I literally came across this show completely by accident last year during the height of the pandemic and I must say, it has become my most favorite show I've ever watched on television and on RUclips! It just absolutely astounds me the sheer amount of history that exists on the British Isles! This team of specialists, professionals and experts all work so well together and they really seem to have fun and it's clear to anyone with a brain that they love what they do. They brave all kinds of weather and the elements to find real answers to the questions they ask and those that ask them to solve. It's educational, informative, entertaining and I love how they involve children and the people of the communities they investigate. What a wonderful treasure this show really is. I have to admit my favorite personality from this show is Phil! I've never seen someone so enthusiastic and eager to put a shovel and trowel into the ground as he is. He really knows his stuff and it's a load of fun to watch him take the Mickey out of Tony when never he gets the chance! I watch this every chance I get. Thank you Time Team, for making these wonderful shows available for us all to watch, enjoy and belly laugh at! And thank you Tony for being such a wonderful host and making it fun and enjoyable for us all!
One other show I recommend watching after youve watched every time team episode that’s history related is ww2 air crash investigations there are only 5 episodes but they are good
If you want more information on medieval hospitals, look into the Hospice at Beaune in France. It is amazing as a museum originally built to serve the poor and those with the plague. When they spoke of how the beds were lined up in this hospital, that’s exactly how they were in Beaune. Wonderful place to visit - they raise money through wine auctions.
Also, every episode has an official archaeology report filed with the British government for it. They are filed at Wessex archaeology and can be viewed as a PDF on request if I'm not mistaken.
Victor did often include members of the team in his drawings; in some of the earlier programmes it was explicitly commented on - though watching these ones on RUclips I'd actually forgotten about it, until reading your comment.
Not only was Victor a prolific illustrator across like eight different genres but he was an extremely generous teacher who wrote several how to books on various types of drawing. Google his name and you will find his Wikipedia he was an astoundingly accomplished man.
You'll never find banter as wholesome and genuinely loving as you see in this crew. Time Team really is a national treasure of its own. 'I think we've got a wall in 'ere Tony!'
My step grandfather, 'Pop' Goldsmith' was head foreman at the Portsmouth dockyard during WW2 and had a few tales to tell. He would have enjoyed this thoroughly ! He and 'Mum' lived on Wadham Road in the old North End. All the streets ran parallel . Mum spoke of walking home one dark winter's evening when the siren went off warning of yet another German air raid. Passing the entrance to an underground shelter where hundreds were dashing down to safety, she chose to take her chances and walk the last few hundred yards home. An attacking bomber dropped a string of bombs across all the parallel housing, hitting each street in the #50 ,killing the residents instantly. Pop and Mum lived at #49 Wadham Rd.At the very moment which could have been their last, the pilot turned off left to head for the naval dockyard, sparing my relatives. However, one heavy bomb headed, by chance, down the shelter's steps which Mum had chosen to pass by shortly before, the bomb killed several hundred unlucky folks and their families the moment it exploded. Such were the vagaries of wartime experience. This was the only wartime experience anyone ever told to me as a young boy.
5 bombs were dropped on Oriel Road that is parralel and the next road north of Wadham road hitting the houses in a line , 10th March 1943. It was probably this raid that is remembered. A
My mother in law did the same thing one night....folks in the shelter died due to a ruptured gas line... I'm not sure where in Portsmouth she was living at the time but she was bombed out 3 times.. I told her many times what an amazing woman she was...her answer was always the same..."we just did what we had to do" ❤
Ikr a fan for years and I only just noticed that. Wonder how many more pictures feature the crew and we had no idea. Will have to rewatch all episodes again to see how often he was being sneaky. . . What a legend
In addition to being a prolific illustrator across several genres (look up his drawings of the Somerset downs for example) Victor was the author of a bunch of books on the topic of how to drawml. He was such a a kind and generous soul.
This is so addictive. Whenever I see a field or hill with some stones or bumps now I wonder where to dig the first trench! And I do not even live in the UK….
I lived just across the green from here (46 Osbourne road) in the early seventies and walked by every day to my job in old Portsmouth and to work on our sailboat in the Portsmouth sailing club boatyard on tower street. Good times in the Still & West with my mates after a hard days work also. Ahhh, to be young, newly married, and doing the thing I loved again!
13:45 take a closer look and see if you're able to recognize the characters in Vic's painting. Vic honors his colleagues in many of his artwork, what a gift to leave with TT family and its viewers!
I addition to being an amazing illustrator he was also the author of half a dozen books about how to draw. The. Man was truly as giving as he was skilled
Hi my eldest daughter Amber and Dad we are all watching the Time Team from all the way down under from Mount Gambier in the State Of South Australian, our 24th times Great Grandfather was King John I. 🥇🇦🇺🦘⚜️👑⚜️🏴🇬🇧
48:30 the Picture of the hospital by Victor is wonderful. Mic with the crutch , Phil next to him and Tony standing beside Phil. Great but of inside art by Victor.
I do not remember this episode, it was good to see. I had to chuckle when they had already uncovered the medieval floor and did not realize it, poor guys.
Domonic was my tutor when I was at Portsmouth Uni! I lived there 4 years and didn’t know the history of the church despite it being a regular passing point on summer walks
43:35 Victor has drawn Mick, Phil and Tony on the left of the fire. At least that's what I think anyway lol edit* damn someone else spotted it first, should have read the comments......
