    I would pay a very large amount of money if they would put every episode out in a Blu ray box set. Maybe with Tony and Phil or even Stuart, John, Raksha, and Helen doing commentary on all or at least some of the episodes. This is my favorite show of all time. I’ve even gotten my last two gfs in to it because they watched it so much with me. Lol

      Just wait. My uncle is crazy and says he’s from the future he said in 2026 millions die from major pandemic. He said a super bug escapes a lad in Greenland and kills 60% of the worlds population. He read it in a museum when he was in the future. He says he went to 2499. But we do make a comeback and cure all diseases people die of old age or an accident that’s it.

    For two years in the mid 50's, Dinmore Manor gatehouse was my home. At that time it was owned by the rapidly rich inventor of the glass 'cat's eyes' built in a rubber seat into the white line in the middle of a highway and reflecting a car's headlights. He invited our family up for a drink at Christmas ! If this is the chapter I saw when Time Team first aired it, it is up behind Dinmore Hill.

      I was coming to say exactly that. Saw the name and it seemed like an enormous clue before they even got started. Of course there is research before sites are selected and to see which might be interesting, and it may have formed part of the reason this site was chosen for excavation. Other examples of din=fort can be seen in the better known TIN-tagel and E-DIN-burgh.

      Not all a archaeology requires digging. Henry's a surveyor, Raysan al-kubaisi (Brigid Gallagher's long time partner) is an architect, Victor Ambrus was "just" an artist, and Bridig herself is primarily a conservator. Not everyone plays in the band, someone has to hold the baton.

    These are a historical treasure about learning the hows whys and whens in Britains long and glorious history. Baldrick's part is clear, to ask the stupid questions we the non archaeological viewers are thinking and he cheers the hell out of the experts, but I am unhappy eith a little celeb calling those qualified docs and Profs ' bickering' during and interesting piece of discussion demonstrationg how they see the same thing different, it is the most imformative part of the program and where those of us who want to learn a little more do, I love the look on Phil's face sometimes when Tony talks like he is the chief, they priceless, just the same as you would give a puppy that's just done a poo in your house, classic. Peopel of that type are of that time and can not exist now, we are not allowed to be.

    I love Time team, however I have a question. If they were aware of the wet weather drawing in, why did they not cover the trenches to prevent them becoming water logged? It appears to me that forward planning was not taken into concideration to prevent this which in turn made the trench un-unworkable the next day. Am I missing something here?
