The first and last time that Time Team was loathe to dig up a garden. I want a t shirt that says “Time Team: Destroying Gardens Since 1993.” It would be such an honor to have a garden dug by them!
OHhhh, I've just started to rewatch Time Team and had forgotten HOW young everyone was LOVED THIS SHOW THEN and Still now 2024 so much has changed Miss you Mick RIP
it’s important to the history, scientific, and archaeology fields but in terms of cultural impact it’s not that big of a deal…only really changing historical programs to be more entertaining and less technical and factual
I'm in the US and I have found this series during our quarantine from covid. I always wanted to be an archaeologist as a child. The series just absolutely fascinates me! I also love the cast!!!
A girl who, as a child, wanted to be an archaeologist... damn that has to be rarer than rubies. I'm pretty sure I'd have fallen madly in love with you if I'd have met you as a child when I too was a child.
If you're near a Marine Beach then you're not too late! This is particularly true of the lower Us East Coast after severe storms. Some of those skipping rocks may not be skipping rocks if you know what I mean..?...!!
This show is addictive. It is funny to see the earliest episodes where they were figuring out the method by which they would present the show. Lot more drinking in these episodes too. I think I miss that in the later ones.
I am so glad that Time Team is being presented now,, by Time Team. The video quality is excellent and more, I feel like I am finally being loyal to those that created this content. I would ask,,, if you could please associate these videos with season and number. With nearly 300 videos here or coming, it would be helpful to organize my viewing. I intend to watch all of them again. RUclips can make sequencing them (RUclips does not suggest them in any sequence,,, often the same popular one video over and over,) nearly impossible for the viewer. Thank you.
@@TimeTeamClassics funnily is that this is also a documentary series about the architectural style and home furnishings of mid 90s Britain not to mention hair styles and fashion i find my self thinking about some one i know who lives in the uk and wondering i wonder where she was what she was doing at this time and honestly its ... and odd .. feeling .. sort of wistful sad and also interesting
@@TimeTeamClassics I agree with her. The S & E numbers need to be in the video Title, not the description. Thats how we can best follow a season through in correct order.
I loved All the regular cast. I think Phil and Stewart were my favorites. Stewart was always marching to a different drummer. And Phil was such a character. But everyone was great in their own way. I would always enjoy the specialists and be excited to see them again.
This is probably the twentieth time I watch this episode. Its one of their best ever. And I have said this many times, but again, Rest In Peace, Mick. Your legacy lives on in these glorious videos.
I would like to see a Time Team revisited series. They could go back in order of the original show and tell us what has happened since they left. They did this once I think but I would like to know more.
Sad to tell u but times have changed and interests have been lost, theres not enough room for these stories in the new and brave Britain. All we can do now is cherish these examples of simpler times and hope to return one day.
I am a American citizen and im so interested in this time team episodes I can't stop watching.. Ty who ever has posted these .. they look to be from early 90' s
he could have easily been ignored but the drawings were good enough to add a lot to the show so evolved to being key to them and even setup a few great jokes by Tony and the crew
@@renaenolen8461 tbh I think Tony looks better in his older years. Tho he is fatter, he otherwise looks way healthier somehow, and better with short hair. Tho he is now balding, but still it looks better to me than here lol Phil was a right tasty snack tho here haha.
Thank you for bringing Time Team to the screen again, whilst reminding me how bloody old I'm getting. I was a young whippersnapper when this series hit the TV, now I'm approaching Phil's age at the time!
Just found this series & found out the early ones were in the 90's. Would be interesting to see some revisits of sites using more modern tech to maybe get more refined pictures
It's fun to see the cast in their younger days. But it also shows how short life is, 10yrs is only 3650 days. When your young one's reference of time is different with 10yrs seemly forever but the days & years fly by with an older view.
I had never seen Time Team before they were on here, I do not think they were shown here in Canada. I think Tony is a great host for this, and he seems to show a genuine interest in the history.
I always had a weird feeling that I should like him, but didn't put any weight on that. But learning that he now, at 74 years old, has a wife that's 36 years younger than him (younger than some of his own kids) put a reason to that.
