TIME TEAM RETURNS - NEW DIGS AND TEAM!

[@johnlampe3258]

Mick's sweater will be missed, as will Phil's colorful language and personality and Tony inexplicably running round the site, waving his arms at things that can barely be seen and his skeptical digs at the over serious archaeologists. But glad to see so many familiar faces!

[@LondonRednek]

I probably missed it, why no Tony?😥

[@adacox]

In total agreement John! But if I may add, Victor (RIP) will be missed also, along with his beautiful artwork depicting what the sites would have looked like.

@@Spartan265 I was thinking about this earlier. I'd LOVE to see Phil take over the reigns of the role Mick Filled.
