Tony Robinson and the diggers visit the perfect Oxfordshire town of Burford to investigate the location of a medieval hospital in the stunning grounds of Burford Priory, after evidence is found of even earlier archaeology. Pieces of pot discovered in the vegetable garden suggested the Priory was not only once home to a hospital but also one of the rarest of archaeological sites: a lost Anglo-Saxon settlement.

Love that the children were actively involved in the digging, and making the model of the village . Mick , bless him, was a true teacher.
i cant stop watching Time Team episodes. I think its so fascinating because, no matter how old the episode is, the archaeology never changes. Sure, the computer power and tech has come a long way since the the first series, but a trench is a trench and the digging is always the heart of the show for me. Love it love it love it.
Hearing the theme music and seeing everyone’s faces gives me a warm feeling inside, but seeing Mick always makes that warmth just swell a bit more. This show and these people were in our homes every week and I used to LOVE it! (Still love it! And have been binge watching RUclips for them) 😁
Funny...being a American...I don't watch any American programs 😁 Love Time Team, Escape to the Country, Kirsten and Joerg..... ❤
Other great shows I highly recommend are 24 hours in police custody and BBC's Ambulance. If you like British comedy, you might also want to watch Peep show.
That’s funny because I’m British and rarely like British tv. I love Time Team, but I prefer a lot of American tv 😂
Try Escape to the Chateau
🇺🇸. ♥️🙏❤️
That's strange... i'm half English half Russian & all i watch is Time team & instructional videos on shoulder launched rockets.
My favourite episode is whenever Paul Blinkhorn shows up.
Not only does he have the most amazing knowledge of pottery, apparently he's got sass too!
Yep, he's got "big stone ones" XD
Talk about not judging a book by the cover - Who'd possibly place a big old biker like him as an expert on bits of busted pots?
@@peterjackhandyBrian may is most famous for being a member of the band queen but he's also an astrophysicist with experience on several totally one of a kind space science projects. And he saved and rehabbed a woodland in his home village.
I always have an episode playing on my tablet, under my pillow at bedtime. A comforter. Works every time.
Great ASMR!
@@ericjimenez469
Yes indeed, Doctor lol.
It got me through covid - you can doze in and out without missing plot, there's no drama or conflict, and the voices are soothing
Same!
Now there's a lesson that those children will never forget, well done Time Team!
I love the way Mick works with the children, I thought they looked like they had fun. Good Job Mick🙂
Does anyone else get super excited when Paul Blinkhorn rocks up? I hope he's in the new series
Unless things have changed he is not, neither are Raksha and Phil. Paul had 'artistic'differences' long before, the same as Mick, and left long before the old show ended. You can find him on FB though!
@@hogwashmcturnip8930 thank you
He's on Twitter. I've had a chat or two with him 😀, oddly enough not about archaeology...
He is now! He was a big part of the Anglo-Saxon Cemetery (Winfarthing) episode, if I recall correctly.
For some reason i don't think Phil minded being outdug by 9 years olds, i can almost see the smile on his face saying good for them , lol.
What an absolutely gorgeous Medieval English town and priory 🏴
It's really nice how you get the local children involved and interested in archeology, our history is very important 👍☮️
RIP MICK....YOU WILL BE SADLY MISSED.....LOVE HOW THEY INVOLVE LOCAL KIDS....
The "perfict" Time Team episode all engineered by the diggers, and a great commentator, miss you all and thank you for the enlightenment and the education, you made my Sundays Xxx
Everytime I see an episode where they bring in the school kids, I wonder if any of them grew up to become archeologists.
I'm not sure this episode is old enough for them to have grown up yet.
@@Saberjet1950 Wiki says original air date is 31 Oct 2010, so perhaps the question I should have asked would be are they studying archeology in University.
I thought it was older than that.
I discovered Time Team 3 months ago. Yes, I know how late that is 😝 But I’m stuck watching the episodes and background information on the series since then. The shows become a morning habit for a week at a time sometimes for me. Great stuff!
