** ABOUT TIME TEAM **
Time Team is a British archaeology series that originally broadcast on the UK's Channel 4 for 20 series, and countless specials. Over the years, the team excavated over 220 sites, from back gardens to Buckingham Palace. The show has now returned to KZbin, thanks to the incredible support of thousands of worldwide fans on Patreon.
Series 21 (Season 21) of Time Team follows two incredible new digs, each released in extended 3-part episodes exclusively on the Time Team Official KZbin channel. The first dig explores a mysterious Iron Age site in Cornwall; the second investigates a huge Roman villa on the estate of a Tudor castle in Oxfordshire.

[@kazzooka]

I find his presentation a distraction. Breathy, whispering and no depth of voice. Sounds he is reading a book or script to small children and comes off to be underwhelming and overly bland. "Mister Rogers speak" for the American viewers reference. It isn't Adult level. There is no personality like the archeologist exhibit. Much better in direct conversation mind you, but " chalkboard screechy" when doing overview narration. Monotone and condescending.

It is interesting to see how the technology has advanced from Season One of TT until now. I also like how the 3-day dig is being presented in three shows, giving the viewers much more detail about the excavations and what is being found.

[@ThisWontEndWell]

This amount of detail was probably recorded in the original programs and then edited down to make a single episode, must be so much unseen footage.

Time Team was the best TV programe that never dates. Love the original episodes !!!!

[@RobBoudreau]

I really loved that ending, where Natalie used Gus and Jimmy to give a sense of the villa's scale. Looking at maps, aerial photos, none of those really give the viewer a true sense of size like what Natalie did there. Having people at the ends really helps viewers see just how big the villa is. The slower pace, more of the process, deeper explanations, the new format is exceeding all expectations. Loving it, just loving it.

[@AssetImages]

The approach and mood of the show feels more like a documentary than the dramatic and frantic pace that the old Time Team show felt. I do like that each episode represents a day of the dig without a strict time constraint on each episode and the behind-the-scenes crew are included in the episodes, and off course, the new tech and gadgets… no more helicopter visuals?!?! 😝 But I do miss the humor, the banter, and chaos😞

I've missed seeing Stewart wandering about on his bicycle, listening to what the land has to say. Also great to see that the team has embraced the metal detectorists as an asset vs the equivalent of "tomb robbers" or vandals.

[@SirWussiePants]

To be fair there are both - responsible detectorists and stealth pirates (as well as responsible archaeologists and stealth pirates) . But even Mick came around to seeing the value in metal detecting as long as it is done responsibly. Both archaeologists and detectorists have changed over the decades to come to an understanding. The laws also changed over time to not cut the detectorists totally out when they find a hoard making responsible metal detecting and documentation a worthy goal. I think that there was a time - just when detecting got big - where it was the wild west out there and every man for himself. That brought on some of the bad feelings. Remember, there was a time when archaeology was similar. Both professions have grown dramatically and for the better.

[@Oleandra-13]

After rewatching some older episodes from around 2010 and then rewatching these, I am even more impressed with how you all have truly brought the show into the present. I can see the new folks getting more comfortable, I think I heard Natalie channeling Tony right at the end of this episode.

Gus and Natalie are a great combination.

The injection of other new blood is great. This isn’t like watching a retired band get back together for one last tour, this is new blood that will keep this going and going. Bravo!

