Everyone dressed up to the nines, and then there's Phil. Never change, Phil :)
Oh he won’t
That was my favourite part of the entire episode.
@Napoleon Hercules LOL. Get over yourself.
I actually like both - Phil being Phil and the others brushed up. I'd so come with my top hat :)
Id gladly carry phil’s spawn.
Phil says, "I was bound to be a horse lover." Phil's name is presumably Phillip, which literally means "horse lover."
Uncompromising Phil going to the races in his everyday clobber. Never change mate!
Bah! Raksha is brilliant. I've watched about 1/3 so far. She will find something lovely. If I'm wrong, I'll have another.... beverage.
I just picture them telling Tony they're going to be digging here and he just lights up and says, "brilliant! I have SO MANY HORSE PUNS!"
Yeah. He's not the one who knows anything, he's the one who helps uninformed archaeology fans understand... and he's the actor type who draws the ratings....
All part of his cunning plan, after all.
I really enjoyed watching the gentleman in the digger or whatever you call it. He looks to be saying, "have they found anything yet?"
Ian Barclay is the digger operator equivalent to a neurosurgeon. He's all pro. When he's not looking on with that stoical expression, he's having a cuppa or a quick snooze. That's so he's ready to skim off the soil in centimeters.
At 19:34 Phil says ¨ ...the King´s prize stallion and prize mare eating their oats and getting ready for the next great event.¨ I say Mr. Harding old chap, steady on, there may be children watching....
Believe it or not most times once the horse is lead to stable door they'll walk right in to their stall. Especially if their buddies on either side are in there.
Never thought I'd hear "Ow, me nuts!" on Time Team lol.
Best line of the whole episode! LOL
Lol!
I had to chuckle over that one as well!
I thought that was funny too. Also the way Mary-Ann seemed to have to hold onto and lean on the rail to keep from falling over laughing at poor Tonys' nuts getting crushed.
@@Skyfire_The_Goth Yes, and the old guy whipped a quick look at the camera.
Thank goodness you can fast forward thru the annoying parts.
Back in the day, the riders rode with a straighter leg, not the short stirrup of today’s riding
The English brought it back they didn't create horse racing first. That started in Central Asia 4500 years ago.
Phil's tux is at the cleaners
27:23 at least they stuffed Roy Rodger's Trigger
Thank you
“Me nuts” 😂
Ahhh me nuts!! 😂😂😂😂
Mary-Ann bringing nothing to the table, as usual, just reading off her cue-cards. I wonder why she's even there?
The answer to the mystery foundation is simpke. They said he king we are building stables for a dozen. King replidd, make it hold more horses. And wider it became.
That's my bet anyway. The king was himself pacing the racers. He wanted a bigger car garage circa centuries ago lol
It`s asphalt Tony, not ashphelt!
Until I started watching more British shows I didn't realize horse racing was such a big thing there, while it may have some large events, in most places in the U.S. it is far away from pop culture, a real sub-culture lifestyle, the whole geegee's bookies thing seems more pop-culture in the U.K. Oddly enough I have known two people who owned race horses in the U.S. you never would have guessed would have cared about horses or any sort of racing. 17:00 The horse looks more real than the on in the close ups with Toby McGuire in sea-biscuit.
My parents attended the horse races in Portland, OR in the 1960s. Two $2 bets were all they could afford unless they happened to win. I found the paddocks more interesting than the race course (idle most of the time between races). I picked more winners from watching the horses warm up than they did from their betting papers, but I was too young to bet. Later I became a stable boy in a race horse breeding barn. Lotta work, and my view of horses is that they bite, kick, stomp, and mash you against the walls. Nasty creatures. Should have left them wild.
Yes, we 'Cowboys' here in California' use our sturips.................
So did plenty of English riders trust me lol
I prefer an English saddle frankly but I'm Tonya size I prefer not riding Clydesdale sized animals for which id sure appreciate that horn and wider stance lol
Tonys not Tonya lol
@Brisdad53 -- What's funny is that I have horses and don't even ride, LOL. My wife does, but I prefer the side-by-side when running around the ranch. Remote eastern Oregon here.
The king got to pace the racers like the pace car today. It's good to be the king eh? Lol
10:28 damn why'd Henry have to blow the carpenter why not just pay him
1:50. Is the dark haired wench Mick's bane? I don't watch episodes featuring Mick's bane
Every time Mary Ann Ochata is on, I stop watching. I can't stand her simpering, and her pseudo knowledge. Pure window dressing.
Mick's Bane by any other name.
She is an Anthropologist and Archaeologist....
@@samplerstitcher she was Mick's Bane.
@@samplerstitcher Okay. Let's see her get down in the trenches and dig something up. She's still window dressing. I'm with Mick (God rest his soul) on this.
@@dr5117 She had to stick to the script. Yell at the producers...Mick hated the way the show was turning to fluff. It wasn't her fault. She eventually quit also.
Too much faffing about.
Yes, the archeology in and of itself is really interesting because I an interested in history, but Mary-Anne, horses aren't possessions. They are living, breathing mammals - just like we are. Race horses are pushed until their lungs bleed or they break a leg and are killed. Race horses are NOT possessions. That is such a disgusting idea. I used to be involved in the office sweep for the Melbourne Cup until one year I got my money back because my horse collapsed and died. The following year 2 horses were killed at the Cup. Since then I have paid more attention to what these horses are actually put through. It is appalling and horse racing needs to be stopped. Yes, I really liked dressing up and wearing a pretty hat and drinking lots of bubbly but that is not even close to a good enough reason to put these horses through what we put them through. You might say - 'Oh, but I am not responsible for that". If you support horse racing, then yes you are and you need to be grown up enough to own that.
