- Get ready for Time Team's first brand new episodes of 2024!
For our latest three-day dig, Time Team joins forces with the people of Modbury to uncover their dramatic history. We hunt for clues throughout the town, in attics in living rooms, and under brand new lawns. We're looking for for evidence of Civil Wars that raged through the town in the 17th century.
Time Team are joined by Jim Stetson, whose family sat at the heart of the community before they left for America to find their fortune making hats. But will we piece together the dramatic ups and downs of Modbury and its fascinating history? We have just three days to do it!
Join us for the official three-part premieres, right here on the Time Team Official RUclips channel:
Day One: Friday 5th April, 7pm BST
Day Two: • NEW EPISODE | Day 2: ...
Day Three: • NEW EPISODE | Day 3: ...

Join us for a special 3-part premiere of our latest dig with the community of Modbury, Devon. Friday, Saturday and Sunday night at 7pm BST.
I really feel like "new" Time Team is beginning to find its feet and its specific style. Each new episode seems better than the last!
I watched this during the premier with my toddler. Every time Stewart came on screen he would stand, happy shriek and point. I've watched the last few episodes with him and he always gets excited when Stewart's on. Not sure why Stewart is my little boy's favorite but he definitely is.
I'm with your toddler on this. Stewart is brilliant, and I too get excited whenever he appears. Good to see you sharing quality shows regarding learning and education, and that he's enjoying them too.
Stewart is the MAN.
I identify with him more than any other TT member, maybe because I'm a "map guy" and terrain reader as well.
I love Stewart too! He has such a chill vibe about him.
I have the same reaction to Stewart on!
your little man has peerless taste in surveyors thats why hehe. its always so pleasant to hear of parents nourishing their kids minds with this series.
Proud to have finally had a chance to be involved in a dig, was a dream since childhood!
Proud of and grateful to you. I really appreciate every single person who participates in these.
living the dream brother. enjoy it for the rest of us.
Did you help with the dig?
Wow, what an amazing experience for you. I'd love to take part in something like this.
@@FrostyBalls01 I did! I was on the team for Pit 11 and later 15. It was a lovely time. Matt was very nice and I learned a fair bit from him.
(Spoilers for next part, don't read beyond if you've not seen it!}
They don't make a lot of mention of our finds (time, and the floor was obviously the premier item) but aside from lots of clay pigeon there was also some masonry and quite a lot of pottery going from the 18/19th century back to some high medieval stuff. Also found an early medicine bottle and a fair few pig bones and shells.
The arrival of the singers took us quite by surprise. We heard them practicing nearby, but thought they were going to be doing something at the church or the town hall.
Hi from Albany, Georgia USA! I started watching time team back in the early 90s whenever it would come on the history channel late at night. I would literally set my clock to wake up early so I could watch it then go back to sleep. I’m 56 now and love the show even more now.
I am like you. I watch Time Team constantly on YT and wherever else I can find it. I am in Minnesota, however. I would love to see Albany, Georgia. I have never been to Georgia. I bet it is nice there. I want to join a Time Team dig so badly. Great to see that other Americans love this program too. Oh and Btw, Hello from Glenwood, Minnesota!
Hou! Yow! Ha meur ras😊👍
@@cortrichards8179love Time Team as well. Intelligent and fun! I grew up in Ortonville, now I'm in Wisconsin.
@@meeseification That is so cool to hear. I love that so many of us US citizens also watch Time Team and love it as much as we do. I have family ties to Ortonville, and I need to make it over there to do some genealogy work and investigations. I also need to get over to Wisconsin, where my maternal side is from. So many graves to visit and photograph, etc.... Enjoy the Spring wherever you may be in Wisconsin! We are having a beautiful Spring here outside of Glenwood. Take care and have a fabulous day, meeseification! Thanks for your reply, too.
I couldn't believe that one of my favourite TV shows had actually returned and after watching this episode,it's like meeting an old friend , it's excellent, I'm so pleased!
We are so, so, so, so lucky to have new Time Team episodes!!!
Aye. We are blessed.
I had a workplace accident over 10 years ago. I was stuck in bed or a chair for 18 months, Time Team got me through those days, I started with episode 1 and watched each one in order. I looked forward to getting up each day, you became family and I love each of you for the part you have played in my life. Still in love, and that will never end. ❤
Every time I see flint, I think of Phil. I learned to flint knap because of his influence in the old Time Team episodes. I enjoyed this program, looking forward to the other two.
