      Two people have posted all the episodes, and most importantly, have them in order and show all the specials, live shows, digs, etc that accompany these shows. I HIGHLY recommend watching Time Team through these posters as they put in tremendous work and watching them in sequence allows you to see the growth and procession of the show. You get to see how times change and better understand everything. Besides, there are several time they returned to a previous dig, either in live shows, specials, or just in subsequent regular digs, such as St. Mary's Cathedral or Dinnington villa digs.

    Love these shows, their extraordinary places, and finds. Collective expert interpretation by renowned experienced persons in a variety of associated specialties with a large bit of entertaining personalities . But I hope the new Time Team will avoid the past mistake of increasingly demeaning female archaeologists, staff and the viewers with close up zooms of decolletage and focus on the remarkable unfolding archeology. I see the much loved, late Mick Aston's point in resigning when it strayed in the past from the point of the show. Delighted there is more Time Team to come!

  • @Bramble451
    @Bramble451 5 лет назад +26

    Season 19 - Episode 1, "Dig By Wire". This is the first episode to include Mary-Ann Ochota, one of the main reasons Mick Aston quit. In spite of her being a trained anthropologist and archaeologist, I guess Mick saw her more as eye candy for the show. And honestly, I can't say why she was there if it wasn't for that purpose, since her role seemed to very heavily overlap Tony's. But in spite of Mick's disapproval of her addition, I don't think it's fair to blame her for the demise of the show. She did have an appropriate degree, and had been an anthropological TV presenter in the past. Although even if eye candy was her role, it's difficult to fault BBC too much. After 20 years, ratings had dropped off considerably. Nothing lasts forever, and all in all, 20 years is a remarkable run for any show, let alone one about archaeology!
    It's a shame Stewart was gone... of all the team members he seemed to be the one most frequently correct. :-)

      I actually agree with you. However, I wonder why a clever woman would allow herself to be reduced to eye candy and how producers can be naive enough to believe that eye candy could save the show. Maybe it would have been wiser to allow the show to "age gracefully" and give it a proper ending without having to antagonize thr Prof., whom I admire greatly.

    • @justanotherbrickinthewall2843
      @justanotherbrickinthewall2843 5 лет назад +11

      Miss Ochota was blamed for the demise of the show.
      Mick Aston left because the producers had "dumbed down" the show. (The producers cut out the scientific stuff in order to attract a larger audience. In hindsight; they cut out the part that made the show so interesting)
      Mick Aston was very very angry about that decision.
      "I never earned a penny with it; but I put my heart and soul into the show"; he said.
      He died soon after.
      So did the show.
      I'm not sure if miss Ochota was wrongfully blamed for killing the show. But I am sure that Mick Aston left some pretty big shoes to fill.

    • @billie-jobenway8658
      @billie-jobenway8658 5 лет назад +6

      Mary Ann got a raw deal, in my opinion. She came into a team already well settled and was seen as a usurper of sorts. In reality Tony was getting older and could not run from trench to trench the way he used to so having two presenters was a good thing as far as that went. Tony came in as an actor and was much more comfortable with public speaking. He also knew several members of the team and got on well with them prior to the show.
      Alex got some heat to a lesser degree, having trouble living up to taking Stewart's place. He had spent at lest 6 years previously doing live-in experimental archaeology in the Farm Series. Therefore, he had not had the experience of a much older and well practiced Stewart.

    It was definitely an easily defensible site in its heyday. A narrow ridge like that would effectively force attackers into single file, and it provides an excellent vantage point for advanced warning of seaborne raiders. The problem of fresh water was obviously solved by using those cisterns to hold rain water. Given the terrain, and availability of resources it's an excellent place for a settlement.

My toughts are that the "island" that you found out was a Peninsula was just easy to defend. Did you check the sea level at the time you where estimating the age of the old setilment?
    Would it be a some kind of fortification on the sea way to diffend the entrance to a beach? trade maybe was something done in the area not just violent encounters.

The guy actually had to physically travel to the mainland, JUST to look at what the other guy found, before he could OK a couple of dig sites? Seriously? That's time very badly spent. Dinosaurs should be excavated, not in charge of excavations. Sorry for the negative comment, but good lord...I really hate to see willful disregard for the value of technology.

      In Dutch a holm is a island thats only partly surounded by water since an isle is an eye in the old tongue. Gate or gaat is a word for going or passing before it bacme a portal in some sort. The island probly was connected to the mainland. Im going to enjoy watching this.

      Yes an no, if you have the smaller fort on the main land. Then fall back across a narrow ridge to a fall back location, you force the Attackers to a narrow path lowering the Attackers assault. With Sword, Slingshot, Arrows, club, an Axe, you stand a Chance.. the "island" in my opinion is similar to a Castle set up for the upper ranks and leader, and the main land side is where you house the Lower ranks an Troop.
      With a Cliff at your back you will fight Harder.
