NEW EPISODE | Day 1: Knights Hospitaller Preceptory | TIME TEAM

[@stevespiers3630]

I was lucky enough to take part in this dig as part of the Community digging team and have been looking forward to this so much. It certainly did not disappoint and I cannot wait to see the second part tomorrow. (A big hello to all the other community diggers, the team from Whittingham castle and all the Time Team crew who made everyone feel so valued and welcome!)

[@ledacedar6253]

Digger at heart here in BC Canada’s mountain valley. First Nations historical finds are what some find. Wishing to explore British heritage daily.

There really is nothing to compare as being involved directly in an archaeological excavation. The experience is incredible.

@@tankgirl2074 love the screen name 😁 I'm determined to be part of a dig one of these days. I don't even hold any illusions about it -- I'd be happy even if the only thing I discovered was a terrible sunburn on the back of my neck 😅

Lucky you indeed!

[@efretheim]

I love how Mick Aston's phrase, "Lumps and Bumps", lives on. Thank you for keeping his spirit alive, Time Team!

[@jesterboykins2899]

Ol’ Mick… good times. He had a way of not panicking. Lol. Never. Even if the dig was a bust. He was still the optimist. Rip

[@whyjnot420]

I wonder where he initially got it from. If he came up with it himself one day, or perhaps it was something he heard when he was still a student, maybe the way some random person described a site to him... there are a thousand ways. Regardless, it is a perfect simple to understand description. (I have watched the entire series 4 or 5 times and certain episodes a lot more than that, but I cannot for the life of me remember if anyone ever said anything about where they got that term from originally)

Watching with great delight, but I can't help but wonder how much Mick would have enjoyed digging a new monastic site. He'll be forever missed, him and his stripy jumpers.

He would've said stews off on one of his walks again hehehe.

[@thyrzahess146]

My Dad was a huge Time Team fan and he recently passed from Cancer. It's been very hard, watching these new episodes. Mom has continued donating to Time Team on Patreon in his name. Keep doing what you guys are doing, it means a lot to my entire family. To lighten the mood when Mom and I were watching these new Time Team episodes, I started joking about how Phil and Tony should just show up, yell at people, then leave with absolutely no explanation. If you could make that happen, it would make my Mom smile. She doesn't smile a lot these days.

[@nigelsouthworth5577]

Thanks for airing this free. It's wonderful so far. It's good to see how all the production team and presenters have really settled into the new series.

[@Erinnem]

I’m an American but I love “Time Team” it’s so cool to see the history of my ancestors that we aren’t taught In school as children. One day I plan on visiting the UK and I really can’t wait!

I love seeing the “old” crew and the “new” crew blending so well! Thanks for bringing back Time Team!!!

[@teriwood9657]

So glad you let Matt have a bigger role, letting him be at the beginnings meeting at the vehicle. He's deserved a more bigger role. He has the history, etc. Couldn't wait for the new episode! Love you guys!

[@KristenStieffel]

Yes I felt the same way! I am a hyperemotional person, so I totally choked up seeing Matt standing at the hood of the SUV saying, essentially, let’s get digging, just the way Phil used to. 🥲 Matt earned that spot, and it’s great to see him there.

[@brettwalters-n4u]

Matt taking the place of Phil, well earned!

[@jayebyrd9953]

I'm willing to bet that Phil is also proud of Matt's role and is excited for him.

[@josephinemiller68]

Why would a black man be interested in white European history? I’m surprised he wouldn’t want to create a show in Africa about African archaeology. Why not?

[@Blisterdude123]

I know what you mean but I just want to add that Matt is at this point in his career an established archaeologist in his own right. He's had a long and fruitful career since his early days on the series. It feels like a little bit of a slight to say they 'let' him do anything, when at this stage of his career, he was likely asked.

[@franlooving4203]

Ohhh the things in Stewart's brain. ENDLESSLY FASCINATING. Could I just please sit at a dinner table with him and hear all of that knowledge tumble out. Just so interesting. Great episode. Thank you, take care.

[@jemtebelle]

Yes! I always think how I would love to follow him and his clipboard around any field!

[@monicadarrah8425]

I agree! Whenever he talks I sit up and listen!

The expertise he brings is such an incredible combo of art & science - the way he can read the landscape always blows my mind!

[@grahamthorn2797]

Delighted to see Richard K Morris back for this dig. His knowledgeable views and explanations are as sharp and interesting as in earlier episodes and add a perspective we perhaps didn’t get in those earlier new episodes. Thank you Richard for making the effort despite your mobility struggle! Looking forward to episode 2 tomorrow.

Love hearing Stewart and Carenza talking about inspiring the next generation of archeologists as if they hadn't been an integral part of inspiring the current generation of archeologists. ❤

An excellent Day-1 ... I'm pleased that my Patreon contributions are helping new episodes be filmed - shame on terrestrial TV not picking up Time Team again.

[@thesteelrodent1796]

the quality of TV has degraded so much over the years, that actual worthwhile stuff like this would be complete out of place these days. At least on KZbin they have a large audience that appreciates the educational value of the show

[@anna_in_aotearoa3166]

A HUGE thank you to the Patreon supporters who've enabled the return of this awesome show (for free!) for us big TT fans who sadly aren't in a position to help fund, & can only boost via engagement & enthusiasm!

[@casseus86]

Have you admit, the soundtrack during the opening scenes got me a bit choked up. Thanks for bringing such an incredible program back to life.