🤔He's in a pub in some ..bury. Just incase😉. Which bury remains a closely guarded secret.😉😉
I miss him too.
Somewhere in Thetford, maybe in The "Flintknappers"!
This has the all the "feels" of the best of Time Team, the community, children, good banter between the experts, great start to what will become a "classic episode" in no time.
And how great to see so many familiar faces with all the new experts, and all the new tech.
couldn't agree more!! 👏🏻
Yeah, the episodes keep getting better and better. I so happy we still have the opportunity to see new episodes.
This one really has that classic TT feel. Fascinating site, and Gus has really gotten comfortable in his role since the first dig.
May I just say the town cryer saying three days to do it is just the sweetest thing ever omg guys...
Thank you for allowing this episode to be viewed for free. The show is my favorite! I have always had a penchant for things past and English. Time Team is the only show I have ever binged.
It’s so nice to see my TimeTeam team! Would like to see more of Tony Robinson, Phil, Raksha, Brigid, and Paul. Miss Mick Aston tremendously!
Whether it's the editing or the product of the extra days the newer members of the team have spent working together is something I don't know but this episode felt more relaxed than earlier digs presented by the 'new' Time Team.
Incidentally there was a cut just where John had mentioned the cess pit. Helen's reaction looked priceless from the angle we saw it from. Something for an 'outtakes reel' maybe?
It is so hard to wait for the next episode! But I am just thrilled with the new Time Team. Love the format. And love having so many of the 'old' team back. Congratulations, all.
Having a bit of a wander with Ainsworth seems like it would be cracking great fun.
Time Team, old and new, never disappoints. Thank you so much!
Our History matters. Or at least it really ought to.
Such a great episode. Watched it on patreon and happy to support time team! Happy digging
Just amazing to be a small part of this much loved programme…❤
I really like the format for this. An episode for each day, only wish each could be an hour and not a half hour. So interesting to see the maps with the armies marching, Stewarts walking trail and the town with the surrounding areas. Great work everyone.
And you KNOW they must have had several hours' worth of footage.
This is beyond fantastic! Time team back again! I am happy to have helped a tiny bit to make this happen. The information is all so exciting! We are living in the future with all this new tech too! I makes the Classic episodes look like "OMG look at the old laptop" or "Mick in front of a huge CRT" I love all of it. It's not just the hundreds or thousands of years back. It also is made during a major change in the very tech we have begun to use daily in the decade almost 2 this show was made, and now continues to be made! Helicopters to drones, but old methods like drawing instead of CGI are still valuable, so is measuring by hand instead of by laser. There is no harm at all in using all those tools. It is so brilliant this show is.
Regarding the small pistol or musket ball; Cavalry would have had two pistols each, which they would use to break up infantry formations before riding into them and using their swords, so pistol balls could mark the site of hand to hand fighting.
Much less common but by no means rare was the use of officer's own "fowling pieces" - good quality long guns of a smaller calibre than military muskets, intended for shooting wildfowl and capable of surprising accuracy, they were sometimes used to "snipe" individuals beyond normal musket range.
New Time Team!!! It’s so nice to see so many familiar faces. Boy, that sweet Matt is surely the new Phil. If only we could get him in those cutoffs 😅
Matt’s been my secret crush since he was a university student!
There will never be another Phil or the og time team crew, but I'm glad to see its still continuing to survive as a programme
This episode seems to be going so well, the finds and the team dynamics. Gus can now act the "everyman" role, and get suggestions wrong, to allow an expert to explain the real issues. Just like Sir Tony's old role as presenter. Test-pitting a medieval village; what's not to like?
With baited breath, we all wait. ❤🎉
(Much love and big hugs to all involved)
(It's 'bated)

all i can think about is that initial print out from the athelney site all those years ago, and how much pride and joy it provided in addition to information. John personally responded to a curiousity question i had sent to the survey company he provides, and it too just made me beam with happiness. Time Team was my introduction to geophysics, and now between it and stewarts mapping i will never look at the world the same again. SO many times this program has saved me from drowning in a deep pit of depression and anxiety and adhd. i cant thank you folks, and your patreons enough. This is about so so much more than just archaeology, which itself would have been a big gift all alone. Love you guys, many happy returns.