Such a rich history side to this episode. But how underused are people like Stuart. Hopefully the new episodes wiil provide all the background material that used to end up on the floor.
Ok it was really adorable watching them tell an interactive story of the history of the town with the kids!
These programmes are simply brilliant!
God bless you mick.. Legend
I wish there was a collection of Victors drawings and paintings.
I think there is a book
Time team no matter when you watch it is glorious to watch.
Truly a classic! Can’t wait for the new ones to finish filming and show up!
In my younger days I wanted badly to get into archeology but that wasn't to happen for me. Now I'm very interested in watching your channel dig up history. I love it, I get almost as excited when something is found as you all do. Thank you very much for sharing this with us !
I wonder how many of those children became archeologists, or something in the field. Smaller things have awakened such passions.
im always excited to see when they bring the school kids into the dig and let them experience real archeology first hand. you just know one or two of them had to take that experience and stick with it
That would be such a cool little field trip, even if it was only nextdoor, and you know those kids had more fun playing in the dirt and finding pottery shards than they would have had doing bookwork. No doubt one or two decided that archeology sounded like a fun thing to do when they grew up.
I wonder too, the episode apparently came out during 2010 so if the kids here are around 7-11 they will be in the range of about to go to university or come through university in the last year or two.
I live British humor. The banter is so funny.
It's Paul 'Blinking Blinkhorn!
"Anglo-saxon poo pottery" alliteration of the day! :-D
this is why England and really Europe as a whole is so interesting..the fact you can stick a shovel in the ground anywhere and more then likely come up with an ancient artifact..
@@karlkarlos3545 This is why she says 'Europe as a whole'.
@@mayapanika105 My bad. My brain must have jumped that part.
So much history just in that town. 2000 years of occupational evidence
Lol that poor archaeologist working away while Tony was like THIS TRENCH WAS A TOTAL WASTE OF TIME
the metal dectorists have had an annual dig called Detectival outside Burford in 2017,18,19 and lots of Roman stuff was found
maybe the new time team can take some of that data and try to find where the roman settlement or farmstead was actually located.
@@ghomerhust have to hope they read all the comments then.
LOL. Tony misheard right at the beginning (0:45) when Mick says "Wouldn't have thought so." to his question about sorting it out in 3 days and the msiconception runs right through to the start of day 3 (33:16)
Still a great epsisode.
Not at all, his comment about his optimism was clearly sarcastic.
20:57 That whole segment is comedy gold.
…in the vegetable patch. Classic Time Team 🤗🤓😁
I will miss Phil yelling at Tony! " Get out of me trench".
I won’t miss Tony at all. Probably put up to stirring up trouble by the producers. Good riddance.
I miss phil yelling at Tony! But glad u shared ur feelings!
@@1dkappe He made the program great.
@@larryzigler6812 meh. I could do without him.
@@1dkappe "Riddance"? LOL, he was the presenter in all 20 seasons you clueless bozo. Don't come up here just to throw hate.
I love your history hippies dig history up! Good job
20:56 - 21:20 John's caught-out schoolboy look is priceless 😂 I'd love to play poker with him
Yup . I sure miss Mick .😔
Kids NEED to get dirty.
Great episode.
Wat a gem, the explanation using the kids and their artwork. Loved it. More, please.
Ohhh arrre Tony are you about to invent twitter in that t shirt! Stone the crows..
Amazing episode, thank you very much, Time Team!
Those drums are soooo satisfying to listen to
Excellent episode
I do believe I would enjoy an ale with Phil.
A great video.Thanks for the investigation. Cheers all! 🇬🇧😊👍🇺🇸
Lovely with those kids helping out!
So interesting as usual.. ty guys!
Love mic and phil's enthusiasm
Thanks for sharing.
another great show !!
RIP Mick
Fascinating stuff thank you from S.Africa.😊
Love this show.
