This channel is the reason why I can sleep and simultaneously escaping any responsibilities at night.

Me too. It is my go to comfort program before bedtime.

[@binkydonna]

so...going to bed is escaping responsibility? that sounds like a full schedule!!! Im glad you have this to sleep by. very fortunate. jeeez

[@SuzNbhollenberry]

Same! Calms my anxiety

[@dann5268]

Mick said he never made any money doing these weekend digs. so glad he and all the Time Team made the effort to make such interesting programs. RIP Mick Aston, Victor Ambrus, lovely people whos good humour showed through.

[@a.azazagoth5413]

Robin as well. Such great people worked on this show.

[@cherylbrooks7005]

Love this show. it's like visiting old friends:)

[@derrickguffey4775]

I think my favorite part of this episode is in fact the music. I am a fan of medieval music especially and ancient music in general it has a rather calming effect on my mind.

[@DonalLeader]

Finally I get to hear the voice of one of the greats of Irish archaeology and heritage, Peter Harbinson.

RIP

[@nevillemignot1681]

On seeing this episode again after some years i can't help but think how Mick and Stewart would have loved to have drones to help them figure out the 'Lumps and Bumps' on a particular site. Instead of peering out the window of a helicopter, i can see them pouring over drone shots in the incident room.

[@jamescobban857]

They did survive until laser scanners, which see through leaves to map the surface to within a few centimetres.

[@nevillemignot1681]

@@jamescobban857 I don't know if saying this will illuminate my point more, but i do seem them getting drone shots from all over the site. But then zero-ing in on particular area's of interest with closer tighter shots for further investigation and then deciding were to dig.

[@Padraigp]

Im oretty sure they had drones back then. Theyve been around for decades. Maybe this show is older than i realised.

[@sandy-quimsrus]

Later they had the luxury of helicopters.

[@FlowerofDissolution]

In the never episodes, now professor Steward, is still part of the team and they are using drones for sure. Lots of more technical gadgets as well. Improvements for the geophys team. I love how these guys have become doctors and professors in their own right, though Mick will always be missed.

[@leslietarkin]

This is as always, a very enjoyable show. I love the old Gregorian chant and the harp music. They are very relaxing.

Did Time Team ever market Mick's ionic sweater? I would love to have one.

[@1ACL]

It's from The Gap, I think. Maybe.

[@alleeum]

His wife knitted his iconic striped sweaters. ❤️

[@georgenewickstrand4434]

Mick's sweater is done in a very simple knit-perl stitch. With a little practice and time, you could make one for yourself. I can't knit anymore. Too much arthritis from too much knitting.

[@suellendelaney7458]

Another place with St. Patrick is the well just outside of Clonmel in z county Tipp. 💚💚

[@onslaughtgaming-742h]

Saint Patrick was from Wales. He was a Welshman who, departing from Porth Mawr (whitesands, Pembrokeshire), arrived in Ireland because an angel had told him that the land of Dyfed had already been reserved for a man who had not yet even been born, Saint David (Dewi Sant), the Patrion Saint of Wales, as the story goes.

[@jamesn4316]

Anyone know the name of the harp tune starting at 11:53?

[@Dave183]

On Anglesey there is a parish called Llanbadreg. Patrick's church. Was this a namesake, or perhaps part of the life of Patrick himself?

[@Official_King_Penguin]

How do these really old roads become covered in so much dirt? Is t from water pushing the earth over it or what?

[@patriciadavis646]

I thought St. Patrick was buried over up on top of the hill called Tara. I remember seeing a show documentary on him and they found where he was buried at.

[@xotan]

Tara was a pagan site. the story, however, tells how Patrick came to Tara to face the High King and obtain his permission to christianise Irelan The High King was named Laoghaire (roughly pronounced Leerah). Atop the Hill of Tara there are extensive earth works. It is a very ancient site.

