I'm so enjoying watching these Time Team videos again. I am a loyal fan, from the very beginning. Fondest memories of watching TT with my lovely brother-in-law on a Sunday evening, after a late Sunday lunch. It still seems puzzling to me that this show is so embedded with my memories of him and yet he only lived into series 3 ( I think), dying from a brain tumour in 1996. He and my decade older sister used to do volunteer archaeology digs in South Wales during the mid to late eighties and I was lucky enough to have my love of history and archaeology nurtured by them. I get such a warm and happy feeling when I remember my B-I-L, cradling my newborn first baby in his lap, us debating about exactly what TT was finding in their trenches. That newborn is all grown up now. Losing Mick and Victor felt like losing family and I have been so happy to see Tony, Helen, Stewart, Carenza and John returning to these new TT digs. Likewise, it has been heartwarming to see fully grown Matt, Raksha and the long lost prisoner Jim turning up too. I do wish that Phil would consider coming back full time. But then I think that he has earned his relaxation and the sheer perfection of his trenches will withstand the test of time. Channel 4 severely underestimated how much this show, and all those who sailed in her, meant to us.
“Channel 4 severely underestimated…”. How true that is, of so many things that feed the intellect rather than just being action based, silly or negative! I love Time Team as well, have watched a good many, some more than once. Felt the group on it were practically family, certainly good friends. All the best from Canada’s East Coast!
Besides having earned his relaxation, and I agree, watching the physical ageing that worked against him and us all who've dug much in the dirt, I understand his choice to age gracefully away from cameras . His back, then his knees, poor guys probably still has his good days tho. In the new shows on utube today, not many of the original folks are still in the spotlight digging. Somehow, tho still more enjoyable than many other shows posted for our entertainment, it's just not quite the same as the old days. Cheers friends.
I'm a little mad that I, somehow, as an archaeology nut, had been 100% under a rock for many years regarding Time Team. Love this and am an avid fan after only a few months.
This one has one of the most fun exchanges between Tony, Phil, and Mick… a very silly hat. Mick peels off laughing which then catches onto Phil. It’s so derned cute!
I love these so much. Thank you!! I love history!! As a New Zealander with UK ancestry these episodes are so important for us descendants to be able to understand our roots. ❤❤
Love Mik’s teasing Phil telling him he needs a string tying his hat to his head! Phil needs a volunteer hat catcher. Oh but then Phil shows up with a piece of salvaged plastic. Very cute-not but practical yea! 😂
I sit in a concrete box 5 days a week, working under artificial light, breathing recycled air and staring at computer screen. At least the monks were producing something beautiful - even at a stretch nobody could describe what I produce as beautiful :) but I still get sore eyes, a sore back and sore wrists.Given all that, I think that the monks who produced these illuminated manuscripts had a good job - it's all relative isn't it.
Well I didn't expect to be sobbing in my lunch break over baby skelletons and reinterring bones found on a footpath. This was a beautiful and touching episode
The motivation between a robber and an archeologist is the most important difference, althoug the effect to the site may be nearly the same. And where is the documantation which presents us the results of a robbery? ;-)
Atheism does not imply a disrespect for all believing people. On this side of the big water, the issue is theists who want to force their beliefs on parents of school age kids, or want to enlist the state to force their views on the rest of us. I agree, the talk over during the ceremony was disrespectful and unnecessary.
8:40 "We dig a hole and find out." That is why I love us humans. Cats might push something off a table. Humans will dig a hole to see if other humans two thousand years before had cats knocking stuff off of their tables as well.
Is the St Abbs a bit up the coast related to this St Æbbs? I love the north east coast, instinctively as a Geordie, but also the fact it feels really primitive once you're there, it could be 1000 miles to the nearest town and you'd be none the wiser.
A little detail: making lichen dyes with ammonia treatment requires the right lichen, and weeks if not months of soaking the lichen n the ammonia. A little beyond the scope of a three day dig 😁
Am I right in thinking that the point where the Firth of Forth meets the North Sea is known as St. Abb's Head? Perhaps St. Ebb's/Abb's influence spread further than we thought.
this to me was the saddest dig finding all the young babies because the church would not allow them to be buried, how many tears was shred by the parents burying their dead babies
I've wondered, why does Time Team only ever get three days to excavate? This very episode likely would have benefitted from more time. The couple of digs I have knowledge of here in the USA had short time frames to establish the significance of the site. But, if the site proves significant (whatever significant means) the time can be extended -- even on private property.
I think it's because it takes place over a weekend. The archaeologists and other experts also have jobs at universities, archaeological units etc. during the week.
