[@BotsWeekendCovers]

This group of "Misfits" are a National Treasure and always will be. RIP Mick....

[@Gremriel]

And Beric, and Robin, and Victor

[@aaronkelly4255]

im 52 and have watched TT since I was 15 in High School. One of the best shows ever made - hands down. ALL of the cast deserve to be honoured... Prof Mick Aston was such a intelligent, crafty and funny guy....RIP

[@maggiebrinkley4760]

Time Team got my children interested in history, it was required viewing when they were young.

[@Gulja80]

One of the healthiest and coolest educational show ever. :)

[@TheDarthSoldier]

I love that time team has continued on youtube doing new videos and digs

[@benediktmorak4409]

It always and still amazes me, from just looking at bits and bobs and lumps and bumps, what the experts, and they ARE experts, could come up with.

[@jimstrange3475]

God i miss these guys.

[@MichaelAbbott-sl2di]

There's new digs on you tube. They are fantastic.

[@kittyr6534]

33:53 - did I hear John Gater say “we need Stewart”? 😊

[@dragonmaid1360]

2024 and I see Tony sporting an earring. Lol that made my day in the future bright. Omg look how young phil and sue look. And mic looks exactly the same age as he ever was.

[@thomasbell7033]

Sue made a cameo appearance in one of the new episodes, or maybe it was on the TT You Tube channel with Dani. She doesn't appear to have aged a day.

[@Ponto-zv9vf]

I don't know, he seems to have been trimmer, and his unkempt hair had dark bits in it.

[@LonePonderer]

can we just talk about how good TV was on a late sunday afternoon for a while? Time Team? Scrapheap Challenge? Stargate SG-1? Enterprise?

[@BrianandMoe]

Too funny to see Tony- Phil so young! Like a time warp! Good show though!

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

When you can date episodes just by looking at Tony's hair.

[@brambam]

Mick looking exactly the same as ever lol

[@FreeFallingAir]

How these years have flown by...*sigh*

[@TimStoker23]

The Young lad with the black eye towards the end. I miss those days

[@ChambersWineandTravel]

Never gets old.

[@ohmpoingpoing]

Love this show. It has inspired me to create a similar team for Dungeons and Dragons.

[@madderhat5852]

I'm so happy to see these early episodes for the first time. I just looked at Google maps today Oct '24 and it hasn't really change as far as I can see. No walkway or parks.

[@Ponto-zv9vf]

Money.

[@miarrem]

At least there isn't a high rise or an ugly housing development

[@AaronOBryan60]

Incredible finds…How exciting

[@tangie777uk]

Love it. Thank you

[@riseandshinejp]

Roman criteria for a fort: A cross roads you can tax and a river.

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

Those are also perfect spots for a medieval castle. And even for early modern castles.

[@billlucas8124]

you know its an early episode because Tony still has some hair!

[@Ponto-zv9vf]

That's life. Phil Harding said that at the time he left the show he was past it, physically to get into holes shifting mud.

[@leannebowman9329]

Everyone looks so young!

[@AnnaAnna-uc2ff]

Thabk you.

[@Saor_Alba]

I remember watching this 27 years ago.

[@harrisonwilkinson4986]

After spending two weeks in the woods seeing Tony walking through that underbrush at the start had me very concerned about ticks… like I’ve been dealing with for like two weeks now 🤣

[@TIOCI_0]

I thought the same but tick infestation there was less likely 30 years ago. Sigh.

[@thebimblewizard1242]

I'm stunned that the blacksmith quenched that blade in water.

[@PaulMahon-w2b]

It's how it was done before they made better methods 😊

[@elizabethcornwell4156]

Why is Odessy using a picture of Warkworth Castle in Northumberland,to advertise a programme about a castle in Malton,North Yorkshire!?

[@mika72.-Bois]

Geographically lost &/or uninformed!

[@marilyncuaron3222]

A castle by any other name . . .

[@ZootC]

Because they have no interest or knowledge of the subject matter. They don't even have the right to post the content. They have taken an entire episode of Time Team, for which there is a rights-holder and it's very easy to find them, and reposted it without comment, alteration, or offered any contribution ( rendering fair use no defence ) for the sole purpose of monetisation. I suggest if anyone wants to view this kind of work going forward with the people who are at least attempting to keep it alive that they only do so via @TimeTeamOfficial

[@Ponto-zv9vf]

Maybe it looks good, like a castle, when there's nothing but a treed hill.

[@TheScandoman]

Don't even need to watch the video to answer the question in the title: Location, Location, Location!

[@kevinjoyce7225]

Why was the picture of Warkworth castle.

