- FULL EPISODE | CLASSIC TIME TEAM SPECIAL
In our latest Special from the archives, Sir Tony Robinson and Time Team seek recent evidence that supports a new and more complex understanding of the Vikings. Starting at Lindisfarne, Robinson explains how the record of the raid in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle cemented a reputation of the marauding berserker. However, the following 250 years now represent a significant Anglo-Scandinavian cultural legacy. Excavations, for instance in York and Orkney, paint a picture of settlers, farmers, merchants, and craftsmen, integrating into the local culture and religion. The Team spend time at the dig in Hungate in inner-city York, where finds similar to nearby Coppergate are found. They explore other aspects of Norse culture, such as sword metallurgy, jewellery, stone carving, bone tools, and extensive trade networks.
Original broadcast date: 11th October 2010.

I want to extend an enormous thanks to the entire crew at Time Team. I've grown up with your shows, they were my dad and my 'go to' programme when we'd have a day of just father-son bonding time. There's always a nostalgia for me and still bringing out quality content all these years later is something I will cherish and share with my future children too. I now live in the historic city of Norwich on a hill overlooking the great Norman built cathedral and am surrounded by history I couldn't have appreciated without the seeds you guys planted years ago. You've been there through some rough times when I needed a bit of 'home' and I can't thank you enough for all the hard work, time and effort that goes into giving us these wonderfully enthralling shows. Long live Time Team!
Bravo! I feel exactly the same. I'm probably in a good 100 episode rewatch on every one . magnificent program. Thank you Time Team. 😊
They wont f you
Thank you. You are very very welcome indeed. That is so kind of you
Amen to that! 🇨🇦
Have they ever found anything?
Baldric is still looking for his giant turnip after a thousend years or so.
I have notes on 20 seasons of Time Team. Handwritten because I'm 73😊. Grandma 🤗 hugs

In the US we have really no history. I'm in love with Britain.. I'm keeping notes trying to figure out your history time lines.... ❤I'm 62...
@@terrydamron4770 You have thousands of years of history. The mound builders, the native Americans across the whole continent, the amazing geological history of the last ice age and the disappearance of the mega fauna, the fascinating history of piracy and revolutions. Just because it was prehistory before the arrival of Europeans, doesn't make it any less interesting than British or European history. I'm obsessed with pre-Columbus America, it's such an evocative history.
@@malbennett9806 indeed! we have our own mounds and henges and ruins. why, i live a couple km from a river tributary full of bits of worked flint, pottery sherds... basically, the area's archaeology shows relatively steady periods of habitation from 20k years ago until the present day (not to mention fossil finds as early as the cambrian, if that's what floats your boat). our public school system could use a massive overhaul, and history is one (of admittedly many) blind spots.
I take notes on all history. I live now near Pueblo and Navajo history. Most of my family culture is Swedish. But great dig in York! It has always been my passion ❤️
Do not forget that the Normans was of Viking heritage, so the Viking age in Britain did not end in 1066, it was just new Viking rulers that took over. Greetings from Norway. 🇧🇻
Yep I always tel folk we weren't done by the French, once had a argument with a frog about this subject and ya know what he got it 100%
I find that hilarious, personally.
So technically, the Vikings DID build an empire. It was just called the British empire.
@@somedude6161Russia as well.
Rus is said to mean "row" but IMO it likely stems from HROSS, or the horse-heads ("dragons") featured at the ends of the ships.
"Russia" then means "Horsia", which is rather fitting considering that is where the horse, as well as the scythians that brought horse culture into scandinavia, came from.
@@fredriks5090 ah yes. The czars were of Viking decent until about 1600.
Mick would be proud that time team is back at it and going strong.
@marqueemark5917Agreed there are a few that need to up their game infront of the camera, but i always like seeing the old crew back together.
Tony is a true storyteller! He's more than a host.
I haven't watched this in 10 years or something , amazing episode! Greetings from a Norwegian Viking.
Bonjour to a 0007, from a 007...
Speaking as a loathsome American, (who, coincidentally, has both Scandanavian and Norman blood) I appreciate these programs in/on the history of Britain.
Cheers, from loathsome American in the Willamette Valley of Oregon.
And where did our first Americans come from. Just sayin

Stewart has such beautiful hands! My children adored Time Team when they were young and now are introducing the programme to their own children. Time Team will never grow old. Thank you to everyone involved.