More episodes 😀
A lovely town with lovely people . In the summer of 2000 my son of about 8 months and I as Lt. Colonel John Lilburne ( O.C. Lt. Col Ret of Dragoones ) and my wife were given the honour of leading the Burford Guard and the Carnival procession on Leveller Day . We had driven across the country to honour those prisoners at the Church who were finally executed for their forward thinking and beliefs after the events of the English Civil Wars when the franchise was denied them by the nobility and wealthier sort that still made up Parliament at that time . A wonderful and memorable occasion for my family .
Love Burford, in our time at BZN we used to visit Burford regular.
How about Season 20 Episode 5.....the best you have ever done!
Great video guys
Great episode
Mick: TEMPUSGREX! CONVENIT!!!
I have always wondered if they had a fourth day the story would change again
Yes.
I have only ever seen one episode where it was a 4th day lol but cant remember the episode 😅🙃
There have been several where it lasted longer than three days, but most of those were planned to be longer. And even the "normal" dig lasts MUH MUCH LONGER than 3 days. When the show stops filming, archaeologists continue with their tasks and finish what they started (they don't leave skeletal remains "half dug up"), and then is the long arduous job of recording everything, cataloging, and finally closing up the dig or turning it over to a local historical society who may continue for months or years. They don't just toss everything in the trunk and drive away come Sunday night. The Tonys and Micks and Phils have "regular" jobs and can't stay, but the student and field archaeologists will continue.
@@maxsdad538 Phil Harding is still only a field archaeologist, he has never held any formal qualification, he first became known for his flint knapping and in 2008 was awarded a honorary doctorate.
So... Did Tony find any strangely shaped turnips in the garden? !
You'd be surprised what can "turnip" in the garden. Sorry, I'm so ashamed...
Excellent ♡
I think we can archeologically date Mick's jumper by the width of his collar as it stretches over time. Antonia paying respect to Mick's jumper as well.
The "professionals" clearly had more fun with the kids than the kids did with the Profession
Wow the floor tile that Mick found is very like the floor tiles in the dinning room at Cleeve abbey in Washford Somerset
Why didn't you look at the saxon tower and carvings in Burford Church, there was absolutely a Saxon settlement at the crossing, and the tower was incorporated into the Norman church.
"Hi honey, how was school toda...oh my goodness what have you done to those trousers?"
"We got to make big holes and found roman stuff in the dirt mom! It was great; we're archeologist now!"
I wonder why they haven't considered that the roman pottery might just have kept on being used, well on into the later periods...It was, after all, of better make, and much nicer looking, than the later stuff. It could have been passed down like great granny's china...Tucked in a cabinet or something like, and pulled out only for special occasions.
nice.....
I loved that episode. But I could have sworn I have seen it before. So I checked, and yes, It's a re-upload -- again! First aired on this channel on 03.02.2020. Unfortunately you have done that a couple of times now.
I was also confused for a bit while watching, wondering whether I'd seen it already, turns out it's a re-upload indeed 👀
I think the re-uploads are when they have secured the rights to show the episodes in the UK. If you are in the UK you only seem to be able to view episodes back to December 2020, the first being 'The Trouble with Temples'. Switching my VPN location means all episodes on the channel are available.
What is the first sign of a hospital in history???? THANK YOU!!!!!!
First aired 17th October 2010 UK
almost 11 years to the date, and still a joy to watch!
Thank you! Anyone who posts a Time Team episode really ought to include the original air date. =^[.]^=
How do land owners deal with these finds? I for one could not rebury said finds. I'd have to blend them in, or keep going to see what else could be discovered. I love finding lost treasures.
I always wonder if anyone has continued to do the archaeology in places like this.
In alot of cases, Yes. Or they will be, when funds become available.
This sight was started up again not too long ago and they used Time Teams data and credit them for the jump start on the new dig.
What if their was a medieval doctor who liked collection pottery such as that Roman and Saxon pottery?
if that was the case the collector be laughing in his grave like "They have no idea that it was me"
I wonder about things like that as well. In a thousand years will people be digging in the old ruins for the British Museum and say, "Wow, look at the all the archelogy here - so many different cultures lived here ... " ;)
Mick was one of the people who came up with the idea of this show along with Tim Taylor. Tony was the show host. Here s a link for Mick: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mick_Aston .
