Me too! TT has never let me down. The new show has really hit its stride with this dig. Congratulations and Happy Birthday TT gang! Here’s to another 30 years of archeological greatness.

[@girlnorthof60]

I couldn't be more proud 😁 Joining Time Team Patreon is one of the best decisions I've ever made. Pat/Yukon, Canada

[@CroneLife1]

I was critical of Gus and his demeanor at the beginning. He seemed too gentle and cerebral to be able to pass along the excitement that I had come to associate with Time Team due to Tony's energetic style. However, I was wrong. Yes, the styles are very different; but Gus has come into his own here, and the rest of the team - old and new - are just a pure delight. The networks could take lessons from Time Team on how television *should* be done; how it doesn't have to be dumbed down to be entertaining, educational, and delightful. I am so happy that they are here.

[@mikekuppen6256]

I disliked the last two seasons of the original Time Team when the original team had all but been replaced by people seemingly picked for how well-groomed they were. I´m so glad I found the Time Team channel again, to reconize some of the old faces, and to see new ones that clearly have the same passion for the subject I loved in the original series.

[@TheSilentPrince-mt5mx]

@@mikekuppen6256 I recently bought the DVDs of those final two series'. Se19 is quite painful to watch at times, especially as Mick Aston is so obviously disenchanted with the way things are going. It's still better than a lot of TV but Mary Ann Ochota and Alex Langlands don't really fit in. Se20 sees them gone again with Francis Pryor taking on the role of lead archaeologist on most shows. It's a bit stripped back in terms of production but much better, content wise, than Se19. I've also started picking up the DVDs of any earlier series' because the 'Classics' channel is missing episodes from Se12-18. I wish they could show something from Se1-11 because there are some good episodes in there.

the blk guy is usless sounds as though hes telling bedtime stories 2 kids,,,,hasent a touch on TONY,,, 2 many queers,,the new guys remind me of a bunch of navies

[@MrNeroDiablo]

As an enjoyer of the previous iteration of this show I feel compelled to comment on Dr Gus has grown into the role of main narrator extremely well IMO. Not falling into the trap of replicating the previous version and managing to improve on the role and enhancing viewing experience.

[@fugithegreat]

His voice is quite soothing and pleasant! It's best to be oneself rather than attempt to be a new Tony, which is impossible.

[@Gandalf22476]

He really is growing into the role his own way. He has grown on me significantly!

[@Toxilyn]

Oh man that end with the tents and cars stuck in mid had me laughing. I love how real this show is on so many levels. And I love you included that. I am so happy you are back creating Time Team. Thanks for an other brilliant episode!

[@samgunn12]

I love this longer three part/three day format. 👍

[@clairharwood]

Me too!

[@JulianneTure]

Nice shout-out to Phil Harding!

[@donnagray1988]

I miss Phil

[@Becca2334]

Me too

[@Becca2334]

Let’s pound our trowels on the table and chant…”We want Phil”

[@RupaRishima]

Might be my favorite part of the show.

[@marilynmunro5838]

As for him tuning in - the Phil I knew refused to have a tv. 🙂

[@CharlesLeigh-Smith-lm1yz]

It’s programmes like Time Team that keep us grounded and connected to our historical landscape. Given the time limits, really interesting archaeology. Excellent presentations by host and senior team. So nice to see everyone providing their expertise on site and in real time. Five stars to Emily and her camera teams, and of course to Tim, a creative genius. Danielle’s regular updates compliment the main show. Happy Birthday!

[@Angayasse]

I've been watching Tt for more than 20 years and i love every one of the team, but I am really getting to love Gus. He had a very difficult job, stepping into the footprints of a giant, and he does it brilliantly! His voice is soft and sweet, his smile contagious, he is clearly loving what he does. I hope we will see many many more episodes with him. Go on old and new team!

[@workingguy-OU812]

A bit too soft of a voice.

[@clairharwood]

Agree! Gus is fantastic! Adds to the relaxing vibes of Time Team perfectly.

[@marial8235]

@@clairharwood I too enjoy Gus’ style.

[@Rocsanna]

Gus is lovely!

[@DianeJones-fm4fp]

It's good to see something that isn't completely resolved at the end of three days - feels like real life. I hope we get the chance to see what happens in the future, Derek??

[@CHCLA6779]

Fabulous. Simply fabulous. I hope more exploration and discovery happens at this site - it is obviously so rich and so worthyt of future study. Thank you, everyone, for a fantastic three days.

[@elizabethneill3825]

Me, too.

[@annwagner5779]

The beginning, not the end - wonderful words! What a complex, fascinating story they are discovering on Derek’s family’s farm! I’m sorry the diggers had to deal with flooded tents, though. Take care, Time Teamers!