@@MuscarV2 anyone can marry a person half their age tbh. And just kuz they're married to such a young person, it doesn't mean they're happy, or their person isn't an arsehole, or maybe they're abusive and beat their sig. other or etc. However, Tony is and always has been an absolute legend tbh. He's been married several times to people his age, previously as well. Which in your nonsense logic might mean there would be "no weight" yet, as to his being likable and potentially awesome. Ridiculous twat. 🙄
Gosh, it's funny to watch these in no real order and see how the main crew changes (or stays exactly the same); but also the change in technology and techniques they use each season. I found it hysterical, in another episode, to have the cutting-edge concept of "GPS" explained, when today it's in everyone's pocket! But there's always loads of good old fashioned digging, and really illuminating historical information. And one thing's for sure: big chunky cable sweaters never go out of fashion!
Tony provides that lovely balance of science vs theater. Which leads to some wonderful, measured and unhurried responses from the science folk clashing with some "So what you're saying is...".
I love women's fashions of the early 90s. Fully fashioned, sensible, comfortable. Pockets! Linings! Substantial fabrics! Room to move! Mostly ancient history now...
Jeez, wear what you want! I was appalled at those shoulder pads and never bought a single item with those, for example. What really got me was the sudden change to much larger necklines, so for a year or so there were clothes all over the floors of shops that had fallen off the hangers. Then they started putting in those thin black straps inside to keep the stuff on the hangers, but that didn’t solve the problem of your undershirt showing
Much Wenlock--one of those quirky town names. Reminds me of the P.G. Wodehouse line, "Until you've been cooped up in Much Middleford, you don't know what cooping up is."
If anyone else is new to the program, I discovered that rather than skipping all over, just go to Time Team and choose the series you want. I’ve now begun with the first year and will work my way through each season after that.
I can’t even begin to say how many times I’ve watched this episode along with the rest of the other videos. Absolutely love time team and the whole crew
It made me laugh, seeing "shit brook" written across my screen, for sure. Things I just don't except, from this show, but that always delight me. Like another episode, when Tony was yelling across the water to a dude in a boat he just made, about whores. 😭😭🤣 So unexpected, so thoroughly appreciated 😌😌😌
They're significantly less melodramatic in presentation than the later ones became, which I really appreciate - more of an academic flavour and less of a reality TV one, even though featuring the same team? It was cool to see what non-Time Team jobs the various personnel were doing at the time of recording, too.
Funny watching early Time Team where they were asking and looking for early sites to investigate. Compare that to the later seasons, there were so many sites begging them to come they couldn't pick and choose fast enough. So many great sites were passed up out of necessity.
I never knew that the three day limit was due to a Friday thru Sunday schedule, makes complete sense now. Plus it's amazing how little they've all changed since the 90s....Carenza is just as adorable as she is now, honestly they all are. They are the extended family I wish I had, from the eccentric uncle (Mick) to the attractive auntie(Carenza) Can't wait for the new Patreon episodes 😍🤗🙌
It does make more sense about the three day limit, if they used to have some sort of presentation deadline. (I invariably swoon over the ladies in each episode, but Carenza is the only one that doesn't tickle any of my fancies)
wow You guys had sooo much more hair and youth then MORE HAIR than I have had for MANY years. I particularly live the banter AND the OBVIOUS WARM FRIENDSHIP you show
@Scrooge McGruel not sure whats confusing you. it's my natal surname, not one I married into. That means that my father was a montgomerie, his father was a montgomerie, his father and so on.....traced back far enough (I've only managed to trace us back to the 15th century) I'd imagine there would have to be some connection to Roger de Montgomerie. As for genetics, why would I care?
Given that the population of England at the time was about 1.5-2 million and the fact that technically you would have over 2 billion 32-great grandfathers (2^32/2) suggests that he appears several times over in your ancestry as well as in the ancestry of most people with "native" British ancestry. But well done for being able to name one of them, though.
The view from the helicopter is very helpful to get a sense of the geography. If I'm not mistaken, this one of the first few episodes. Yet we hardly ever see the copter shots in later episodes. Why not? I hadn't seen any of these shows before the pandemic. Now I've seen at least 30.
