Time Team's Phil Harding presents the Battle for North Gate

[@shieldaigbencher]

I believe Phil has been Britain’s finest TV archaeologist for 30 years now. A lovely man with his enthusiasm and knowledge and an absolute archeological legend. Thank you Phil, thank you Time Team and especially thank you Mick rip.

Phil, there are few things in life that are as interesting and worthwhile as listening to you talk about archaeology.

Does phillip know, or, do YOU, who adin steinsaltz is? Has he read the Infamous "Bush Scroll" aKa "Megillat Bush"? Have YOU? iHave and iT's quite, Blasphemous.....

[@robotslug]

Couldn't agree more!

[@valeriejohnson5283]

@@johnnylaroux9517 , Why don't you ask Phil? We commoners only LISTEN to what he has to tell us. If you have to post something that is controversial, you should enlighten us as to what is blasphemous. The only thing I know that is blasphemous is taking the Lord's name in vain. Please enlighten us as to which you are referring to. Blessings to you and your family and friends. 🥀🥀P.s. I will google "Bush scrolls", aka Megillat Bush just to understand your position and post. Now, I listened to this episode, and I don't see any mention of Israel and the Jewish people. Now I will look up Adin Steinhardtz.

[@ilanamillion8942]

Everybody - and I mean EVERYBODY - loves and admires Phil Harding. He can dig up my garden anytime.

[@peterknowles3198]

Brilliant. Phil should be next Dig Director on Time Team. Can certainly captivate an audience. Amazing man

[@dianeakin9204]

And Matt one of the main archeologists.

[@dianeakin9204]

Phil has the white hair.

[@christophercripps7639]

With Dr Suzannah Lipscomb on Tudor era digs, the Time Team team would be complete. An amazing pair they would be.

[@blackbob3358]

that's as maybe, as long he dosen't pander to the producers by saying 'oo aar.

[@PecanRanch]

I'd watch Phil paint a fence. Thanks for sharing.

[@schoolingdiana9086]

Me, too! There’s a great video of him sitting on a blanket and explaining flint napping, from a few months back. I think it’s on the Wessex Archeology channel?

[@treky4life488]

HEAR HEAR GOOD SIR!

[@deborahparham3783]

​@richardharrold9736And it would be absolutely fascinating.

[@BrookeMonfort]

Phil is a force of nature.

[@pieternoordenbos]

Phil Harding, what a man.

[@donnal.oglesby4806]

I so love Phil Harding. God bless him. A gentle kind soul that enjoys life and is very passionate about his work, and his digs. He is a real legend in archelogy... Love the way he, and Mick Aston and Tony all got along and teases one another, but also worked so well together. I wish Phil was back for the New Time Team. Another gone now is Victor, whom gave us all his interpretations of what places and people might of looked like, from the way the digs went..

[@brianreynolds5627]

Phil Harding, master of the story cliffhanger! I've missed Phil, he should have had his own documentary series.

[@CaptainAMAZINGGG]

I would literally just love to even listen to him via podcast tbh. I want him to fill my mind with awesomeness, as much as possible lol

[@Jolan61]

Its funny, up until about 2010 or so, my mental image of an archeologist was basically an Edwardian gentleman writing at a camp desk. Since about 2010 its been Phil Harding in shorts, wearing a tatty hat and leaning on a shovel/pick while peering at a trench.

[@CaptainAMAZINGGG]

I only know the rough, roll around in mud, primal af versions of archeologists tbh. Which fits with my personal aesthetic, as I'm basically feral myself lol. My dad comes from a farming family in romania, so I guess various aspects and connections with the earth and natural living is still fresh in my DNA. Anyways Phil is a legend, and the epitome of an archeological icon, as far as I'm concerned :3 and I adore him and have done so for decades 😌😌😌 He is one super cool dude. 😎

[@leeneale8776]

The man is a national treasure. Nice one Phil👍👍👍👍😁

[@NorwayT]

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I just LOVE Phil Harding! His instinct, knowledge, dialect, (pints!) and humor! 🤣 I ended up in Medicine, but I was probably the only 1st grader in my school that told the class that he wanted to become an Archaeologist from the get-go ("archaeology" was a word none of my classmates had even heard of…)! Watching all the episodes of Time Team, glued to the screen, Phil Harding always made me question whether Medicine was the right choice! That guy is a delight to listen to! In addition to being the BEST archaeology/history program ever aired, through Time Team I have learnt the History of the UK in the most magnificent and delightful way possible, and it really sparked an interest in related literature! And nobody has brought that History more to life than Phil, his trenches and lectures! 👍

[@AnnieWarbux]

Time Team isn't Time Team without Phil Harding! ❤

[@mtcowboy3791]

Good to see Dr. Phil Harding again!

