Time Team S03-E03 Village of the Templars (Templecombe, Somerset)

[@gigthurmond2187]

Stewart is just beginning to assert himself in this episode. For all the ribbing he'll take later in the series, I think they all-especially Mick-more and more came to depend on his detecting skills. Part of the problem early on in the series is that he's a bit of an introvert, while Tony, Phil, Carenza, and Robin are all, to varying degrees, extroverts. Thanks Reijer Zaaijer for posting this incredible series. I'm hooked

[@flat5sharp11]

@Gig: If there's one thing I've learned by watching lots of Time team episodes it's: Always listen to Stuart

[@tomu2858]

Stewart's contribution to the show, invariably has a greater "wow factor" for me. I'm almost always more surprised and impressed by what he comes up with than any of the other many varied and highly skilled professionals on the show.

[@zettle2345]

Mick use to do the same things Stewart does. Mick was more interested in which Pub was close by, ahaha, while Stewart is more interested in the lumps and bumps...

[@tubaniels]

Also, as it seems to me, the knowledge and technology of the geophysics developed and improved as time passed by. Beautifull program again. Hopefully preserved for many generations to come and to enjoy.

[@lisakilmer2667]

The best thing about this episode is the admission of error when Mick realized they should have done the map work first. The fact that they were willing to put that embarrassment on camera really speaks to their integrity.

[@vincerussett7922]

Yes, I agree. A couple of weeks after the episode showed on TV, Mick was giving a talk in Bristol which I went to, and he made a minor point about 'We don't really understand this' and some wag in the audience shouted 'Didn't they look at the Tithe Map, Mick?' He looked like thunder for a second, then someone laughed, and the whole room, including Mick, had hysterics, and when we all recovered, he said 'No, not really', which set everyone off again. A great man, my friend and mentor, and I still miss him.

[@rocksandoil2241]

@@vincerussett7922 Wonderful story. As a scientist it is refreshing that an expert will admit to a mistake, and in doing so restore, in my mind, the very essence of science. We test, we make mistakes, we test again, and we never never believe we have "settled" any science whatsoever. Science will evolve with time and the slow addition of more and more evidence.

[@wmoates6029]

@@vincerussett7922 It is sometimes very frustrating to watch these experts and scientists rushed to reach a conclusion in three days. It doesn't hurt so much in some episodes but there are some where it would have been more edifying if the timeline had been extended - perhaps across two or three episodes? In a rush, people make mistakes.

Unlike Carenza quickly passing the blame on to Mick 29:34. Then mildly admits she was also responsible for the bad decision, after Mick gives her the look.

[@motorcop505]

Dan Keeney I wish they didn't feel like they have to make an "American" version of BBC classics! They made an "American version of "Broadchurch" but named it something different (no "church" allowed in the title, even though it was simply the name of the town!) and they dubbed the lead character's voice! WTF? They assume all Americans are too dumb for the originals. They made a horrible US version of Coupling, too, that was mercifully cancelled quickly. The U.K. version was terrific as it was.

[@ocianaigh1]

It's akin to remaking any old classic. The original always seems to be better than any remake, yes some of the special effects are better now but it don't make the remakes better.

[@mickymickle2764]

My first bachelor's was in anthropology and the last class I took was an actual dig at Harvard Yard! It was awesome, as the pit I was assigned to turned out to be their "trash" pit and was extended as far as we could go. We ended up about 8' down, and at the very bottom was a broken, but all pieces there, Bellarmine jar! However, there is very little money to be made in this field, so alas it was not what I spent my years working at. That said, there are many ways you can still experience digs. Various local digs will take on volunteers (as they have done on this show many times.) I don't know if they still have offerings, but some years ago there were "trips" you could make which had you participate in actual digs - of course you have to pay for this experience, but if you consider it a vacation where you might do some exciting work, then it would be worth it! Search around, you might find something to scratch that itch!!

[@GBV-it1ol]

This is the best show ever on telly. How I miss it!

[@richardwaldron1684]

I love this episode for the fact that Mick wasn't too proud to have his site assessment errors shown on TV i.e. the fact he didn't look at the Tied map or they didn't do a quick site survey to find that huge chunk of existing boundary wall located at the end of day 3. It really was warts and all , a chance to see he didn't get it right all the time but they still came good at the end. But I still wonder what they would have found in the neighbouring field...

