Mick "I don't do running." a man after my own heart
That quote deserves a shirt, with credit given to Mick!
One of Satchel Paige's rules for long life was to avoid running at all times.
@@gregb6469 Along with Fat Albert's "No, no, no, do not like to run."
@@gregb6469 Yes, my knees would buckle under me!
He still has a decade left, poor chap. Hard to believe he's only 55-56 in this episode.
Stewart is the definition of an expert to me. He finds a lost Roman road in one day of looking. They're on a perfectly ordinary field and he's pointing out the outline of a 2000 year old road... 🤯
Indeed. He is an impressive bridge between, let's say, Robin Bush (which is a complete archivist, looking for historical evidence in the books) and the digging team in the field.
Time Team came about because Mick Aston had a couple of hours to kill one day while waiting for a train, and he went for a walk through a town. On that walk, in under two hours, he deduced the town's medieval layout and the likely location of some missing buildings. He talked about his deductions to Tim Taylor, who realised that with the right experts you could learn a lot in a very short time, and eventually managed to get Time Team produced.
@@maisiesummers42 thats ...barely near accurate. Try again.
@yi qx bro....
yi qx: legions in Great Britain were made up of men from all over the empire. They cavorted with local women and dropped their seed which contributed to the mixing of the original population. Of course the British do not like to admitting it. The same happened in Italy and all over Europe. A little doggerel in Italy goes like this: ‘watch out young man, Napoleon takes all men, young, ugly and handsome’ - thus he formed the ‘gran arme’e’ wherever he travelled in Europe. The British did the same to build the growing empire.
Awesome episode. I'm a surveyor and I've been designing and building roads for 30 years. The principal hasn't changed drastically in 2,000 years. Cross sectional shape with a crown in the middle. Stormwater runoff sheds laterally to water tables or kerbs on the sides. Structural design comprising layers of metal aggregate varying in thickness. Larger particles at the bottom, smaller particles on the top.
Brilliant episode.
Ermine Street appears to have been a Roman version of a multi-lane freeway. In other episodes, Time Team uncover the remains of paved local Roman highways. Smaller side roads, with only two - four lanes, were built with the same materials, but were built without paving. Basically, like a modern, well-graveled, country road. ;)
I did some surveying for forestry. Gotta love the tech! (But I can throw both an engineer's and topo chain if I need to!)
RIP Pete, so much knowledge and such a great teacher and presenter.
Which one was pete? I almost watched it twice looking for the nameplate for pete. 15min in and I havent seen him.
Nvm. He comes in at 16:40
@@metallifan9first 12:44 Pete Reynolds of Butser Ancient Farm. The gentleman explaining the workings of the Flue to Phil.
Glad he got to work this site before his passing, what a way to go out. RIP Pete.
@@blktauna thank you for the info. I just watched it and came back to look up who he was.
It seems almost every episode Stewart swoops in and saves the day, his profession is too underrated and under appreciated
It’s teamwork, and every member brings a unique skill set to the dig.
I love these shows about the ancient British Isles, where all my family came from. It was all lostwhen they came to America. It is much more appreciated than faje shows like Oak Island, who funds that crap anyway?
45:29 - love that Victor's drawing includes a patron relieving himself on the side of the building.
Lol I had to go back an look 😅
Gotta be realistic
If you gotta go...you gotta go.
Fell in love with time team during the pandemic. Still haven’t stopped binge watching, Americans didn’t know about it until now o.O why didn’t someone tell us???!!! Such a great show!
they did a US VERSION OF THE SHOW but it was not followed as not as good
A lot of us *did* know about it. Discovery channel used to show Time Team episodes back around 2000 - 2001.
@@RKHageman that explains it, I was in 10th grade at the time and must’ve missed the memo, still so happy to have found it :)
@@Rand0mFemale Yes, that year was just after season 6, I believe, or 7. The first episodes I ever saw on Discovery were Papcastle, and Thetford Grammar School. Fell in love with TT, but then we gave up our satellite service for several months and when we restarted it, Discovery had stopped carrying Time Team. I thought it had gone out of production… imagine my surprise in 2018, when I discovered that 1) it had run for 20 years (!), and 2) almost all the episodes had been uploaded to RUclips. 🎉 ❤
Victor Ambrus' work is just stunning. Fantastic artist
Mick is so vibrant and healthy in this episode. May he rest in peace.
