When do we meet June an who's coming up over her 😂. Sorry I couldn't resist it 😅.

[@girlnorthof60]

@@TimeTeamOfficial 🤯 all of the behind-the-scenes stuff is awesome... it's like being there.

[@Tatsuemin]

Hearing Helen talk about her personal life is so intricately linked to Sutton Hoo made me emotional. It is just not a "dig" it is a lifetime project in the making, it is the culmination of everything she, other scholars and volunteers have worked for so long. Regardless of what they find, just the fact that it came to this is already a big thing. It shows that hard work and years of planning were worth the wait and that the fact that it took so long means that the technology can be of great help now. Years ago there are things that wouldn't be possible to be done the same way it can be done now. I'm just so excited and so happy that it is finally coming to life!

[@irt1971]

She's a good person, all the best to her

[@annwagner5779]

Yes, you said it! And did you hear the excitement in John’s voice? And having Matt introducing - and Tony - this is just wonderful in every way!

[@lornadryden5650]

I think she’s my ago and her kids are my kids age, I just became a grandma and i wonder if she is too. Wonder if her kids are archeologists too!!

[@Julia-uh4li]

I'm only just now hearing about this wonderful ancient site for the first time, seeing it as a sponsored, sort of advertisement on my home screen. I think I've gotten quite excited about this more from these comments than I did, having watched the 11+ minute vodeo. I'm going to be keeping an eye on this sight/site! 😉

[@daviddupoise6443]

Love Helen and her passion for all archaeology but especially Anglo-Saxon. Please Time Team show the reunion campfire

[@makwilson2050]

It is amazing to think my little contribution on Patreon has helped this happen. Can’t wait! Go Team Time Team!

[@knudvoecking]

Yep! Makes you (and me as a Patreon member too) a little bit proud.

[@TrappedinSLC]

@@knudvoecking Right? What a way to make a contribution to the world, even if our part is fairly tiny.

[@nzlemming]

Came here to say exactly this.

[@Rocsanna]

Thank you all! ❤

[@jeffkeith637]

Well done and thank you. A little bit from a lot of sources adds up to do great things.

[@CHCLA6779]

I would happily listen to Helen witter on about anything! Love the questions she and her fellow excavators asked themselves during their digs. I was already excited about seeing this dig - now I'm even more excited. So happy to see Helen, Matt, Tony and John here - even if briefly!!!

[@janicetaylor3721]

We kind of grew up with these people 😁. I was in my 30s when I started watching Time Team. I'm now in my 60s. ❤️

[@vanessadiel264]

I'm in my thirties now and discovered time team only last year. I hope they will be around when I turn 60 ❤

Absolutely the same here 🎉

I cannot afford to donate so a sincere Thank You Patreons!!

Sutton Hoo. The Holy Grail.

[@54mgtf22]

Watching Time Team is like putting on your comfy slippers after a hard day.

[@Rocsanna]

Heartfelt thanks to any and all *Patreons* for making this exciting dig happen! As well as for all the other ones we've had so far, and for making it possible for Time Team to be back! You are the real stars! ❤

[@nickbea3443]

Counting down the days til I am digging as a volunteer at Sutton Hoo! A once in a lifetime event at a site so special.

[@TWROC96]

I discovered Time Team during the pandemic and really fell in love the Team and their passion for archaeology. I've recently became a Patreon because of the quality of filming, the in depth information presented in interviews with the experts and the use of the latest technology as well as all those professionals involved in bringing the new Time Team digs to all of us around the world. Thank you Time Team!

[@thirza9508]

I could listen to Helen for ages talking about her experiences!

[@philipsquire9056]

Mat and Helen’s conversation was fascinating. Lovely to hear the feedback about Patreon too.

[@rlarkinson]

Time Team.. at Sutton Hoo? Just wow, how epic.

[@rodritchison1995]

Season 1, episode 1...Time Team isn't allowed to turn a shovel at Athelney. Season 10, episode 8...Time Team is allowed to use it's expertise digging at that Most Precious of English sites. Now thirty years after S1,E1...Time Team is at the other Most Precious of sites. A long slog but worth the wait.

[@tarquinmcbeard]

I love seeing Helen threaten to witter on forever. The enthusiasm she displays is so contagious. I'm so excited to see what you get up to!

[@dldove22]

Thank you, Helen. I'm getting goose bumps. Way over here in rural Upstate New York I connected myself by becoming a member. My last name was originally the Angl Saxon "Wincoll."