As much as I love every one of these videos, I also find the comments very interesting. I’ve watched so many of them that I can’t ever remember which ones I’ve seen but usually if I read the first comment I’ll remember whether I’ve previously seen it. It doesn’t really matter though because I’ll gladly rewatch them if only to once again live vicariously as an archeologist. Oh, to be able to do it all over again and follow my true love of archeology instead of settling for something that someone else wanted me to do. Sigh 😔
My uncle had a dog that was given to him by a naval officer in Portsmouth when his ship departed. Because of the bombing in WWII, "Goofy" could tell the difference in sound between British planes and German planes, and when he started to whine, EVERYBODY headed for shelter.
What a shame they couldn't carry on and uncover it all. In the past two years though, work on the nearby promenade uncovered many parts of the fortifications. Some of which were left uncovered and you can now walk around.
I don't know if this is the case in the UK, but I've seen many instances of property owners not wanting "official" archeological surveys done on their property because it's usually a long, drawn out process, and might end in legal troubles. Even if the survey isn't done or if they find nothing, the property owner's rights can be suspended until the process is concluded. I see real value in having a show like Time Team do a three day archeological survey, because you don't have to wait for a bureaucracy to get arround to doing it, you don't have to report anything if you don't find anything noteworthy, and you don't have to pay for it yourself. ♥️✌️
just checked my google and it is the old Haslar Hospital you said Portsmouth they say Gosport lol. All of my family went there they were so upset when the MOD decided to close it down as the nearest one was in Portsmouth QE etc. Sorry this one is very close to my heart as i was born in Portsmouth brought up in Fareham.
When they were trying to determine the right position for the trench (circa 26 minutes) it looked very much like the walls on the geophysics were all on an entirely different alignment from those on the superimposed map. Nobody mentioned that at the time, but it looked very obvious to me. Were they finding things from a different period in history?
I lived in Portsmouth came to Australia in 1989 been back for years so it is really great to see this episode. Is this Hasler hospital my Father was a Royal Navy guy and we but I don't think it is which is the same
There is a group called digventures in the UK that does archaeology as tourism and you can actually participate in a real life archaeology dig, it's not time team but it's for real archaeology all the same you should look them up it might end up being the trip of a lifetime for you.
At time 40:54, Helen Geake (British Archeologist and long-time member of Time Team) reads a list of the important people who attended the 4-day party, one of which was one "Prince Platoff". She then remarks that she doesn't know who Prince Platoff was. Prince Platoff is in reality Count Matvei Ivanovich Platov (8 August 1753 - 3 January 1818) was a Russian general who commanded the Don Cossacks in the Napoleonic wars
Tony and Phil makes this show I have to say.... I love the archeology and many of the cast, but its harder to watch the new shows without the banter between these two characters.
All those lovely floors fragmented and competing! The flagstone one and the one with greenstones are things I’d love to have a copy of in my house, but there’s nothing complete! The dissonance is very bad feng shui-makes me shiver!
I read somewhere that after the first episodes Mick was asked to wear something distinctive, so he wore a brightly striped sweater. It was really a bit of a joke, but he was asked to continue with it. I've no idea how true this is.
Love this but also hate this. I’m from Pompey and kept shouting out “what about the relation to the spur redoubt?!” So I’m now watching this alone without annoying the girlfriend
Well, now we've got some idea of what Henry VIII did with some of the churches and monasteries he appropriated during the Dissolution- turned them into armouries and military stores!
@@siliconjim2554 maybe, from his point of view. But whilst he was busy kicking monks and priests out of their churches and monasteries, and either selling the buildings off or stuffing them full of swords, he also destroyed a working support system for ordinary people.
That's what they'd like you to think. It's called propaganda. Illiteracy increased as did poverty and disease. The Church provided structure, culture and care for the poor, sick, elderly and homeless.
I noticed a naval ship- perhaps a corvette (the brief look seemed too small for a destroyer, but I'm an old grunt so what the hell do I know)- but assumed it was RN.
like the pretty start fort from tutor time strangly enough i was thinking that was vauban who come with this kind of fortification if we follow your scholar narative , or maybe vauba was born way before his time and built all the start fort arounf de world , japan russia usa , indis etc,,,, maybe one of you will explain it to me THX
16:20 just the visible marble in the trench at that moment has got to be like a years wages for a craftsman. God the conspicuous wealth of the church in tha time period lol.
Wait wait hold on a second.. You mean to tell me leeches were a myth? They dont work?! So I wasted all this money and time putting them all over me? Figures..
He uses them for scraping but they all have "special uses" the long thin one on the pinky he uses as a pointer. What kind of woman is ok with his Swiss Army knife approach to his nails God only knows.
Please can someone sort out the silly advert breaks? I get you need to have ads but surely just put them in the original breaks rather than mid-sentence every 5 minutes? Very off-putting and disengaging,
I was born in England and love it but left for Europe as on pension could not afford rates and water tax. Here no rates no water tax and 6 acres of gardens. Best idea I had was to retire abroad
Last time I looked, England (or rather GB) is also a part of Europe. Maybe not the so called "continental Europe", but they are still part of the continent Europe. (Here in Sweden we almost always say Europe, and that includes the whole continent - seems to be quite different in the GB).
@@essexginge9167 Which I do find weird since they are and will always be a part of the continent Europe. What you voted about was leaving the EU - which is NOT the same thing as Europe. Also, being an island "race" is no excuse. :P See: Iceland.
@@TheShootist He means that Time Team Classics themselves have released this exact same episode, twice before. Not "other channels" but this EXACT channel.