Time Team is definitely one of my favorite shows😊😊😍💕💕🙏🙏 just love it 😍😍
Rest in peace Peter, archeology thanks you for your service to it
Wow. You don’t have delusions of grandeur much.
Rest In Peace Peter Reynolds, thanks for helping give me this show in my life
i am American i was unaware of this show at the time but have been loving watching these episodes on here. it makes me sad because this is the kind of thing i have been wanting to see on TV my whole life, but it seems the masses would rather watch scandalous reality shows and talent competitions.
That is so true!
They did a dig in the US too, at one point.
@F K we do have some great civil war sites. And Jamestown has been incredible, not to mention, Charleston SC.
So true!
@F K dude.
I love that I have discovered Time Team. This is absolutly the best television program out there.... no hate, race cards or drama LOVE IT! RIP Peter Reynolds
Medieval brewers burned down their malting house:
"Did that happen often?"
"Well, it seems to be a regular occurrence when they were making beer."
Why
@@patrickglaser1560 they're not dry though. Not initially anyway. you take the corn in (corn being the historical term for a seed grain from any given region - wheat, barley, oat, or in the case of American natives, maize), hydrate it and apply low heat. this facilitates cellular activity and replicates environmental conditions of spring to germinate the seed. Then when most of the corn is germinated, you need only apply enough heat to kill the seed. You don't necessarily want to roast it. And the grains are protected by the ceramic or fresh clay floor, in practice. They shouldn't ever contact naked flame.
The issue here is that when dealing with heated gases in a tube, they will typically not flare up until they are exhasted. Where they become essentially like a thrown-flame. So i would think that the typical failure would have been that after a long burn, where a lot of energy was already in the bricks, the super-heated gasses passed through the tubes without fully combusting, found their way out of the three exhaust ports near the floor of the exterior, merged with air, burst into open flame, then licked up the sides of the exterior wooden walls and eves, and set the building alight. Burning it from the outside > in.
Another possibility is that repeated use dried the surrounding foundation, shrinking the earthworks, causing cracks, and the flames erupted up through the floor.
To much quality control tasting. =)
Yay! Classic Time Team! This is fantastic! I do hope YT gives a better contract than reruns on one network only available in UK. Our history is international, is it not? The production of this show was and now is again.. Brilliant. Of course I support on Patron! History and archeology is so important.
And those amateurs did a better job recording their finds, trenches, and work than some of the professionals that Time Team has followed up on.
So sad to lose Pete, his knowledge, enthusiasm and great sense of humor were always enjoyable.
And the way he treats others.............
I'm astounded that they demolished that beautiful old home!
Houses from the Victorian Era were often equipped with gas lines in the walls for indoor gas lighting, electricity would be added much later. Plumbing may have been very primitive and updated in ad hoc invented adaptations. I can imagine a horrific list of expenses that may have been required that might have justified the destruction.

@@joebombero1 that or the communists that occupy the council positions who hate private property bought it, tore the house down and put up subsidized housing or public use land in line with their political ideology.
@@maxdecphoenix you knob, they turned the land into a park. Were you even listening to the video, or just looking for a place to spout your nonsensical word vomit?
@@maxdecphoenix wow u are insane
Anyone else watch TT episodes and have google earth open at the same time looking at what these areas look like today or is that just me.
No, but I’ll be starting!
Your comment is fully on point!!
Love Time Team so, so much! Discovered them several months back (during the first part of COVID stay-home/stay-safe) and they've definitely helped me keep what's left of my sanity. You just can't beat how serious and knowledgeable the Team members are about the archaeology yet how well they get along - great sense of humor! (Archaeologists and their beer!) I wish this series could have lasted 20 more years but am very thankful that the videos exist. Thank you!!
Phil Harding is still digging. Look for his name and "Waterloo". Fascinating series on its own.
@@DodiTov I did, and you're absolutely spot on - a genuinely fascinating series in its own right!
Every time I watch them uncover old Roman history it amazes me how much Britania went backwards for so long after the Romans left
This is one of my favorites seeing the old girl make good and end her legacy to the site priceless 😊
I love things Roman and British. This is the perfect combination. These programs are awesome.
Yes, Roman and British is perfect combination; Roma ha conquistato, dominato, costruito e CIVILIZZATO; la grandezza, la potenza, la magnificenza, lo splendore e la GLORIA DI ROMA EST AETERNA, ROMA INVICTA ET LUX MUNDI 💪💯
Time Team: Destroying Gardens since 1993.
