- A quiet Cambridgeshire village gets the full Time Team treatment as Tony and the digging team hunt for the missing remains of what is believed to be one of Britain's biggest Roman villas.
I've binge - watched TT at least 6x in the past year. So very,very interesting and educational. Thanks to Reijer Zaaijer for all these TT full season videos & other shows he offers. Lastly, thankyou, in that you've provided these great shows WITHOUT commercial interuptions. Perfect.
After watching these I feel I should bury some coins and some pieces of my dishes.
44:48 I’m with Guy in this debate. How much digital records will survive and will be compatible 180 years from now. All it would take would be a solar storm a couple of magnitudes greater than the Carrington event of 1859 to corrupt it.
ive been goingthru alot lately and i fall asleep watching these episodes everynight...i literally feel so good just hearing phils and tonys voice...i feel like i have a friend around or something...thank you for posting alll these episodes idk what id be doing without them :-(
same :(
You and me both...This show helps sooooo much with my anxiety, its far better than any medication.
Completely agree...I watch them every day to ease anxiety before and after work. Tony's voice is so calming. Much love to you all xx
100% agree. I’ve had terrible personal life stress for the last few years. I,discovered your Time Team uploads and they have helped me be calm many nights when I awoke with panic and insomnia. Bless you!
The Real Mrari ditto, I watch every night. I find this show both comforting and fascinating
Raksha, and Phil: Had I, in my childhood, seen these folks loving their jobs, I very well might be an archaeologist.
Such was my dream 50 years ago. The science requirements kept me from even trying. Here in the States, a degree in archaeology require advanced chemistry and math among other things. My dreams of piecing together pottery shards and translating ancient Sanskrit remain dreams. So I watch TT and visit archaeology magazines online and think there's always my next lifetime. :)

It's not simply a job, it's a vocation!
I got to take 3 years of archaeology in university, but due to a medical condition I had to stop.. makes me so sad.. digging sites was so exciting
I agree!
Thanks to Reijar, I've watched so many of these lately that, like Phil, I've tarted to say "Oooh-Aah!" every time I see something interesting!
I have tried multiple times to add my “like” but am unable so to do. I love these Time Team programs. They are timeless! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR UPLOADING THESE VIDEOS. YOU ARE AWESOME, Reijer!
I added a like for ya:)
I added a "loike" also ;)
All hail the Timeless Team :)
He's not awesome. He's a stinking fucking pirate.

Such language fro a *_Guardian of the Peace!_*
Anger management, anyone?
Ruins have taught me a lesson...we work so hard for a beautiful home and then we die leaving it to destruction. The only thing that out lives us is how we changed the world.
pretty concerning at the moment if i follow your thoughts.......
✌
Hello! This channel must be the best on yutube! Makes me wish i could follow the team on an exclamation !😀
Watching these videos what I enjoy most is not so much the archeological digging ( I love archeology since I was a child, I am 79 now) but the beautiful expanse of countryside in England.
IN a few hundred years they may be digging us up.
Nice to see them actually finding some solid structures. The only archeaology I do is in my laundry basket, trying to find two matching socks
Join the club of never matching another sock. Then you have two choices. Wear unmatched socks as a fashion statement. It is actually done. Or do like me & only buy the same type of sock.
@@Nirrrina , My late beloved husband was going to invent a washing machine or tumble dryer with an electronic eye that would deliver socks washed or dried 9depending on weather) in matched pairs.
If you find any you don't recognize, let me know. God knows I can't find my odd socks.
😅 Me too
I love these shows. So educational. Will continue to watch forever as long as they last. My ancestors were British.
I like it when Time Team dig in people's backyards -they are going back to their roots, in a way, especially when you remember their earlier seasons when that was much more common.
I love the way Time Team involves the local community, including young children. Future archeologists!
i love the little boy that says no to rakshar when she askes if they could work on the test pit toghter
They looked so bored.
Hands on education, and being on TV. How cool is that for those kids! They I’ll never forget it!
I'd gladly change places with any bored child!
