our disposal, and a new generation of archaeologists joining the team, is a fantastic prospect. Joining you at your virtual pyre and raising a glass to Mick Aston! Plans: Tim said they now have enough funds to film two new episodes for YouTube, with another two in the pipeline. My own favourite was Stuart, to see him on his bike or wandering around looking at the landscape with his ability to fit any site into its landscape. Coincidentally, digging within a tight timeframe echoed contemporary changes underway in the profession. yes, I too have treasured every episode, and it has been the one programme of all channels that I never wanted to miss, even asking family to record it if I went on holiday, in the early years before I had a dvd m/c.

The major players seem tired and cranky, and while they are all professionals and are trying very hard to be positive and upbeat, its obvious that they are trying, and that ruins it. We have it so easy in this day and age to compare to others in the past and we so loved it when Tony came to Australia and did some shows about our ancestral heritage,we all walk past so much and never notice whats in front of us,we miss so much rich knowledge right under our feet. Please BBC take this show under your wings ! A known anthropologist and archeologist ( Emmanuel College, Cambridge ), to describe and dismiss her as a former model is a bit unfair. I am off to channel four to ask them what is wrong with audiences that are over 40, 50 or even 60, what is wrong with older peoples programmes? Please, please would someone bring the show back, This is just another example of Managements old adage: Its perfect; lets New and Improve it Very very sad. Just watched the first instalment of Time Team America (H2,Thursdays,9pm). Hated that they axed Mick Aston and brought in other new people!!! While viewing it might be a bittersweet experience we should enjoy the moment while we can. I have scoured the Internet watching every episode I can find, some more than once. This was highlighted by having a member of the public read out a letter of invitation at the beginning, posing the question they wanted answered. How right Mick Aston was. They cant bring it back. I am an ex water board worker and I still don t know where they obtained the patience to go into a hole in the ground and dig with a trowel. TV is a wasteland and TT was an oasis in it. To anyone who loves the Sunday afternoon history fix as much as I do PLEASE sign! That way we still get our fix when we want to remind ourselves how good this series was.

By the way, if the executives mild revamp caused viewer figures to plummet, how come it was the programme and not those executives who got the flak? It was this show that gave me the inspiration to study history and I will really miss it. Time Team brought archaeology to the publics attention (including mine) and will be sorely missed. May be he could be a Lord? The programme certainly triggered my interest and my wifes interest in Archaeology.

Led by the inspirational Professor Mick Aston and featuring immediately recognisable figures like Phil Harding and Tony Robinson, the show evaluated hundreds of sites over the course of 20 series, several live shows, and countless specials, helping hugely to popularise the field of archaeology before it finally drew to an end in 2013 (see CA 274). When discussing the latest TT episode at work/with friends sadly there doesnt seem to be many others who watch it, Ive always been interested in history so maybe its just me & maybe the young people of today arent being taught that history can be exciting/interesting. So apart from discovering the female cleavage (along with Kleenex tissues) looking for Saxon pottery designed to hold bovine waste, expanding your knowledge of Saxon tea services as well as teaching both Vivian Westwood and Tony & Guy a thing or twowhat other skills have you learned since watching Time Team?

I feel really, really angry about it, he told British Archeology magazine. Why is it that when you get a winning format, which TT clearly is, you get the morons in suits, who obviously havent a clue what the audience want, having to justify their existence by changing things. Phil annoys me at times, by always stealing the limelight when lesser mortals had done the hard graft,but, the highlights were when lesser mortals (IE Raksha, Matt or Ian) had exciting finds and were allowed to show.Victors drawings were more lively and thought provoking than the boring computer graphics.I will start to miss the programme in two years time, when we finally complete seies 20. Phew! I used to love all the research that they put into it. I share your sentiments totally. Condolences on your chronic issue with clever people. Harding trained on various excavations with the Bristol University Extra Mural Department and other bodies from 1966; he has been a professional archaeologist since 1971. Miss TT so much. Just watched a poor programme on Brancaster digfull of errors and poor production. Time Team creator Tim Taylor said they now have enough funds to start work on two new YouTube episodes, with two more in the pipeline. Watched it since the beginning, some great episodes and fantastic digs. Always worked so hard and made sense of sites that could have remained a mystery. We NEED Time Team.