Josh
Stephen has always been a favorite archeologist of mine. It’s always been fascinating to me how he is able to see roads where I would never be able to see one myself. That’s a gift.
Stewart Ainsworth is by far my favorite landscape archaeologist! The way he can decipher every lump and dip is so impressive!
😂
Seeing the back of my mum's headstone in this video, has made me so sad. When I was visiting her, I came at a bad time as they were setting up the cameras so I was there 'behind the scenes'.
May she always rest in peace. She is part of the fabric of the history of the town now. May she never be forgotten. ❤
Ahh can’t wait to get done work!! And Sutton hoo coming I’m so glad I found this show. Thanks for all the hard work
Mr. Stetson seemed like a pretty cool chap. That was very interesting to see him there and involved.
It is so cool that he was able to go back and see where his ancestors lived and even where they married, etc. That must have been mind blowing for him. I too, have many English ancestors, but in my case, they are very well known historical figures that most people know of already from History. I was born in Montana, but now live in Minnesota, where my mother was from. I wrote a long old post talking about some of my ancestors above somewhere, but I am sure it will come across as pretentious or something. I really hope not though, as I tried so hard not to sound all hoity toity or like I am bragging. I am just genuinely curious about all those ancestors, since as American citizens, we aren't taught as much about all that as they are in England and the UK. What I would like to do to is meet some of my cousins over there, that probably have no clue I exist. That and join in a TT dig! I am getting up there ( 58 ) and am now somewhat disabled, but perhaps there is a way and it will eventually happen. I am completely humbled by my ancestry, to be totally honest. Glad Mr Stetson was able to travel there and participate. That was so great to see! Have a great day.
@@cortrichards8179 Who were your ancestors, and where were they from?
@@dandare1001 Oh gosh. I can give you a few names that you will likely recognise. So, if I go back to my 22nd great grandfather, he was: Hugh le Despenser, Baron le Despenser, who was executed for...well, all kinds of things. He was not a well liked person and if one reads about him, it's not that hard to see why, I suppose. Gruesome execution though. His wife, my 22nd great grandmother was Eleanor de Clare, 6th Lady of Glamorgan, Baroness le Despenser and Baroness Zouche. Those are her titles. Let's see, my 27th great grandfather was: Henry II, or Henry Curtmantle, King of England and Duke of Normandy. My 27th great grandmother was: Eleanor of Aquitaine, Queen Consort of England and France and Duchess of Normandy. She is a pretty well known historical figure, so most probably have an idea of who she was. I have checked and re-checked and had my DNA compared, and it is all verified. I am more humbled by my DNA and ancestry than anything else,, but those are a few names of my ancestors that you may recognise. There are many other very well known people in my family tree, and my family ties in with the current Royal Family around 19 generations back. We would have had the same 19th or 20th great grandparents. Now, I am just a regular American citizen but I am getting old, and am somewhat disabled now, so this discovery blew my mind when I found it, as you can probably imagine. I just did a live interview a few days ago with Ancestry over Zoom. It was a lot of fun, and they told me that my tree is correct, and those are definitely my ancestors. I had no idea until last year that I was a Plantagenet Dynasty descendant. I just wish I had the same access to funds that those people probably had...lol! I am certainly not wealthy by any means. I hope this has been of help and I am happy to provide more names if interested. Thank you for your reply and I hope you have a great day/evening! Take care and all the best. BJMc
@@dandare1001 Also, I should have told you, my family is all originally from England, Scotland, France, Wales, Sweden and Norway. Take a peak at my other comment left on the 1st Modbury TT dig comments. It gives you many more names of my ancestors and you may recognise some of them. Thanks again and take care!
Love that this dig touches on so.many time periods. A buffet of delights!
Great to see Time Team back out and at it again!
Really enjoyed this episode. It seemed to revert somewhat to the production techniques that they used to use.
OMG, Helen is as adorable as ever. She and Stewart were always my favourites. So wonderful to see TimeTeam back! My warmest regards from Stateside on a small island in Puget Sound near Bellingham, Washington State, US of A.
I just love this show more than any other on the face of the Earth and Moon and the stars beyond
Thank you so much, I just finished watching all the episodes and they were wonderful!