After i watched a lot of recent episodes, it's so impressing funny to see Tony and Phil in such young age :-DDD In anyway an great episode again, well done 🙂
I love how the ‘Old World’/Eastern Hemisphere has such rich history and development for thousands of years, a great contrast to the rapidly changing climate of much of the northern US where the climate necessitated a largely nomadic civilization. Native Americans were so adaptable and resourceful but without quality lyme and soda ash they couldn’t develop the concrete and mortar that Europe did, also they had to concentrate on daily life with small communities and a culture that emphasizes unity with nature so while they did trade for seafood and furs they didn’t often grow and hunt more than was needed to survive winter and early spring so they didn’t see the rapid growth as was seen in Rome and even those civilizations in Central and South America. Even though most of Europe and the British Isles are at a higher latitude than the northern US (Boston is along a parallel similar to Marseille), the currents that run counter clockwise from the equator bring warmer water along the shores of Europe which result in milder weather especially in winter so they have a better chance of maintaining a growing community in a static location.
I can sure tell that I am living in 2021. People just walk up to your home, reach out their hands to shake and I have a gut response to it. I love this episode, have watched it many times, but not since Covid. Cheers
@@psychedelicprawncrumpets9479 I do but to see it happen after several years of fist bumps and elbow bumps. It is sort of startling. I guess I must have gotten visually "conditioned". I must be weak minded. Cheers

I went to a school that was the adopted home of a small herd of Shropshire sheep now that I think about it. Amazing insight into their genetic homeland and the people who must have sold this ancestors wool.
It's fun to look at Google maps so many years after and see that these backgardens have been paved, but even further back there are nice gardens, maybe communal vegetable patches for the village
13:23 one of the funny things for me watching this is actually seeing what life was like in the mid 90s in the uk when this was being made lol the fashion the clothes the cars
@@justinelliott3529 I grew up not that far from Much Wenlock. The UK crime stats are easily available on the internet. Why did you think that Much Wenlock would have been much safer in 1994 than it is now?
A very young Mark Horton there. To think that I was living in England when the first few seasons were made. Brings back memories that’s for sure and I do miss the old pubs
Not a US field jacket. Fabric too light, design is incorrect in several ways, has buttons. A US field jacket is zippered and heavy fabric that lasts for decades if not abused.
11:20 Tony is really playful in this episode Plus, I finally get the meaning of "buttery"--storage for the butts, or barrels, of supplies. (Buttload, hogsheads, etc). I had wondered why they needed so much space for butter, which was a byproduct of milk production...
Dendro dating is very scientifically accurate and very impressive. Carbon dating is too affected by changing conditions it is only effective for approximately 5000 years. BUT the So called experts being paleontology theory still cling to it. Glad to see Time Team are scientific people. Their obvious respect and friendship toward each other is IMPRESSIVE
I love the Time Team episodes but have inadvertently switched on the subtitles and the "translation" is appalling! It obviously is not reread or checked in any way. Think the episode I am watching is Much Wenchurch. Shropshire from a Brit in South Africa.
It always makes me laugh when the people who do all the talking (and no digging) get frustrated with those doing the work, and it is WORK! It’s a good thing that Phil was pretty good natured.👍
As long as you don't go traipsing through his freshly cleaned trench without permission. If you are dumb enough to do that, Phil will go ballistic on you. According to Phil that is a hanging offense.

@@psychedelicprawncrumpets9479 I am sorry I thought I was talking to someone that lives in reality. I should have known by your name. Are you so much of a troll that you can't use your own name on your comments? No belief in the truth of what you post? Goodbye, Cheers.
Love Phil's conciliatory tone, "it might be possible to dig a small trench".
Awesome story! Love how tony is pulling it all together!
I went to a school that was the adopted home of a small herd of Shropshire sheep now that I think about it. Amazing insight into their genetic homeland and the people who must have sold this ancestors wool.
New favorite episode. Mick without his corporate jumper.
It's fun to look at Google maps so many years after and see that these backgardens have been paved, but even further back there are nice gardens, maybe communal vegetable patches for the village
13:23 one of the funny things for me watching this is actually seeing what life was like in the mid 90s in the uk when this was being made lol the fashion the clothes the cars
Much safer place too
@@justinelliott3529 Crime rates have fallen slightly since 1994.