He was an inspiration to me and to so many others. It took on all manner of projects, from the bronze age right through to World War II. Yes please BBC4 or anyone sensible Time Team will always be popular if you listen to Tony (yes I am a fan) Mick and Phil and Helen (yes I am an even bigger fan of these guys). His sharp, charming wit and fresh-faced boyish looks made him the prime target for the historical re-enactment spots on the show. And anyway, why would we want Channel 4 to keep TT? Even after its star began to wane Time Team remained popular. My absolute favorite TV program! Team Team gang were so funny with their understanding of each other and professional approach to their subject, their knowledge of it all and portrayal to the audience was so entertaining, and Tony added an open view to a usually flat subject, with his level headed approach to academics and gave it life. Innit? Very sad to hear Time Team is ending. Just did the same as Leigh trying to find out when the next series is due to start. Who is Mary Ann & what does she bring to the table? Sir Tony Robinson, who is an honorary patron, says: I was delighted to hear about the plans for the next chapter in Time Teams story. Their presentation skills are very good indeed and could develop even more if the programme continued (not with Channel 4 please); eg Tracey, Jimmy, Susannah, not to mention Raksha, Matt, Paul, Helen, John and Stuart, all of whom are young enough to take over from the elder statesmen who could still guest if they do choose to retire one day! If there had been a mission statement for the show during those early days, it would have been the democratisation of archaeology. An absolute feast of mind, interest and the ever curiosity of young and old alike about What lie underneath that humble plot of soil?.TIme Team approached that humble plot we would all like to delve into.they bring that knowledge of how with them and together unveal little glimspes of anothers past which we back bring here, to today.as a reflection and connection.like a mirror between centuries and timesand sunrises and pleasant breezes of a long ago Sunday afternoon, I thought it was the Bi..o presenter the doomed it for sure, brought in because we are all suddenly dumb. Leave it to an insular management team to screw it up. Channel 4 has just axed the best show on tv wont be watching channel 4 again, There will always be someone who knows what we like we to watch. Big Thanks Time Team,will never get tired of watching the shows,fingers crossed you can make some more. A few days later news of Time Teams demise broke in the Guardian. The implementation of Planning Policy Guidance 16 in 1990 enshrined archaeology within the development process and paved the way for todays professional units. The only thing that surprises me is that they didnt include a so called comedian. Its a wonder one isnt constantly tripping over roman floor tiles and Anglo-Saxon wine jugs every time one steps out of ones door. We love Time Team and are astonished at its demise. Time Teams genesis is a well-rehearsed story. Ive loved Time Team since day one, but recently Ive found it becoming a little too cozy. Real shame, feels like Ive lost my friends! Envelopes hidden at strategic points would set challenges along the lines of find the Medieval high street in two hours. TV is going downhill faster & faster. Yet despite bringing the past to life using the familiar ingredients of excavation, landscape survey and reconstructions including Phil felling a tree with a flint axe Timesigns is a very different beast. This series is in my opinion (and hubbys) a satisfying end. Your email address will not be published. The team of Tony, Mick, Phil, Stuart, John, Carenza, Brigid, Guy, etc etc filled me with warmth and satisfaction. We are aiming to reach our target of at least 5,000 patrons by the end of March and well then be in position to dig at least one other site the Iron Age settlement this year and carry out preliminary research on others., Our goal is to create a legacy for these sites, says Taylor, building ongoing relationships with local communities and archaeologists that continue to yield fresh insights. Little surprise she became a history teacher. My politics are not Tony Robinsons or Mick Astons, but both deserve warm congratulations for what they did for archaeology and viewers over two decades.Tony Robinson seems to be largely responsible for the successful populist formula, the zest and the humourand the succinct resumes to stop viewers getting flummoxed., He deserves a knighthood but presumably he would just wrinkle his nose. Hated that glamour woman simply the wrong feel.. Very, very sorry that management mis-handling killed it. I have loved Time Team for years and wish that there were not so many bone heads in Channel 4. Gutted to learn it is no more. As it was said at the start, they had to change it and then when it all went wrong blame someone else. My youngest is 10 and has been a fan from as early as I can remember, he has his own dig at the bottom of our garden and a massive fossil collection. My parents watch it. ** TIME TEAM HAS JOINED PATREON! What is the point of Channel 4, if not to do something different? I have always wondered what happens to all the dirt that the Time Team dig out of their sites after the 3 days of digging? Personal life. I have watched the episode from Barra several times. The fact that TT was the only programme I regularly watched on Channel 4 I am very sad to see it go. Your sorrow will be eased by the sight of a few old, friendly faces. There are only about a thousand signatures so far.Personally, although I have signed, I dont think it will do much good. ARE THEY NUTS? I loved Mick and Phil and Stuart et all, picking on Matt for any rotton job. You only have to look at the demographic to see that a model was not going to be an asset to TT. Apparently, there was plenty of dirt being dug off camera, thanks largely to the people up top. and spoke about his decision to adopt a vegan diet. If you ever wanted to check anything academically, you ran a brick wall which amply demonstrated it was seen by C4 as a Reallity show, complete with Dymock shots. Have just watched the very last episode of my beloved Time Team And feel desperately sad.. I for one will not watch any new episodes. TT was an outstanding program. In relation to earlier comments concerning Mr Robinson, all I can say is that if he was patronising us then it must have been a residual echo of Baldrics most cunning plan. Goodbye, Time Team, and thank you. And, unlike Phil and Mick, one didnt long to give her a haircut!! Tony was the right man to present, no doubt about that. I was surfing the internet to obtain correct titles for some episodes that I recorded earlier. The most detailed description dates from around 50 BC in the Commentarii de Bello Gallico, a first-hand account of the Gallic Wars, written as a third-person narrative by Julius Caesar. It is the ONLY program I think worth watching in all the rubbish put on these days ! Well said, Paul! I still watch the series on U-tube. But its also the fact that they didnt just impart accumulated knowledge, they made new discoveries as we watched. Yes, really hope so! But would be top stuff if BBC 4 could pick it up and get things back on track. Margie, NZ Channel 4 obviously think we are all brain dead morons who need to watch the endless mind numbing soaps or the even more pathetic American rubbish that now dominates our screens. I am looking forward to the Village Dig series, when it eventually comes to the small screen. Its all happening ere Tony. Speaking to Express.co.uk, Tony said he won't be. I watch any that come on now.. saw one yesterday about the digging our of the 2 world war planes in the bogs.. In 1966, while still at school, he attended a training excavation by Bristol University Extra Mural Department in Fyfield and West Overton. So why could it not continue on and evolve in 2013 ?