The best part was the little girl making the bad smell face as Phil and Tony gross her out. Looks like she's going to start crying and call for her Mum.
Glad de la guy mentions that later centuries would not have vast amounts of seriously vintage stuff lying around. It was pre mass production after all. Some/many families have 6 generation silver sets.
I'm a typical American viewer who over the last two years, has watched everything at least twice and in some cases, 5. In all that time there's a few questions I've thought: One, is everything done in those three days, ie clearing brush and any other debris before production is started and two, do some of the clients let what was excavated, to remain so? Thanks before hand should anyone ever happen along to this episode...
Sometimes, they do some sites prep and have teams ready.
Some owners do you leave them ot parts open.
Watch the Tudors first palace episode 😊
28:50 Kid doing his own dig for Roman treasure, LMFAO.
+scott hafer Surely there's gold to be had in England, too? Lol
@@NolaGal2601 small nuggets though
If God didn't want children to pick their nose, he would have made their fingers bigger than their nostrils! :)
Thanks so much for posting.
I wished, I studied archeologie... Now, I'm too old and can only dig behind my house or watch the Time Team
Says who? You can study it, there is no age limit to study. As to where you go from there, that's up to you.
Are there any shows like Time Team set in France or Germany? I'm sure they have an equally rich history and archeological record.
A few were made in *France,* a couple in the *West Indies,* a couple in the *USA,* a few elsewhere in *Europe,* a couple in the *Channel Islands* and a couple in *Northern Ireland.* The vast bulk were, however, in *Britain.*
LOL Guy stood up quick style when she offered wine to the kids. No lol! I Love The Time Team!
Oh I do love Phil's accent.
Try watching Time Signs - Phil's accent in 91 was very mild. I think he let it get stronger/embellished it as time went on.
Chris Pascoe it’s his laugh that gets me every time. He laughs and I can’t help but smile and laugh.
29:03 Since when did the Romans have "manky soap"?
I don't even understand it myself, but, the shows where they find nothing, are still worth watching!
I think it's very simply that they explain how and why they found nothing, explain why that's valuable and do it all in good humour!
38:01 dog chewing on two thousand year-old human femur.
I love to see Tony hustling around, as an 'older man!'. Makes me want to get up, AND DO THE SAME!!
DuraFunk, thank you; answered my question and more. Just checked Amazon. It has some sets and I purchased a couple of books re TT. Started viewing with S01-E01 and into year thirteen at the moment. More than archaeology. Had seen Black Adder; astonished that Tony was the presenter, kept the disparate parts flowing together. Unequaled presentations. I had only watched few here in USA, didn't realize the extent of the program. Thanks to you and Reijer.
The new time team as it were is Dig Ventures
28:47 Kid getting really into archeology and doing a bit of his own. I wonder if he found gold for all that digging he did.
Guy was wrong. Full documentation of this dig is online.
www.wessexarch.co.uk/our-work/litlington
Think Guy hit the nail on the head.
I just love the faces of the little girls😆🤣
Good idea! Let's put Time Team back on the map too, or better still, on the screen!
I doubt if lightning can strike twice. Robin is dead and gone, so is Mick, Phils almost 70. You can start out with a new team but it may never have the magic that the old show had. They tried to do one in America and it just flopped.
Look up Dig Ventures. I found it in the comments on another episode. Familiar faces show.
@@scarletfluerr It was sad that *Time Team America* only lasted two seasons but the approach had to be different. The necessary comparative slowness of *USA* archæologists made 3 days too short and longer digs would have been too expensive. Add to that the _dumbing-down_ (which wasn't all that bad) and you've a recipe for failure however good the other production values are.
29:00 Those poor kids look bored shitless.
Except the little dude digging for gold.
Wow, Guy really outdoes himself in this Episode. One of his best performances.
i need someone to geophys for my missing socks
It would only work if you left archaeological features in them.
I swear I've bought over 100 pairs of socks in the past 5 years I'm down to 3 pairs. It's always 3 pairs. 😒
love "weeding on an industrial scale"
Time Team digging for Roman villas, and little boy at 28:50 strikes gold.
