Even with such a confusing and frustrating site, the team is all so calm and diligent. The great love and respect they all have for Mick is literally palpable. You are greatly missed, Mick.
OK please can you bring time team back I used to love Sundays because of this program and I dare say there are thousands of us who would welcome it back like a long lost friend.
I knitted my 2 daughter's Mick Aston Time Team Jumpers! I had to haul them off them to wash them! My friend, Shena who had just given birth to her second son, asked me to knit her older son, a jumper with his name on it, but as Mick Aston's name was too long to put on the back of his jumper, I put Struan on it, and was thankful that he liked his jumper too!
I like to think that when he reached the other side, some of the abbots of this monastery came up to Mick and introduced themselves and told him the story of their priory.
The team is actually working on getting another series off the ground, and they're asking people to back them on Patreon. So if you're interested, you can support them on there if you want to. Just google it and it's the first thing that comes up.
It's a shame they wanna have "posh gardens" put in but whatever floats your boat. You know how many time team fans would love that garden. Answer is a lot
@@juliajs1752 Just do what the fraud/trickster did on the episode where they dug a property with the unlikeliest finds that had been planted before. It’d be cool to have stone cutters create a full scale Stonehenge in your backyard. Sure, it’s expensive but with modern tools it would take only a couple of months to complete. A conversation starter.
Mick Aston was the most wonderfully interesting human being and a really lovely man. I do hope that his students keep up his wonderful tradition of sharing their amazing knowledge which was quite extraordinary.😉
@@nicoler3499 I think we all were students of his in a small way, he got to reach so many people through Time Team, and we all still remember him fondly.
I like Matt a lot. Worked hard and I gess he learned a lot of Phil. Also Jacky. Like her to very much. And Birgid and Ian. Gosh, this was a good group of people. Thanks a lot guys.
I live in Suffolk and often drive through Blythburgh but to my shame knew very little about this. Also to my shame I don't take advantage of the history in Suffolk and indeed Norfolk perhaps falling foul of taking for granted of what is on your doorstep. New years resolution for 2022; get out to places like Dunwich, Blythburgh, Sutton Hoo, Framlingham and a visit to Colchester Castle with my camera. Thanks Time Team, absolutely brilliant these are available on RUclips and look forward to the future with Sutton Hoo episode.
One of my most favorite programs and now I live on the other side of the pond I miss these fascinating programs even more. I hope so much that they make lots of new seasons as there is so much more history to discover in the entire UK and Southern Ireland.
I wonder if we will ever have a similar program to dig as deeply for Americans! I love all the programs I’ve seen on Time Team!!! Furthermore, I have a terrible crush on all of the ppls😘❤️❤️❤️
Ahhhh good old time team love watching them brightens my days up during lockdown, all the hard work going on in the trenches and with the historical information and documents to look through, it certainly got me interested in archaeology and looking up old buildings also researching what was there before New buildings were built thanks for uploading the videos
As a knitter since 2020 lockdown, I adore Mick's striped jersey, and yes, socks too. Did you notice one of the local experts was also wearing a knitted striped sweater?
To someone like me who knows nothing about skeletons the way Jackie McKinley can get so much information from such small fragments of bone is super super impressive, really love it when shes on Time Team!
Thanks for making 2020 bearable. :) Because of the work Time Team does I've been wanting to pursue a degree in archaeology specializing in the Roman occupation of Britain during the early days of 43 CE.
Finally a great find with Human remains to match to even earlier than some of the church that was there. this is ONE time where I wish they could dig more and for three days longer... three days is never enough time and then with everyone talking half way though the days, it comes down to one full day of real digging and the rest talking...I would of loved to have seen MORE of this old church..
In the years after this episode was filmed, English Heritage funded further archaeological investigation at this site. The Wikipedia article on Blythburgh Priory has a link (footnote 79) to a .pdf of a report on what they found. Blythburgh is on pages 8 and 9 of the .pdf.
Yes it was a shame, but understandable. They all had jobs at universities or other institutions and all they could spare for the show were the weekends or vacations.
Like many other people commenting here Sunday afternoon teatime and Time Team were a weekly fixture in our house it was a wonderful warm homely show and it was like welcoming old friends into the house. It looks like soon that hopefully it might be coming back
Happy New year everyone!!!!!! Let's all practice peace and love this year! I know it's an impossible ask,but one has to try!!!! I know,I look forward to every episode of time team!!
@@jacquelinevanderkooij4301 @Jacqueline van der Kooij if it's based on Germanic roots it may mean "eagle" (see "arend" meaning the same. You can find it in Arnhem too :3 )
I see the makings of such a pretty lost garden. I guess they don't have many earthquakes, those columns and walls made of stones and rubble wouldn't have stood fifty years in my area.
We live near stratford upon avon uk. Theres a Stone age camp on top of an iron age hill fort near us called meon hill. As a uk residents it's always amazing how much history we live on. our housing estate is on an old army depo for ww1+2 and was then used to house italian pows. But at the same time the history of your lands across the pond intrest us. From dinosaurs found in the deserts to indians in the grand canyon to gettysburg civil war or abandoned mines.
I’ve often thought about some sort of travel exchange. It probably already exists in some form...but on my trips abroad I’ve always wanted to stay longer than the usual 10-12 days but the cost of accommodation doesn’t allow it. If it were possible to exchange residences with someone for a month, I stay in someones home, they stay in mine, we both get a significantly less expensive experience in a different country... maybe I’m being naive
Why do people think Readwaelda was buried in the Sutton Hoo. Readwalda was baptished. He probably build a church and was baried there.. King Anna was not baptished and very popular by his people. Couldn't it be possible the Sutton Hoo is the barial of the popular King Anne?