[@christophercrowder872]

Tony's enthusiasm is so infectious and a joy to see.

[@Memento2mori]

Thanks Helen, for sharing your genuine archeo-enthusiasm and vast expertise. 👍

[@monicacall7532]

So exciting for everyone involved-the folks at the dig plus us TT fans! I can’t wait to find out what TT has discovered. Basil Brown and Edith Pretty would be not only happy to see archeological work continuing at Sutton Hoo all these 85 years long, but I think that they would be astounded by John’s technical geophysical machinery that takes so much of the guess work out of digs.

[@martinnaylor]

Absolutely loved watching TimeTeam back in the day,its good to see some familiar faces and how technology has moved on too.

Wish Mick was here to help! Congrats on working hard for so many years and earning such a unique honour. I'm proud to be a Patreon and doing my part to help Time Team change history! 👍⛏👍

[@1000fAttemptsLater]

Listening to Helen makes me nostalgic about an experience I was not involved in. Sounds absolutely fabulous!

[@TrappedinSLC]

Wow. I never thought I'd be able to help with an excavation at Sutton Hoo. But here I am. Along with about 10,000 other people.

[@cortrichards8179]

Very pleased to be a Patreon member and helping make this and other digs happen. If I could be there to help in any other way, I would do so in a heartbeat. TT is my favourite program and it probably always will be. It was so great to hear Helen talk about her earlier days and describe the excitement, as well as the camaraderie between associate groups of archaeologists. You can hear the excitement in her voice when she talks about Sutton Hoo and Anglo Saxon's, in general. How exciting it must be for Helen and all the other archaeologists and TT crew! I am positive that many amazing items will be found, and the information the team uncovers will be so valuable. Thank to Helen and Matt and everyone on Time Team! All the best, from Glenwood, Minnesota, USA.

[@Ivehadenuff]

Happy Wednesday to all! This is the first time I have ever had the first comment. Can’t wait for today’s show. I just purchased some Time Team gear to cheer on the team. Wish I could be there for the dig but I will,enjoy from home.

[@girlnorthof60]

To celebrate Sutton Hoo I ordered the field coat & a T-shirt... they'll be here this week 🥳woohoo!!

[@bluestatedem]

Proud to be a contributor to Patreon for Time Team and this exciting project! It really makes it more personal. Now, I might go and rewatch The Dig.

[@Arch_Angelus]

Nice to see. Sutton Hoo. I'm looking forward to it. Where is Phil? I can only think of a saying that Tony once said: Quote: Phil, Phil, you are digging in the wrong garden. End quote. Nothing fits better. He must be digging here. best regards from Germany

[@meeseification]

Helens enthusiasm about this site is catching I was like oh okay cool another cool time team site. But then Helen started talking and all of a sudden I was very excited too!

[@Becca2334]

We love you Time Team🎊❤️

[@elizabethopoulos4894]

I love the majestic mystery of the music. It adds a wonderful touch to the excitement of the dig.

Sooo great hearing from those who spoke. You all are treasured by me. I have some of your books and Victors books as well. I love you all. I miss others so much. ❤️

[@annecrofts1407]

I've been watching Time Team since the beginning and rewatch on KZbin whenever I'm making cards, about 300 a year. I'm so pleased to see Tony again, love his presenting: his enthusiasm and energy. Sutton Hoo is such a fascinating site, looking forward to watching it develop over the next few weeks.

[@Adalwolf17]

This is going to be great The only thing to make is even better would be if Phil was involved.

[@ironcladranchandforge7292]

Even if he could show up to see the dig and be on camera would make me happy.

[@Hayhurstb]

I would be suprised if he doesn’t pop up.

[@TrappedinSLC]

They need to get him back at least on reunion day or a livestream or something.

[@andershansson2245]

Always nice knowing, but even better seeing (at 2:00) that vital piece of equipment from Swedish Malå featured in every geophys survey on Time Team since the very beginning.

[@stevegunning1806]

This short type video, more than any other I’ve seen from Time Team recently, is exactly why my kids and I support the new TT, and has absolutely nothing to do with having a crush on Helen or hoping Tony’s return means we’ll be seeing even more actual digging footage than recent episodes have shown. Can’t wait. Bravo! 👍

[@aott6799]

This is so exciting! 👍

[@stephanieyee9784]

How exciting! The landscape of the Royal Burial Mound site is extraordinary.

