“Up On Phil's trench it is a wonder how he will make any sense of these pile of stones but at least Phil is happy, “ it is just worth listening to time team for Tony’s sarcasm
I have so fallen in love with this show, and I really couldn't understand it. I'm not that into British history, and Roman is my least favorite time. I realized it's the archeological itself that I find fascinating, and Phil has stolen my heart. I love how excited he gets over a tiny shard of stone, or how he sees so much in the soil changes.
9:26 - It rains on the wide open moors. Phil takes off his coat so it can dry: "Oh, Bliss." And I sit inside, dry, and enjoy all of it. Thanks so much Time Team, for all that you did and do, in past, present and future.
I love watching this, especially to fall asleep listening to at night and I do it so much that I've started dreaming with everyone having a British accent 🤣🤣
hahaha he hasn't got a British accent - I think his soft North American accent is Canadian. I like his voice it's not all shouty like a lot of the younger ones, trying to sound all excited. I like clear explanations and this guy gives us that.
I literally got back from stomp round Bodmin Moor earlier today, looking at the settlement and cairn, to find that this had just been posted. Absolutely superb, it is a great site to visit :-) Well worth also looking at the Neolithic Tor Enclosure on Rough Tor itself as well (there are 3 stone circles that are nearby as well).
You are very lucky. As a CDN I am envious of all the major sites in England that you have there. Being used to a 400 km drive as a short one, I would take every weekend to visit a site on your beautiful Isle if I lived there.
I am flying into the UK from Australia this week specifically to see Bodmin Moor, thanks to this episode! Thanks for the tip to see the enclosures on the summit. I can't wait.
Its just amazing there is so much history in UK's soil that a whole show with so many seasons could be made. Why can't tv be more interesting like Time Team?🙈
@@paradoxxaudiovisualproduct9430 Hahaha i know what you mean, you know you're different when you binge things like this🙈 (good thing i like being different 😂)
It can be beautiful, no doubt, but trust me as someone who lived there for 10 years... when the weather is bad, and it's bad there an awful lot of the time, it's one of the most miserable places on the planet😂 When it isn't howling wind, driving rain or depressing, soaking mist/fog/low cloud it really is a stunning part of the world though!
I just watched the updated commentary on this episode and now re-watching... So glad I found this on RUclips cause I am making to sure to write down each one I watch, and some of what history the crew shares, for some silly reason, also helps in my own genealogy research...The beginning where all you see is Phil walking in the rain up the path, and then sitting in the tent looking out at the scenery in the rain. was awesome!
HOLY COW!! I’m an American and had to look up how far 500 meters is… THAT’S OVER 5 US FOOTBALL FIELDS!! To quote Phil, “that’s a great whacking distance!!”.
Not seen this. I love Cornwall and the stone age so this is perfect! It's very therapeutic watching these again, much of my later childhood/teenage years watching these at home with mum and dad. Good memories.
Sir Tony Robinson “welcome to one of the most inhospitable places in Britain today” Me, looking up from my chair to screen expecting to see “Prime Ministers Question Time” oh, thank goodness for that, it’s TimeTeam.
I used to know the Rough Tor well since my parents lived near by, and my wife, children and myself often climbed the Tor (the children just loved the top). I still feel amazed that there was so much hidden from us under the grass at the foot of the Tor.
This is my favorite episode from time team. What an amazing place, to live. Keep ya Roman temples an villa's, with under floor heating. This is freedom and simplicity, a community living and working together.
Absolutely love Time Team - I live in Wales the land of Castles 🏰 We have 427 of them !! We love a good Castle…. For such a small country it’s bordering on the ridiculous…
Phil Harding is Awesome. I have learned a lot from listening to him. Considering that his family was one of the first in England. Its like archeology explained by the spirit of the European people.