I am so happy you are back, makes my day when you post a video.
I grew up just down the road from Modbury in Dawlish. I remember you coming to do the ship wreck in Teignmouth and coming along to watch. In one of the scenes you can actually see me watching you all, something I will always cherish!
I now live in Austria and am so grateful you are doing these on RUclips so I can enjoy it all over here!
Oh and the mix of old and new team works perfectly, Gus is a great presenter and it is lovely to see how the older presenters have gone up academically to Professors and Doctors. I must add, it is lovely to see Helen again, that smile is beautiful.
Indianapolis here and I can’t wait either.
Anyone else find themselves trying to say 'Vincent Stitson' multiple times quickly? 😄
Love this program, so happy to have it back in action!
I really like Gus Casely-Hayford’s presentation…so professional, so enjoyable. ❤
I really enjoyed his series "Lost Kingdoms of Africa". Unfortunately I haven't found his other work where I live, but I'd like to see more. So I'm happy when I see him present Time Team, a good choice.
I'm not a fan
He has a smooth, knowlegable and friendly style, but I miss Tony's duracell bunny and everyman enthusiasm1
@@altair8598 Gus Casely-Hayford has a good, normal voice when he is talking - off screen -. Why does he have to talk like a - snake oil seller- in other parts?
And i think as we all know by now, Tony Robinson is also back in the new series.
Unfortunately no more Professor Mick Aston, He is watching from high above these days.
But TT has now a great - Mickmobile -. Named in honor of the good Professor.
Bring on the test pits!
Thank you all. ❤
So lovely to see Helen and Carenza.
What a great show. Classic Time Team ❤
Yaaaaaay!!! Helen is a breath of fresh air 😊
Brilliant Episode once again. Nice to have the community spirit at it again :) Very well done everyone
Ready!
I’m really excited to watch this one!!!
Waiting is the hardest part!
Massive props to Dr Stewart for his camera-work!
The Marauders Map footprints are adorable
Nice watch thanks
Will be watching
Great to see Gus back as presenter. Class act!
The adorable little shovels on the map!😊
So great seeing their town crier!! Very cool!!
Hello, from Massachusetts! So proud to be a Patreon and enjoy this episode’s Massachusetts connection.
Those mini shovels on the maps would be great Time Team merch as pins, charms for necklaces and as a top decoration on a bookmark!! A TT themed Chess set would be incredible!
New Time Team! Yes!
Excellent stuff! We'll done!
Another great start to a new dig! Proud to be a patron and support this wonderful program.
Thank you!
I would love to travel to where my Ancestor Francis Plummer came from, I believe Woolwich England.
I am so happy. a new episode!!!!!!Cheers!!!
The motion graphics in this episode are so good! It's so great to have more Time Team! Proud to be a patron.
Loved the story about finding the toy soldier.
Superb 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Hi from Quincy, IL, USA! I've seen every episode and I'm so happy Time Team is back!
Any episode with Hilde is well worth the watch. I love her. Absolutely beautiful and smart!!
Modbury? I have ancestors from over there. I was born in Plymouth but raised on Dartmoor so all close by!
Fantastic, thank you so much !
Stetson worked in his Father's hat shop in Orange NJ and designed the Cowboy hat there. His sales were weak till he added them to a mail order catalog. There the Texas sales boomed and he opened a factory i n Philadelphia to meet demands. Back then our connection was were basically all british within a generation or 2
I love the fact that new episodes are coming but I also love to rewatch episodes. I always find something new that I never noticed!
also big shout out to the dudes doing that test pit through rock solid gravel like that. a deep dip of the cap to you gents, that was a solid days graft!
Classic Time Team focus on and continuity of the story. Thank you so much.
Absolutely fascinating; I’m a proud Time Team Patreon member, and I think I’ve watched every episode a few times at least. I love seeing team members old and new involve locals in finding out more about their history; it was something Mick always encouraged. As a Devon resident myself, I love visiting local museums and sites nearby, such as hill forts and stone circles.
Wonderful to see another dig underway. Thanks to everyone involved for involving us!
👍👍
Looking forward to tonight program more finds will appear I'm sure
That prehistoric flint looked an awful lot like it fit in a musket lock.
Full agreement!
