Time Team S20-E13 Twenty Years of Time Team

[@Evelyn-ru4bl]

So happy I found this program years later in America. I've watched and rewatched all 20 years!

[@Wally-H]

I do hope these Time Team series never get taken off KZbin by short-sighted, money minded rights owners. Their educational value and legacy should far outweigh any commercial considerations. They need to be available for viewing for students and fascinated armchair enthusiasts, for eternity

[@callmemonkh9020]

Well said.

Preach! This show opened doors to my heritage I never knew existed.

[@Wally-H]

@@bigbensarrowheadchannel2739 Now taken down in the UK. I can reply to your comment here but I can no longer watch the video.

[@Mr.56Goldtop]

@Lefein Noel But it is a very scaled back version, prompting some of the original members not to participate.

[@anti-Russia-sigma]

Thanks for the good series & archaeology.Time Team was & still is the best tv show.

[@jamesd.wheeler6190]

Im a yank that came across this show and I can;t stop watching it! British tv is by far the best!

[@kennashan]

+James D. Wheeler This yank totally agrees with you!! Our tv is all crap, compared to Time Team.

[@jamesd.wheeler6190]

+kennashan Id like to find more good brit tv shows out there! If you know let me know. Escape to the country is very good!

[@kennashan]

If you've not watched Tony's Worst Jobs series, it's wonderful!

[@jamesd.wheeler6190]

+kennashan Thanks I appreciate it! I'll check it out.

[@kennashan]

I would love to hear what you think! If social history interests you, I highly recommend 2 series, Turn Back Time: The Family, and Back in Time for Dinner.

[@gypsyhorsesense]

Ive been such a fan of Time Team for so long, and Black Adder beforehand. And eventhough I'm an American (so sorry), I've been history buff and an amateur archaeologist (as well as a bit of an Anglophile) since highschool long ago, and no, please don't as how long) this show has fed all of those loves. My Very Grateful Thanks.

[@nyxbreen910]

A motley crew you would want to be your mates, is what made this show so special.

[@adriannippy]

RIP Rick Aston . He , Phil Harding and the Tony Robinson were such icons. The Archaeological Top Gear !

[@WmGood]

This 'show' is highly addictive!!!! But, it's a hellava lot more than a show and thanks to KZbin in the States we can enjoy most of them and while the program may have been a novelty at inception, it damn sure was educational and informative and it did heighten awareness of the public. Beautiful!!!

[@anti-Russia-sigma]

You should watch Time Team America.

[@missionpassed4584]

I was 17 when this show started way back in 93/94, I watched the very first Time Team episode and watched almost every episode through the 90s, sadly once I'd got married early on my wifes tv shows dominated and I lost touch with this one, still cant believe it went on many more years without me, I'm divorced now and finally have the time to watch one of my favorite shows once again and Im 43 this year 2020!

[@jdemo7167]

A fantastic 20 year run. Watching everyone grow old plays out just like reality. It really endears the show to us older folks. I for one will miss them all. Thanks for uploading!

[@conorleeson-davis6666]

Miss Time Team so much. Wish they could make programmes like this today instead of all the X Factor, Ex On The Beach, Love Island etc reality crap. This stuff was educational, informative but also, thanks to all the great characters involved in working on the show, was real good fun to watch as well. Teared up watched the Mick segments, what a wonderful man he true was.

[@cecilialofgren1396]

Conor Leeson Oh how I second that!!! Miss it too, very much!

[@Pauldjreadman]

The nearst is Dig Ventures on KZbin.

[@GraemeBT]

Check out Time Team Official. They’re coming back

[@ghomerhust]

2022, Time Team is now back with new episodes, new digs.

[@Happyheretic2308]

Support them on Patreon - new digs this year …

[@nickrich56]

In 20 yrs Tony Robinson and his perennial comic sidekick Phil Harding have taken us from American dinosuars to english Romans. Thanx fellas. and thanx to the uploader of those vids for all to enjoy ...

[@harperoconnor5285]

I wish we had a show like this. It just blows me away to think someone could have 800 year old walls in a garden. Just discovered this show and I'm addicted, 3 shows in. Utterly amazing.