I have seen 20 seasons of Time Team, is that enough for a degree in archeology? 🙂
It's enough to teach a course in archaeology. But you only have three days ....
Have you done the accompanying labs, or just attended the lectures?
@@ariannedechateaumichel7777Ha, ha, I'm am actually taking courses in archeology and history and have a study trip next week.
Praktikum?
@@ariannedechateaumichel7777 Study trip to excavations next week.
Tony Robinson is my hero.
I love Phil Harding, that guy is awesome 😊
Btw im danish, so kinda funny this episode was about our Viking past
LMAO, someone who acted stupid for a living is your hero?...hilarious. These mugs waste millions and find a bit of broken pottery and lots and lots of "guessing" you don't know how TV works🤣
Ime english name ending in son and have two viking traits @@snedler
He is rather awesome ❤
@@naomiboisson6966 I would say the whole team gives time team the amazing gift to let us watch and learn through tv and have a good time🙂
Phil and Tony have a way with always having fun with each other and in good moods..
Amazing tv serie 😀
Love them or loath them depending on your point of view, this is one American who loves you Great Britain and all your history. And Timeline,too. I was standing on the exact same spot you opened your program in July 1992 and walked all the way around from the Lindisfarne Cathedral to the Castle. It appears to be a bit farther than I remember. Afterwards at low tide I walked back across the Causeway. Truly one of the highlights of my life.
In the opening moments Sir Tony points to the falicy that the vikings wore horned helmets. Then every artistic depiction shown of a viking continues the horned helmet myth.
I remember "Summer of 969" Great song!
My thought exactly!
Ohhhh, I saw what you did there.
Were you waiting on your Mother's porch? After all, the Summer wouldn't last forever.
Were they the Best Years of Your Life?
I’m glad I wasn’t the only one, lol
I found TT during the pandemic lockdown. I will never stop loving the show and the whole team!
Great programme as always. Well done for keeping history alive!
I'm an American from Minnesota, a Midwesterner, and by ancestry I am related to these people. Thank you for bringing them to life for me.
Best! Show! Ever!
The Viking Age didn't really end at Stamford Bridge. The Normans were basically Vikings with a thin Frankish veneer, making the harrying of the North (i.e. the Danelaw) an inter-faction Viking thing.
Not that the conflict between the Anglo-Saxons and Vikings was much different.
The Angles, Saxons and Jutes came from a similar area, spoke a similar Germanic language, worshipped the more or less same Norse gods when they arrived, and invaded/settled by crossing the North Sea in longboats.
You should come to Newfoundland, Canada and visit the Viking settlement.
Love Time Team... just good for the mind.
I love seeing time team and tony at the beginning giving you a warm welcome is like seeing an old friend who has a story to tell
I could watch Tony Robinson all day and listen to his stories, I have grown up with him first seeing him on Boffs Island when I was a kid, he then went onto other Islands to discover our all important history. Thank you Tony and team, this was fascinating!
Excellent. I really enjoyed this! Thank you Sir Tony and Team. 🌟👍
I was once asked who would I like most to have a meal with and my answer was Tony Robinson. What a wealth of knowledge and experiences he carries around in his head.
I've only recently discovered this channel and I'm so impressed with the stories that you uncover. I'm so glad that this story was told the way it was. The Vikings had such a big influence on the world and weren't just raiders. I'm sure that life in many towns of their homeland were tough conditions and it makes sense that they were made of tougher stuff but they were also people and it's always great to see the other side of them spoken about.
I love Time Team!
Nothing beats Time Team series 💞it's just the best🌸🌸🌸🫠
I’m surprised that at 3:26 and then onward Tony and the Time Team perpetuate the inappropriate use of the term “Viking”. All those Scandinavias who came to our shores were Norse. Some came as warriors, were admittedly very cruel, and were known as Vikings because they “went a’viking”, I.e., raiding and pillaging. Viking is a verb and those who did it were “Vikings”. Many of the Norse folk did viking at times but many were also farmers/settlers who contributed so much to our society. I think it’s an important distinction.
We already know that. 🇩🇰👊🏻
So good to see Tony back at it again!
Just fabulous, thank you all.
The ruins at Lindusfarne made a dramatic setting to discuss Viking deptedatulions.