@@elizabethjones9781 That is true, however I think it is also because doing a full length dig leads to a very different program. It was aimed at all ages, rather than just adults with a particular interest in history, which a longer, slower paced, documentary style dig show might attract. They probably could have hired them for the odd week at a time, but that would have been more costly for a reduced audience.
Touching end. Making right by returning those who have gone before. It would been awesome to do DNA to see if anyone who still lived there or anywhere in the country was related to these people. I was adopted by my stepfather and never given the option to know my biological father. At age 60 I found out I was adopted, but something my mother said when I about 12-14 made me wonder if I was adopted. I remember also finding a picture that said daddy Don. My sister and I were both adopted but no one was allowed to tell. My sister was my strength during that time, wish she were here now.
I don't think a cross sends the message Christians seem to think it does. To any culture unfamiliar with it, particularly a primitive one, it can't possibly seem like anything less than a threat to the locals about what would happen if they didn't fall in line.
Wasn't much a of a threat to the vikings who ransacked the coast... And they wouldn't have been intimidated by the Christians who abandoned the sites rather than defend them.
@BrianAndrews73 Yeah, after they'd been there awhile, and people learned what's up. I'm talking about when they showed up and started placing crosses everywhere. But you're the smart one here, so I'm sure you knew that. You were just checking. If only I had used some sort of qualifying phrasing...
This is assuming that the culture in question was familiar with crusifiction as a method of execution/torture... If they were not, the perceived threat would be zero.
I love Time Team. I do. But the way the women are made to ask the men questions about stuff the women already know just gets my back up. As if Revd Jane didnt know about early medieval abbesses!! Oh, and Marie-Ann gets to build sandcastles and ask primary school questions. 'struth!!!
Conkers are the hard, shiny, dark brown nut of the Horse Chestnut tree. Peel off the spiky husk from the fruit of the horse chestnut tree and you're left with a conker. Don't try and eat them! They are poisonous to people & dogs. (Edible sweet chestnuts grow on another kind of chestnut tree). They do make great 'stones' to shoot with a slingshot but due to them being poisonous, cautious parents teach children not to play with them. Aesculin and saponins compounds are the troublemakers in Horse Chestnuts. These toxins can hit dogs, kids, and babies hard, so it's best to steer clear and keep these nuts out of reach. All parts of the Horse Chestnut tree are poisonous. The toxin is found in the conkers, leaves, bark and flowers. That may be more info than you wanted to know, but you asked! Greetings from Prince Edward Island, Canada.
It's the show's format. It was designed as a way to get people interested in archaeology in bite-chunk sizes. Sometimes the three days is all they have there, sometimes they do a return visit, sometimes it's as part of a larger dig (helping out those already there).
I dig in my backyard for 5 hours, I find 2 nails and a bottle cap. Time Team digs in a small flower pot for 5 seconds, and they find coins from long lost Atlantis and meteorites from one of Jupiter's moons! It's just not fair!!!
It would have been staged. I'm guessing the proper prayers would already have been done and the re-creation would have been a sequeway for Tony's final piece. The Time Team have too much respect for the dead (even Mick, the affirmed atheist) to have done it for real.
The explorers had to survey and draw maps. In order for the settlers to colonize the new world. Europe has had much more activity than north america. There is a war of 1812 memorial garden park in Hamilton Ontario not too far from where the Haida is resting. In a national park. A clock on third floor of Central library. Which was buried during their premature revolution, is still ticking. You have so much history, so many structures were built over something which previously existed. Or recycled rubble from previous things lost to shifting sands of time. Tough to know what went where when. Without a Tilley hat pondering the possibilities. One less distraction.
Alright, why do you say that about series 19 & 20 of TT? And how do you think everyone agrees with your view? Thank god for TT after the people I was caring for died (2005, 2015), yes it hurt to watch as TT was our treat each week, but the memory of the first watch with them is priceless and comforting, even now. Discovered the relaunch team and am still watching, just wish I could join the team, but am now also a pensioner on just state pension. I'm grateful for the repeats, compendiums, new and the i-magazine. Keep up the good work TT, and a very big thank you, you're all ⭐
As someone who has never seen any episodes of seasons 19 or 20....uhm...bold of you to assume NO ONE likes seasons 19 and 20? Why even say it? What makes it so bad, in YOUR opinion?
Probably because of copyright and ease of accessing the original footage. Whilst it's not as familiar as older episodes they aren't actually doing anything different than the other series, there is still the digging and then there are the experimental and historical bits. The only difference is the people presenting them. Also as you say there are plenty of other series you can watch if you don't like this. I'm quite enjoying these as like a lot of folks I missed these the first time around.