[@jonathaneffemey944]

A genius series. I hope it stays here on You Tube

[@JonettaWakely]

I am an old woman living in Oklahoma in the US. This episode moved me to tears. My Great Grandfather came to the US via Canada toward the end of the 10th century in from Cornwall sparking my interest in the show but I have seen the entire series of Time Team many, many times and will likely continue to do so. The entire cast with a few exceptions are like close and well known friends. I look forward to a renewed interest in new episodes coming out in 2024.

[@CompetitiveAudio]

ABSOLUTELY THE FINEST SHOW EVER ON TELEVISION ANYWHERE...Thanks to all the Time Team members and crew for the memories, the education and the entertainment, warts and all. Most of all my special thanks to the late Professor Mick Taylor and his passion for archeology. Rest In Peace Mick and again Thank You.. Dallas Texas 2015...

[@ebenclukey7293]

That would be Mick Aston. Tim Taylor was TT's producer.

[@monikagrosch9632]

One can’t but love enthusiastic Phil!

[@johnfitzgerald7034]

I personally think that even though we watch these previous Time Team episodes, they never get old and bring a chuckle here and there .what a Great Cast and Science at the same time.

[@jantjeklasen2688]

Thank you for posting all this video's. I eat them all!

[@StephiSensei26]

Amazing what you can learn from such a motley crew and a bunch of desultory stones in a trench! Thank youTT friends!

[@Canuckmom128]

Yes...a big THANKS to the wonderful people who have uploaded Time Team to YT. I'm from Canada, and TVOntario have run some of the more recent years, but I've enjoyed watching the older series immensely, and have developed such an appreciation for Archeologists. Canadians are celebrating 150 years since Confederation this year, and we are a "toddler" of a country compared to the UK ( obviously, Indigenous people were here long before Europeans, but it's just a very different history). Imagine digging a 1 metre pit in your garden and finding Saxon or Roman pottery. Sheesh. This was/is a FANTASTIC program -enlightening, educational, witty, funny and incredibly interesting. I'd love to see it reborn. Gotta say, I get verklemptf when I see Mick in his hand-knit, multi-coloured sweater. What a fabulous guy and superb archeologist. Thank you, Time Team, for making learning a joy !

[@Jigger2361]

... I dig sites that go back to 11,000 BC in Canada lol just fyi but I get your point

[@section8motorpool466]

...and You Tony, did a fantastic job of it!

[@hallets1956]

Have now seen every TT episode and special ever uploaded and learnt more from these shows than I ever did at school. Thank you very much Reijer, your efforts are greatly appreciated..

[@haroldraby]

Reijer Zaaijer; I have completed all twenty seasons and I thank you again for all of your effort. I have a folder full of stuff I have collected from the comments to watch.

[@SandraNelson063]

Time Team gave us all permission to be gobsmacked by the very long story of how we became ourselves. More importantly, it got children involved in the exciting adventure of historical discovery. History isn't just about some unknowable, untouchable mass of people with no bearing on the present; history is about how all of us are connected to each other. Time Team was a completely necessary program that will be deeply missed. God bless Mick.

[@anjaschrieber5060]

I stumbled over this series just a few months ago, and I just love it. Time Team is unique!

[@michaelgabriel7919]

I have been a fan of Time Team since I first came across it a few years ago on KZbin. As a lover of history and archeology, Time Team has been a favorite of mine. It's not only the archeology that keeps me coming back but the cast too. The entire cast and crew make each and every episode an entertaining (and informative) experience.

[@irenehannan4731]

I love watching all the Time Team episodes. That I watched years ago x

[@BobFarnell]

And you guys have really thrilled me for 20 odd years, wonderful series

[@michaelfoster9043]

Have done volunteer archaeology with Passport in Time in USA and Italy with US Forest Service.Just found Time Team on Utube.Enjoyed it very much.

[@susanlegeza7562]

My favoured show these last at least 20 years!!!

[@cac2670]

I loved this series. This video put everything I have watched in perspective as I didn’t start watching until 2 years ago at retirement age! I have loved each series.

[@ellendontigney3917]

Just discovered this show & can't stop watching! Bring Time Team back. It's SO informative & engaging. Heads above all other shows.

[@kathycarlson7947]

Warms my heart, delights my mind

[@zedwms]

The best television ever produced.

[@jcortese3300]

Discovering Time Team on KZbin during the tail end of the pandemic has been one of the best things that's happened to me in years. I'd never even heard of it before then, and now I'm hip-deep in thick tomes about British history and eagerly waiting for the next video drop by the crew. I've watched and rewatched so many episodes, and am always happy to watch again!