But that monastery had been built long after the Viking Age. And destroyed by Henry VIII or other enemies of Popery...
An excellent episode. There is more to the Danes and Norse than those who went Viking...
Great episode! As an American, the little dig at the end made me laugh.
My daughter and I never missed an episode I think it was on every Sunday . MY daughter is now 52 years old . Well done TIME TEAM 👏👏👏👏🏴
I think a lot of us older people could have used TT during history classes. It would have been far better than the monotone films and dull literature 👀😄
Definitely
Thank you for sharing!!
Happily shared with a Viking friend of mine - this is a great one.
Time Team on You Tube is a ...... cunning plan . Good on you, Baldrick.
time team is one of the top shows ever on tv , I watched every episode tony the ELVIS of presenters.👍🇨🇦
Tony does it best The time team crew make history just interesting
Another fun, amazing show. Tony is unstoppable.
If she says "rune" one more time, I am going to swim across the Atlantic in a trance. What a beautiful voice!
Its my name :)
I so miss the OG time team 💔
I will definitely rewatch some Blackadder episodes after this.
Every time I see Mick, Robin and Ian the elder JCB operator I get wet eyes. Two academics and a backhoe operator . All brilliant at their trade.
I started archeology as an advocate when I was 10. I'm now 76 and can spend some time digging it! I spent weeks, visiting relatives in Chicago and exploring the Egyptology section of the Field museum. Over the years I have touched many areas of ancient history and discovered that as a kid I had sledded down hills in a local park that were actually mounds of the Mississippian civilization the greatest of which is Cahokia outside of St. Louis. It was in mediaeval times larger than Paris or London with huge geological constructs, mounds, along waterways in the Midwest! My hometown monuments were only documented by History Signs at that time and later by one monograph on Aztalan near Madison, Wi. Cahokia is over plowed and only recently being geophys-ed. I'd love to see Time Team tackle parts of these sites, Cahokia, Cutler Park, and Aztalan with their unique mix of tech, acute observation and camaraderie to explore more of these sites.
And when I was a kid, my Irish Celtic relations swore that we kept Vikings in Ireland as "practice in the struggle against the British" Can you say cultural bias?
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐BRILLIANT! I haven't seen this before, Time Team Official, which is strange. I thought I had watched absolutely every Time Team Episode ever made, but then this Precious Gemstone turns up! FANTASTIC! Fantastic on so many levels. I'm a descendant of King Harald Fairhair & the Lade Earls of Trondheim, and my Viking Ancestors were always prepared for Battle, and weren't afraid to fight outnumbered. But they cherished Fishing, Hunting, Arable Land for Crops and Trade far more than War.
I just wish the late and Great Victor Ambrus had been partaking in these episodes! It is absolutely cringeworthy seeing Vikings being decked out with Horns and Wings on their Helmets! A helmet needed to be efficient like every other Instrument of War, and that stupid decoration would just have been in the way.
Other than that, this was a FABULOUS EPISODE! Thank you, Time Team Official! 🇳🇴🇩🇰🇬🇧👍
Another brilliant overview of Viking life and influence. Thanks to Time Team, I’ve read several books on Viking history and culture. Many thanks for years of hard work and dedication.
Fascinating period of history and as always, most amazing show!
Absolutely brilliant! Thank you!😊
My dad was stationed in England(early 1950s. He noticed that many English surnames were of Norse origin. Our people are Norse.we love the English. My cousin started a furniture making operation. Olaf Brentwood.
I love time team ❤thank you for this 🎉
Had to share this with a knife maker. Love this stuff ❤
Yes, can't wait!!!
this one should be good like all the rest.
Loving it thanks.💕💖
only the members of Time Team would get that excited about discovering 1000 year old "Viking Poo"❗️💩
Thanks, that was a fabulous video. Hats off! 🙂
I love Time Team, It's great learning from you, even I live in the Netherlands
Love this show.
awesome happy sit back and enjoy
Some of us moved back to Scandinavia !🇩🇰❤
Tony really landed on his feet with this job. Something that he is passionate about and getting paid too.
Sir tony robinson is a national hero!
So good❤❤❤❤❤
As a Californian of British Island ancestry, I loved one of the closing lines - ".. and like Americans, you either love them or loathe them."