@@joshschneider9766 Thanks for the info. That doesn't surprise me at all. Make it "official"
The beauty of not growing up with this TV show is now I can watch all these episodes and they’re all new to me 😁
Seeing them again - as I am - is very nice, too.
im american, so we didnt get any cool programs like this. finding them on youtube is like an entirely new thing. it's so awesome.
This one wasn't all that new, because I watched a differently edited version a few months ago. Dear Time Team Classics: Don't do that!
I watched many of them when they were first shown, but I’m now forgetful enough to experience them as if new as well 😅
Allister Bridge
You lucky sod, I'm re - re viewing them a third or fourth time! ^_^
I swear I see Tony and Phill in those illustrations. Those drawings are some of the best parts of this show.
And Mick as well! Completely agree with you, Victor's work was a major contribution to this show!
Rest in peace both of them mick and victor.
It would be nice to think now and again victor added Tony and phill in his drawings sneakily 🤣
13:37 I thought the same thing - the two standing on the left are Mick and Phil, with Tony penciled in to their left...

As an avid lover of Archeology, this show is amazing. It helps me stay calm and helps me with my anxiety. I love this crew! Tony is so cheeky.
Need a millennial hug for your ADHD?🙄
I'm enjoying how Victor is using Phil and other crew members in the drawings 😁

@@natalieg90 watch for Victor’s drawing of Viking raiders leaping off their longships (can’t remember the episode, sorry!) …😀
Yeah, I actually giggled out loud when I noticed that. Victor’s art is always great.

