I've always adored Robin Bush. I wish they had done the Extra series from the beginning of Time Team!

Great to see the late Robin Bush again - Thanks

[@justaguitardude]

miss robbins input, he always made you feel warm and fuzzy and makes history seem fun for those who may not enjoy as much as my self.. r.i.p chap.. you rocked the history books like only you could.. and i did not even mind you sneaking in your cig break from time to time that tony always like to point out for some reason. :D

[@frackious]

Yeah, I miss him, too. :)

Who was miss Robin?

Pretty cool these time team extra episodes, have seen all normal episodes at least twice, but never knew these extra's existed. Thanks for bringing them to us. That they come from a nostalgic video tape sorce makes you really go back in time, like that.

I had a good chuckle at the warbled VHS audio tracking at the beginning, then when Robin comes on, he's laughing too. Made me laugh harder when it seemed like we were both laughing at the VHS tracking :)

These extras are really interesting. They add a more detailed dimension to the episodes. thank you for uploading!

A lot of us have mixed Viking and Roman ancestry mixed with British!

Its so weird that these villas were all completely out of use just 50 years after the Romans left. Youd think Romanized Britians would have wanted to keep central heating at least!

[@PaulMahon-s8h]

Toilet for me can't believe we lost this for so long 😊

You need slaves to stoke the fires. It's hardly ever mentioned.

I'm remembering this theme tune like it was yesterday...was this the original 'credits' music they used for a couple of years before they found the 'intro' they stuck with for the rest of the series?

[@czgator9000]

It does sound like it, they updated it through the years.

What did the Romans do for us ? They enslaved who they didn't massacre taxed everyone wiped out the Druids stole all the resources including all the gold which is why there isn't any left then left 500 years later. 500 years of tyranny. The Romans then the Vikings owe us some reparations. If anyone meets any make sure you tell them that ! & that's not a comprehensive list