wait, so these folks bought a new house and when they looked in one of the cabinets in the garden shed there are just human skulls sitting in there. who put them there, did the previous owners or whomever found them not contact someone and say we found human skulls in our yard?
Pretty safe to say, yes, previous owner or whomever was digging around, planting stuff and ran across some bones. Instead of tossing them, that person gave them the some semblance of reverence they deserved and put them in a cupboard. Remember in the beginning, the archaeologist in the rainbow shirt (forget his name) said that the previous owner didn't let anyone on the site.
Why is it that when John is pointing at things as "obvious" on his geo-phys my eye is always drawn to other bits that look much more "obvious" but are apparently nothing at all.
Trust me, they are highly overrated. I have not set foot in a pub in more than twenty years, and I could easily go another twenty years without doing so again.
How safe is it to wander about in there? Those pillars look like they might drop a brick or stone on someone’s head! Once Time Team is done, the owners should block off all access to that part of their land, just as a matter of safety.
I wouldn't be surprised if they've toppled by now. If they haven't, then THAT'S the surprise - and I wish they would have gone into why they hadn't toppled in all this time. Was there a solid column within the stone-stacked column?!
Do you ever do follow ups? If I were a landowner I wouldn't want to fill in the trenches, but rather find some archeologists interested in continuing the dig. Obviously it could also be quite lucrative as a tourist site. Although I would assume proclamation of a historical site might mean forced donation to the government, I would hope most people would just want to KNOW... Has this happened in any of your earlier episodes, the continuation of your work?
I know I'm from the USA. That being said, if taking government money for historical sites, it would mean turning over your rights to do what you want with the land and even ownership of it. Also, opening up to archaeologists groups comes having to have some kind of insurance in case of injury. It sucks. I really love these shows and the history of it all. I guess there's only so much they can find out in the "three" days they show us. I suppose it's up to the landowner if it continues. Also, isn't there a law about not being able to keep artifacts found on your land? (Possibly get some sort of compensation for them though, but cannot keep them?)
@@patriciamorton1068 yes agreed, if there's anything I DO know it's that all of these factors will vary, county by county, province by province, country by country, and even year by year across all boards giving enough crazy red tape to drown us all... And like I said Government seizure of historical property or even just unending moratorium of use would be highly probable.. I guess they call it "scheduling" there... I just wonder if anyone that's been on the show throughout the years, when we caught a tiny glimpse, has continued digging. I would love to watch a "10 years later" type of thing and see if someone said, "I'm not plowing my potato field anymore, find the rest of the priory and graveyard and let's see what happens." It's very sad to me that when huge projects like subways or other tunnels reveal ancient archeology, they only stop for a bit and then seem to typically keep grinding away the past because they only have the plan and permits to do what they're doing where and when they're doing it. the propensity seems to be that if you see something like a human skull, hide it and keep going... we can't afford to stall "the project". it's funny how that works. "we don't have time" to find out what happened 5000 years ago, we have a month and a half to get this done... really? really sad. I would just love to see tony and team revisit ANYWHERE they've been where more research has been done, and at a slow steady pace, even if what they found wasn't monumental.
The government (local or central) does not take over archaeological sites in the UK. Even if they wanted to, there are just too many. There was public indignation when the only Roman building left in Scotland was demolished by its owner early in the 18th century, and later when the owner of Shakespeare's mansion in Stratford had it knocked down because he was annoyed by the sightseers coming to his door. Much later in the 19th century we started to get laws preventing destruction of ancient monuments officially recognised as such.
Some of the Time Team Specials revisit sites. A few revisits (not necessarily specials) I can think of are Athelney, Turkdean, and Dinnington. In terms of continued excavation at sites generally, sometimes what's been found during the Time Team dig has been enough for more local archaeologists to secure funding for further investigation, and sometimes they went to sites already being excavated but with a lot more resources to really help advance the understanding of the archaeology there.
This site is in need of further exploration, imagine finding the resting place of king Anna, love the time team gang, but 3 days is so frustrating on most sites, rip Mick, what a loveable character
Going by Sam's hair and when this was actually filmed, you can tell he's wrapped up in history. I don't think he realizes what year it is. It look like he was plucked out of the 70s. Haha
As an American, I literally cannot imagine a world where I wouldn't be alarmed or surprised by real human skeletons on my property. Is that something Europeans just, like, deal with?
Even with such a confusing and frustrating site, the team is all so calm and diligent. The great love and respect they all have for Mick is literally palpable. You are greatly missed, Mick.
OK please can you bring time team back I used to love Sundays because of this program and I dare say there are thousands of us who would welcome it back like a long lost friend.
It's in our hands, support the return on Patreon !
I couldn’t agree more, Time Team was and is fascinating, and it is well past time to make new ones, please.
put some money where your mouth is and go to patreon, look up "Time Team" and give them some money
1600+ views per hour since it went live. The world misses Time Team.
we really do
There’s an effort to bring it back. Check out the Time Team Patreon page. They hit 1000 subscribers in under a week. www.patreon.com/TimeTeamOfficial
I guess their time has come and gone.
Better then history channel because at least they find shit
Can we get a reboot?
RIP Mick, and Mick's favorite jumper. 💙🙏