[@judithcooke6979]

Happy 30th Birthday Time Team, and many more. Everyone seems so comfortable together and have achieved amazing results. Thanks very much for everything you do.❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉

[@insultantable]

Bravo, the end credits enlightened me as to how many people, organisations and skills were involved in this dig. Thank you very much. I'll watch it again and again. Long live Time Team.

[@mkilner]

When he said 500 Winters that struck home how time is fleeting, but I’m enjoying every minute of these new episodes! 😌👏🏻🐾

[@tankgirl2074]

3 for 3 on the production of this dig. Instead of dumbing the information down, letting archaeologist explain the site through their excavations has made it very enjoyable. The use of hypothesis of usage (kiln) then tested through water filtration to prove or disprove those hypothesis was a good demonstration of how different aspects of archaeology come into play to understand site usage. Sadly, the conclusion is the standard 'made for tv' ending of grander speculation than is warranted. 5 out of 5 for the demonstrated archaeology, 2 1/2 out of 5 for the conclusion.

[@RobBoudreau]

I think Derek did a great job as lead on this dig. Wonderful seeing Jackie, Miles and Phillipa again. The new digs just get better and better! 👍

[@1972tommyc]

And Miles got to wear his favorite flap-eared hat!

[@Gandalf22476]

Agreed!

[@dodo1opps]

Is Francis Pryor still around?

[@tessjuel]

@@dodo1opps Francis Pryor is still alive but only a month from his 80th birthday as I write this. So he's officially retired even though he do occasional TV appearances and still writes books.

[@bellabec31]

Time Team is my addiction, it's helped me through many a day of illness and pain. Although I would love the classic channel to put up every episode of every season. I'm in Australia so unlock those that won't play in my zone. Keep these wonderful digs coming 30 years of fascinating history. Happy Anniversary TT. Keep them coming.

[@jedtattum9996]

once again i click like before it's even started.

[@thomasbell7033]

Don't we all. It's simply shameful.

[@andyyoung9037]

Finding Time Team on KZbin and watching with herbal tea before I go to sleep is magic. Very therapeutic

[@Hamiltonharty]

fantastic 30th anniversary episode! This really is my favorite kind of time team, it's difficult ephemeral archaeology that really requires the highest level of expertise and brings to bear the highest level of scientific scrutiny. This kind of stuff that really works towards answering difficult questions about every day people about whom there is next to no written history is really the heart of what modern archaeology is all about. Evaluating sites like these in tight time constraints is what archaeologists really train for and getting as much information as you can to study in the post excavation analysis is a real treasure. As Mick Aston pointed out when pitching the concept, most evaluation excavations are only given that much time if even that and often with far fewer resources, the goal is to get as much as you can to study and hopefully protect the site for future generations. Time team is no doubt an invaluable resource for archaeological work in Britain and a fantastic inspiration for archaeologists everywhere!

[@steve-0493]

Happy 30th to ALL the team , Past,present,and to the future!! For TIME TEAM !!🎂✌️🥃😁

[@allisonarmtrong3891]

Happy 30th birthday, Time Team!

[@ramonaausterman9620]

Thank You, Time Team!

[@mariewaters9346]

This is an absolute classic Time Team at its best.

[@HomesteadViewin]

Thank you so much Time team. Excellent episode as usual.

[@davidwilkinson333]

Great stuff as always. TT never disappoints! The friendly cooperative atmosphere is always regreshing these days and shows how much humanity can achieve when we all pull together with a smile 😊

[@CarryOnChronically]

What an absolutely wonderful dig. I love the 3 separate episodes over the weekend. I’m so proud to be a patreon. That weather was something else. 😂❤ Edit: I absolutely love they way you incorporate the team into the artwork and 3D models. Such a lovely idea 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@richardtippett729]

Really enjoying the new format, I particularly lke the handdrawn recreations much nicer than sterile old computer reconstructions. The highlight of this episode for me was seeing John Gater pushing a wheelbarrow.

[@maudieg8459]

Can’t wait to see the next dig. I’ve learned so much from watching Time Team. It just gets better and better.

[@kleofantozia]

Thank you for being great for incredible 30 years. Thank you for moving to youtube (I have been following you from Slovakia for decades). Thank you for inspiring my crazy archeology themed dreams. ♥️

[@paulwoodward5322]

That was great, I do admire the honesty when they say they are unsure, better than just guessing.Thanks roll on to the next one. cant wait

[@W4iteFlame]

I love the ending) a bit of the behind the scene stuff is always nice to see

[@HomesteadViewin]

Whoop Whoop. New Time Team!!!!!

[@ianfleming4356]

Time team on Sunday night, perfect

[@diananelson3702]

The weather strikes again. Awesome episode. Looking forward to seeing if Naomi's investigation is enlightening.

