Stuart’s eye for the landscape has never been equaled on any later episodes of Time Team. He is simply put, a genius. With a normally short explanation he manages to transform the viewers take on the entire site and point out features that the average person wouldn’t look twice at as significant…his observations of the landscape consistently leave me in awe.
I think he's pretty damm good, but obviously he's on a popular TV programme which has publicised his abilities to the world, so if someone thinks of landscape archaeology, they think of Stewart, hence public opinion of his abilities being somewhat enhanced
@@Invictus13666 I suppose my main point is that, as I stated, his skills ‘have not been equaled on later episodes of time team.’ Which is true. Time team rapidly declined in quality after Mick left. I am also aware that landscape archeology ‘is a thing.’ As to why I think he is so good, I described my opinion quite clearly. Gosh, it’s almost as though you didn’t actually read my comment at all. 😂
@@evelyneweissenborn8231 I read it. I simply don’t agree with the view people have that every single person on time team was the absolute best ever in their area of expertise. Except Robin.
In American K-12 schools I didn't really learn any British or Scottish or Irish history in any detail, or in College. But after watching about 50 Time Teams I think I have a pretty reasonable education in this field now. So I thank the many educators on the show for the continuing education in history, art, ceramics, anthropology, coinage, forensics, religions, peoples, migrations, pre-modern architecture, historical economics, and of course, archaeology. See? Its WAY more than just entertainment.
Interesting. I wonder if it may be that America "broke away " and have turned their backs on that history? In Canada we learn about British history inasmuch as it ultimately leads up to the creation of our country.
In Australia we had UK history and American history thumped into our brains because without your history we wouldn'tbe here. They were, bit lacking on Australian history except for European exploration and colonisation.
15 years they hoped to find a temple and didnt succeed. Then at last they find a temple complex with 4 temples. Incredible. Tells me something about perseverance. Well done Time Team!
And John and Francis laughing in the background. Then Francis trying to intervene, but Tony ignoring him, making Francis silently go "I give up." Love it! This feels so natural, like how people actually behave. More shows should be like this.
I've heard from a couple of people that Phil hated Tony but I don't think they would have been able to work together so well for so many years if that was the case. I think it's more likely that Phil got annoyed in the beginning as Tony didn't know how to behave in an archaeological site but as the show went on Tony learned and Phil's annoyance disappeared.
@@alexiswelsh5821 and it's this easy comraderie that Gave the show its unique quality. The new Time Team has great archeological values is a bit too serious in this regard. In time I hope they find there own way.
I feel like Stuart’s keen eye while surveying and his contribution to the overall project and archeology itself is so underrated. It’s really amazing what he comes up by simply looking at the land.
I just wonder if a new Time Team can fit our negative, cynical times. Yes it's sort of reality TV, but the joy is watching a group of friends work together to achieve a result. Sometimes they may bicker, but it's always resolved, and even when nothing is found in the ground we get a positive sense that learning nothing was learning something. We need such positivity more than ever now, I just hope it can fit with a world where everyone's a critic.
I love the time Phil and Matt were insulting each other in middle English. I seem to remember Phil was boasting about his shovel been bigger than Matt's
When I did Dig Village I had my own personal Time Team moment. There he is, Ainsworth, in front of (only) me, checking out what he thought might not be a dilapidated outhouse, but in fact a Weaver's cottage... and he's in my face saying in that accent... 'ya see, I'm a map man....' I had lived over twenty years for that... Stewart's landscape interpretation and map reading is totally my jam
The positioning of sites relative to the landscape always offer more logical clues and explanations. Ancient people were far more concentrated on location. Their survival / comfort depended on it.
@@alifesh also remember the woman said that they had to report any find over i think it was 10 coins.. meaning the moment they reporter them the people would want to know whwre they were found and what else was there
If this was such an important archaeological site, why would they rebury it?? The Roman ruins in St. Albans are exposed, so why couldn't they do the same in this field and make it a public site for history's sake?
I love Time Team so very much. I contend it's one of the most important and satisfying programs in television history. If I had it to do over again, I wish I had spent my younger days studying field archaeology in the UK. It never ceases to fascinate me.