[@motaman8074]

I ❤ Phil!

[@katherinecooper6159]

It is so good to watch Phil explain the archaeology surrounding the Battle for North Gate.If he had taught history when I was in school I might have found the subject interesting.

[@DetroitMicroSound]

One of the finest ambassadors for archeology today. A living legend!

[@Fangs4DaMemories]

Phil and his shorts... All is well in the world. :)

[@Matt-nk2tp]

Phil is an absolute legend!!!!

[@linedwell]

The Man, the Myth, the absolutely legendary Phil Harding. I wish there had been a teacher like him when I was at school in the 80s and 90s, his enthusiasm, knowledge and warmth really comes across. Amazing man, amazing shorts... (That's short videos and denim shorts)

[@alanrogers6885]

I find this very interesting, as a Coldstream Guardsman Veteran, Phil is a brilliant archeologist.

[@TylerDurden-hb4vf]

Still rocking the shorts. Love it.

[@18robsmith]

The way Phil tells the story one can almost feel the building never mind see it. Great job Phil, looking forward to the story continuing

[@carrienania9427]

[@robotslug]

I really enjoy watching Phil tell awesome stories. If he did a weekly or bi-weekly fireside chat just talking about cool things he knows about, I'd be all over it.

[@TombstoneUK]

Cant believe he is in his 70s now, makes you realise just how long ago Time Team began !

[@badgerpa9]

Stay healthy Phil!!

[@franlooving4203]

So nice to see. Really enjoy Phil Harding & the team.

[@markclifton14]

This is one Man that I could sit and listen to all day. Phil Harding is a true British Gentleman. Even though he has been on a successful Tv series. He still remains down to earth. His knowledge is second to none. If I could have a dinner party with anybody in the world , it would be all the members of Timeteam . I would like to see more interesting programs on Tv , instead of these empty celebrity reality shows. People like Phil and his colleagues educate people. Not fill their heads full of nonsense. Well done Phil for educating us all these years.

[@hensimoli013]

Phil is looking great.

I'm sure glad he didn't follow his mother's advice. Phil's an absolute delight! I can't imagine archeology more passionately enjoyed or vividly related.

[@kdean9537]

So wonderful to see Phil, always enjoyed watching him on Time Team! Thank you Phil, really enjoyed this so much, I could listen to you all day! Take really good care of yourself, stay well, be safe! Much love Kathy (Ontario, Canada)

[@dakotashea3561]

I imagine Phil's wardrobe filled with every top a man could need, followed by several hundred pairs of ripped-jean-shorts xD Love this man! He is so enthusiastic! I've always liked enthusisasims being defined as being "infected with the god" of something. If anyone in this world is "infected with the god of Archeology" it is most definitely this great man!

So excited to see this! I’m quite emotional over this short video. It was Time Team and Phil and Dr. Aston (RIP) who kept me smiling this past year and I’ve wanted to be able to tell him that. Brilliant delivery, excellent archaeology and enthusiasm as always from Phil and it made my heart feel good to see some things do not change. I look forward to next time.

So good to see Phil again. I could listen to him for hours, so interesting. Hasn't changed a bit.

[@dalekundtz760]

I love how Phil goes about telling the story of Waterloo site and any other digs he has been associated with. He makes archeology exciting for the lay person. I got interested in this back when I was a teenager and spent a couple days out on Philmont Scout Ranch in Cimmeron, New Mexico, where we dug for evidence of the indians who lived there many years before. Finding pottery and arrowheads as a 14 year old scout was such a tremendous experience. This was all brought back watching Phil on Time Team doing Flint knapping, where he carefully and with great patience taught another young archeologist, Matt, how to do this art. Thank you Mr. Phil!

[@brendalittlefield2203]

I love Phil! He's so knowledgeable and enthusiastic about his work!

Nice to see Phil again, it is very sad about Mike RIP. Phil and Mick were 'The team' that made Time Time/archaeology interesting for millions of us, they were the Penn and Teller of TV archaeology putting in the magic by the way they explained how it all worked, even in spite of that Rude twit Baldric who thought he was in charge. I have been reading about Arthur Wellesley and Waterloo all very interesting.