For American viewers, the Cotswolds in England is sort of like Martha's Vineyard in the US.
You already released this.
I just love this episode it's both fun and odd things in it a possibility of different ages & eras the ever possible hint of the Romans just a possible hint of them being there I mean clearly there was some signs of them being there or are there materials being moved there to all the way up to the Tudors wear some of the standing material of buildings were taken down not all of them clearly I find it funny the hint of all that history and mystery it's just absolutely interesting very fact that Nick was just insistent on trying this place out it was a great idea I hope he's doing well on the other side I like how they had a bunch of kids help them and Phil he's like Tony get off and me back! I got a permission slip I got a permission slip to dig here
They should try the primary schools today and tell the children to help dig the archeology about their ancestors 😂
One would like to uncover Faye
I wonder how many of those kids are now in Uni studying archaeology. They should be around the right age now, right?
Poor Tony, Mick constantly ignoring his attempts at bickering and puns...
TFS, GB :)
FWIW, Burford Priory is owned by Elisabeth Murdoch, daughter of Rupert Murdoch. And if Cuthred of Wessex, the Anglo-Saxon King of Wessex in the 8th century is buried at the Priory, then it's a good guess that there was an Anglo-Saxon settlement there.
32:35 - this has nothing to do with this GREAT show...but could someone please tell me what he is drinking & what's bobbing around in it. :)
Pims with bits of fruit bobbing about
Sangria
Not Sangria: Pimm's. Floating in it is mixed fruit and cucumber.
Ohhhh arerr toney nice t shirt.... Stone the crows!
44:25 - anyone else see the supposed 'maze' in the garden to the left of the Priory?
It's not a maze, it's a copy of the Chartres labyrinth which is a symbolic representation of the pilgrimage to Jerusalem if you couldn't get there. It was made by monks and nuns of Burford Priory in around 2006, using a lawn mower. The community left Burford in 2008 and the building became a private house. The community is going strong in Worcestershire under the name of Mucknell Abbey. I was one of those who made the labyrinth.
It never fails to blow my mind that you can literally put a hole in the ground anywhere in Europe and find something centuries old… but come over to the US and we don’t have history like that… I’ve heard of people finding arrows here (Pacific Northwest) but just around rivers, and not a whole lot else.
Not only is pig poo good for pottery it also allows bread to rise without vracking
These kids are now in their early 20's. Wonder how many picked up archeology as a hobby or career?
I'm confused, do we miss Phil and Tony? When I read the comments right below, it seems that both have left the Time Team.
Didn't they choose to keep on trucking, after almost deciding to stop? With a few new team members? Phil may have left, yes, I've got a vague recalling of that choice, but Tony? Probably he'll continue to pop up, and step away from the camera as quick, with his usual enthusiasm for a long time, and even when he's in his grave, his ghost will continue to pop up, frightening the present Time Team members. Wouldn't that bring a tasty flavour to the menu? 😁
As far as has been indicated Tony will not be back .He has plenty of other fish to fry. And Phil, bless him, is 71. But he is still active ,having celebrated 50 years in September. But to expect him to be grubbing around in a trench is a little much. He has Another project anyway - Salisbury!
Tony Robinson
Sod off Boldrick
I don’t think that Phil would be so irresponsible as to break the law and dig where he shouldn’t.
Cute
did I hear correct Stewart grow up there 30:40
No, the town grew up along the road. (Stewart is from Morley in Yorkshire.)
Anybody knows the story behind Mick's colorful sweaters?
Not sure, but curios as well!
i assume it is because he is Dr Snuggles, Friend of the Animal World
Someone said that they asked him to dress better - or more colorfully, not sure which - so he wore a crazy sweater to get back at them. It turned out that the viewers liked it, so he kept wearing it.
@@JonFrumTheFirst spite can be adorable, i suppose
Lol no you will find Prof Aston also has a variety of beanies, scarfs as well as jerseys all knitted by his adoring fans, as one can see he is partial to his stripes.