I really want a tee shirt that says that! Of course, the other side is the wonderful discoveries found in those gardens.
Go ahead print one you have my blessing.
If it looks good let me know I'll get one to 😊
I've watched so many of these TT episodes I can date the pot by the thickness of the lip curve.
🤣
That`s exactly how I judge the hornyness of Lady Guinevere :)
🤣 Same!
I can tell what season it is by Mick and Tony’s hairlines.

42:00 "I've never heard such a string of obscure excuses in the whole of my life." He obviously doesn't have kids. 😂😂😂
Stone of crows, what a great episode!
I love how Tony is always frantically running around, and how he occasionally gets others to do the same.
😆😆🤣🤣
Tony always running like he stole something. 😂
It's so funny when he pulls that lovely guest archaeologist lady and they start running like schoolchildren 😂
@@mandelbraught2728 Mick.........................'I don't do running'
Good wholesome shows that most anyone w an inquiring or curious mind will enjoy..Enjoyable time well spent
"I don't do running" - M.A.
Exactly my motto 😊
I have followed this show for years. Now that I am retired I can finally binge watch
This is the only way I can get to do archeology.
My daughter is going to university for Archeology and History. This is my only way as well.
Me too
Me too. Too disabled.
@@WhatSarahLikes1 you could always volunteer with research, drawing or washing the finds. all as important as the diggers.
Maybe keep Phil's tankard topped up !!
@@marcbolland6992 trouble is, I live in Canada. Don't know if or when I'll ever get to the U. K.
What great pub crawls we used to have my favourite was the stag the Vic and the harrow great memories
I have a drinking game where you drink every time Mick says "area". You dont get pissed drunk, but he says it enough every episode to get a good buzz going :D
There is also "Well, it might be" which always drives Tony mad haha
I use 'actually.'
Another wonderful episode of my favourite television show. I love revisiting the glory days with most of the Team on site.
❤
I feel the same and I am just so grateful that I have access to this.
What a pretty old house that had been torn down. Ive always found it fascinating how 2000 years ago you're on normal ground then 2000 years later that is 1 or 2 feet under ground by then.
Beautiful artwork. I'd love to see prints available.
Indignantly at 34:00 "It's a wonderful ditch!" I lived in St Albans for a decade and would have loved to come volunteer to shovel wheelbarrows around a real Time Team dig. So many great finds that, taken together, describe a complex little hamlet frequented by Roman soldiers and locals alike.
How interesting! So much history!
Another EXCELLENT Program! Thank You for these very useful & informative shows. Peace & Health to all.
One of the best episodes of one of the best shows on earth.
"I'm looking for the pub!"...damn he makes archeology fun! I
Time Time is my addiction. The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has archeology digs but nothing like dear old Uk.
Excellent detective work....wonderful production. Thanks so much.
The item in Tony’s left hand in the intro is a millstone. That cut pattern is characteristic of the type.
SIR Tony Robinson! Funny ol' chap
I had to watch a second time to understand who Peter was...as I am watching this during a Covid shutdown, I ponder whether this show, the news about Peter, and our comments when later watched and read some day, will be an electronic dig of the past. Peter's news made me cry but we got to witness his passion to the very end. Thank you for taking us on your ride.
I had to back it up and find out he was as well. He seemed too young to die.
I really wonder who dislikes something like time team? "History" Channel?
Aliens. It's always aliens.
@@taterkaze9428 I am not saying its Aliens...but its...oh you get it
Bah! Pay them no mind I say & keep on diggin :)
I think that there are people- probably kids- who just go on any site and hit the thumbs down. No rhyme, no reason
I’m tempted to thumbs down just for all the adds!
Love me some Time Team!!
Guy: Hey Phil, how's it goin'?
Phil: POT!!!!!!! POT!!!!!!! Date it, POT BOY
Rest easier than you did at work Peter.
This is one of those videos that makes me wish for another day or 2 of digging. Never understood why they didn’t go for a 5 day dig :P
First, Mick Aston planned it that way from the beginning- they are site-evaluation digs, not complete excavations. Second, the archaeologists are professionals and academics- most of them had classes to teach Monday morning or other commitments during the week. The digs were a weekend project several times a year.
6:26 "i've already done it" .. clever man
Mick should have played Dumbledore and Phil should have played Hagrid.
And Tony should have played Dobby
Omg yes 😂
Phil is too petite.