[@Mr.56Goldtop]

Such a fantastic program, and they took us all on an incredible ride right along with them! And what a great documentary too!

[@makara80]

For me Phil Harding was perhaps the show's best element because he was naturally charismatic, personable, informative (mercifully conveyed in plain English too!) and humorous. Such enviable qualities endeared him to audiences and enabled him to _spark_ particularly well with Tony I thought. .....by stark contrast however, Time Team also occasionally captured the more tempestuous, mordant side to Phil's personality whenever his ire was satiated! It's shown in this particular programme in fact when Tony walks into his trench without permission early in the series but I also recall other times when Phil was _very_ biting when he was antagonised. I think I'd be excited yet simultaneously rather nervous if I had the opportunity to work with him! Yep, Phil certainly doesn't do _polite disagreement_ when he's angry!

[@deborahparham3783]

That is because Phil is very passionate about his work and protecting the integrity of the trenches. Plus he has all that hot Celtic blood in his veins and he's a red head. Phil is just a big old teddy bear.

[@DiggingNorway]

Best show evner, period.

[@ConsciousAtoms]

Reijer, thank you very much for uploading these. Over the course of the last half year I have enjoyed every last one of them, all thanks to you! Shame there won't be any more.

[@kevingee4294]

To be apart of something that brought so much joy to so many people is no small achievement.

[@jasonerhart1775]

I loved this series and I have seen just about all if not all of the regular season episodes thanks to Susan LH and Reijer Zaaijer. I was surprised to find this series had so many episodes to it considering one regular season has only 16 episodes. So I googled it and much to my surprise the first two seasons did not have a full 16 or close to that. Nonetheless, if you figure in the specials and preseries episodes it does come up to two hundred thirty episodes total. I am so glad to have had the pleasure to get to see what I have. I hope and pray that Tony Robinson's summation in an interview I have seen in another KZbin video that "Time Team" still has some life in it proves true enough that eventually they bring back the UK version. I found the UK version far more interesting than the current US version. Thanks Susan and Reijer for all your hard work. You are awesome.

[@Marie-or6hz]

Loved it! They added so much. This program will be sorely missed. Rest in Peace, dear Mick.

[@myncawzadecameron9974]

Watching time team episodes makes me happy.

[@RonHei]

I know what you mean. Me too.

[@RKHageman]

Same here... a good medicine for a bad day

[@TravisBrady-wn8fr]

Only good things to say. Tony Mick Phil Stewart Rakshar Matt and all the the guys. Thank you for everything.

[@steves5172]

Superb television! TT will return someday in a different guise and the past will continue to be exposed and explained. I can’t wait!

[@peanut71968]

Well done Tony! Time Team too! Thanks for digging things up.

[@jesikebiking]

Thank you Tony,Phip and the rest of the crew for a great 20 years. As a matter of fact, I've watched a number of them twice

[@makrsk09]

Just about finished watching the series all the way through for the first time. There is so much that one can watch it over and over! As I have watched, I have wondered, how many kids studying archeology now because of this show! Cheers from across the "pond!"

[@Ivehadenuff]

Thanks to Reijer Zaaijer for posting all these episodes. You were my first introduction when the show turned up in my feed a few years ago. It’s been quite a wonderful journey!

[@lindahughes2289]

I LOVE TIME TEAM. I LOVE TONY, MICK AND PHIL!!!!! the others help too, but those original 3 ARE TIME TEAM !!!!! AMEN AND BLESSINGS ALL.

[@AggieL48]

Brilliant. Wish we could do it all again! Thanks for all the delightful hours, Time Team. 💕

[@wildbill6675]

Phil is just too damn cool he's my favorite on this show 😎

[@elizabethnewell898]

I just found this series, I love it, they need to bring it back.

[@gwendolynfish2102]

Absolutely a wonderful compilation! Thank you! So good to see all the faces of the ones that have taught us so much!

[@kiri92azel]

thank you for puting this on youtube

[@m.l.wilser7861]

Having seen the entire run 3 times now I am even more saddened that the series ended without mention of previous participants Mick Aston, Robin Bush, Stewart Ainsworth and Carenza Lewis. All had major roles in the earlier show and they were never acknowledged in the final episode. WHY can't US TV ever be this good?