[@AvaT42]

That was fascinating, Richard Morriss identifies the doorway through filled holes and indentations, vertical breaks and you see the doorway as he shows us!! Amazing! Richard sure knows his stuff!!

[@shri081]

Involving kids in digs like these is so awesome…kids will be kids…and a lot of them will be distracted and playful and might not buy into all of this…but one thing is for sure…they get to work with their hands…in the outdoors….learn a skill or two…work with others…camaraderie and teamwork…feed all the good stuff to their brain…tomorrow in their lives it might not be in the field of archaeology…but those interactions and life skills will come of use…. TT is such an epic show for this alone…nothing that compares to it on any viewing medium today….

[@gregmunro1137]

It is so nice to see a new show- I love time team. It’s like visiting old friends. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Time Team got me through the sudden death of my best friend , and it got me through several covid lock downs . Time Team was my sanity during lock down and the worst grief I have faced in my life time.

[@amandakraczek4359]

Why doesn’t this channel have more subscribers! It is the best thing on the internet, and I’m so happy that we are able to see it in the U.S. One of my dreams is to go to the UK and sign up for a time team dig as a volunteer. If I keep my mouth shut maybe no one will notice that I’m American ;)

[@woodbeck]

It's such a silly little thing, but I really loved having Stewart say the immortal "and only three days ..." line ❤ I'm loving this new Time Team revival. Last year's episodes were a joy, if a little unsure of it's old/new balance, but if this ep is anything to go by then this year's episodes are a confident leap in a great direction!

[@Tawadeb]

Same here

[@tarnishedknight730]

Rebekah, While it is great that the immortal "and we've only got three days..." lives on, and it's great that Stewart was the one who said it... but it's not Tony. The same way that it's not Mick asking questions about the findings. Many of the questions that he asked, he already knew the answers to; but people learn, and retain, more when they figure the answer out on their own, as opposed to being told (and Mick knew that). Tony was the voice of the people. He became so beloved because he asked the questions that we (the people watching) would have asked. He was the member of Time Team that was us, the novices. We became a part of Time Team (vicariously) through Tony. The new Time Team is just as fantastic as the original; but it will never be the same without Tony. Nor is it the same without Mick and Phil and Ian and a host of others that are no longer part of the current cast and crew of Time Team. But those who are no longer with us, will always be The Time Team, and will always be remembered.

[@TheStoney1]

My ancestors (Myttons) owned Halston hall and my dad was the finder of a very rare conventual bullae of the Knights Hospitaller a few years ago in Warwickshire. So i feel like this episode has a personal connection. Love it!

Great - a real step up from the first two, which weren't at all bad themselves. Gus has found his feet and got the pace and energy right. Richard Moriss is brilliant as ever. Just straight back to the best of the old time team with lots of familiar faces. And bringing through that young crusaders expert Rory who was probably born around the time the original first series aired and "promoting" the likes of Matt. Really well balanced. Do more and more often!

[@abilenechristianuniversity7326]

Having watched scores of Time Team digs, I was a bit surprised by my emotional reaction to this current one. When in the opening segment Matt Williams issues his urgent call to arms, I experienced a delightful surge of the old excitement--a testimony, I think, to the anticipation this series has inevitably inspired in viewers. I also wish to say a quick word about Dr. Gus Casely-Hayford's commendable performance. He has inherited a hard act to follow, to be sure, but he acquits himself extremely well. I love the reverential wonder in his voice as he inspects each emergent find. Many thanks to all!

Stewart is the absolute master of his field. His hand drawn plan lined up with the geophysics almost exactly. How often has he been wrong on Time Team? Like twice? Gus was great too. I enjoyed him the first episodes, and he feels more relaxed here.

[@lefoxmethodstudiouk]

Can I just say, Time Team was one of the highlights of my childhood. Absolutely loved sitting down with mum and dad watching this incredible show, learning about our history from this amazing team of people. I was expecting to hear the cheeky chirpy voice of Tony Robinson at the start of this show, but it wasn’t there. I will miss Tony Robinson. He was pure brilliance. The new presenter Dr Gus Casely-Hayford has done me proud. So great to see him excited and super enthusiastic. He has the spirit of Tony Robinson, and I wish him all of the success with these new Time Team episodes. A hard role to take on after decades of having (The man) Tony Robinson present the show. This was one of the greatest Time Team shows I’ve ever watched. Well done sir, very well done.

“So… how are you gonna find me a preceptory? What’s the plan?” Love it!

[@simgraves464]

I may have an insight that could be of value for Time Team. I've seen every episode available on KZbin. When I saw this new episode, I was caught by the introduction being presented by Stewart. I couldn't wait to watch it. While exploring my long-time attraction to Time Team, I was reminded of a recent interview with Richard Hammond of Top Gear fame. When asked about the phenomenal success of Top Gear, Richard said that it was all due to the fact that the presenters always kept one guiding element in every show - "their passion for the automotive world." Richard said that no matter how silly and outlandish each show was, "the passion was always at the center." It seems obvious to me that the passion for archeology present in all of the previous shows is what made me watch every episode. Tony's genuine passion may have acted as a spotlight to expose the passion in all of the other team members. I believe that Tony also demonstrated that slick presentations. My final thought is even though new archeological technology and better production is of some value, it's the passion for archeology from all of the team members that will keep me subscribed to Time Team. I began with my experience of seeing Stewart at the beginning of this last episode and I knew his passion was going to make a great show. 🙏 Sim Graves
