I hardly ever hear an accent like that down here in Tasmania, and certainly no one just like Phil. It felt like a call from a dear old friend as soon as I touched the 'play' icon. 😄
‘Oh god aaah!’ (meaning ‘a very vehement Yes’!) - I hope he throws in one of those next time!! My dad (a 69 year old farmer from Somerset) looks and sounds so identical to Phil that it’s uncanny, they must be related. Sunday teatimes watching Time Team with my parents and brothers were the best and Phil was like part of the family. National treasure. So so glad he’s still active and enthusiastic and the knees are going strong!
They could always do a Time Team 2 with a new crew, but people would complain about the new crew then. :D p.s. Guest appearances by members of the original team would be greatly appreciated though. ;)
Phil is one of those people you just can't avoid liking. From his battered hat (on Time Time) to his unassuming nature. He's one of the most surprising academics I have ever seen. Great to see him solo.
@ excuse you? Is this Kid slang?? Actually, I am only commenting on what has been observed. It's not an insult it's just that the English are more cold and distant. All except for the double cheek kiss thing they do, as if they love "everyone". Guess it's the end of that, now...
You better make the most of him while you can. Any mention of that RACIST, IMPERIALIST Duke of Wellington is a “No No” to BLM. Any interest shown in Wellington and Waterloo shows your White Privilege. Watch out!
@Tim Webb The one he wears first - (the panama?) has a hat band appears to be in RAF's 'regimental' colours (the colours of the Service's Tactical Recognition Flash and Stable Belt). I think that one of the Calvary regiments may have similar. Of course it could all be coincidental and Phil just liked the colours.
Phil, you must be just about the most infectious man in England. I can't listen to you for more than a couple of minutes without being siezed by the need to know more...
Me and my Mrs still miss hearing "Ere, look at this Torneee" Good old Time Team. I'm glad to see Phil is still doing what he does best, digging trenches and finding old stuff. ;¬)
Dr Harding I just want to say I m one of those people who have been profoundly positive affected by your televised career. Your passion is only matches by your skill as a communicator. When my depression and anxiety get super tough your voice is like a soothing balm. I cannot truly put my gratitude into words. with humble thanks and kindest regards. Josh
I love nothing more than Phil and Tony's interactions in Time Team. Glad to see Phil (and his hat) are keeping busy and promoting history and archaeology amidst everything.
His rustic charm and tone are what's needed in the present climate. You can leave this troubled world for a short while and drown in his mesmerising lectures. Cheers Phil
This is kind of spooky, last week I was thinking about flint knapping and I started thinking about Phil and hoping he is do OK and not affected by the virus in any way, then he pop's up out of the blue here on RUclips. Good to see that you are OK! (you have been missed!)
Time Team is coming back!!!! I hope Phil can come on at least in a analyzing/ commentary role...I know he’s hung up his shovel but that’s ok. Time Team Official (on RUclips) has made the announcement and I’m super happy!!
He's only an honorary doctor, he never went to university... which is why I respect him all the more. Phil studied at the school of hard knocks and the university of life.
It is very nice to see he is still able to fulfill his passion of archeology and give a good accounting of it. He is able to spark the curiosity for both history and archeology.
So Pleased to see Phil again after so long. You look good Phil. Time Team was so long ago, I an so very gladdened to know that you are still at work, uncovering History. God Bless you Phil.
Phil was the best part of Time Team. The way he made every little find feel like it was THE MOST IMPORTANT discovery! I miss Time Team, I miss Phil and Mick (RIP) and that silly goofy little Tony who eschewed everything!
There Is a story about when the french were removed from the gate area a young french drummer boy was stranded inside the gate and was found crying and terrified by a english soldier, the guy took hold of the terrified boy and hid him until the battle was over, i hope that that little boy lived to tell his story.
I had the great pleasure of working with Phil during series seven of Time Team. I was a newly pro photographer. Out of all the Team, Phil was my very favourite. Friendly, open, infinitely knowledgable and exactly as you see him on the screen.
I've just discovered my 4x great Grandfather fought at the battle. I find Archeology so interesting. I miss Time Team. Thanks Phil for being great at storytelling. 👍
I have only recently discovered Time Team and have enjoyed catching up with such a long lasting series. What a great bunch of people to have worked with.
i had the privilege to visit this dig 2 years ago while cycling in Belgium, it was absolutely fascinating to see the work being done here and the work being down with the veterans. the finds room was out of this world. unfortunately i did not get chance to talk with Phil Harding as he was giving a tour to some VIPs.