My maternal grandmother's family are the Boons of Modbury, so I am really excited by this dig. One of them married a Stitsdon, which I assume is just an alternative spelling of Stitson, at Modbury.
a joy and a delight; thank you!
So wonderful!
richard is great like his enthusiasm
thank you!
Cool stuff. Looking forward to the next two days.
Fantastic! Well Done, as always!
I was finally able to get a bunch of merch from the time team shop. Beautiful stuff you all have. Love from 🇺🇸
Thanks Guys 💕👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Excellent
Great so far.
Marvelous stuff. I'm so glad you are back.
That was a really cool episode. Thank you so much!
Fan-Tastic! ❤
Very exciting viewing. Onward!
Love time team!!! Can’t get enough!!!
Let’s go!
I'm here waiting
I'll see it eventually.
I love it. It has always been my dream to be an archaeologist. I wish I had done what I wanted to do instead of listening to my parents, who just didn't understand. I am now 58 and disabled, but can still get around if need be. I am also a professional genealogist and have traced my family all the way back to the 5th century AD in some cases. The only reason that has been possible, is because my great grandparents were very well known historical figures, who were also very well known in England, since that is where we are from originally. I don't know if I should list a few of my great grandparents here, but I think I will nonetheless. I have checked, rechecked and had my DNA compared to other descendants and it is true. Two of my great grandmothers were of the de Clare family and were among the three very well known de Clare sisters consisting of Margaret, Eleanor and Elizabeth. My 22nd great grandmother was Margaret de Clare, Countess of Gloucester and Countess of Cornwall. She was first married to Piers Gaveston, believe it or not. We all know what happened to him. Margaret then married Hugh de Audley, 1st Earl of Gloucester and 1st Baron Audley. Most of my great grandparents going back from the de Clares, were royalty and are well known figures. I am not saying all this to be pretentious or anything else. That is not me at all. I am genuinely curious, because as an American citizen, I want to find out all I possibly can, in regards to my family tree and ancestry. I am aware that I am descended from the Plantagenet Dynasty, and would like to learn more about them all. I will give another example going further back. Margaret de Clare's mother, my 23rd great grandmother, was Joan of Acre or Princess Joan I probably ought to say. Her father was my 24th great grandfather naturally. He was Edward I or Edward Longshanks, King of England. His wife, my 24th great grandmother, was Eleanor of Castile. I have to say, it is very strange to find that one is a descendant of these people. I had a hard time believing it myself, at first. However, it has been verified via DNA and more. My ultimate dream has always been to travel to England, and visit the tombs and graves of my 'illustrious' ancestors? I would like to also join in one of the TT digs! But again, I am a disabled man now, and I don't know if it will ever happen. I certainly do not have the funds that my ancestors did! Let me be clear, I am very humbled by my ancestry, and I do not believe I am 'special' or anything else. It is merely my DNA and ancestry. I will list my 26th great grandparents as well, since they are likely well known in the UK, or at least England. My 26th GG were The Incomparable Sir Knight - William Marshal, 1st Earl of Pembroke and Lord Marshal of England. That is his title...lol! My 26th great grandmother, his wife, was Isabel de Clare, 4th Countess of Pembroke and Striguil. Another de Clare obviously. I am genuinely curious in finding more regarding these ancestors, but my ultimate old, disabled man dream, is to dig. I want to dig in some of places that my ancestors lived. I don't think there would be a paucity of spots to dig, though they are probably all scheduled, since many were castles that are no longer standing, or Medieval manor houses and the like. I so wish I lived in England, let me tell you! The only reason I have typed all of this here, and admitted to my ancestry, is because I dream of being on Time Team almost every night. It would be such an honour and extremely humbling if it ever became reality. I have so much respect for everyone on TT. It is so good to see TT back in action. Great to see faces such a Helen Geake, Carenza Lewis, John Gator, Stewart Ainsworth ( and I have Ainsworth's in my ancestry too! ), Matt Williams, Dani, and everyone else! Time team is one of best programs I have ever seen in my life. I have always been a fan and will always remain one. I wish we had a similar program here in the states. I hope I make it over there before I die. I would do about anything to make that happen. I really apologise for the length of this post, btw, but wanted to get that out. It was therapeutic. Also btw, I should probably also point out that I use a nom de plume here on YT. The above ancestry is all on the Fraser and Corbet side of my real surname.