@wewenang5167 he's descended (on his matrilineal side, iirc) from the Celtic Britons who inhabited the land from the British Iron Age onwards-- their descendents diverging into other Celtic tribal groups and interbreeding with later Saxon/Germanic invaders. As such, they are considered indigenous to the British Isles. If you go back far enough into human history, then virtually *no group* can be considered indigenous to *anywhere* , save, perhaps, the place in which the very first anatomically modern humans diverged from our most recent hominid ancestors.
i love this show. it may have been on new zealand tv back then but i don't remember. i wouldn't have watched it anyway. but damn i waite for every episode now.
And Kerry and Ian. . . . This wonderful program is based on both the excellence of the science and the interaction of the crew with the deep cooperation and appreciation of each other that makes them a whole. They don't just show us the cultural heritage of Great Britain, they are a part of that heritage.
My god that's just over the hill for me. If someone wants to see some neolithic ruins in cornwall try a place called minions near to Liskeard. There's a village and stone circles with an amazing view of the south coast of Cornwall. Can easily see plymouth.
I been watching the seriies for a while now. Worked my way up to S14. I seen Mick passed away in 2003 or there abouts and I have to say nothing but admeration for him. It was refreshing to see the thrill and excitment in his eyes with every discovery. You can see the truth and the facts meant more to him than anything else. Mick may you rest in peace good sir and thank you for teaching me about the past.
Back here again in December 2023! Been watching time team since it first started when I was a 11. Its literally timeless. The very show time team will be digitally excavated by archaeologists in thousands of years into the future.
Indeed !! Cute to think that these professionals listen to each other, while their own brains are swirling with knowledge, and hear them explain it to us laymen. And also that they have to shoot certain 'scenes' multiple times, to have it filmed close-up, ànd from a distance without a camera crew in the frame. So much going on, besides the plain old archeology itself.
Time Team were once doing an excavation in the village I used to live in, so a friend and I went down to have a look. When we arrived, Tony was snoozing in the car, the others were having lunch, and the digging was being done by about a dozen students from Exeter University. One of the students found something, so the producer told them to cover it back over with a bit of soil, grabbed Phil from his lunch, woke Tony up, and set up the whole shot of Tony pretending to walk between trenches, coming over to Phil, and Phil lifting away the soil pretending to 'discover' the poor anonymous student's find on camera :p
My absolute favourite I heard in person is Tin-ter-gall. The M&S advert for Davvidstow cheese was pretty good as well. But, I'd promise not to laugh at one single visitors mispronunciations if only they promise to learn how to reverse a car..
I wish I had this enthusiasm working on my property with features of structures coming up everywhere. But gawd darn it! Do I hate that pickax by now. Respect to all those unsung heroic diggers!
At the 31:32nd minute: "All day we've been beavering away..." haha, that's a new one to my ears. Such a delightful and rich language, English. While watching the digging and exploring of this 500 meter trench, I remembered the importance of ley lines, on the surface of planet Earth, which can be compared with the meridians, the energy lines on our physical body. I'm convinced that the ancient tribes, living and working with the material of planet Earth, building their shelters and structures, were deeply connected with the "secrets", and the practical value, of these energy lines. As far as I've read about the subject, and intuitively sense these energy lines, I believe that human beings who lived "once upon a time long ago" had the ability to "work" with these energy lines for the purpose of co-operation with natural laws, organizing a lifestyle for human and animal alike. As logical modern-day people, we might think of ceremonial activities and reverence of deities, on the Tor, similar to the Gods living on mount Olympus in Greece. But I believe that the awareness of natural forces, and how to balance a give and take, working with nature and not against it, was part of these peoples' daily existence, as much practical as ceremonial. What I mean to say is, that the practical side to the making of a living, was merged with a reverence for natural laws, the elements. Working with rock, soil, fire, and water, while breathing the Bodmin Moor air. There you have it, all 5 building blocks of physical form 😊
Totally completely love TT, but surely at 12.23 they were contaminating the soil sample from thousands of years ago with current running water with current seeds and modern pollen! Ignoring that - love TT ! Please bring it back.
