Time Team have been called in by Dr Helen Geake to investigate the site of an early Medieval burial in Norfolk that has unearthed some incredible finds. Can the team relocate the grave and is it the site of a larger cemetery? We have just three days to find out!

Bless Paul's heart. Had a serious battle with throat cancer but frankly I think his mechanical voice sounds just like him, just a little scratchier than normal. Maybe our old Paul Blinkhorn with laryngitis. Hang in there Paul. Glad to see you back.

If you were honest, you'd admit that it sounds nothing like him.

So happy Time Team is back and rolling along like no time has passed at all. Everyone is a little older, greyer, wiser, but their love of history and genuine friendship with each other is unchanged. Mick would be overjoyed to see the Tempus Grex still bringing to light the wonders of history.

I can’t tell you the joy that this programme brings me. Thank you to all involved in reviving an absolutely fantastic show. In a world of Love Island and other plastic fantastic rubbish, it’s such a relief to view something educational, gripping and fascinating. I say this as a 30 something year old who fondly remembers Time Team as a child, (not a 70 something year old reminiscing about about days gone by!)

[@jamestaylor2920]

Well Sir, as a 60 something ruminating about the days of Mick & Phil, I say good on you for appreciating the wonders of discovery! History is filled with old aged teachers forever lecturing on the past. Pay attention, learn from these masters, and pay your dues. Maybe one future date will find you trying to pass on your hard earned knowledge to enlighten youngsters with short attention spans. May you accomplish this with the passion and love of history these teachers lavished upon you.

[@sharonkaczorowski8690]

@@jamestaylor2920As a 72 year old former teacher, social scientist and liver of history, I couldn’t agree more. And, as a student of history and human behavior, days gone by are vital to understand history, unless you want to repeat what is worst in human behavior and learn from what is best.

[@erikbertram6019]

I love how Helen Geake was so worried about not having found anything, while they had already uncovered a burial. So many Time Team episodes were just finding stains in the ground and I still loved those episodes too. This dig has already over delivered, looking forward to episode 2!

[@anna_in_aotearoa3166]

Agreed! Really interesting observation by Helen, though... A lot of pressure indeed bringing in not just the experts & excavators but all the film & support crew too! I feel like the old TT format (with Tony often over-dramatically moaning about how they'd "found nothing", in the face of considerable excavated evidence) must perhaps have been especially stressful for people who invited them in to particular locations? Appreciate the fact that the reincarnated team doesn't seem to be going for quite that same level of hype & snark.

[@bunnylovenuts8680]

I don't know about you but I really love these new (and old) Time Team shows - maybe hit the thumbs up to help them out. It can't hurt, right? Cheers all and thanks to those involved in bringing us this fine and entertaining viewing.

What a treat to be able to watch new Time Team episodes. There has never been a more worthy use of my Patreon subscription. That moment towards the end with Carenza trying to not be emotional upon the spoil heap find of a belt buckle was brilliant; thank you for leaving that in. I wish nothing but success for you all.

As a long time follower of Time Team (since it was on Discovery in Sweden late 1990's) these new episodes shows just how brilliantly the show has progressed. To me as a Scandinavian it not only gives perspective on how the world was connected long ago; I also love and learn so much from the different English accents presented on the show. Did I say I really like how people speak? Would love to have some more insight to how the languages have changed over the years.

[@AppalachiaRRlover]

I love that Helen is in charge she is awesome but I miss Phil and his hat and of course Sir Tony!

[@kvarietyfan]

THIS!!!!!! This episode is everything the original had at it's best. Perhaps it is the passion the Saxon period brings out in archeologists. On top of that, there's the fusion, of history that ties into the period the site dates too , and the details of what they were looking for. A ring ditch, but not a deep one. Only 10 to 15 cm deep. The artifacts were okay, but the information, and the fact that it wasn't lecture hall narration are what sets this one as a great dig. I'd be perfectly happy with one stain in the earth, and a piece of daub, if every episode had this style of presentation.

[@CHCLA6779]

Completely in love with thge new Time Team. I can hardly wait for Day 2. So happy to see so many from the original taking part. Including wonderful Paul Blinkhorn. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I think that in the original series Sir Tony played the role of everyman, the questions we ourselves might have asked or the doubts we might have expressed. As the series progressed Sir Tony knew a great deal and was no longer everyman because he was learning along with us. He still played the role quite well. Dr. Gus could not play the role of everyman because he wasn't everyman, he was an educated professional. Just as they couldn't clone Phil but Matt does a great job they couldn't clone Sir Tony but Dr. Gus does a great job.

Proud Patreon supporter 🤓

[@Wally-H]

When I was studying Anglo-Saxon history at university in the 1990's, I remember one of my lecturers (Professor Richard Gameson) telling us in a seminar that there were almost certainly many more high-status burial mounds all over East Anglia, but these were hidden due to the fact they've been flattened by ploughing. At the time we were studying the Sutton Hoo burial and he was pointing out that it was far from unique - it just seems so because it was intact. This is a perfect example of what he was talking about and I'm sure there are more still waiting to be discovered.

Goodness, that was an interesting episode! Very much looking forward to the next two parts (and hooray we don't have long to wait now!). With all of the background and context it really didn't feel like an episode with very few finds - and I actually got slightly emotional when it was mentioned that the lady's bones hadn't been properly examined before, over the shot of Jackie and Naomi going to do so. This has also stoked the flames of my curiosity about our own tiny village, believed to be the meeting place of the hundred (indicated by place name, field names, and topographical features) but so far only three definite Saxon brooches have been found across the parish. I would so love to find out the likely origins of occupation here.