One of the best episodes for seeing the current environment around England.
This show would be a hit aired a PBS channel in America.
I think its so cool to live near a place that you could find runes like that. I just find that fascinating.

Phil is the happiest man alive when it comea to archeology
At 14:05, that's obviously Mick, Phil, and Tony. Such a great touch by the artist!
Oh wow i remember this, i live just up the road from this church and green 👌👌
43:35 love the joke about Phil Harding & company being contemporal guests of the infirmary.
All those years of my school using the green for sports and we had no idea what was below our feet!

29:25 another example of Ian's exceptional big digger skills.
He could scrape the icing off a cake with that thing… no problem. Excellent skill.
@@sekhmara8590 There's a video of Ian picking up a grape and dropping it into Paul's open mouth.

There’s a clip somewhere where he literally peels a banana with the teeth on the bucket.
I saw that one a while back. One episode they digging in clay and Ian taking thin scrap the whole length of the digger.
I find it amazing. British do archaeology with diggers and backhoes. Americans dig with puddy knives. tooth picks and tooth brushes.
First aired 24th October 2010 UK
This infirmary- chapel combo makes me think of the Hospice de Beaune - likewise well-endowed- perhaps mostly with vineyards?
What is interesting is that leaches can be used to reduce large bruises.
I briefly lived around the corner from this church back in 99.
I lived in Portsmouth came to Australia in 1989 been back for years so it is really great to see this episode. Is this Hasler hospital my Father was a Royal Navy guy and we but I don't think it is which is the same

Please can someone sort out the silly advert breaks? I get you need to have ads but surely just put them in the original breaks rather than mid-sentence every 5 minutes? Very off-putting and disengaging,
RUclips decides where the advertising goes, and it never makes sense.

Quite a few whiners here. If you don't enjoy watching, go away! And, enough of the american "political" b.s. commentary. 🙄🙄
True on there from a USA citizen 😊
I love the very nice and beautiful women historian. She would have been a great addition to the show.
Isn’t ageing cruel …
Nope, I love it. Growing older is a privilege few 😊get .

I was born in England and love it but left for Europe as on pension could not afford rates and water tax. Here no rates no water tax and 6 acres of gardens. Best idea I had was to retire abroad
Last time I looked, England (or rather GB) is also a part of Europe. Maybe not the so called "continental Europe", but they are still part of the continent Europe. (Here in Sweden we almost always say Europe, and that includes the whole continent - seems to be quite different in the GB).
@@Elora445 the British don't see ourselves as "European" its why we voted to leave we are an island race and we like it what way

Which I do find weird since they are and will always be a part of the continent Europe. What you voted about was leaving the EU - which is NOT the same thing as Europe.
Also, being an island "race" is no excuse. :P See: Iceland.
@@essexginge9167 lol, an island race? Yes, those great islanders, the Romans, Normans, Saxons, and the rest of the invaders you are descended from.
@@Elora445brexit saw to the end of that. Governmentally the UK is absolutely not part of the European union

Another re-release that's already on your channel. Come on release something else that's not already on your channel. Like Khabib says this is #1 BS
there are no episodes which have not been released to RUclips. Stop whinging.
@@TheShootist He means that Time Team Classics themselves have released this exact same episode, twice before. Not "other channels" but this EXACT channel.
@@TheShootist Stop whining about people who are absolutely right with their criticism about this channel. And stop pretending you don't understand what this criticism is about.
