It is so sweet to see how Happy Flint makes Phil... Gorgeous 🥰

[@biologychic7292]

Seeing Phil clutching worked flint like a giddy school girl will never get old. ❤️

[@christinebiada1292]

I love Phil! His positive attitude towards everything!!

Ahahaha! IKR!? 😂😎👍

[@jimherron5540]

Like Sméagol in Lord of the Rings, his precious!

[@davehillard1591]

Find a partner in life who looks at you the way Phil looks at flint😊

[@hollyevolving]

Matt is so competent and likeable, it's nice to see Phil sharing his flint knapping knowledge with him. A worthy successor.

[@cuddersop]

Any episode with Mick AND Francis is a treat ❤

[@DuckReach432]

My favourite bit was the toast, with Phil's cheerful cry of, "death to our enemies!"

[@V.Hansen.]

Phil's accent is a perpetual pleasurable bonus in all these episodes.

[@wysiwyg_m8]

He sounds like Hagrid from Harry Potter.

[@katerinakemp5701]

@@wysiwyg_m8 well Hagrid is a Scotsman and uncle Phil a Wiltshire man.

[@martinirvine9314]

I notice he wasn't interested in drinking the Champagne. Good taste of brown beer for him.

[@-Ripcord-]

Binge watching as many of these episodes I can get my hands on for the last several months. Never gets old. RIP Mick

[@cs_fl5048]

Phil and Ian the Dig have such a relationship... Love it!

[@carola.campbell86]

I love this team. They have enough seriousness, little comedy provided by Phil, beautiful landscape and wonderful finding of ancient findings. Personalities Plus.

[@theknave4415]

I miss Time Team. It was a one of a kind program.

[@JorisKoolen]

Just starting this one, but already so happy to see Mick and Francis together in a prehistory episode!

[@1701enter]

I started watching this programme at the end of my birthday. 20/10 /1957, And what a present this was! I enjoy all of the content of all of the programmes. But I particularly see not only the professional skills in such abundance but also the joy of discovery and even more so the camaraderie of this wonderful group of people how to help us all "see" our history I am so happy every time I watch a new discovery, I have very few regrets in life but one might be I wish I had followed my love of history to a professional standard.

[@daniellerichards1385]

I love these shows so very much!! Thank you for posting these!!!

[@kathycarlson7947]

Another one that takes my breath away. Thank you! Mick and Francis--what a combo!

[@sixxygrrl]

This show has saved me during quarantine. 💜💜💜 I adore Tony, Phil, Mick, Raksha and the rest!!

[@sixxygrrl]

@Thoth Al Khem okay, but when there's nothing open and nowhere to go.... This show filled that gap. 🤷

[@Evilminiature]

@Thoth_al_Khemoh look another unemployed labourer who thinks he knows anything about epidemiology 😂😂😂

[@dorafvela]

i so love watching these shows as well, learning alot about other countries and cultures, gives one a better appreciation for what we have now, and what they all had to go thru so that we can have , what we do. and i love Tony and Phil and all the team.

[@TermiteUSA]

I've looked thru all the comments and replies and no one seems to have mentioned an image at about 17:06 while Mr. Phil is explaining the layers he sees there's a gray stone on the right that looks a heck of a lot like it has a face carved into. Did I miss a comment or am I going batty from too much time indoors? Really love this old show and hope it gets afloat again.

[@CaravelKiwi]

The new team have mighty big boots to fill, to say nothing of Great Expectations, lol

[@christinebiada1292]

It does look like a face in that stone. I probably wouldn’t have noticed except I saw your comment.

[@52daa]

I just mentioned that face like carving, you’re not crazy! Cause I’m not crazy 🤣🤔

[@ernestsstroinovs5692]

Phil, smiling wide: "That is our prehistoric pot"

[@C.Double.]

Time Team reminds me of "my" good old days of educational and fun TV in the 90s... back when the history channel was about um... history. So many good shows back then...

[@michaelrobbins6694]

I've viewed this thrice.. if this is now the Official Time Team Channel.. and credit is paid where due. I'm all for that and bin the others

[@SuzanneCoe]

Has to be the greatest episode, I have watched,🥇, I come from Devon, fantastic and so interesting too.👍👍🥇🥇🥇

[@kenhill5646]

Not Somerset. It's Devonshire. Compelling Sunday evening viewing in the 90s. My wife's jam scones and Time team. Perfect!

[@brettwalters-n4u]

It's nice that Time Team have been brought back and that they are getting to re-release and take back the vast library and rights to this great series one bit at a time and putting them here for all of us to enjoy for free. Happy 2025!

[@carrienania9427]

congratulations 200, what an accomplishment. Love you time team!!!!!

[@Gremriel]

Always nice to watch an episode I haven't seen before (and I have watched most of them)!

[@54mgtf22]

Time Team. My happy place.

[@oxycrimson]

Faye is lovely... and a serious archeologist!

[@robinm3524]

I've been watching this show for a few months.i love British accents..lol..and of course archeology..thanks for posting!

[@peanut71968]

Yes, mistitled but very fun and interesting 🧐 Britton certainly has some ancient history! Thanks guys!

[@mirandamom1346]

“Phil and his merry men...” Ha!

