    Mick's enthusiasm being praised as if unusual by his equally enthusiastic colleagues is rather endearing. Enthusiasm seems to be a career trait.

    A wonderful show. I've learned more history from this series than I ever learned in school. Mick Aston was a marvelous instructor. I'm sorry the series ended, but with the help of modern technology, I can watch it all again and each time discover something new.

    One of the many things I loved about Mick was that no matter who was telling him their ideas, from a 6 year old kid to other world class archaeologists, he always paid attention, respected whoever it was, and really listened and interacted. He had that great and unique gift that only the truly talented can possess to never talk down to anyone, but to help raise them up to his level, and make it fun. He (and all of Time Team) are sorely missed.

    RIP Mick.

      Everything has a time. It was a great run of 20 years and no one would have predicted it would last that long and become the institution it has.
      At least now it's back in online form with some of the old crew and many new faces.

    Utterly brilliant programme - one of the very very very best things ever done - the team seemed to become old friends - so glad to be able to watch it on YT. Parents - sit down and watch it with your kids, better than fantasy computer games - it may inspire them to get out and understand their own country and value its heritage. It's been here a long time, it must be treasured and not taken for granted

    I’m a newbie to these series. I don’t know why I didn’t watch any before this. Actually I tried but couldn’t get through an entire episode in one sitting. But I’m now hooked. I watch an episode or two a day. And it’s because of Mick Aston. You can’t help but get drawn to him. Personable, approachable and down to earth. He swears like a sailor but he’s real. He is what you see. I remember one episode when he swore and it escaped the censor. I thought then I really liked the guy. I think it was an episode in season 10 when he tried to lift a bell made from bronze and it was really heavy. RIP Mick Aston.

    It was such a wonderful series . He and all the rest of the crew, were so interested in what they were doing, and so well informed . I learned so much from Mick and all the rest . To this day , I still look at land in a new way and at bumps and uneven ground . Near castles where I live and think, what is under there , what stories lay hidden ? But I think they would have worked for free if they had too ! Thank you Mick , for your enthusiasm, it rubbed off a little on me !

    I'm a late comer to watching Time Team. It's only been in the last year that I've known of the show. I really think the entire team were wonderful, even the newer people that so many put down. But Mick was perhaps the most loveable of the bunch in my opinion, and that's really saying something when you put him up along side such an awesome team of good and passionate people. R.I.P Mick Aston, you don't know me, but you've educated me some and made me smile even more many times. ^-^

I loved the Time Team show all ways watched it. Mick made the show what it was which we all thank him for. we all always learn something new and his enthusiastic and communication with the public and the rest of the team was well out standing. My Blessings go out to Mick Aston and all his family.

    I miss them all. I guess all good things come to an end and of course they are all getting older (aren’t we all!).

I liked the way that over the years the young archaeologists who were only in the background became experts in their own right!