Great show. There they go with the "ritual" nonsense. I think they would have had a lot more to worry about than dancing up and down a big hill dressed as pixies. Every time an archaeologist cant find an explanation for something, they play the ritual card. Francis is always saying it. Phil is , of course, more down to earth. He looks at the evidence and, brilliantly, tells it like it is, or like it was. Love it.
Why have Time Team not done an episode on St David's head? The place has at least 7 stone round houses just sitting there In plain sight 😂😂 I'd love to see an episode there
yes, easily. The weather seen here isn't anywhere near as bad as it gets. There's times when the fog doesn't lift for days, and you can only see a few feet. That's when you use that giant row of stones as a marker for where the hell you are
was the weather back than also so inhospitable as it is - now -? and not only -up there -? i think of that every time when i see Phil, cold and miserable and shivering, though still digging. together with the rest of the archeologists
I dont get why if the mound road thing was for the Tor then why is it not pointed at the Tor? Why does it go straight off up one way then curve towards the Tor near the upper end?
Of course, it's important to dig in places where digging has taken place before ... not to disturb other places where an innumerable number of columns of heavy tanks have damaged these ancient monuments forever.
3,000 years of cutting down all the trees for building, firewood and clearing for farming and animals. Ancestors unknowingly ruined the land. The soil is now acidic and trees won't return. Lessons to be learned there.
The soil will always be acidic on account of the granite. Those Tors aren't stuck on, you know 😂 The land is great for production of livestock for food, for clothing, and useful byproducts. I wouldn't be surprised if there is a farm near that place where the dung from modern cattle is utilised as feedstock for electricity generation in a bio-digestor. Our ancestors had no electricity, but did use their cattle and sheep dung for fires.
" Go watch your tv show on the bedroom tv where they dig holes in the ground." This is what my wife tells me when I don't like what she is watching. Time Team never disappoints me.

I have so fallen in love with this show, and I really couldn't understand it. I'm not that into British history, and Roman is my least favorite time. I realized it's the archeological itself that I find fascinating, and Phil has stolen my heart. I love how excited he gets over a tiny shard of stone, or how he sees so much in the soil changes.
Likes archeology hates the Roman’s…Lolol why are people so stupid that’s like saying I like showers but hate water
9:26 - It rains on the wide open moors. Phil takes off his coat so it can dry: "Oh, Bliss."
And I sit inside, dry, and enjoy all of it. Thanks so much Time Team, for all that you did and do, in past, present and future.

500 should have been the clue it just sounds huge.....
500,000 cm! 5 millions mm,!
One meter is just over one yard (about 39 inches). That’s the easy way to figure it…one meter = one yard plus three inches.
Thanks for teaching me that 1 US football field is about 100m long ^^

Nothing like the weather in Cornwall during July.
What a wonderful episode. It makes me want to visit Bodmin Moor now.
Fascinating I am amazed how ancient the Tor is but not surprised.
A cairn can also be a way to protect, preserve and even somewhat refrigerate food so, one inside a living area might literally be the family fridge.
I honestly think if Phil was buried when the BIG shovel in the sky called...he would just be digging away. God Bless you Sir.
One of my favourite episodes
That was good the man allowed Time Team to dig trench three.
Yes, Phil is a delight!
Genuinely had no idea Bodmin Moor was once habited, and I grew up nearby

The archaeologists are great teachers for Tony Robinson.
I am very glad they found what they did after many a year Wonderful
Thank you.
The top gear of archaeology but i liked that too
@11:20 absolutely brilliant.
Phils accent is crazy
Theres Americans who talk like Phil there coastal fishermen its sounds so bizzare..
maybe oversimplification but surely that long stone structure is a sort of road or walkway to have processions up to the Tor
Love the arrowhead in phil's hat, wonder if he knapped it or it was a find ?
I've noted the number of feathers.
Phil knapped them. Pinching finds is not Phil’s style.
We already know it was wooded. For a long time. But never mind. It’s our time team
What really impresses me is in 6,000 years and that's as much soil that the planet could generate?