Guy dressed for the occasion!!! He’s my favorite honestly, I appreciate his skepticism. This may be one of my favorite episodes of Time Team for just how genuinely excited he is along with everyone else!!
Don't know why, but this is my favorite of all TT episodes. Everyone is visibly tingling with the absolute wonder of the dig and its finds. Even Tony is bubbled up enough to leave his usual storm crowing at the door and immerse into the excitement of a spine thrilling gift from time and earth. Mick must be hovering somewhere nearby. 💖
I thought the sane thing about Mick 😉🙂 This is also my favorite of all the other episodes. The thrill running through the team is palpable and Francis is practically walking above the ground. It is such a perfect illustration of 'when a plan comes together' ❤️
@@brettwalters-n4u It's people who made the show, not technology. Case in point: Henry used satelites to find th elocation and he was wrong, while Stewart with his eyes, a map, and a ruler found the exact location.

I appreciate when they bring in somebody like Guy to keep them grounded. I adore time team, but they do let their imaginations run wild at first. Even they have a running joke about it. “Two stones is a wall, three a structure and four a temple”
I love these programs, I find them historically EXCITING and I am not even English. However, as an American, your history is my history, too. I am excited to see things I have only read about in histories and novels, or seen in old movies. I have long wished I could be part of an archaeological dig but never have. At 71 years it probably will never happen, but I love watching you people do it. i love the accents also, especially Phil's. He reminds me of Wallace Beery in the old Long John Silvers movie-lol.
You're spot with the Long John movie reference. The reasons why many film pirates talk with a west country twang similar to Phil's is apparently down to the actor Robert Newton who decided upon an exaggerated version of his own accent when he starred in Treasure Island released 1950.
Haha funny, lol. I’m in the UK, I’m 55 and have fallen in love with the geology of the PNW. I just hope I can find a way to get to see some of it for myself one day.
@@Linandemma Ok Elsie. I have an adult child living in the PNW. I live on the east coast of the US. And I have 2 tickets for the UK that I bought right before the pandemic (my once in a lifetime trip!) that are about to expire. A person more clever than myself could figure out a way to make us both happy. Here's hoping we both realize our dreams post-pandemic! Cheers!
You can tell how much these people enjoy what they do and enjoy being with each other. I adore Henry and am glad he got some air time, even if it was to correct calculations.
I feel in a way that rewatching all these Time team programs IS it's self a kind of archaeology on how Tellyvision was used as an education, allowing people with real talent and worth to share what they are learning about our world. I only ever had one quibble, no follow on to tell us how it ended and what did it mean, what was learnt 10 or 20 years after, or were the holes just filled in and forgotten. Time team is still high up in my top 100 ever TV even as repeats.
I'd like to see a video about how they clean up after the Time Team leaves. I expect they are supposed to try to return the soil to how it was. Is that right?
They did analysis of what was found after the dig and Wessex University complied reports on what was found just as in a full dig. I think that certain sites were further investigated due to their importance.
There were some commentaries under some videos about what was after. Seems like most important places was explored fully after them and open for curious public as part of museums/historic sites
Lucky to see it on Sunday. In Ireland it was on in mid week, usually around 2 or 3 in the afternoon. Worked stopped for a long lunch hour to see Time Team. Happy hour
God, I loved this show back in the days when it was aired on Viasat History in my country. Thank you guys for the love and the good memories and the knowledge!
What a brilliant episode. I have only watched about 12454648156132261478678644 of them and love them all, but this one was fantastic. Is it just me - or is there something incredibly attractive about Stewart, Henry & John. No episode would be complete without these smart men.
I just started watching Time Team, and this is the best one yet! Mind you, I haven't been watching them in order. But this one was exceptional!!! Being such an important and rare site, I do hope that it was scheduled and protected!
I just rewatched the Wadden episode this morning! I love Grace inviting Phil to move in with her, just so he could have an Iron Age roundhouse in his yard. Discovering that henge buried so deep was the big bonus.