[@maggierose5820]

Ever so proud to be a patreon as TT is my favourite show. I learnt alot from Helen about tracing the evidence in documents and from Stuart in looking at the geography which I have used in my genealogical research . But!!! Even more exciting is that my husband has worked for 17 years at the very same honey farm providing the bees wax for the calking for Sutton Hoo boat rebuild. Only we didn't know the bosses brother was married to our beloved Helen. How amazing is that?

[@Objective-Observer]

I'm so sorry, but I can't help but think of Mick, Victor, Robin and of course Phill who would have been thrilled to be there. From that first episode of ONLY field walking Athelny; then the team's awe and wonder at seeing the GeoPhys pop up line by line on a tablet... and now to actually digging Sutton Hoo! I'm over come with emotion, and yes, it's a migraine and other health issues. I'm a Texan who didn't find Time Team until after they were cancelled, but I've watched every single episode up to 5 times, over the years. We are all so blessed for these people and their hard work.

[@1972tommyc]

Like you, I only discovered TT after cancellation but mist have seen all the episodes SIX times! Cheers from Washington state. 👍

[@Julia-uh4li]

​@1972tommyc As a fellow Washington State native myself, I'm as excited today as I was just over 13 years ago, to have move to England, and to be able to visit these amazing ancient sites in person! It had always been a dream of mine to come & explore. But the magic that actually happened was that I found & married my wonderful English Prince Charming 💛 This is the most beautiful place I've ever seen before. And, wow, history here is a constant gift in itself.

[@auntiex5343]

I am so excited to see this!!

[@mogoshkatz4898]

Tony makes this show. Nothing against the new host but Tony’s natural curiosity and wonder has me watching classic episodes over and over.

[@williampalmer8052]

Absolutely. I miss the energy and enthusiasm of the old series. The new host is just too low-key and unengaging, like he's telling a bedtime story.

[@jonm7272]

​@@williampalmer8052have to agree, don't want to be mean to Gus, but he's far too respectful and low key. I miss the 'challenge to authority' of Tony, much more adept at being the 'everyman (person)' for the viewers.

[@Hayhurstb]

Matt would be a great presenter as well. Gus lacks the energy and passion in my opinion. Gus is a great presenter, just not in this setting.

[@TrappedinSLC]

@@Hayhurstb I agree. Gus is a little too calming.

[@miarrem]

I like the approach of Gus..,I hope he continues with the series

[@JulieDickins]

I was there today, a fantastic site to visit

[@man.inblack]

Thanks Helen, I feel guilty now for not being a patreon. Maybe this is the new way forward for archaeological popular culture. Crowd funded projects that can trigger support by national institutions and Government bodies for the sake of national interests. A sincere show of interest in the search for ‘our story in history by a dedicated community. More promotion for truth seekers rather than storytelling grifters. I’m amazed about how they can dig up dirt and work out what it was used for ‘in the olden days’. I appreciate that someone takes the time to do it, and edit the results so I don’t have to. I think you’ll be my first patreon sign up, The twinkle in Helen’s eye when she expressed thanks made me want to be one too. Thanks present, passed and future patreons. You are the truth seekers too!

[@charlenebessell6736]

I’m so excited for this ❤

[@jolewis-brown6608]

Simply marvellous!

[@meitanteikudoKID]

So hyped! Would have loved to be there

[@anthonyortali3260]

Helen's final comment was what got my emotions roiled. That she and her colleagues had wanted to do the project for so long, but finding a patron or grant source was the limiting factor just made the Time Team patreon project come into focus. In antiquity, you would have to find some wealthy person who was interested enough or just liked the academic enough to toss a lot of money in. Now, it's all sorts of fans around the world who are making it possible for people like Helen to take their considerable expertise and enormous curiosity and make amazing discoveries!

[@GingerCnut]

So excited for this, thanks all.

Oh WoW!! To see one of THE most significant sites from Sub-Roman Britannia (not even yet England) subjected to the marvels of modern kit producing telemetry even John Gator could scarcely have dreamed of back in 1994 (30 years ago? Ye Gods!!) is beyond anything I'd have thought possible when, by popular acclaim, Time Team rose from the ashes just two years ago. Mick Aston, Victor Ambrus and Ian Barclay may sadly no longer be with us, but I'm certain all three would've particularly relished working on this internationally recognised site and I'm sure I won't be the only one to think of them during this dig. How overexcited do I sound? ... and my favourite period ends where the Romans rock up! 🙂 Can't wait for the full episodes.