Great episode!
It never surprises me when we find out people have always been people.
Absolutely have loved all of the Time Team episodes, keep them coming!
The idea of a British man taking anyone to task for being an invader is hilarious!❤️🤗🐝
Obviously ya not reyt good at history 🙄
Haha exactly, what business does he have calling Americans invaders 😂
@luapnosboh7421 and what history is that exactly? lol

Thank you.

Great show!
Brilliant episode, always enjoyable - but especially the viking age. Hello from Argyll
Glad to have “discovered “ the Time Team you tube channel. I don’t have a TV only my iPad. I want to know so much more about post Roman Britain.
At 17:30 and on... OMG... Folks were brutal!
(After watching this, it's hard to determine my favorite episode of Time Team.)
I love Tony!
Very exciting! Great work )))
Hey, I live in Minnesota USA and the hat with the horns is part of our beliefs, as the headgear of the "Vikings" American football team.
Runes in Maes Howe ... Well I never! I learn something from every Time Team
First of all, I am an American. It is very obvious from other comments made by Tony Robinson which side of the coin (loathe or love) he falls. He loathes us I have had the great opportunity to work in Great Britain, and never got the feeling I was loathed......not once. In fact, some of my fond memories of London are of after-hours at the local pub having a few pints with my fellow British mates.
And have you seen Britain's track record with addiction, deaths, and history about it at all?... itslike an eigth as severe it is here in america.. you get shunned here for being addicted... the British own it and mostly don't acknowledge it as much of a problem...
Nitpicking: York wasn’t renamed Jorvik by the Vikings. Before they came, it was called Eoforwic. “York” is a distortion of Jorvik
Thanks
"That's incredible, that you can get that level of finish"
* Danish.
I would add to all the comments and accolades the music, that is much improved over the older programs.
Wonderful programme: thank you. One quibble: when the Normans came over in 1066 when Harald lost the Battle of Hastings, right after the Battle of Stamford Bridge, William of Normandy's men and soldiers were actually NORTHMEN. i.e. they were Vikings who had earlier been settled with land in northern France. My husband has traced his family lineage back to the invasion of the Northmen, and guess what: he's 6' 3" with bright red hair, a beard, and a military disposition. Incredible to think that those genes continue to be passed down over the centuries to the present day!
And you like to get pillaged?

I like all your shows from Indiana USA 🇺🇸
5:43. Your discoveries are amazing all the time - even backwards flying gulls.....accompanied by a comment by Tony of someone doing something in the past....no, seriously, I like the show a lot. And then 6:43 she goes forward again! Then Tony sais. "Fast forward......", are those jokes acidentially or intentionally? Great details.....
Good stuff 💯
32:00 We may have just unwittingly discovered the source of the 'Orcs'.
Hello from the Midlands
More of these with Tony.
I hope it will happen on my birthday, April 2nd!
long time ago,the original. but still to watch it once more.and again.and again...
Just the bantering between TR and the team,staged or not,scripted or not, are fun to watch.
What an amazing episode. Being an American, viking culture has ALWAYS been seen as violent, horned helmet wearing thugs, though for years I've know otherwise. How I wish I grew up in Britian. Thanks to Time Team, watching every episode and learning as much as I can, I have learn so much not just about its history but alot about our world as we see it today.
What he said at the end about us Americans makes me look at Robinson and this show in a whole new light. They lost me as a patron!
@@susannortham11.11 He is right, though. And this I say as a Norwegian. Americans are all over the place and interfere in how other people rule and care, but it doesn't mean every American is everywhere, just like not all Scandinavians were everywhere in the Viking age, and not every travelling Scandinavian were plunderers and murderers - but if you messed with them, they were merciless. How many conflicts have the Americans engaged in? Remember it's not necessarily a bad thing. Actually, the Norwegian politicians and their henchmen still involve themselves in all possible conflicts, and see themselves as the perfect agents for peace. For my part, they can stay at home and take care of problems in our own country, and let other people sort things out themselves. It's hubris, megalomaniac madness from the politicians in a tight little country that is rich in money. Many times I am ashamed of them.
It is different with the Americans. You are the world's most powerful country, and should get involved. The British can otherwise keep their mouths shut, because if there is anyone who has meddled in everything in the past, it is them. Besides the Arabs.