I love this channel, thanks so much for reminding me of many childhood days watching the time team with my mum, really inspired my love of history to this day, and I look forward to watching these again with my son when he is old enough.
I’m smiling down upon my iphone, 6 minutes in. No matter WHAT they dig up, Time Team episodes are so enjoyable. How many shows really bring so much enjoyment plus painless education?
Its truly inspiring to see someone at the top of there field, but its not just Phil, as much as I respect him. The whole team has done humanity a huge service, by showing us how they explore and interpit the past. When I say Phil Harting is Who Indiana Jones always wanted to be Im not kidding. Time Team is living proof that fact is more interesting than fiction!
Tony 'If we were Romans, could we invent a god right here right now?' Guy 'No you don't get it, the god is here already. You have to identify this and access his power.' Tony 'But Guy, while you were saying that, this hay moved in a mysterious way.' ROFL 12:30
I'm addicted to time team I think it's just great an ideal way for the viewers to learn without knowing about dates and how the past lived. I meant learning by accident it can be fun
The format of the show was so sound, and with only 3 days to gather the data, give known history (based on working experience ) drawing the viewer in , along with what may have been done (causing the viewer to ponder), proof (is or is not) of what may have been done, followed up with summary. Each show maintaining a level of energy in which the viewer sees that the staff just enjoy what they do and enjoy sharing the historical value of the site. One can only wonder that if this site was so important, was there ever a follow up on it, or was it all just re-buried.
There is nothing I could dislike about these programs or people. Having watched TT before internet was common I was brought on a journey of highs and lows with experts who were a delight to enjoy and learn from. Now internet is so common and I can watch on my iPad I get to watch and enjoy all over again. Mind you I still enjoy guessing the year from Tony’s hair style and tummy. ❤
One of my favourite Time Teams... partly because of the significance but also as someone who has lived in Dunstable and St Albans, and walked a lot of the nearby fields it is great to have a local episode
francis and phil are so excited on this site. i think mick would have been bonkers over this dig, three temples all in a pile. he always loved his religious sites!
I never missed an episode in 20 years , my highlight was when Sandy Tocksvig was on she always asked the right questions I would have asked if I was there. Thank you Time Team for years of pleasure.
Loved this episode and not far from where I live. This i have never seen so like the rest of you in virtual TV land I would love to find out what happened after.
I found the full report from the dig: www.wessexarch.co.uk/sites/default/files/68735_Friars_Wash_Redbourn.pdf It only covers the results from the Time Team dig, and doesn’t refer to any further plans to expand on the excavations done. I was a bit sad to find that the lead ‘curse’ sheets turned out to be more likely to be weights, possibly for fishing. 😣 I was looking forward to a great Romano-British take on the lines of “ Sosio must never do better than the mime Eumolpos. He must not be able to play the role of a married woman in a fit of drunkenness on a young horse.”
I think Guy DLB is the most television savvy (apart from Tony obviously) he knows what they are and are not providing here, and where too draw a line between legitimate archaeology and teatime entertainment.
Exactly thankyou for spotting that as well, many commenters seem to think he is rude, but no he uses his head and doesn't get carried away by every find that is presented to him.
What an absolute pleasure to be with you again on this Sunday morning 🌠🎇🎆 Must admit that Tony is so inspiring and cannot wait to follow him and his wonderful crew on yet another unique adventure ⛲️🎤🎼🏵🥃🥂🍾🍒⚡️🌈
Ay Tony I was in St Albans pub about a week ago near wisemans ferry here in new south Wales no Roman ruins here mate just , ticks, mosquito's, and black snakes , but the pub is very colonial all sandstone , love the time team wish the episodes were longer but thier is incredibly a large amount archaeology still buried in olde England, love the time team cheers to the team gidday to all from Sydney
Helen: "Three bits of dating evidence..." Guy, butting in: "Or coins as we call them in English." Helen, off-camera, pops Guy in the snoot... Seriously, a fascinating programme, one I've watched before and was glad to find again, not least because I used to live in St Albans and have a recollection of the local paper mentioning "site of national importance" to add to the many Verulamium already possessed.
