Time Team S01-E01 The Guerrilla Base of the King (Athelney, Somerset)

[@jeffreygroenewald8408]

As ever, when depression hits, I turn to Time Team. I don't know where I'd be without this series over the past three years. Theres just something about the old team

[@mintybadger6905]

Same, this show’s been comforting my anxiety for about 2 weeks straight now. I thought I was just a crazy person, then I started reading the comment sections. Maybe it’s the fantasy of having a tight nit group of friends who are all passionate about the same thing I am. All my friends get that familiar glaze in their eyes whenever I start talking about archeology.

[@awkward_gravity]

Literally why I'm here right now.

[@jeffreygroenewald8408]

@@mintybadger6905 I can definitely relate to seeing 'friends' eyes glaze over when I try to talk about something that interest me. I think you're right about that close knit team aspect being comforting; they come across as something of a model work family, all unique individuals who often disagree, yet come the end the day they'll be laughing off their theory rivalries or just laughing at themselves and each other over a drink and getting right back to work the next day with no petty drama. It's good for the soul to see people just getting along working together like that

In Deutschland scheint die Serie kaum bekannt zu sein. Ich habe jetzt alle 20 Staffeln gesehen, viel Englisch und über Archäologie gelernt und kann mich jetzt sicherlich mit britischen Archäologen unterhalten. Das Gefühl, sehr profitiert zu haben, ist deutlich vorhanden und ich kann kaum meinen tief empfundenen Dank aussdrücken. An die Kameraleute, die Regie, den humorvollen Schnitt, John, Phil, Stewart und natürlich Sir Tony: Ihr bleibt always in my heart.

[@christosvoskresye]

+Hippie Dachshunds Time Team America just doesn't hold up as well to me. A large part of it has to do with the personalities. Maybe if Time Team America had a character like Tony to represent the interests of educated amateurs and to draw out the archaeologists it would work better.

[@hippiedachshunds1632]

christosvoskresye I completely agree.

[@katherinecooper6159]

As I live in the USA my education included a miniscule amount of English history. This program offers a wonderful learning experience!

They made an American time team, it only got 2 seasons.

Mine was more world but European oriented than USA, probably since we were young an very volitail still..... 50 years ago.....

[@Spartan265]

Always wanted to do something with history. Be an archaeologist or historian. Work in a muesuem with finds. Things of that nature. I mention this because after discovering Time Team last year I've been inspired to go to college at 28. Going for anthropology/archeology. Been working minimum wage jobs all my life. Needed something new and Time Team sparked something in me to go after it and go back to college. Thank you Time Team! Life is looking up

[@John-mh6mi]

I really miss the team and how from the start to finish I was so immersed in history, learning, and just the great way they presented the information. What a wonderful program I was lucky enough to see. God bless you all, how wonderful and really wish some tv was close to this today.

[@PenneyNile]

As an avid armchair archaeologist and an American of British ancestry, I was exceptionally pleased when I discovered Time Team about a year ago. I have watched quite a few of the episodes so far, and came to like all of the various members of the group. I was saddened when I discovered that Mick Aston had passed away in 2013 and Robin Bush in 2010.Both added so much to the series, Mick in particular. I often made fun of the multicolored striped sweater he wore in so many episodes. Eventually, I will get through all of the episodes, and will probably watch them more than once.

[@patriciamurphydillon4937]

Ty for time team GB!

[@c.philipmckenzie]

The story behind Mick’s sweater is quite funny. Apparently the producer made a comment about Mick’s clothe’s not being bright enough so he came in with this jumper as a joke. The producer said in all seriousness that that was much better and so Mick continued to wear it!

[@irenebecker4815]

Watching in 2023 and really enjoying the slightly different format and being reintroduced to the Team. Just wonderful.

[@DizzyMamma1]

I remember watching this one in 1994. I was then 19 years old and desperately wanted to become an archaeologist. This show validated the fact that Archaeology could be interesting and exciting to my friends who thought I was crazy to want to take it up as a career. I also remember being horrified as Tony jumped into trenches with abandon, trampling artifacts with no knowledge of 'protocol'. Watching the change in his knowledge over the 20 years of the show, and how he went from being an interested and enthusiastic bystander to a knowledgeable and reverent team member was a privilege.

[@EmeraldVideosNL]

Lisa Eisan I wanted to be an archeologist as well. Even though I didn't become one, I always loved this series, as it showed how interesting and exciting archeology was.

[@pinkbunny6272]

i was born 1997. This series taught me so much about archeology that I am able to talk to a professional about it without problem.

[@HaulinWulf]

Lisa, same story here. If I could turn back time, I would study archeology. I realy love "Time Team" as show and the people itself.

[@Pauldjreadman]

I like a TV show that is unique. This is a very creative TV and I watched it every week. I have always been fascinated with history. They only way to find out is to dig it up because that's where to find them.

[@juliao1255]

I am the opposite! -- Meaning, I considered archaeology myself when I was young (once upon a time) but now, after watching and loving many episodes of this program, I am glad I didn't. It looks so miserably wet/cold or "stanking" hot while they slave away in the trenches, that I am very much enjoying my time as an armchair archaeologist, thanks to this fabulous phenomenon called Time Team. I am very glad I found it, and wish it had run in the U.S. I wonder how it would have done here, back then.

The other thing I missed was seeing trenches being dug all over the place and Phil down on his knees with his trowel. This is going to be very fun indeed.

💯 People are going around canceling dead people from 300 years ago

[@ObeyCamp]

But you can judge people by what we know to be true about their time, and the problem with "don't judge people then by the standards now" is that a lot of people use that line as a way to distract from, or negate, sound judgements about people from different times _as if_ they were made because of today's standards. It's a common thought trap to encounter today.