Outstanding!
What a pity they tore down that marvelous country mansion after the owner died. Such a loss! I am looking for pictures of the Dedmond (sp?) mansion and only find reference to a Great House, which does not look like the same building. Where can I find images of the destroyed home of the Dedmond Family? I must cry over them.
Their name, I believe, was Debenham. Try that..
"We need to find the road". Me, at my screen: Stewart!
RIP Mr. Reynolds
What's the recipe for ancient beer? Hmmm...it would be nice to drink the beer and watch these guys!
Mick in an excellent vertical stripe jumper :)
That journal should be published! :-)

Mick, "I don't do running."
A wise, wise man.
Bravo ! Always !
It was a Roman ,"Comfort Village " of course. The naughy things that went on there you can hardly imagine !😛
Another big Thank you! Loving the show. I wonder, are the any chances of the specials being uploaded aswell? Greetings from Denmark
Many of them are.

lol at the guy beside the building at 45:28
Its worth the ads. That is saying a lot. Seriously. There is so much talent. How are you at recognizing talent around you.....
LOVE THE SHOW. CAESAR SAID GOSSIP COULD SPREED 150 MILE WITH IN GAUL IN 24 HOURS.
I Love Time Team ❤
Tony's hair looks good in this episode.
Love this woman.
Yay you are back!
For me, the difference between the two technologies used for surveying, is that one is absolutely used and made by the operators, and the other is used by someone connecting to a technology made by others unrelated to his own proffesssion. So, for me, the older system works surprisingly well, and quite quickly, without the need of reliance on a tech which is unrelated to the task (GPS satellites are multi-function, not only dedicated to surveying). And relying on data broadcast from another tech, doesn't mean modern surveyors are more accurate - the tech of space is, for sure. Accessing that tech is the big difference, and a big advantage. SOmetimes I think our tech takes something away from the more basic ability of using human intuition, etc. We (humanity) are all lucky to have this tech, but without it we are extremely vulnerable, imho.
It would be interesting to see how a modern surveyor would manage without his digital devices.
Carenza is so 🥰🥰🥰🥰
I’m a great fan of hers as well. Always have been.
Oh that Henry is a cutie!!!
miss jean reminds me of hyacinth bucket
Did you get a satellite image including various differing images? That is one way that they found many things in the Gobi Desert.
This program is comparable to a good BBQ potato chip you just keep nibbling on them and quite enjoyable, plus you just can't do a few.
I'd say cookies just a nibble and next thing you know the whole season is gone 😅
At least Peter got to be vindicated
The ending text made me sad.
❤
Stewart just makes it up as he goes ...,,can;t find the road here ...well let's find it over here or somewhere else ..,,every show
It's kinda funny how long England was Roman. It's rather sad we don't know as much about the civilizations that were in America at the time. Ok they were "stone age", but several had established languages and at least two had education systems as well as permanent cities. This was ignored, destroyed, and otherwise completely overlooked by Europeans looking for "free" land.
Super virtue-signaling comment! Very wokey!!
@@joelj1355 Just facts mate, the fact that you don't like it just tells us a lot about you.
What’s the betting when she puts a preservation order on the site?
I love seeing Mick place the tray on Jean’s lap so she could get a good look at the pot.
Mad Dogs and Englishmen. Noel Cowards comparison is spot on. Being English myself allows me the right to make that comment.
Interesting that they can't seem to agree on the pronunciation of Cheshunt. I have an uncle that lives there, and I've always thought it was 'Chess-nt'. NOT Chesh-nt. Even the lady archaeologist explaining the name's meaning confirms this. But on they go, saying CHESH-nt.
I'm sorry I see Baldrick when I watch these lol
You and I both. And a lot of other people I'm sure
good episode but more commercials than show!!!
If you want to get rid of the ads then fast forward to about 10 seconds before it ends, let it finish playing then restart it. No ads.
Henry the surveyor was so handsome back in the day! omg what a hottie
Oldest Micro brewer in Britian!

find the pub
Phil, pot... Roman pot. I think Phil knows a lot about that.
While the camera is off, that honking big yellow machine trenches the terrain while the crew sips tea with rum and cream in it. Note how clean they are, both clothing and body (except for Raksha, who is my very favorite. And Stewart Ainsworth too.)
what is it with that archeologist and the rainbow striped sweaters ...every darn episode he wears one ... how many does this guy have damn ...lol