So am I
❤❤
I have seen all episodes, ever, but dont remember many of them so its like watching new ones; what a pleasure!
Timeteam was a groundbreaking show in every sense .
Losing Mick was a difficult blow to the show. Imo it was never as good afterwards, but I enjoy every episode I've seen of time team.
I'm a little mad that I, somehow, as an archaeology nut, had been 100% under a rock for many years regarding Time Team. Love this and am an avid fan after only a few months.
Time to binge watch them all, you won't be sorry! ;)
You’ve got some catching up to do! 😁👍 welcome to the fold!
Guessing you’re not British? It was on TV all the time when I was a kid. Classic satdee nite telly.
This one has one of the most fun exchanges between Tony, Phil, and Mick… a very silly hat. Mick peels off laughing which then catches onto Phil. It’s so derned cute!
Very respectful and fascinating - the team brings the past to life!
Must be one of my favourite episodes. Thank you!
Never saw this one...yay!
Me neither, even though Beadnell isn’t too far away from where I was born and still live.
I love these so much. Thank you!! I love history!! As a New Zealander with UK ancestry these episodes are so important for us descendants to be able to understand our roots. ❤❤
I just love this show. Can't get enough. 😍
Love Mik’s teasing Phil telling him he needs a string tying his hat to his head! Phil needs a volunteer hat catcher. Oh but then Phil shows up with a piece of salvaged plastic. Very cute-not but practical yea! 😂
They definitely needed an official Phil's Hat Holder.
I loved that they returned the bones. Also, the recreation of the chapel was very pretty.
I sit in a concrete box 5 days a week, working under artificial light, breathing recycled air and staring at computer screen. At least the monks were producing something beautiful - even at a stretch nobody could describe what I produce as beautiful :) but I still get sore eyes, a sore back and sore wrists.Given all that, I think that the monks who produced these illuminated manuscripts had a good job - it's all relative isn't it.
I got so much more by seeing it again,thanks,Farmer Rich.
A very emotional episode with all the skeletons, especially the babies. Tony was visibly moved and that got me tearing up.
Just love TIME TEAM , BRINGS BACK SO MANY MEMORIES . THANK YOU FR THIS .
Love the classics.
Not seen this before, really enjoyed it,thanks
I thoroughly enjoyed this. Well done.
Well I didn't expect to be sobbing in my lunch break over baby skelletons and reinterring bones found on a footpath.
This was a beautiful and touching episode
Ooh yes, me too 😢
Growing up in Northumberland, I was told that Beadnell has a unique claim. It's the only place on England's East Coast, whose harbour faces west.
Of the various hosts for this show's incarnations, Baldrick is by far my favorite.
Archaeology's way of answering questions; "We'll dig a hole and find out."
Fantastic photography and filming in this episode. ❤
'A century or two can make all the difference between a grave robber and an archeologist...' MM
The motivation between a robber and an archeologist is the most important difference, althoug the effect to the site may be nearly the same. And where is the documantation which presents us the results of a robbery? ;-)
Beautiful Beadnell, I love it.
Great work again. Thanks.
WOW I miss this lot .xxx
46:00 As an atheist I was unpleasantly surprised Tony walked away and started talking while a ritual pray was going on.
Me too.
not a real atheist then?
Atheism does not imply a disrespect for all believing people. On this side of the big water, the issue is theists who want to force their beliefs on parents of school age kids, or want to enlist the state to force their views on the rest of us. I agree, the talk over during the ceremony was disrespectful and unnecessary.
I noticed that too, let's hope it was planned ahead of time and the priest knew.
It's likely the ceremony had already been completed, & that part was staged so that Tony could do the closing segment.
39:04 not archaeology but a beautiful little shot there. Always a fan of Jackie and Dr Newton making appearances
What are you talking about 😂
My mum was born in Beadnell in 1939 and lived there through the war years. She's an archaeological relic herself these days! 😂
Ebbe's Nook is surely a sacred place for those who hadn't the luck to be burried in an officialy sacred place.
We used to go on holiday to Beadnell. We stayed in a caravan.
hello from Massachusetts, farmer Rich.
02:16 Tony: "Enjoy yourself" 😂 💕
this is the only one that made me cry
Can't beat a drop of Elf and Safety this time of year, as I bet Phil Harding knows.
Thanks.
Are there other season 19 episodes uploaded on this channel? There's a "season 19" playlist, bit it only has ep01.
They are releasing the episodes one by one. I'm sure you could find bootleg versions somewhere on the internet.
There are quite a few of the seasons on Chanel 4.
@@Mark-xx8go last i checked all episoides was on more 4 including a series before TT where they did a full seasons dig on a valley due to be flooded
Brilliant!
8:40 "We dig a hole and find out."
That is why I love us humans. Cats might push something off a table. Humans will dig a hole to see if other humans two thousand years before had cats knocking stuff off of their tables as well.
I just can’t even watch these eps. without Stewart and Helen.
Is the St Abbs a bit up the coast related to this St Æbbs? I love the north east coast, instinctively as a Geordie, but also the fact it feels really primitive once you're there, it could be 1000 miles to the nearest town and you'd be none the wiser.