[@elizabethneill3825]

Me too.

[@gerbrand8132]

Good evening, How nice that there are new Time Team episodes. I am a big fan. What strikes me is that it is all a bit relaxed, which is nice. Nothing against Tony Robinson, but he was quite hectic at times. Keep up the good work.

[@markbishop5044]

Very good. A hard and wet dig but with excellent overall results. The iron smelting was especially good. More please!

[@lilykatmoon4508]

These are some of my favorite digs. I love seeing how land use changed with time, and how the ordinary, hardworking rural resident was the backbone of the larger economy. I hope Time Team revisits this site or we get an update from Derek.

[@ceanothus_bluemoon]

Another wonderful dig in a stunning setting next to Corfe Castle and the Swanage Railway. Despite the deluge on day 3, you all did so much amazing work. Hopefully as was said at the end, work will now continue on this fascinating site. Do please keep us updated!

[@fraeris68]

I really wish Time Team could come to Norway. .

[@dereksanders7905]

There is only one word to describe the 'new' Time Team: Wonderful! So great to see so many of the original team members involved and the new team members are an absolute joy!

[@TheTiffanyAching]

Fabulous. Happy to be a Patreon supporter of Time Team. Keep up the great work!

[@klondikechris]

Although I live in the far northwest of Canada now, I am from Wool, 15 kilometers from Corfe Castle. This was the closest Time Team to my roots! I can remember visiting Corfe Castle on my last trip back. It is very cool to see what my life might have been like back then.

[@barbarasolomon5434]

It is an excellent "true" time team dig.

[@philipsquire9056]

Marvelous, so much to like here!

[@terryt.1643]

In the 1st episode I saw some wool teasels growing wild and I said wool works! In the 3rd a shale spindle whorl found. Yea! Carding, spinning and perhaps fulling? Love Time Team!

[@girlnorthof60]

Outstanding work, everyone 🙌 I was hanging on every word, a HUGE grin on my face... Thank you Derek, Lawrence & the entire Time Team Crew. You brought us a belter... 🤟😁

[@TheMightyAntar]

Another brilliant adventure. Thanks everyone at Time Team.

Dr Casely-Hayford, 20:29: the last person in the UK who still says "there are" for plural things, instead of the now ubiquitous "there's" 👏👏👏

An amazing production. Thanks.

[@KernowekTim]

Superb. Bravo Team, you are a class unit, in my opinion. "Pub!" Next!.......

[@MarkSchlagenhauf65]

Another enjoyable 3 days. Time team is awesome.

[@user-ip26lyh31q]

I just love wondering, how things were way back, and the rain soaking you gives a very realistic view of what they lived with. Thanks very much.

[@Lanxe]

Awesome work - I'm very happy to keep contributing to keeping Time Team running. Looking forward to the next one!!

[@peetyw8851]

So much to contemplate and absorb. Instructional all along the way. And, seriously, ending with the drama of leaving through the sodden landscape is something we can all relate to, scientist or not.

[@ledacedar6253]

Brilliant work everyone of you And it’s so reliably enjoyable hearing characters explain professional knowledge, concerns and work as a team . No Hollywood makeup. Importantly wholesome British folks we viewers get to enjoy your 3 days. Love the closing too. Awesome 👏

[@kvarietyfan]

Good episode. One of those digs that shows that not every site will give all of it's secrets up in three days. Definitely a lot more work can be done there. Not anyone's fault that there's a very complex story to untangle. LoL

[@helencrossing3282]

Just love it! I am addicted to watching time team. Fascinating. And amazing how you are able to weave a story around the finds. Amazed at the skill of archeologists and. their perseverance under such terrible conditions.

[@anonyymi7630]

I think Mick Aston would be proud of the new Time Team. Hope you can get Phil to make an appearance at some point.

[@Memento2mori]

BRAVO TT! Thank you 👏👍😊

[@thesilentfuzz]

Love the Mick doll & pissed off dog. Great dig guys!

[@elizabethneill3825]

I really enjoyed this dig and that Lawrence said that evidence of industrial activity would found and so it was. (Was the orange clay evidence of burning?) I never tired of the aerial shots showing how beautiful this place is. I hope more research will be done on the site. I was so hoping, actually, that there would be some evidence of Anglo-Saxon habitation, but I remember someone saying that absence of evidence is not evidence of absence so I hope that some day some evidence will be found.

[@yewenyi]

You should leave the remnants of your furnace in the ground so that archeologists in 2000 years time can see that the site was reused.

[@sarahwatts7152]

I'm glad they slogged through all that rain to get it done! Love the rendering

[@christaboshoff6782]
