Do You have any Caves that need Digging ? Ya never Know , You might find a Druid School . I still believe an 9 meter Tell Phil Dug that a Guest on the Show said They had found a Ring of Large Flint Nodes in the Middle like a Henge was Actually a Stone Age Carpentry Shop and the Large Flints were for Shaving Wood Smooth.

This Episode is from 2012 . We here in Ontario have had the Time Team regular episodes on TVO over the last 15 years or so. But as far as I know, they never showed any of the Special Episodes. There are 62 of those. I only discovered them about 4 years ago - on KZbin. These should be on the Classics Channel.

[@turnerg]

Yep, but that doesnt drum up a buzz like posting a previous special with the commercial breaks that feature modern day tony and updated graphics. It is the one thing that irks me with the new time team.

[@adrinathegreat3095]

Use to be a show about archaeology, but turned into a show of characters clowning around " where's me beer Tony, ha ha ha" It's a comedy show with a bit of archaeology thrown in, you can't argue otherwise because your comment was about the presenters and not about the archeology. Which In itself is often guess work made to fit in with what they are looking for and put into some vauge context

[@GeraBrown]

​​​@@adrinathegreat3095 What's VAW-zh mean, lol? Maybe you meant 'vague'? See, nothing wrong with people having a little fun. 😂 That's the charm of the show. The first 10 or so seasons with Carenza were definitely better though because there was better chemistry. And Robin Bush added something during that time too. So I'm agreeing with you, I guess. Now where's me beer? Lmao.😊

[@janinebean4276]

That’s actually incredibly clever to preserve a historical site by building around and over it and making it a FEATURE of the building, that’s brilliant! It would actually preserve the site better while allowing people to appreciate it because you wouldn’t have to bury it to preserve it! Awesome.

Cheers Tiny Tony you’re a bloody legend.

[@OMA_MetalDetecting]

This is a fantastic episode and riddled with all that is great about Britishness.. William Shakespeare (you can’t get more british than that) and Phil Harding tanked up on ale and blissfully merry at the thought of having to drink 7 more tankards of it. It’s more British than the Union Jack itself!

[@dalegowing]

Very good I’ve been to Stratford to visit shakespere and his final resting place. A magnificent place it has a wonderful feeling about it.

What I find interesting is just how much ground gets removed. In science your told about layers of the earth, and it gives you this impression that one inch would take thousands of years, here that's a good foot and a half, amazing how we change the landscape.

[@johnbacon1854]

Lovely episode. I have visited there, a few years back before this dig of course. There qas a wonderful feeling of spomething a little special about the town. It felt welcoming, friendly and history was very evident all around. The building across from the dig I remember visiting with the shops underneath. The river close by with the beautiful bridge leading to the Butterfly sanctuary. I sat at the river bank for a while having fish and chipc with a dear friend watching the swans and geese swim by. Lovely place.

[@joannemoore3976]

I moved to Stratford-upon-Avon just over 2 years ago from just outside Birmingham because I have always loved the place. I can walk into the town or out into the Welcombe Hills in 20-25 minutes. Whenever I cross the bridge over the river and look down toward Holy Trinity, I have to pinch myself that I live here. There is a magic about it. They had a nice exhibition at New Place and Nash's house this summer, including a seal ring found in 1810 between the site of the house and the church, bearing the initials WS.

[@EmeraldVideosNL]

This is wonderful. Stratford-upon-Avon is one of the few places in the British Isles that I visited, as part of an excursion from my studies in English Literature. What a thrill to see the Time Team, that I watched as a teen, at the place I visited not 2 years earlier. I vividly remember visiting all the old houses connected to the man, Birth Place, Old Place, New Place, his grave, Anne Hathaway's cottage and Mary Arden's farm. Fond memories that make this episode shine all the more for me.😊 I imagine that is what many Brits felt as Time Team visited their familiar places all over their lands.

[@CanChikMay]

Are there further plans to keep exploring the site in the near future? -- Hudson River Valley of New York, USA here, watching with cold hands. -- (PS: There is no evidence that Shakespeare was not the playwright of his own work. Indeed, there is plenty of evidence that points to his authorship, the "First Folio" being one bit when just a few years after his death, his theater friends got together to publish it.)

Did the group doing the dig at New Place close down the project in 2012 or did they continue on during the following years?

I'm interested in the source of the estimate that the Shakespeare household may have had a dozen servants, and the capacity of beer production. Is there any way to find the source used by the production?

[@Jeffhowardmeade]

There aren't any records specific to New Place. Estimates are based on comparisons to the staffs of similar-sized houses. I think 12 is a bit exaggerated.

Hello Phil! 👋

[@nixops]

I visited Stratford in 2019 and went to the house and church and and and... I probably stood next to this place but had no idea what it was. Makes me think that it may be time for a return journey. Curiously my maternal grandparents lived up the road from the Globe Theatre in Southwark. I never considered that aspect too. The small town where I live also has a Shakespearian connection, members of the Hart family (descendants of his sister) are buried in a graveyard in the town. Small world when you think of it.

[@a1aprospects470]

I wondered why so many people watch on other channels instead of time team official. After the 8th commercial break in the first 12 minutes I understood. Not watching any more videos on this channel it's ridiculous.

[@Shaden0040]

This archeological dig is interesting, but I'd also be like to find out and be interested in if Shakespeare has any living descendants left? Is it possible are there any remains of William Shakespeare known? or is close relatives like children or grandchildren? That can be tested genetically to find out if there are any current day living descendants of Shakespeare? and out of those peoples now living in Stratford Alfa and Avon How many of them have his genetic fingerprint?

[@Jeffhowardmeade]

His son died age 11 years. His younger daughter had three children who all died young. His older daughter had one daughter who died childless in 1670, ending his family line. His sister, Joan Hart, has living descendants.