I absolutely love listening to Phil Harding and have for decades. You could feel that, couldn't you? Punching holes in roof slates to fight for their lives. Vivid.
Dr Phil Harding your science of deduction with archaeology and old buildings is in every sense equally as enthralling as any monologue of Sherlock Holmes!
What an incredible lecturer - his passion for the subject and great skill in recounting events in a way that creates interest and fascination makes his videos unmissable. Bring back time team!
What a contemporary treat! Here’s a true legend reminding us that we aren’t alone with COVID-19 while gifting us with a true Waterloo search for truth. Thank you Phil.
Loved watching Phil Harding and Mick Aston on Time Team. I think both men have and were (now that sadly Mick is no longer with us) never given the recognition from the British Honours System they so richly deserve. Through television they made archaeology feel accessible for many people in the UK and also educated us on so much of our history. For which I for am grateful. As far as their professional careers go I can only guess how many lives they touched in a positive and lasting way through their work, teaching and kindness. Great to watch you again Phil.
WOW!! Its great to see Phil Harding talking about archeology again! I loved watching Time Team. And he is sporting a new hat!! Thanks Waterloo Uncovered!
Dear Phil I am so glad you are still alive, I do not think you will ever die. You will slowly turn into a bridge troll, threatening passersby with a stick. Keep on reminding the rest of us that doing the job right is the most important thing. Keep on trucking.
Hi Phil! Hi Phil's Hats! "Found" Phil on TT - binge-watching episodes of which have helped keep my questionable sanity sane during COVID - and am thrilled to find this series! He's a natural teacher, great presentation, can't help but learn while being fascinated as the tells his tales. Lovely to be able to watch him and catch his enthusiasm!
if anyone in Britain deserves a knighthood it is Phil Harding. He has done more for archaeology and bring it to us mortals than anyone else. He has helped us all gain a better understanding of our islands history.
I discovered "time team" about 4 yrs. ago on youtube been hooked ever since...warms the heart to see Phil still following his passion...my favorite part on time team was when Phil discovered his ancestors through DNA
I stumbled across Phil after I stumbled across Time Team on Amazon video one night.... all 21 seasons! Phil sure has his act together and I'm so glad he's doing this series here! Thanks, Phil!
Hi Phil Harding, it is great to see you on the screen again. Thank you for your brilliant video. Very interesting as usual with your easy to understand information and I learnt a lot more about a battle site that I have been interested in since I was a child. Please keep up your excellent work and I look forward to seeing more videos. From Chris in Derbyshire, England.
I love the way Mr Harding tells the tale. I could sit by a warm fire and listen to his tales all night, knowing that this be the truth so long ago. The pleasure of Archaeology.
Great to see in his natural habitat. Really miss him on TV. Channel 4 you should never have stopped Time Team. Shame on you. If I am ever lucky enough to bump into him I am buying him a pint for all the years of pleasure watching him. Top bloke.
Phil, you are one of my favorites. You were always a highlight when I watched Time Team. Glad to see you are doing well. Miss the old hat. Love from Canada
Great seeing Phil again. Being an novice archaeologist myself, I loved him and Tony Robinson in Time Team and still watch those episodes today. Wish I could have met him when he came to my area in Colonial Jamestown, Virginia
Nothing is sweeter to my ears than Phil Harding's voice explaining some bit of archaeology. So good to know he's well!
Agreed! Happy to see he's as passionate as ever about the past 😎
@@sandrasmith9617 Agreed
I hardly ever hear an accent like that down here in Tasmania, and certainly no one just like Phil.
It felt like a call from a dear old friend as soon as I touched the 'play' icon.
😄
Agreed - Phil's the man!
‘Oh god aaah!’ (meaning ‘a very vehement Yes’!) - I hope he throws in one of those next time!! My dad (a 69 year old farmer from Somerset) looks and sounds so identical to Phil that it’s uncanny, they must be related. Sunday teatimes watching Time Team with my parents and brothers were the best and Phil was like part of the family. National treasure. So so glad he’s still active and enthusiastic and the knees are going strong!
Bring Time Team back!
YES PLEASE
@@hujkhanoom TRUE BUT JUST SEEING PHILL PRESENTING HERE WARMS MY HEART, LOVELY CHAP
Matt Hopper Good plan but without Tony Robinson
James Johnson Unfortunately Mick Aston is no longer with us Phil is the key player but I think the time has past Next
They could always do a Time Team 2 with a new crew, but people would complain about the new crew then. :D p.s. Guest appearances by members of the original team would be greatly appreciated though. ;)