Mick is the epitome of a true archeologists-- honest, even with himself, diligent but human. I adore Phil -- my #1 archeologist crush ever. Love Tony from Black Adder days and his niche is this sort if producer presenter like on Time Team.

[@richardgrace4500]

Tony is the most annoying and obnoxious person on the show and you can tell in episodes that most of the rest can’t stand him and he annoys them and that never changes throughout the seasons... also he is probably the most irreverent person I have ever met especially when it comes to burial having absolutely zero respect for burials or the dead (for example on multiple episodes the archeologist want to see the burials just to make sure they care there and exactly what they are and from what time period but they don’t want to mess with the bones/burials or burial goods unless they have too meanwhile tony just wants to rip them up bones and goods and all)... also he constantly says “we” when referring to stuff being done when he isn’t doing shit but walking around and running his mouth and acting like an idiot (I think throughout all the episodes I saw him lift a finger to halfway do something maybe 3 times)... they would have been better off getting an actual historian or archeologist to be the commentator than someone who knows nothing about history or what is going on behind the basic elementary level (which I mean what can you expect from a lifelong paid actor)

[@gsf5882]

[@vincerussett7922]

Greetings from Somerset, UK. Mick was still beating himself up about not looking at the Tithe map years later. I went to a lecture he gave at Bristol, talking about another site, where he said 'Oddly, we didn't find anything where we first looked', and some wag in the audience shouted 'Didn't you look at the Tithe map, Mick?'. Just for a second he looked really angry, but then he said 'Oh well, these things happen' and the audience laughed. Mick was a mate of mine, and I miss him.

After watching these early episodes again, I've had a thought. You can probably imagine the amount of roundtable meetings between post production of this episode and the pre-production of the next episode. They would have talked about proper scouting the area, research into the early maps of the area to cut down time during the shooting of episodes and to get on with proper digging likely hits within the site. These episodes would have benefited if (the early and rudimentary) GeoPhys had at least a half day head start.

Interesting facts.. I live near here and have seen the wooden painting of the head in the church at the beginning of the show. You have to phone the vicar of the church to get him to unlock the church out of hours to see it. Every other church in the area is always unlocked so people can come and pray or look around at any time. When I mentioned that to the vicar he told me that some very important people from London insisted that the church be kept locked at all times out of church hours and that people come every year to hold a special ceremony involving the painting. And last but not least, there has been a request many times that it be taken from Templecombe church to a safer place to london. If you visit it now, it is under a bulletproof case in the church... I kid you not..... what do you make of that then ???

I have that Templar Rule book! I've also got their Primitive Rule, which was the original Rule written by St. Bernard when the Order was officially accepted that was quite brief in comparison to the later Rule contained in the white book. Before St. Bernard's Rule, they followed the Rule of the Augustinians, whose canons they shared facilities with. This is a terrific series! I can't believe that I'm only finding it now. To limit archeological work to just three days is indescribably quick and pressured. It was good of them to show the heated tempers and argument regarding the oversight of the tithe map as another person has mentioned. This was early on in the series though, so they were still learning the ropes of such pressure cooker archeology. Under normal circumstances, all of this would be quite protracted and methodical. They are only able to do the most cursory of surveys for this series, but that also accords with modern people's short attention spans. Any serious work would have to be performed with much more time and attention to detail, without the pressure of instant results. Considering the extreme restrictions they are forced to work under, they do great work, and expose the various scientific disciplines that are associated with archeological excavations to a much wider public than would otherwise get to see them. Sadly, Indiana Jones and Lara Croft are as close as many people get to the field of archeology.

Reviewing the work and historical presence of the Templars in south of France, Spain and Portugal is equally fascinantingand revealing how active they were against the Arabs.

I imagine if you've stolen property from a group, you want to erase as much evidence of it as possible and people would bury what could be buried and taken stones to use for other projects.

They drank beer because they liked the beer. Drinking it because you had to is absolute bs :D. If you had to boil the water to brew with it, why didn't they just drink the boiled water and skiped the brewing step? ;D

[@PaulMahon-w2b]

Why would I boil the water there's nothing wrong with the water it's the sickness you have to fear none from drinking beer!!!😊