@@georgedorn1022 I assume you live there so I’ll take your word for it
@@justinelliott3529 I grew up not that far from Much Wenlock. The UK crime stats are easily available on the internet.
Why did you think that Much Wenlock would have been much safer in 1994 than it is now?
@@justinelliott3529 if you don’t mind the threat of the IRA still looming and booming…
Did anyone else give pause at the mention of “The Shit Brook”? Asking for a friend... 🧐
HAHAHA just saw this, rewind, & .....what....?!?
Just came to see if anyone else mentions it. Lol
Hahaha, yes the shit Brook 🤣I did, I had to google it, it’s no mistake 😅
several mentions, in fact. I wonder where they drew their water and how bad the typhus was
I'm guilty
My Aunty and Uncle lived in cottages in the Cotswolds in Witney Oxford they used to belong to the Duke of Marlborough.
I love how "Shit Brook" is partially blurred out on the map but then Carenza just says it anyway...lol.
A very young Mark Horton there. To think that I was living in England when the first few seasons were made. Brings back memories that’s for sure and I do miss the old pubs
5:00 "Good for virgins, Much Wenlock, quite clearly" 🤣🤣🤣 What a treasure Robin was!
Beautiful wine glasses these blokes are using!
Phil wears an M 1943 US Army field jacket in this.
nope,it looks more like a 1960`s dutch field jacket
Not a US field jacket. Fabric too light, design is incorrect in several ways, has buttons. A US field jacket is zippered and heavy fabric that lasts for decades if not abused.
Found the banter between Phil and Tony and all of them in general
A Hale and Hearty Phil....time marches on and grinds us all down. RIp Robin, Mic and Victor.....I wish they would go back and dig up her yard.
I love this show, it’s strange to me though hearing different towns that we have here in Massachusetts, like Shrewsbury.
11:20 Tony is really playful in this episode
Plus, I finally get the meaning of "buttery"--storage for the butts, or barrels, of supplies. (Buttload, hogsheads, etc). I had wondered why they needed so much space for butter, which was a byproduct of milk production...
@Scrooge McGruel yes it is 126 gallons US; just a measurement for alcoholic bevs like wine, etc. You can still pun with it though!
Indeed
Dendro dating is very scientifically accurate and very impressive. Carbon dating is too affected by changing conditions it is only effective for approximately 5000 years. BUT the So called experts being paleontology theory still cling to it. Glad to see Time Team are scientific people. Their obvious respect and friendship toward each other is IMPRESSIVE
Phil was a proper hippy!
Thank you.
This episode has much more wine times! Bread and cheese anyone?
Mick didn't even have his rainbow jumper at that stage.
The auto-generated captions are a hoot!
Only the English could sound polite while flashing “The Shit Brook” up on the screen.
It's the right name so why bowdlerise it?
PrimusPilusVorenus Lol true

@@thelegion_within
I know. 😏 Now look up *_Grape Lane._*
@@philaypeephilippotter6532 lol nice
I didn't realize till I saw earlier episodes that Tony wore a ear stud
I love the Time Team episodes but have inadvertently switched on the subtitles and the "translation" is appalling! It obviously is not reread or checked in any way. Think the episode I am watching is Much Wenchurch. Shropshire from a Brit in South Africa.
Thank so much for posting
Greatest show since pythons flying circus
"the shovel just cut your hand off Phil!....ahhh, its just a scratch"!
WOW, an early episode. Everyone is so young.
Was here Nov 2019
January 2021
It always makes me laugh when the people who do all the talking (and no digging) get frustrated with those doing the work, and it is WORK! It’s a good thing that Phil was pretty good natured.👍
As long as you don't go traipsing through his freshly cleaned trench without permission. If you are dumb enough to do that, Phil will go ballistic on you. According to Phil that is a hanging offense.
That looks like a very nice small town
It only took 11 min. of watching this one ep. for me to Subscribe.
Mick and Vic miss them both but their talents,words and art live on even if only in film
It's odd to see Mick without his trademark stripy jumper!
And where is Phil's hat?
The Shit Brook, just where I want to get my water! Lol