I'm curious to know what happens to sites such as important ones like this after "day 3". I take it they are maintained in some way. Would be nice to see a follow up to this say a year later
The archæologists were all professionally employed as archæologists elsewhere, 3 days is quite common for exploratory excavations and the programme was otherwise very expensive. After the dig they usually stopped, recorded everything and shut it all down. In some cases the investigation was carried on by others, either amateur or professional, in others that is planned and in a few cases they found pretty well all there was to be found. They _always_ wrote a full report and that can usually be found easily in pdf for free (look at www.wessexarch.co.uk or local archæological society websites). Most finds were given to local museums for study. Skeletons were studied and then reburied in consecrated ground unless there was a _very_ pressing reason not to (and that would need government permission).
Stuart’s eye for the landscape has never been equaled on any later episodes of Time Team. He is simply put, a genius.

Oo arrr!
I'm addicted to time team I think it's just great an ideal way for the viewers to learn without knowing about dates and how the past lived. I meant learning by accident it can be fun
Absolutely brilliant stuff! So, so, happy to have discovered these on RUclips. Thank you sooo much!
Love love love Time Team. I only wish I was 30 years younger so I could go digging myself!
The format of the show was so sound, and with only 3 days to gather the data, give known history (based on working experience ) drawing the viewer in , along with what may have been done (causing the viewer to ponder), proof (is or is not) of what may have been done, followed up with summary. Each show maintaining a level of energy in which the viewer sees that the staff just enjoy what they do and enjoy sharing the historical value of the site.
One can only wonder that if this site was so important, was there ever a follow up on it, or was it all just re-buried.
There is nothing I could dislike about these programs or people. Having watched TT before internet was common I was brought on a journey of highs and lows with experts who were a delight to enjoy and learn from. Now internet is so common and I can watch on my iPad I get to watch and enjoy all over again. Mind you I still enjoy guessing the year from Tony’s hair style and tummy. ❤
One of my favourite Time Teams... partly because of the significance but also as someone who has lived in Dunstable and St Albans, and walked a lot of the nearby fields it is great to have a local episode
francis and phil are so excited on this site. i think mick would have been bonkers over this dig, three temples all in a pile. he always loved his religious sites!
Talk about a tv programme making a difference. That is what I love about TT.
I never missed an episode in 20 years , my highlight was when Sandy Tocksvig was on she always asked the right questions I would have asked if I was there.
Thank you Time Team for years of pleasure.
I love how Phil makes every answer sound like it belongs in a sports newscast!
Francis is like a golden retriever with a PhD
Exactly! Many thanks for this.
Sunday evenings have never been the same since.... love rewatching the episodes and listening to the banter.
This was magnificent!! What an exciting find! I got goosebumps just watching it. Thank you for the thrill. Happy New Year ♥♥♥
Love Phil's enthusiasm😊
One of my (many) favourite episodes. Love the series!
Got to love this show! I use this episode in my high school archaeology class:)
10:21 i really only just noticed francis's hat combo here 😂
I remember watching this when it was on TV! Very exiting stuff!
The best one. Can't wait to see again
Loved this episode and not far from where I live. This i have never seen so like the rest of you in virtual TV land I would love to find out what happened after.
will you go and have a look for the rest of us and report back?.........please
@@Antonnick having a look at the site on google maps it looks like its been covered over .. I sincerely hope I'm wrong
I found the full report from the dig: www.wessexarch.co.uk/sites/default/files/68735_Friars_Wash_Redbourn.pdf
It only covers the results from the Time Team dig, and doesn’t refer to any further plans to expand on the excavations done.
I was a bit sad to find that the lead ‘curse’ sheets turned out to be more likely to be weights, possibly for fishing. 😣 I was looking forward to a great Romano-British take on the lines of “ Sosio must never do better than the mime Eumolpos. He must not be able to play the role of a married woman in a fit of drunkenness on a young horse.”
Nice to see Time Team on RUclips, officially! Welcome aboard!
Thanks!
These guys are hilarious when they put their heads together, sometimes bumping horns & taking the mickey out of each other! 🤣
Love it! Always fascinated with archeology!