There it is again...Where the females are half a head or a full head bigger than the males. Why do I find this so strange? This is a rare occurrence in the U.S. I'm also aware not all the men in these videos are lightweights.
I'm 6 feet, I had a female employee who was 5' 11", I weighed 170, she weighed 160 (and she was slim). She and I were both married, but not to each other, and I should shut up now.
Australia's premier racetrack, Flemington Racecourse, was opened in 1840 - just five years after Melbourne was established. It has held the world's richest handicap race, The Melbourne Cup, since 1861. Prize money last year was $4.4M with a $250,000 trophy for the winner. Why am I mentioning this famous and spectacular racecourse in Australia? The area adjacent to it, is called Newmarket, and one of the Group One races there is called the Newmarket Handicap. Co-incidence? After watching this show, I think not... 😀
Wow! In the USA, we look at a MacDonalds built in the 1950's and think we're seeing history. In England, a toy shop built in a building form the 1700's doesn't seem old enough as history!
In the UK, 100 miles is far. In the US, 100 years is old.
Same in Russia. Our history is very very old. After I moved to the US, I was shocked that buildings that are only 100 years old are fairly rare as they knocked them down for even newer buildings.
I have a mate in Croydon who thinks it's hilarious that here on the West Coast 1850 is old.
I learned that lesson watching Antique Roadshow, an amazing difference.
The USA in its current form is just over 200 years old. So we still have Similac on our breath.
🤣🤣🤣 to see Tony on the training horse was fantastic
I love how the guys are all saying that the back of the toy shop isn’t old at all. Then a minute later says it only dates to the 1700s.
The voice-over script on this episode is brilliant.
The end phrase... Phil knows his name's etymology all right!
😆 😝 Tony and his puns!
Now that's the kind of rocking horse I dreamed of as a kid! 🐎😁🐎
We just threw a saddle on the back of the couch and played racing! My grandparents had stables!
Series 19 Episode 4
30 years ago I was stationed at RAF Lakenheath and lived in Newmarket, beautiful town.
Cool story
Episode 246 (Season 19, Episode 4): The First King of Racing, Aired: February 12, 2012
So before Tony was turned into a nob...
Really enjoy younger programmes with Jackie and Richard :)
what happened to Stewart?
They changed the format of the show a bit. They eliminated Stewart and Victor😢. They brought on Ochota for no obvious good reason ~ I hate to say it~other than her looks( although I understand that she is trained in archaeology.) Mick quit out of frustration and was upset that he wasn’t consulted. He claimed that they “dumbed down “ the show. It’s a shame. There’s a beautiful tribute to Mick where Tony talks about some of this.
Why is the next best place to dig is so often under the spoil heap??
OH MY GOD!!!! Phil Harding drinking champagne instead of his beloved ale/beer/larger ?????
OI, you a horse, here free food ,, what no I 'm a person . Well then no food for you!
Most racing horses are of the Arabian breed, meaning that is the breed's point of origin. Since they were bred for their speed, it stands to reason that they were raced, back in the day. Millennia before a horse ever set foot in England. So the claim of "oldest racing stables in the world" seems a little bit of a reach. Other than that, good fun with the ponies.
There were racing stables in India a few thousand years ago :)
DOST THOU STAND HERE AND FUCK TIME?

Look at Raksha's face at 25:26 , what a beautiful smile . So many lovely ladies appear on these shows.
and years and years of Carenza's cleavage and Helen's shapely bamm bamm
Jackie just knows so much! I am here for the Jackie spinoff series.
Jackie and Helen spinoff. I would subscribe.
Also, Raksha gets her own. In my dream fantasia.
I like that purple rose tie on Tony
Health and Safety . 1 ft. down and they have to wear hard hats. Rediculous.
lovely episode
I am surprised that you do not have a historic schetch of these buildings
As soon as I see the new co-host I just switch off to another season.
Yes , I think she is there to look pretty not dig holes.
True
Hey, it's Alex Langlands from the Victorian Farm!
Guess they are paying him more!
👍🏻 definitely a watch
Is it weird I'm jealous she got to touch Hyperions skeleton lol
What a magnificent race horse he was. Light Is right be it a horse or a drag racing car.
Was the Grand Canyon the work of Archeologists?
Heh, heh. Not in three days! 🙂 But there is a lot of more work there for archeologists there than you might think.
racing and archeology.... heaven
Tony`s puns get worse.
comment
I had to laugh , Phil looks just as scruffy even when he gets dressed up for the races ,,,
17:15 tonys getting a little too comfortable with that fake horse
16:55 I thought only kids did that
To new for me to watch 3 or 4th time
I never would have guessed that archeologists were so beautiful before watching this show
💚
And then rain made Phil cry :(
Effing euromilhoes ads. They should have their gambling scratch cards rammed down their throats. Some charity, trying to get people with little money addicted to gambling.
Probably the worst time team episode except for the new ones they all suck.
No it's not.
The psychedelic swing typically puncture because authority suggestively dry absent a envious caravan. cultured, equable quiet

Amazed how many city names in Canada are also cities in England!
It’s the same here in the US. Especially on the east coast.
@@robo08ify The small town I grew up here in Oregon is...Monmouth.
People longed for their home cities. So they named their new place the same. That's why there are so many Hamburgs (18) and Berlins (26) in the US
The protective minute conversantly tap because cotton anatomically reply versus a auspicious underpants. toothsome, nutritious oven
The silky litter technically ban because camp qualitatively laugh concerning a ludicrous clutch. bright, ancient girdle
Forgot the archeology, Mary Ann is quite stunning. 😍