[@CharieVanWits]

+squirrelnutss Yes it is better. The flow has always seemed more organic than American shows to me, but I'm not American, so maybe that's why. The accent is just too much for me. I must add that any Neill de grasse tyson shows are fantastic!

[@Pauldjreadman]

Mick Aston is mentioned and others are in the shot.

[@Shooter11B]

Actually the heart and soul of the Time Team digs were the seriously attractive female diggers. I know, that was so very shallow of me, LOL. This is without a doubt one of my favorite TV shows of all time. The information and knowledge gained from these twenty years is immeasurable. What a journey.

[@GFSLombardo]

Sweaty young women in their tanktops digging holes in the ground for science=PERFECT.

[@Sukerkin]

Steven Szabo :chuckles: I always had a soft spot for Jenni and was immensely pleased for her when she finished her PhD. I used to tease my wife with variations on the theme of “Oh look ... there’s Dr. Jenni!” whenever she appeared on screen :D

[@lunalouhoo]

It is interesting to see the growth of this wonderful show!

[@pamlaw5959]

Wow, 20 years of Time Team wonderful show Thanks

[@EarMode]

I so much miss this show. I watched it every weekend on SKY. And, I don't know why, but, I was deeply saddened by the passing of Mick.

[@schradeya]

I know why! Because Mick was awesome! He taught you about archaeology and the history of Britain every week for twenty years. You probably felt like you knew him personally. I was gutted when I learned he had died, and I only just found the show in the last few weeks. (I'm American so I don't get any good TV like Time Team)

[@donnarouse5366]

Dear sir Tony Robinson have just watched you in an episode of Blackadder. Quite a wonderful change of pace! Also starring was rowan Atkinson and Hugh laurie

[@tomayres4237]

We Love Time team here in Virginia USA!!!!

[@MrGoat47]

I'm sorry to see it go i have watched it all it's like losing an old friend

[@NoelG702]

I'm from the US and just discovered this show a couple days ago here on KZbin. Boy I wish we had a program like Time Team over here in the States. We only have shows like Diggers where 2 guys go out and use metal detectors to try and find rare coins mostly.

[@NoelG702]

+Michael Forrest Yeah they only had 2 seasons and the show sucked. The people on it were boring

[@kokigami5492]

The problem with America is the same as were I live, in Australia. Both of our countries lack the 1000s of years of settlement and industry. Sure, we have aborigines and native Americans but they as weren't industrious as the Europeans.

[@rousp]

@KoKi GAml At least that is the current understanding. The knowledge is beginning to develop though as more people investigate and dig in these areas. I believe that the US and Oceania is two very interesting regions for future archeaology

[@sarahcoleman5269]

Same, personally I find it disgusting that the US channels like Discovery, Science, History, and especially TLC, went from interesting educational programs to sickening reality programs, which are themselves hellish distortions of reality and have nothing to do with history, science, or education.

[@BlueChrysalis]

Ltrain44 I agree. I love this show.

[@CharieVanWits]

Dankie Reijer vir die fantastiese TV program!

[@JanFast]

GREAT!! Thank You for sharing!

[@rodritchison1995]

I always enjoyed Robin Bush. A penetrating wit and a thunderous rumble of a voice.

[@kerryward6896]

I WISH THEY WOULD BRING TIME TEAM BACK !

[@Broken-Danish83]

Kerry Ward agree. Om Danish but love The english history and want to go see it all. But yes bring back The rest of The time team and start The show again...

[@onewbk]

I've learned a lot from the show I have always loved archaeology and history and now I have a new way of looking for artifacts just 3ft down

[@tammyc.8751]

Kerry Ward This show will live forever. Its the very best reality show ever made. Not just the archeology, but the glimpse of life in Britain, the language differences, the humor, the pubs and watching in awe as a big mechanical digger goes after a one or thousand year old wall, which would never occur here in the USA.

[@henkoosterink8744]

I am dutch and i also want Time Team back!

[@mariarebelo2928]

I am Portuguese and I also want it back......

[@greenie2390]

Enjoy TT so much. Everyone is an important part of the team..yes, even you Tony. But it is Phil Hardings' laugh that just makes me smile. Intriguing also is watching the technology change as times change from walkie-talkies, to drones and everything techie.