I think Guy DLB is the most television savvy (apart from Tony obviously) he knows what they are and are not providing here, and where too draw a line between legitimate archaeology and teatime entertainment.
Exactly thankyou for spotting that as well, many commenters seem to think he is rude, but no he uses his head and doesn't get carried away by every find that is presented to him.
Exciting episode, one of my favourites
What an absolute pleasure to be with you again on this Sunday morning 🌠🎇🎆
Must admit that Tony is so inspiring and cannot wait to follow him and his wonderful crew on yet another unique adventure ⛲️🎤🎼🏵🥃🥂🍾🍒⚡️🌈
Tony inspiring?
The problem with a fantastic program is it leaves huge shoe's to fill. Thanks guys
I really enjoy watching Time team wish there were more. From South Africa
Time Team got me through Covid, and this is likely my favorite episode.
Love to have a program with Stewart talking about the landscape of Britain.
Good to see you back guys 🙂👍🏽
Some episodes are posted twice. But i think this is one of their best, so I just couldn't click away!
"Except that some people are just a little bit skeptical."
Admit it. We all knew the camera was going to pan to Stewart.
It hasn't even started and there's a dislike already? Some people are really weird...
Zero dislike at the moment! 20 mins before premiere...
some people will do anything just to be noticed
sad, really
Trolls and Vagabonds!
Maybe it's all for that annoying Guy...guy?
Ay Tony I was in St Albans pub about a week ago near wisemans ferry here in new south Wales no Roman ruins here mate just , ticks, mosquito's, and black snakes , but the pub is very colonial all sandstone , love the time team wish the episodes were longer but thier is incredibly a large amount archaeology still buried in olde England, love the time team cheers to the team gidday to all from Sydney
my absolute favourite TT episode
Temples are like busses right? You wait for ages for one to come along...
... then there's FOUR of them at once! Thanks Rob, for a laugh!
I love that Tony finally got what he wanted and then some more!
@@1234cheerful . Ditto that. It was a wonderful discovery.
No....
Buses. Busses means kisses. To buss someone on both cheeks, for example.
@@judeirwin2222No it's just a saying in the UK "You wait ages for a bus and then 3 buses Come along at the same time"
I love these guys - proper telly!
My Dream. Remastered Time Team.
My dream: I find an excuse to think there might be Roman remains under my garden and they come and clear it.
@@ian_b I'm near Birmingham do you think I might have a few celts or a grub hut under my patio?
This is one of my favorite episodes of TT
Jon always uses his trusty car key to describe his results 😂
Well Guy is on form. Bird droppings and "or, coins as we call them in English"
The disagreements about what geophiz shows is keeping me laughing 😆🤗💚
This is better than when it was on TV, because a) there are no advert breaks and b) it can be sped up (x1.5 works well).
I love Francis...i would love to sit with him at a gathering, his laugh would have me in fits on the floor. Gorgeously happy man!! ❤
Helen: "Three bits of dating evidence..."
Guy, butting in: "Or coins as we call them in English."
Helen, off-camera, pops Guy in the snoot...
Seriously, a fascinating programme, one I've watched before and was glad to find again, not least because I used to live in St Albans and have a recollection of the local paper mentioning "site of national importance" to add to the many Verulamium already possessed.
I'm curious to know what happens to sites such as important ones like this after "day 3". I take it they are maintained in some way. Would be nice to see a follow up to this say a year later
The archæologists were all professionally employed as archæologists elsewhere, 3 days is quite common for exploratory excavations and the programme was otherwise very expensive. After the dig they usually stopped, recorded everything and shut it all down. In some cases the investigation was carried on by others, either amateur or professional, in others that is planned and in a few cases they found pretty well all there was to be found. They _always_ wrote a full report and that can usually be found easily in pdf for free (look at www.wessexarch.co.uk or local archæological society websites). Most finds were given to local museums for study. Skeletons were studied and then reburied in consecrated ground unless there was a _very_ pressing reason not to (and that would need government permission).
Stewart is the MVP always.