[@cynhanrahan4012]

@@xotan Permission? Hardly. Threats of and actual genocide are what gained "permission" to christianize. All you have to do is look at Anglesy in England for an earlier reference.

[@suburbanbanshee]

Quite the contrary. In Ireland as in most of Europe, evangelism was one guy with a few local friends, desperately trying to interest the rest of the country. The big difference was that Ireland had no martyrs, possibly because the hospitality traditions and permitted talking out of disputes traditions were so strong.

[@here_we_go_again2571]

@@cynhanrahan4012 It was the PAGAN Roman legion that went after the Druids on Anglesy. Human sacrifice was forbidden in the Roman empire. The Celtic Druids practiced human sacrifice. (Plus the Druids and the kings/ nobles were "on the same page" so to speak ... Both social groups supported each other against Rome and against the peasants ... when they did not comply. Capital punishment was not illegal -- Just so long as it was Rome that tried the person(s) and executed the person(s) The above is why the Temple hierarchy the Sanhedrin (the High Priest, Scribes, Pharisees, Sadducees) had to go to Caesar's representative (i.e. Pontius Pilate) to request that Jesus be crucified. (Under Jewish law Jesus had committed blasphemy when he claimed to be the "Son of God" who would judge mankind. The penalty for blasphemy was death)

[@sarahhearn-vonfoerster7401]

​@@xotan What do you mean, Pagan? Being non-Christian does not render one "pagan" .... it is just a church created example of discrimination, like so many others!

[@ducdejoyeuse]

It is impossible for the towers to be bell towers, for a start please explain were there is any room for a bell? Then as the entrance are above ground, why build it in such a way, when if it was a bell tower the entrance would need to be bigger, to fit the bell? ?

[@lellyt2372]

I don't know if I agree they were bell towers but he did say the monks went up to the top and rang the bells out the windows. That clearly means there was not a bell hanging there, just a high point to allow the sound of hand-held bells to be heard at a greater distance

[@charlesharper2357]

It showed a drawing of a monk holding a hand bell. It said the monks walked up to the top and rang them.

Was St Patrick even a historical figure? I tried to research him a few years back and I can't tell you where he was born or even where his grave is. It's like he's more like ST Christopher....a saint invented for need of a saint.

[@OscarDeltaSierra]

You can literally read his own letters today…

[@pentegarn1]

@@OscarDeltaSierra Yeah because the Church would never forge letters for or encourage the belief in a mythical person. I want a grave site...or better yet DNA. I believed in St Christopher almost all my life only to find out later it was all made up.

The Round Towers ... what that you guys say...they were Bell Towers ? ? Nope never were they Bell Towers ! The Round Towers were there #1 first ..before the earlier structure of a Church , which was torn down and replaced with what stands today. These Round Towers were ancient...from ancient people..who had knowledge unsurpassed . The early Christians were mesmerised but these Towers ( which never had a cap originally), yet another Tower that was causing huge trouble for the Christians. The church was on the HUNT to locate them all within Ireland. Only a few still stand today in 2023. ( in original condition )... amazingly they do. The church couldn't get their grimly hands on them ! Cause they were ordered to be destroyed!! If ...if they couldn't get away with raising them to the ground, they were MODIFIED some capped, even windows- holes bashed into them. Explanation for some...ohh just old farm houses to store food and what not ! What was highly likely to have been where this church is today hides what was deliberately covered up, the church wanted to gather or be privy to a Power they couldn't explain . Paris France 🇫🇷 Notre Dame yes... there was another one of these Ancient Towers . GONE Interesting indeed

[@carolyneadams5386]

I think the difference are Diana was vulnerable. I don't see any of that in M. (I feel M is calculating).Diana stayed with the RF for a long time building who she would support (eg Aids and land mines) Diana did not attempt to commercialise the RF.. I'm not sure what ground braking support M or H have done. It seems they only get behind something when they can get some PR or an award (tongue in cheek) or there is a price tag.