[@matthewnaylor4412]

What a stunning find, beautiful!.

[@mhpupacios]

Was there any analysis of the orientation of the site - eg with rising or setting sun over the annual cycle or planets or stars. That would be a fascinating overlay - particularly as the site runs along an orientation of the valley

[@jacquelinegibson7420]

It really brings home the acceleration of change.

[@AnnaAnna-uc2ff]

Thanks again. One of my favourites.

[@leonthompson3433]

Fantastic, live on Dartmoor, so can find you a couple hundred sites like this if you'd like to come back. Magnificent prehistoric landscape. Great show,

[@peterebel]

Phil drinks beer instead of champagne. Good man.

[@ne0n1880]

Thank you very much

[@garguntoter]

Love it that Phil's bubbly came hopps and other grains and not grapes, lol.

[@RandyH400]

I love the shows thanks

[@glendamears3618]

Congratulations for back in the day 🎉 GREAT stuff 😊❤❤❤

[@johnhanson5943]

Fantastic!

[@terrymcnee3568]

Good old Time Team MUDLARKING Love these People

[@Alastair_]

The fact they added to this feature 4000 years AFTER the original mounds gives you a sense of scale in how long our ancestors practiced their beliefs.

[@harrym9049]

Completely agree. Look at the Ancient Egyptians, they were around for over 6000 years and still worshiped the same gods the entire time. Its just a shame that due to the environment we simply don't know as much about the history of Britain as we do about other parts of the world.

[@AnnaAnna-uc2ff]

Thank you.

[@jimherron5540]

Wonderful episode!

[@danahagele9005]

Good for you

[@annazaman9657]

Not Buck mill. This is Reservoir Rituals

[@tps607]

yep they need to rewrite the title and description...

[@harbourdogNL]

2:53 Francis Pryor speaks for 10 seconds without using the word 'ritual'. Must be a record!

[@Auxius.]

Critics of the show often say this is not real archeology. But it continues to inspire and awe people even after the show has ended. They did history a great service of telling their story to as many people as they could.

[@katerinakemp5701]

Yes it is think the critics expect the archeologists to be here longer than 3days, unfortunately they have a limited timescale as they have fulltime jobs as academics at various universities so only get to dig on weekends.

[@lightwoven5326]

At one time, 75% of the digs were attributed to Time Team. Extraordinary developments and the high regard of the team professionally made this TV series a breakthrough in terms of content and providing a real career path to many. My daughter included.

[@louisl.8724]

could the site be a fish catchment inclosement using rocks?

[@patrickbehrend5403]

I have been binging Time Team for the last two weeks and its a really fantastic programme. I may have developed quite a crush on Faye too.....

[@christinem3914]

This episode is actually called “Reservoir Rituals” and its location is in Devon.

[@mackdarwinian8054]

bummer, no closed caption for this one.

[@hollymunford6857]

Great

[@TheHudsterProxyian]

Nobody: Geophys: We have problems.

I'm afraid this is another mislabeled upload... This is available elsewhere on YT as "Reservoir Rituals" on the Timeline channel

@TimeTeamClassics you forgot to put the season and episode number in the title for this video. Thank you for posting all the old episodes. Also please dont forget to put them in the correct playlists. I often put a playlist on and have it play multiple videos in a row.

I wonder if those "cairns" were where the mule carts dumped their loads of stones.

[@JeffinBville]

Francis is in his element. If he found an outhouse he'd tie it to ritual use.

He could find ritual in my left shoe.

Lol I have a daily ritual with my bog.

*Time Team* I know that times are hard for alot of you right now and if anyone is feeling low or sad I just hope you guys feel better and know you are not alone! I've recently made a song called Imperfect which is probably relatable for alot of you right now made from my personal experiences with a positive message you all should believe! You aren't perfect but I know that your worth it! If it helps uplift or motivate or motivate you in any way please let me know cause it would make my day! I hope things get better for all of you feeling down :)

Excellent episode, but the Title and Blurb have this episode as Buck Mill....

[@iceetmarne3571]

This isnt Somerset its Devon and this is not a mill, it's an iron age causeway in a reservoir if memory serves.

That Tony is hilarious.

[@annk.8750]

This is another one where the episode does not match the description. I'm getting the muddy excavation at the foot of a drained reservoir, not a mill and water wheel. Someone seems to have mixed up the captions!

[@aldoboeddha38]

Please higher resolution, 720 p is average at best. Thanks!

[@thomasbernecky2078]

Why is this mis-labeled: this is not the Buck Mill Domesday episode I'm pretty sure?

[@alienmozart9902]

One day they'll uncover an ancient stone, and it says "I daresay that time travel is a bad idea"

[@GS-lh1se]

Nice that you keep posting the episodes, but use 1080p instead of 720p, please. Timeline did post this episode earlier this year using 1080p so it can't be a case of not having access to good enough material.

[@shayleebell9206]

this is the 200th episode S18E01

How are all of these episodes misidentified and not corrected?

Things I like: Phil talking, Tony swinging his left arm really hard as he walks fast. Things I don't like: talking about the three day thing... Don't care. I'd rather see more trowel work than three day talk.