@bored certified: that shot of the kid picking his nose should have travelled around the world. Picking one’s nose is a timeless children’s activity..
There is something very unlikeable about Guy.
First, thanks to the contributor. I have been watching these episodes as often I can. I intend to watch them all. Next I would like to complement the commenters who leave the best responses completely without the rancor found in responses to other contributions on RUclips. My question is what happens after the Time Team leaves the site? Who is responsible for restoring people's yards/property or do they sign away that right in order to have their yards investigated?
TT always restored back as found as a rule a few digs excluded mind - Time Team specials I guess.
There's an short video here on RUclips where they talk to Kerry and he stays behind for a day or two after the rest of the team buggar off with a small team to put everything back to almost as it was before as best they can. They then go onto the next site and prepared for when the rest of the Time Team rock up on Friday. Dull things to watch like setting up the incident room, putting up tents, sorting finds trays and importing Phil's payment of 3 barrels of good ale a day for his meals 😂 its quite an interesting little clip and only about 5 ish mins long
The series are on dvd as well.
I don't get it Tony! There is an in situ tile floor in the copse. I would be looking around there for villa walls. No?
They did.
Why would the locals (especially the parents of teenagers) have objected to the tearing down of the copse? The only use for something like that is a place for the teens to go hide to smoke, drink, and make out, etc.
The copse on Google Earth:
52°03'53.7"N 0°05'12.5"W
The remnants of the cemetery is here:
52°03'42.4"N 0°05'00.4"W
Cheers Stan!
Hmm ... stannous flouride ... a compound formed by the heating of tin in flour? ;)
#wappychemistry
Time Team very inspires me to a archaeologist, so thank you so much time team.
:D
Its nice to share history with people especially the children but did they really have to show that little boy picking his noise? ..haha. Well it was a great dig and nice to see the people of the village take such an interest in their local history. Thanks for posting this video.
Did they check to see if the boy to found anything during his dig?
hahaha
Felix the Bus p
An enthusiastic excavator. Future archaeologist? "Danny the Dig", perhaps?
This episode was such fun !!
one tenth of the geo phys finds nothing in a huge field is no time to panic. take a deep breath. calm down. you found mosaic near the copse. look there.
John Gaters geologists maps are so wrong most of the time, Stuart as a land surveyor has more intelligence than those machines. He(John the Geophysicist) always says there is something there, and more than likely there is nothing. I really like to skip over his explanations of where something is according to his readings, it really makes him look bad if nothing is there.
Something there doesn't always mean a wall, it could be ashes from a burned down wall, a robbed out Trench or deteriorated wood. Just because you don't get a wall doesn't mean John was wrong. Plus you can only go by the readings he can't see through the dirt.
Quote: 'so wrong most of the time.' Really? I don't know what episodes you watched, but in most cases he is totally right, as in this excavation. He and Stewart are two of the unsung heroes of the series, and thats not only my opinion...
"This is a small but major break-through"
Rakshas little helper sure was cute
A little too much drama and antagonism in this episode, but then... I never was very comprehending of British humor.
It's self-deprecatory and mickey-taking. The antagonism you isn't actually _real,_ is just part of the fun.
Why are the archeologists ALWAYS surprised when antquarians' maps and notes are scanty with actual information?
Obviously modern farm plowing has reduced all the Roman pottery to shards. The antiquarians found numerous whole pottery, but all modern digs they are just tiny pieces. The whole notion they 'dropped them' and then they were broken up is probably not true.
Even in secure Roman contexts undisturbed by later plowing, when you dig their ditches and middens, they're FULL of broken pots. The Romans made a lot more pottery than the cultures that came before and after them (in Britain) and they broke a lot of it. Pottery was highly disposable to them, the way we view plastic plates today. You do occasionally find prestige pieces that they've mended with lead rivets, but mostly they just chucked it out.