I can hear his laugh in my head whenever I think of Phil! That's usually anytime Archeology is brought up!
I met Sir Tony once,by accident, but as a Time Team fan I wish that Phil Harding had been with him!
😄
I just remember his rudeness and ignorance when he was hogging the tiny bar in the Wyndham Arms in Salisbury.
@@milanondrak5564 Ignorance and rudeness.... the character traits of too many English... have fun with it!!

I could watch Phil Harding for hours... and now that I come to think of it, I have.
Yep!
I am thrilled to find out that Phil Harding is still on the air. Thank you for a new binge watch.
You better make the most of him while you can. Any mention of that RACIST, IMPERIALIST Duke of Wellington is a “No No” to BLM. Any interest shown in Wellington and Waterloo shows your White Privilege. Watch out!
@@fezmancomments get your tin foil hat and pitchfork ready.
Yes👍😊🎉. RUclips is how I discovered Time Team❤️. I’m going to binge watch this too👍😊
One of my most favorite interesting people in the world.
sponsored by "the Perfect Hairsyle Company"
I have metaphorical "love" and "you" written on my eyelids when ever I watch this amazing archeologist.
Here, here!!! 👏 I think Phil would be a great uncle!
Here! Here! Well said....
Mine too. I just starting Time Team and it’s getting me through quarantine. He’s awesome. I was sad to learn Mick and Robin from Time Team died.
I see Uncle Phil and his hat, I click like.
@@lomate1963 A bit fancy too.
@@lomate1963 No, that's just his Sunday hat. If you look at the clip of Phil on site he still has his original.
I think the hat band is Royal Air Force
@@neiltappenden1008 I did wonder that - I have the same.

Phil Harding is my favorite celebrity. I have watched him for decades. Stay safe, Phil!
Phil, you must be just about the most infectious man in England. I can't listen to you for more than a couple of minutes without being siezed by the need to know more...
You mean he's a Super Spreader... Of archaeology!
You need to Google Irving Finkel. I think you may enjoy him!