Subscribe to Current Archaeology the UKs favourite archaeology magazine and like thousands of other people you too can get details of all the latest digs and discoveries delivered to your door, every month. But, as always with Time Team, the adventure is in the discovery of the secrets of the past, whatever they are!, Landowner Martin Fiennes a cousin of actors Ralph and Joseph Fiennes, and explorer Sir Ranulph says: Were delighted to welcome Time Team to Broughton.

Envisioned as a quiz show in the vein of Challenge Anneka running on BBC 1 from 1989 to 1995 the team were called on to solve archaeological mysteries while racing against the clock. Whether or not Aston was casting aspersions at the new host, but the timing of his comments about the show becoming 'dumbed down certainly appeared to be pointed in that general direction, or at least lumping Ochota in with what he saw as detrimental changes. And now it has been pulled, left to the re-marketing of DVD, and the Internet. Just recently I saw a show about Egypt using satellite infra red survey archaeology that could reveal all the subsurface features accross a whole landscape. What that will show in Britain will start another flood of interest in archaeology with all local likely sites of archaeology being revealed.. Time team might be gone but something like it will be back pretty quick I suspect. Hopefully some other channel will take up the format eventually. What is Ward 41 Victoria Hospital Kirkcaldy? Dont judge based on the rubbish you get over there. He became a familiar face on the Channel 4 television series Time Team. All the repeats are still amazing, I also watch ime team every day without fail. The programs were never the same when Mick wasnt on. But it is not just a love-in for no reason: archaeology has benefited and received significant results out of the show. time team has over the years discovered great things. It remains my all time favourite reality TV show and I really miss it. Lois & Tara, Australia The team also included the likes of surveyors Stewart Ainsworth and Henry Chapman, illustrator Victor Ambrus, and fellow archaeologists Helen Geake and Phil Harding, and gradually the show began to grow its following, introducing a whole new audience to archaeology. Never screened and reputedly lost in the Channel 4 vaults, this pilot captured a show that was as radically different to Timesigns as it was to later Time Team episodes. It used to be on in the early evening at a specific time every week, but in recent years it has been moved to late afternoon with the start time changing by 5, 10, 15 minutes over the weeks making watching and even recording it more problematic. Years earlier, Sir Mortimer Wheeler did some Archaeology pgms on TV and they were always popular. Our investigation of the villa and the landscape it occupies will aim to preserve and enrich our understanding of the past and the people who inhabited it. This will give viewers the chance to engage as the shows are researched and developed, see live blogs during filming, watch virtual reality landscape data at home and join in Q&As with the team.