You only tend to find whole vessels in graves/cemeteries and ritual places (temples, shrines, springs etc). What's unfortunate is that a lot of vessels in those contexts probably survived whole in the ground for the better part of two millennia, only to get busted up by deep plowing and destructive industrial activity in the last 100 years 😕
Why did the camera man choose the child picking his nose and then linger on him?
So, in 500 or 1000 years from now, when Tony’s ancestors are hosting the then Time Team, they will be confounded by I’ll of the funny little smelly white plastic things strewn all over the world?
Is that a dang Anderson Shelter behind Tony at 32:07 ?
the kid at 28:48 is priceless!
Digging for buried gold on Time Team!
@@h0lezee LOL!
Openingshot out of focus. Fire that cameraman!
Was here in October 2019 ,
One man's grave site, another man's gravel pit.
I don't think I'd be very happy to have big trenches dug into my nice grass. I'd do it because it's absolutely fascinating to watch it go on. Not to mention exciting. But I'd still feel very sorry for the poor pretty grass. It would regrow though. Eventually.
Oh dear,...Tony is "frustrated" again!
Thats where he eats..lol.
Frustrating isn't it?
I've watched every previous season of time team and I love it but somehow in this season Tony decided to get snarky and it's ruining the show.
What a bunch of insipid and petty comments.
I rather enjoyed the 'cheesy accents'!
Wish I had Stewart's geographical bump. I'm lost when I go into a shop by one door and exit by another in a different street. Corner shops are not what are meant to be ...
You know... I've watched every episode so far and nobody has been heard to say 'I have a cunning plan'
I have heard(seen) a few say something close to that about Helen. Just needs a bit of "lingus" to go with cunning.
I love heah
Looks like with the overhead shots you can see outlines in the field.
Brilliant ‘black adder was right about him ‘ 👍
45:00 Guy obviously doesn't know how GPS works - the readings given on a GPS device correlate very precisely to coordinates on any given map that shows Greenwich at 0deg latitude and the Equator at 0deg longitude. As long as that doesn't change, then a GPS coordinate won't change either.
I think you've missed his point. He meant quite simply that these things can change and go out of use. It's happening now as there are no COBOL programmers and loads of critical software written in COBOL. His point was that coordinates on GPS may become difficult to correlate with what's on the ground.
@@philaypeephilippotter6532 But GPS coordinates point to the exact same coordinates that are used by the geographic coordinate system of longitude and latitude that pre-dates GPS by many, many years. Even if all GPS satellites fall out of the sky you could still take a set of "old" GPS coordinates and find that place on a detailed map with proper grid reference. It's not like the old OMEGA system that used radio frequencies to plot a point - those coordinates are of no use today because you need those exact radio transmitters to find the location you are looking for, and the transmitters were turned off in the late 1990s. However 37.422°N 122.084°W will always be 37.422°N 122.084°W no matter if the GPS system is turned off (those coordinates are for Google HQ, by the way).
@@philaypeephilippotter6532 that's not how GPS/GLONASS works bud. Those coordinates are universal, and directly correlate to the latitude and longitude coordinates that have been in use since forever. You can use any set of GPS coordinates to find a position on a paper map. Unless the planet changes in size and shape, GPS coordinates are infinitely accurate.
The problem is how long will the digital record last. And if it last will we be able to read it. The biggest natural threat to our technological civilisation is a Solar storm Like the Carrington event. How much would survive?
What about having done the Geophys not in the beginning of those three days, but before?
And doing the testpits not so tiny small as they are dug? Or digging tiny small pits in bigger trenches as Phil did? It's not the proper way of digging such an important building, even if its mostly covered by modern houses.
I'd love to spend a bit of time in Faye's posh room. Boy doing some excavating of his own 28:50 LoL.

You can talk - based on past comments under other episodes, you're obviously totally obsessed with Phil and his trowel. @Leopararouen
8:18 Tony basically every episode lolll
Hey Smokey...how do you put a timecode link in your comments??
Mark Guy's words.
... futteling around ... another Tonyism or true english ?
Are you sure he didn't say "fiddling around"?