[@johnferguson185]

I for one love that motley crew !

[@santabillclaus7150]

I found TT a few months ago and I love it. Even if they did it again it would not be the same. With so many members gone. But I would still watch it.

[@georgeb.wolffsohn30]

The NEW time team has now debuted and the humor and "mucking around" is what is missing. I hope the new team will find their sea legs for this.

[@tomtinkersrezlife278]

Mis this show love all the historical stuff they found R.I.P MICK u was the ❤️ of this show

[@jenniferholden9397]

It just goes to show that the UK is one big living museum, I'm almost scared to weed the garden ( that's my excuse). Great work time team.

[@vinniecento]

Thank you for uploading all the Time Team episodes. I enjoy watching them all! In my memory I remembered that the always digging in someone else’s gardens. But that was not the case hahaha. Here in The Netherlands I think the only broadcast the first 2 episodes. Last year I discovered that the have already make 20 episodes. Hahaha So I going to watch the all specials now.

[@Pauldjreadman]

I see this on TV and yesterday stumbled upon this by accident. I miss it and was a unique TV show. They should bring it back. This is when channel 4 was the best channel everyone watched and was a maverick thinking.

[@niklar55]

Amazing how ''threadbare'' Tony Robinson has become during the series!😊

[@suecastillo4056]

With love and gratitude dear ones! The best! Always!😘‼️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻BRAVO!!!

[@mfleece99]

Love the show. Tony has a way with words, "Behind the wall of hair and dubious fashion, we were a crack team." I find some of the older shows team looks rather interesting. Then again, I'm american and growing up in the same time frame, my brother had a mullet. ha.

[@godzillas6301]

Thank you Tim and thank yiou all at TT

[@DonnaStevens-uo9vp]

I am obsessed with you guys!

[@matsforsberg6287]

In the world. Thank you from Sweden

[@williamhiller3988]

Lots of episodes on utube but ones like this show me how many I HAVEN'T seem, dammit.

[@ghomerhust]

and now in 2022, thanks to crowd-funding, Time Team is back! new faces come with a LOT of the original crew to 2 new digs, lots of new tech, and john arguing with stuart about the lay of the land vs the geophys.

[@jasonbailey1951]

The astonishing finds that have been made by TimeTeam are a gem in history. The team alone have rediscovered what history truly is. I would love to hear what the dislikes are about and their arguments for what has been found. I have a feeling it would be biased and uneducated look into history.

[@Simonjose7258]

3:39 🤣 "Dubious fashion" That's an understatement!

[@morrigan191]

I think what I've learned from this retrospective is that there's a massive amount of show that didn't get put into this series. What we saw as an episode was broadcast for 3 full days originally

[@GrahamCLester]

Only a few of the specials were longer broadcasts but there still must be many hours of unused footage.

[@rjborremans4033]

Great Show. That crew had such an easy going rapport, combined with their humor and vast backgrounds of expertise made for the perfect show indeed. I have tried to watch the new Time Team show, but even with a few of the old crew appearing its just not the same.

[@MrNickharp]

Tony said it himself "hair and dubious fashion"😬😂😂😂 always fun to watch everyone's changes through the series🤘

[@pauljonathanbish2161]

I would love it to be revived but realistically it won't happen due to the age of most of the original experts and presenters are getting old. A copy with new experts might work, but could also backfire and spoil the legacy. But there must be a place for a serious but fun archaeology programme, and if they did remake it, I would watch and hope!

[@hallets1956]

I do love Phil

[@karenabrams8986]

Love this show.

[@davidfrobel7582]

good show,,love it..............

[@sgrannie9938]

In February 2012, it was announced that Aston had left the show because of format changes. The disputed changes included hiring anthropologist Mary-Ann Ochota as a co-presenter, dispensing with other archaeologists and what he thought were plans to "cut down the informative stuff about the archaeology".[7][8] "The time had come to leave. I never made any money out of it, but a lot of my soul went into it. I feel really, really angry about it," he told British Archaeology magazine.[7] Channel 4 trying to save face?

[@steveharris4958]

It's such a shame that this show got cancelled. It was so good!

[@granskare]

Nice to hear Tony and hear Phil.

[@ruthking632]

[@kayleeriley3591]

There was one episode where they did Phils it was really good