I see Mary Ann got a new color jacket. Bout time.
It’s going to be quite difficult to get justice for the chap in the footpath.
this to me was the saddest dig finding all the young babies because the church would not allow them to be buried, how many tears was shred by the parents burying their dead babies
The lady said the grass is tough and stubborn. Northumberland see washed turf it’s what they use on bowling greens
Rare episode with both Mick and Mary-Anne. I’d rather Mick stayed and Mary-Anne didn’t.

So a bird couldn’t of left the muscle shell there ? lol😂 or a fisherman
Completely impossible, birds would never do that. 😜😜😜 (I thought the same as you, pffff artefacts).
😅 10:00 Phills hat holder😂
I have Beadnaĺls in my family tree.

Oh, and here we go, comments bad mouthing each other. Nowhere is sacred. These programmes are the best 'TV'. Dont spoil it.
I love Time Team. I do. But the way the women are made to ask the men questions about stuff the women already know just gets my back up.
As if Revd Jane didnt know about early medieval abbesses!!
Oh, and Marie-Ann gets to build sandcastles and ask primary school questions. 'struth!!!
Phil with no cares in the world, drinking in the sweaty brimmed hat. So charming when the ladies are around though.
Mary Ann the most superfluous person on Time Team.
What is a conker?
Conkers are the hard, shiny, dark brown nut of the Horse Chestnut tree. Peel off the spiky husk from the fruit of the horse chestnut tree and you're left with a conker. Don't try and eat them!

Nut from a horse chestnut tree, it's encased in a spikey outer cover
Is that Alex from Absolute History?
Yes, Alex Langlands.
Maybe those guys digging the trenches removed the skull from tgat skeleton.
"The northeast coast Britain"? Of England, Tony.
England wasn't a country when the Saint in this episode was alive.
Is the three day time limit a industry standard? Or a law? Maybe heightened suspense and pressure for the show format? Do tell.
It's the show's format. It was designed as a way to get people interested in archaeology in bite-chunk sizes. Sometimes the three days is all they have there, sometimes they do a return visit, sometimes it's as part of a larger dig (helping out those already there).
@barefootkiwi3079 thank you
A conker is a 🌰 chessnut.
I dig in my backyard for 5 hours, I find 2 nails and a bottle cap. Time Team digs in a small flower pot for 5 seconds, and they find coins from long lost Atlantis and meteorites from one of Jupiter's moons! It's just not fair!!!
Stewart > Alex
At what point does it become "archaeology" and no longer a "crime scene"? I mean, you've found a body, after all...
Micks bane
Talking over a prayer. Really classy.
It would have been staged. I'm guessing the proper prayers would already have been done and the re-creation would have been a sequeway for Tony's final piece. The Time Team have too much respect for the dead (even Mick, the affirmed atheist) to have done it for real.

Sadly I stopped watching after series 18. Such a shame it changed so much. It was the beginning of the end 😢
Ahhh… they could just have used ammonia…
Police no its ancient burial it's just PR
Mussel shell probably from f Seagull

Unwatchable because of the grossly overdone advertising. Such a pity.
There are 18 fantastic series of time team and you choose to release one of the least two series (19 and 20) that nobody liked?? Why?????
Never cared for MaryAnn. But I'll muddle through....
Alright, why do you say that about series 19 & 20 of TT? And how do you think everyone agrees with your view?
Thank god for TT after the people I was caring for died (2005, 2015), yes it hurt to watch as TT was our treat each week, but the memory of the first watch with them is priceless and comforting, even now.
Discovered the relaunch team and am still watching, just wish I could join the team, but am now also a pensioner on just state pension.
I'm grateful for the repeats, compendiums, new and the i-magazine.
Keep up the good work TT, and a very big thank you, you're all ⭐
As someone who has never seen any episodes of seasons 19 or 20....uhm...bold of you to assume NO ONE likes seasons 19 and 20? Why even say it? What makes it so bad, in YOUR opinion?
I enjoy watching episodes that I have not seen yet. If you don't like the season just don't watch. It's really that easy!
Probably because of copyright and ease of accessing the original footage. Whilst it's not as familiar as older episodes they aren't actually doing anything different than the other series, there is still the digging and then there are the experimental and historical bits. The only difference is the people presenting them. Also as you say there are plenty of other series you can watch if you don't like this. I'm quite enjoying these as like a lot of folks I missed these the first time around.
23:50 how'd the shell get up there? No chance it was a bird eh?
