I could listen to Stewart Ainsworth talk all day long... His voice is mesmerising and explains things in a way that us mere mortals can understand... His skill of understanding archaeology and landscapes is second to none!!!! What a guy!!!!
Dig village/ventures and like minded archeological TV stuff are slow and methodical to mirror the painstaking time it takes a team to unearth the bits and pieces of history. I want more but one must be patient. Thanks Stewart and Tim...!!
I live in Texas but Dunster to me is much more than an interesting RUclips tour. I am a direct descendant of William II Lord Dunster 1090-1155. It indicates to me one of the great features of Time Team as they transport people around the world to their origins.
I really wish Tim would consider bringing Time Team back for at least another season. I'm sure Mick would have loved how engaging it was to people like me who would never had have given it any thought, and noew I'm somewhat obsessed. This type of thing is great, but it's clunky and slow. It'd be amazing to see something that appeals to the masses again
ANything i can get my hand on that encompass archaeology and familiar faces is alright by me. I so want more to soak up.
Was this just a "one off" ?. I know it's been a few years in the making, and I assumed
it had been dropped after Mick passed away.
Stewart Ainsworth ...I’ll tap that, video.
Am I the only person who heard Tim Taylor’s speech as patronizing?
Yes, just you.
I'm really trying to get excited about Dig Village, but it all seems so intermittent. Videos pop up here and there and then there's nothing for months, even years. What is it all working towards, apart from a deeper understanding of Dunster? It seems like an awfully long period of time to devote to one town when the official website for DV hints that other towns and villages are going to be investigated. When might these happen? Six years is a very long time to research one town. Is this a funded project or survives only on donations? Will it be some sort of TV show (unlikely due to high costs). So after six years and only 1.3K subscribers, what's the point? I'm not dissing it at all, I adore archaeology but am trying to understand what you are all wanting to ultimately achieve...
Thanks for your engagement. Dig Village is inspired by Professor Mick Aston's project on Shapwick (more info here: www.dur.ac.uk/research/directory/view/?mode=project&id=264). Ultimately, the point is to achieve a deeper understanding of Dunster, but we're still hoping to work on other towns and villages in the future.
@@DigVillageVideos I asked a similar question years ago. Answered in this reply. Thank you
@@DigVillageVideos Thanks for the response. To be honest I tried to stay interested in this project, but after six years of intermittent and unreliable videos and content, I kinda lost interest in it. I think that Dig Village was an attempt to do something 'archaeological' after the end of 'Time Team' to keep keen, loyal viewers engaged but it just didn't work. Social media is an immediate realm - it demands content straight away and which is relevant. Dig Village was the exact opposite. Social media isn't television. You're posting videos which were shot years ago. Tim Taylor ignored social media during the heady days of 'Time Team' and that I think severely hurt the series. When he and the other Producers finally tried to embrace social media, it was too little too late. Dig Village has tried to be all 'social media-ish' but your content has been ephemeral and unpredictable. Little video snippets of an endless project with no end in sight became pretty boring after a while. I mean, who cares? (Yes, I've worked in television as a Producer - and I love history). I'm sure the good folks in Dunster appreciate all your efforts over so many years, but for the rest of us, we are still wondering what it was all about. Social media demands content on an almost daily basis, not a new video every six months or two years. Overall, 'Dig Village' didn't connect with any audience - it was just a series of random, mostly disconnected videos. So - what's the next village you're going to investigate? Will that be another six years in the making?
@@atheistdominion6567 Thank you for taking the time to write analyses and to ask what the next project will be. We'll keep our followers informed. We do what we can with the resources we've got, but if you're still here, maybe our unpredictability wasn't too bad after all! ;)
@@DigVillageVideos Actually I never asked what the next project will be. I merely outlined why I thought Dig Village was ultimately an uninteresting and vague, unreliable series of brief videos when it could have been so much more.
Dig Village is everything that TT was not. Vague, ponderous, long-winded, and ultimately very boring. For us, Dunster is just about 5 minutes away, and so very familiar, but I can imagine that this series has been ignored by many others as irrelevant and uninteresting, and oh, this local knew nothing about this report launch until after the event. Would have been nice to have been asked.
It's not rare to have a few negative comments among the positive ones. The event was publicised. Sorry if it didn't personally reach you.