[@Ponto-zv9vf]

That Stewart chap had a lot of hair, I didn't recognize his except for the accent.

[@rainydaylady6596]

What's their cunning plan? 🙂🖖💕

[@saffieification]

hahaha how old is this 20 years at least look how young Sir Tony is 🤣

[@MTB214]

He’s on a new episode of Time Team in 2024. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hYrXh6l7fJ1nZ5Ysi=JOdxz0uT5qZmbZ51

[@Pavewy]

The older episodes are some of the best and my favorites. I like watching the ones from the 90's when no one is on a cellphone and the computers are from the infancy of the computer revolution.

[@Ambassador_Gkar]

1997, if I'm reading the Latin right 🤨

[@brettmuir5679]

I have a cunning plan Come on guys, have none of you watched "Black Adder.

@@brettmuir5679 I have started to watch it less than 5 years ago. Its funny.

[@adelwulf8864]

I'm still trying to work out why the thumbnail has Walkworth castle in it.

[@thenefyncat6970]

That's a question that could be asked about Tomen Y Mur. Well, I did, anyway.

[@Hinata.Sakaguchi]

which season and episode is this??

[@mika72.-Bois]

A commentator said it dates from 1996!!

[@L0N3W0LF1]

The lady with the wall in her back yard looks just like princess Diana

[@Ponto-zv9vf]

She had a wall within a wall. At least she was interested in it's age.

[@Cool5380]

Not a suprise recyceling popular land and monuments is not new just look at the acropolis and many more!

[@shawgeasland2096]

How old is this episode? These guys are so much younger than any of the time team episodes I have seen. I mean Phil has sandy brown hair. Not wispy white hair.

[@Pavewy]

1996.

[@richardruff8712]

July 1996.... When we were ALL much younger....

[@1davidpeter]

Why is this advertised with a picture of Walkworth Castle Northumberland?

[@Ponto-zv9vf]

Some asked that before. What do you expect? There's nothing but a hill with trees. Now that's exciting.

[@MrNooneseesme]

Where is this ?

[@keithsimon2650]

Robin Bush ❤

[@margaretmcallister5422]

The thumbnail on KZbin's listing of this (as at Nov 2024) shows Warkworth Castle. They shouldn't muck about like that. It doesn't do the detailed work of the TT real justice.

[@AnnaAnna-uc2ff]

First aired 2 February 1997

[@cooljets]

Location,location.

[@Garwfechan-ry5lk]

2000 years of English History, Bollocks again!

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

Why did they build there? Well, the romans thought it was a good sport for fortifications, and that didn't change in the ages afterwards.

I had a look at the location on Google maps. They haven't done anything in the area and looks the same even after all these years. Shame

[@lindathomas5500]

Would have been a lot faster if they had used half a dozen people with scythes!

[@brettmuir5679]

Tiresome goes the rinds of conversatio .

[@Ponto-zv9vf]

You know that it is hard for humans to just bond as a workforce, so some joking, some bitching and some chit chat. It breaks the ice. Mick was quite an irascible fellow, lovable but prickly. Phil is sarcastic in his Wessex way. Tony is impatient and wants finds straight away. Stewart likes to disagree. They are different, just must work together.

[@Ponto-zv9vf]

I do like the show, and the people in it. I just feel that a few sherds, stone walls and ditches are not the most exciting archaeology for me. I can't help thinking how we humans like to destroy the work of previous generations, everywhere you go Rome, parts of France, Britain and other countries there's nothing left but footings and a bit of wall. Gold and silver finds don't interest me.

[@59Marcel]

Bureaucrats haven't really changed have they. Tick the boxes and get in the way.

bro those finger nails are knarley

[@Ponto-zv9vf]

Some of them are quite long. I work in my back garden, and my finger nails are terrible.

Why Was This Medieval Castle Built On Top Of An Ancient Roman Fort? There's a reason military orders begin with "GROUND".

Why is he a sir❓ never liked him

[@RatelHBadger]

You must be a distant relation of a Blackadder then.

[@debbiedavis-polimeni5785]

He received his knighthood for public and political service in 2013

[@marilyncuaron3222]

Too bad for you‐ - Sir Tony is in his 70s and still going strong. UK's most loved presenter.

[@Ponto-zv9vf]

A lot of people do. I have never met him, so I neither like nor dislike the man. As for Knighthoods, it is a silly tradition.

[@romullen3971]

Always so ... disappointing.

[@Ponto-zv9vf]

I am always disppointed, but it is because nothing much turns up. Anglo-Saxon post holes are not exciting at all.