I like to think that when he reached the other side, some of the abbots of this monastery came up to Mick and introduced themselves and told him the story of their priory.
I think as an atheist this might have terrified Mick!
@@stevenhale2935 He cant be perfect.....
@@Arthagnou What do you mean?
😅 I don't think he's an atheist now! I hope Mick knows what he did on this earth. He touched a whole bunch of us.
As a late coming yank, as is our way, this show carried my spirits during the quarantine.
I don't date Time Team episodes by Season/Episode, but rather by Tony's hair.
What about his stomach must be 2005 or later
Yep same here, the longer the hair the earlier the episode
Or lack of 😂😂😂
I do it by the wear on Phil's hat ;)
@@acmejia Has it ever looked less worn? My old eyes could not spot the difference.
Time Team has literally got me through lockdown. I miss this show so much. Channel 4 should reboot it for a new generation
I would love that but you just know that they have to have diversity in it.

What a beautiful spot the owners of that house have! I'd love a beautiful garden with old ruins!
Right? I'd love a wild garden with genuine ancient ruins!
As long as I don’t dig up bones every time I plant a geranium. Call me squeamish.

Favourite programme on Sundays. Loved it. Glad to rediscover it here. Hope the make a new series. Enough viewers for sure.
Mick has stripey socks to match his jumper! I never knew that. This man has so many surprises ❤️🧡💛💚💙
Apparently viewers used to send Mick, knitted items..cool aye
He had striped gloves, too. I miss him.

Whats black shuck???
Any info on the updates for the Priory? All I know is that 1) New Landlords and 2) from google maps the Posh Garden is there
Amazing site.
I love Phil! Phil is an archangel archeologist pirate.
That lady digging by the wall was really surprised when he said 11th century.

Awesome viewing.
00:40, yep every little church I've been to has been a couple dilapidated walls in the middle of a forest
Love all these old videos. I would love to buy a piece of land in England and have them come out and explore for artifacts
SAME! This show makes me want to pick up and move across the pond.
Lol, its not that easy im afraid