[@kathmilne2628]

As an Australian with part English heritage, aged in mid 70’s , my school history was based on England , (not usually including Wales, Scotland , Ireland etc. ) with occasional references to some of the other members of the Great Britain, it has fascinated me all my life. I got hooked on Meet your Ancestors , and Time Team with a great desire to join a dig and take part. I loved all the presenters and was excited to see Raksha and Matt on other programmes after TT was no longer being shown. Now to see many of the old faces back I am once more in my happy place. Thank you all who were responsible for getting the new TT back and financing the effort. I am not in a position to help financially and certainly unfit physically but I feel like it I am welcomed back to discovering more about the small island in the north! Some of my forebears came from Bath, others were Manx and my late husband had connections to Scotland and Ireland. So it’s somewhere in the blood! Looking forward to day 3 and all future events. X

I'm at the start of renovating a 400+ year old house. I can't be more specific of the age, as there are just no records. One feature suggests the house is much older. Already, and thanks to the knowledge I've gained from watching Time Team since it's very first episode on C4. I been able to see the history of the house from things like the filled in doorways that now lead outside what I own. I really wish I could get that photogrammetry and laser measurement done, to begin to see what has been lost. But here in Malta, right now that is beyond specialist and expensive. But I just wanted to say, thank you to the Time Team, for making me aware of what to look for. I'm so glad you are back!

[@helenamcginty4920]

I had a house built in 1921. Before I bought it it had been remodeled and I remodeled again. So in only just 101 years, a small semi built as one of a small estate of rented properties has had 2 remodelings and now maybe more as I sold it last year. So no wonder a house the size and age of this one is so intriguing.

[@leithmacdonald4242]

Hi Matt. I am an archaeologist. May I suggest you look into a few local (or internationally well known) Universities to find ones that have a program in Historical, Architectural, or Cultural Heritage that may also have people using the latest laser technology and approach them. There may be a student looking for a PhD subject or location to use as a test site for their research.

Can I just say that you can do your own Photogrammetry with free software. Various KZbin videos will show you how. It won't be as quick or high quality as the professionals with professional kit but you can do it. (It may cost you a new PC though, one of the reasons I brought my swanky new one was to be able to do Photogrammetry at speed). e.g. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fouzcqSCZa99n9k Even just manual measurements used to build a 3D model using Blender (Open Source Software) might help you get a more complete picture of the building.

People. This is really coming along well. Certainly much to be proud of. Everything is nicely executed. This pleasant 2.0 goes to show, that the unique format of crowdfunding was the right decision. Nothing could've been more frightening, than todays editing, half second clipping and way over the top dramatized epic soundtrack that so much else is so profoundly and truly plagued of, making such broadcasts completely and utterly intolerable, unbearable and unwatchable. This, my friends.....this is hopefully a new decade long pathway. So much to be explored still. Standing ovation.

This is so interesting, new theories with finds in every trench. I am looking forward to seeing day 3 and what the final summery is. Plus dying to know about that bricked in doorway halfway up the staircase in the Manor house. Thank you all Time Team, so glad you are back with us doing what you all do best. 💕🇦🇺

Too good, 3 days is just not long enough. Thanks for another fascinating episode

I’m glad Matt got some quality screen time.

Although they have not gone that far with this new series, the thought occurred to me while watching this episode that I bet Matt is glad that he is now senior enough that he will not get pulled to do reenactments I also must say that I like this format, with an episode per day of the dig.

So great to see almost all of the team back!

Watched the first episode of the new season and wow...you've really done the old TT justice, what a wonderful mix of old and new! I've become a patron so you can keep digging, can't wait to see more from the entire team, old and new :D

It's amazing how much technology has evolved! Enjoying this one after episode 1 and very glad #Timeteam is back 💚

I have to be honest ... I was very apprehensive of the new hosts seeing how Tony was such a staple, but Gus & Natalie have done a fine job.

I love TimeTeam, and always will. My only problem with this new series is that the voice of the presenter is so gentle and unexciting that I have a difficult time not being lulled into sleep. I have had to restart this episode twice already. I like his voice, but I really miss the excitement of Tony, Phill and the others. It IS new and exciting, but it is not presented that way. It is as if it is a calming bed time story.

Gus and Natalie are fantastic!

Trench, trench, trench, trench! Absolutely love this new series and have gone the extra mile and have supported them thru Patreon. Only missing an occasional visit by Phil and Tony; RIP Mick and Vincent.