Phil Harding is a brilliant man, a national treasure if ever there was one. Well done, Phil.
Just love to hear Phil Harding explaining archeology. I’ll bet his discussions get even better after a pint or two. 😊
They do! Had the pleasure of being in his company in a pub in the evening after an event at one of the Saxon shore forts a few years ago. Lovely man.
even more fascinating. 😀
Phil Harding.. Legend...I could listen to him all day.
So glad that Phil found his floor. His hat looks better than ever.
Yes, this made my day! so good to see him again!
Well, it isn't the same hat....
@@fredygump5578 My man, Phil has gone through at least a dozen hats since I've been following his work.
@@rupertmiller9690 Well, I just keep watching old Time Team episodes... Back then the hat never changed!
That's his good hat 😉
Phil Harding's passion can make things sound 10 times more interesting than they already are!
This is kind of spooky, last week I was thinking about flint knapping and I started thinking about Phil and hoping he is do OK and not affected by the virus in any way, then he pop's up out of the blue here on RUclips.
Good to see that you are OK! (you have been missed!)
Phil Harding is a national treasure. So happy to see him doing well and still bringing history to the masses.
Bring back Time Team, Phil Harding my favourite person from them programs
Time Team is coming back!!!! I hope Phil can come on at least in a analyzing/ commentary role...I know he’s hung up his shovel but that’s ok. Time Team Official (on RUclips) has made the announcement and I’m super happy!!
Would love to see Time Team brought back. Good to see Phil still doing what he loves, It may well be a new hat but I bet the trowel is the same.
"Ooo arr, there's **loads** of archaeology there, look......." :))
As a New Zealander, I **love** the West Country accent!
We do in the UK as well. It's lovely!
He certainly tickles my American ear!
Wait till your in a pub with a load of them getting pissed. Close your eyes and you could be plundering the spanish main 😂😂
Phil isn't from the West Country, though. He's from Salisbury, which is just south-central.
“ooooo that’s a nice floor” - gawd have I missed Phil and the team 😃🤗
Master teacher; his passion for archeology is contagious. Brilliant!
I would risk almost anything to spend a day with Dr. Harding on this site and listen to his war stories and learn about the subject.
Yes me too
@@allygee5468 me 3
ME TOO.......
He's only an honorary doctor, he never went to university... which is why I respect him all the more. Phil studied at the school of hard knocks and the university of life.

Phil you are the best thing I've seen on TV in 50 years.
I love Phil's passion, you can see it in his eyes how much this means to him. It's so awesome to watch & hear.

*That ending was the biggest tease ive ever experienced!*
That's sad...a Scottish Celt
I went to the site of Waterloo when I was around 14 in 1962. Would love to go back one day.
I would love to go back to 1962. 14 is ok as well...
I see this face and I click. Brilliant talk Phil, thank you
Phil, the Lemmy Kilmister of archaeology
The ace of spades
David T I see what you did there.
@@hetfieldstoilet brilliant!

Except Phil is in great shape at 70, Lemmy only lasted four days after his 70th.

Yea! It's Phil Harding and he's in a new hat! My new binge watch. :)
We still say “Ooo God Arr” in our family in tribute to the great Phil Harding. Great to find him here informing us with his dulcet tones.
Oh, look who's there! Mr Phil Harding and a clean hat, it's such a pleasure to watch him again!
I love Phil Harding. Nothing about him is straight or even, from the angle of his hat to the tilt of his head.
yes anyone who does not treasure PH is not worth knowing, God Bless him

I discovered time team on RUclips years ago and have watched every episode.
Phil has the passion of a thousand people.
I love em
I absolutely love listening to Phil Harding and have for decades. You could feel that, couldn't you? Punching holes in roof slates to fight for their lives. Vivid.
I watched this just because of Phil. 💕
Dr Phil Harding your science of deduction with archaeology and old buildings is in every sense equally as enthralling as any monologue of Sherlock Holmes!
I've been re-watching old Time Team lately ... it's so good to hear his voice, see those excited fists, and see him still working away in a trench.
How wonderful to see and hear PHIL again. Miss time team very much. Love archaeology so much . More PHIL please !!
After Mr. Harding speaks... For some reason, I expect to hear Tony Robinson saying the word "Geophys" a few times.
I kept looking over his shoulder to see if Ian was there with a digger.
Yes, yes, yes!
BRILLIANT TO SEE YOU PHIL ARCHAEOLOGY ON TV IS NOT THE SAME WITHOUT YOU
So brilliant(american meaning as he is scary smart).. I could listen to him all day long. Sometimes I do watching reruns of time team over and over.
What an incredible lecturer - his passion for the subject and great skill in recounting events in a way that creates interest and fascination makes his videos unmissable. Bring back time team!
We all need more Phil in our lives
What a contemporary treat! Here’s a true legend reminding us that we aren’t alone with COVID-19 while gifting us with a true Waterloo search for truth. Thank you Phil.

I needed to listen to you. Thanks.
Stay safe!
Can't wait to hear about the buttons. Archaeologists are so quintessentially human, huge brains filled with nothing but curiosity. Nulli Secundus!