I am thrilled that TT is returning in 2022, but saddened that Phil, Raksha and Tony will not be participating. This article is 10 years old but like a spoiler. Taylor says, It would have been great to show Basil Brown the new technology, which enables us to see 3D images of the archaeology underground, allowing us to precisely target our excavation., Taylor continues: This dig signals the start of a fascinating new chapter for Time Team. Cancellation. It seems there was no need for one before Womens Studies and all those other nonwhite studies. I found it much preferable to the Planet Earth shows of David Attenbrough. I too have enjoyed Time Team and am amazed that it has been scrapped. Although I partly agree with Geoff Stelling regarding both the departure of Mick and sidelining Phil somewhat, I do think that the young archaeologists in this the last series show a great deal of promise (Jimmy, Tracey, Susannah, for example) and we are being unfair to their input to be so critical. I have several friends who are serious archaeologists who have been dismissive of this program over the years, some of their comments about the lack of time for each dig are valid. John and his team must have walked miles. I really loved the show and learned so much. I still enjoy my archaeology despite my age not being able to take part in the reality. Channel 4 you need looking at!!! Mick Aston was a remarkable person intelligent and well informed but still able to get complicated concepts across in an way that was accessible to all.

The Aussie fans are disappointed too that T T will be finishing up. It excited the viewers, gave a good history of The United Kingdom, and made one waiting for the next episode, all due to the enthusiasm and clever programming of the show. Ridiculous. A great series, I still watch old repeats and will enjoy them for a long time. It may not have been archaelogical perfection but it did make archaeology appealing to many and did digs that no one had the funds or interest to do. I am still watching episodes on Yesterday that Id somehow missed. my point in this is, why try to fix it if it aint broke change is not always as good as a rest. RIP Mick Aston I wonder whether the viewing figures took in the worldwide audience I know lots of people watched and enjoyed it here in Australia. I remember John Gater and his long beard. i say dont be too quick to make a stupid decision. .As always it will, I supposed be replaced by some run of the mill program, American sit com or soap. I thought the programmes inspiring and my grief was genuine at its loss of experts like Mick Aston and the programmes ending.The occasional sighting of a long lost member like Carenza Lewis in a published Report makes me wish for the experience as it unfolded once again. Many a critic was silenced by seeing the team in action. While filming Timesigns, Tim and Mick regularly discussed other ways to bring archaeology to a television audience. I used to go into a hole with a size 9 shovel and spent nearly 33 years digging around obstacles like gas, electric, sewers, to name a few and I can assure you that I did not have the patience of some of this team. If they wont reinstate Time Team ,then why not release All episodes in a DVD BOX set . Mick played a less prominent part in Time Team after an episode of illness in 2003, and in 2012 he left the programme after criticising a reduction in its academic standards. i never knew this show was available as the colonies never mentioned it. Lee. I love archeology, and it was so educational seeing how it is done. From Phils glee over Stone Age flints, Tonys wisely playful and challenging banter, Micks sage hand on the digs tiller, Johns gentle determination to get the best cartography the technology can provide, Franciss round house fireside mussing on an Iron Age mans joys in life and Stuart goes walk about so we can get the lay of the land and know our place in it was amazing, every bit of it.