He said 'furtled' which is a perfectly acceptable English word (it is chiefly used in British English rather than US English though).
I've watched most of these programs. Some of them 3 or 4 times. It would be really wonderful if Tony would just shut his pie hole. Sometimes he is really rude to John.
You do realize these programs are for entertainment? Which means all kinds of characters playing all kinds of parts. Tony is the foil, he's supposed to be annoying asking questions that the uneducated person would ask and being impatient for results the way people at home are impatient to see if they find anything. The fact that you're commenting here shows he's doing it well. Guy himself said it's all scripted.
Tony is just doing his job, really. Well, one of his jobs. He's the narrator. He's also the everyman, asking the questions the audience would ask. He's also the explainer, putting things in words the audience needs (you can see him doing that really well here, when Phil talks to the schoolkids). He's also the gadfly: when things go well, he asks if that is all he will be given, or if they really have things right; when things go slowly, he asks what's wrong. He's also the court jester, joking around and teasing everyone about their successes and their failures. It is ridiculous to ask one person to do all this, much of it essentially live. And yet Tony succeeds at it. So when he is being rude to someone, there is a reason, and he's working partly from a script for production reasons. He's not doing it to be mean. And you can see that all the archaeologists know that.
@@scarletfluerr I appreciate Tony and his questions and the way he teases. To an archaeological ignoramus like me, he's worth gold.
If you like this you will love Digger Dawn on you tube! :)
She's okay, quite entertaining although she did actually copy Digger Dan, who was far better (sadly not now digging for various reasons)
It seems like Phil is the only male that helps the females dig. The rest stand around doing little.
Based on what I have seen the usual diggers are Matt, Matt "the Dig", Ian, Kerry, plus a few others whom I haven't seen named. Then Faye, Raksha, Brigid, Tracey, Scarlett, and a few others. You don't often see the personnel who speak to the camera digging, except as you say Phil. But I think that is his role as it were.
Well, seeing as how there are a mix of disciplines, that would stand to reason. Stewart is a Surveyor, as is John. It isn't their job to dig. I mean, why do none of the ladies ever help them? Maybe because they're doing their own job? Are you the type to try and "assist" someone with a job you're not qualified to perform?
Matt does his fair share of digging.
19:47 "see the dead roman.... stand back... dead roman"? wtf why talk like that, using deliberately alarming language... poor kids, they're only tiddlers.
yeah weird bloke...
19:05 I know what's on her mind ;)
either "cor, Matt is a lot hotter than my husband" or "I wish my husband would get out here and work as hard as this guy" lol
i dont see that they have anything to complain about, its a job they chose to do, and they get paid whether they find anything or not
I don't see that you have a reason to be complaining. Nobody is forcing you to watch. You could simply watch something else...
I bet Phil goes to peep shows
+Sam Johnstone Do they still have peep shows? I have internet.
It saddens me when I see wanton destruction, such as of the copse, for no reason other than TV ratings.
you would think that they would invest in a chainsaw, but no, lets do it the hard way with axes, just like the auger the hard way
Power tools are not what you'd call "delicate". They do much of the work by hand to avoid damaging any of the archaeology. Leave the planning and logistics to those with the proper qualifications, m'kay?
I love this series but I’m not fond of tony pretending he knows mire than everyone else
He's giving the professionals a chance to explain clearly for the audience.
Someone doesn't understand what a presenter's job is...
bens imagination may get the better of him, but at least he lets them dig, more than can be said for a lot of other people, myself i prefer the trees to be there
Nobody asked.
tony is such a cry-baby!!! Get rid of him!
Shame they kept Phil as part of the team for so long he's not popular with viewers i hear, due to him not being a real archaeologist
Phil most certainly is a real archaeologist and the show is nothing without him. His knowledge, skill level and passion for his work is incomparable.
@32mins, I think that's an Anderson shelter behind Tony. Standing WW2 archaeology?
Did you see any of the stuff they did on WWI and WWII stuff? Awesome urban historical archaeology to watch!
