Excellent! And beautiful presentation, too. Realized after I clicked on it that I’d click on anything that has Uncle Phil in it, or as my middle son just said, “the guy with the hat.” 😂 Edit: Holy smokes! This was an hour??? It felt like 30 minutes, max.

Can you imagine how fantastic a tour with Phil would be? Between his incredible experience and knowledge of archeology and his delightful personality a tour to various archeological sites that he’s worked on with him as the leader/teacher would be a once in a lifetime experience. It’s too bad that Wessex Archeology doesn’t actually do something like that. I’d pay big bucks AND fly to England to do so. Knowing how many Time Team groupies Phil has I’m sure that a lot of other folks in the UK and abroad would sign up too. Go Phil!!!

What a privilege to meet Phil. His knowledge is phenomenal. A very interesting episode. Thank you from South Africa

Brilliant video! Phil Harding is a world treasure and we've all been so fortunate to have learned so much from him. I've taken up knapping flint and the plentiful obsidian we have here in NW Washington state, between 2 volcanoes, Mts Rainier and Baker.

Wonderful! Well presented by the red-haired lady. Great to see Dr Phil! The legend continues.

I am ditheringly delighted to see that our Dr. Phil is part of a dig that will bring him so much joy. Flint is beautiful!

Watching from Canada with goosebumps and thoroughly overwhelmed. Teared up when Phil walked into West Kennet Long Barrow. I visited these places once in 2019 and they've changed me forever. I dream of one day returning and walking in the footsteps of the ancestors once more. What a dream it would be to live in this place surrounded by this landscape.

At the moment I'm at a loss for words except to say this was just beautiful. A wonderful, wonderful video that was beautiful to watch, and amazingly informative. I thought this would be familiar territory, but I have learned so much more. And now I know to look at the whole area as one piece; an interconnected story about people. I'm going to be watching this video a lot becase there is too much to assimilate in one or two sittings. Thank you Wessex. You've got another feather in your already loaded cap. 😊🤠

I was fortunate to be able to visit this area twice, in 1975 and in 2005. The enormity of the effort expended by the Neolithic people to dig the ditches, mound the earth, and erect the stones has always astonished and awed me. I'm glad it's preserved for the ages. Being an avid Time Team viewer for decades, it was a delight to see and hear Phil again.

It's great to binge-watch Time Team, and come up to date with Beyond the Stones, and see how Phil's understanding increased enormously over the digs (there's nothing like experience, is there?). His enthusiasm is and has been fantastic, and his ability to explain to other people why he's excited, and what's going on, has improved enormously, too! Rock On, Phil!

I would give anything to spend a day listening to him talk about this stuff. His enthusiasm and passion are my safe place :)

What a magnificent production! And it's so wonderful to see the incredible Phil Harding still at it. 💖💖 I have been lucky enough, many years ago, to visit Stonehenge back when it was just a site in a field that anyone could visit and climb on, and again just a couple of years ago to visit the amazing visitor centre there now. Unfortunately I didn't have enough time in the area to visit the museums and the other wonderful sites. Still, it's one of my favourite parts of the world!

I'll be the 1000th person to say it. People like Phil are such a treasure in his field, and for the world. His enthusiasm for archaeology and history is so infectious.

Good to see Phil again. Have been watching Time Team since the early years. Love that series.

Excellent film. Beautiful photography. The explanation of the wider landscape was fascinating. Including Bulford was interesting. My father did military training at Bulford Camp in the 1930s. It was lovely to see Phil Harding again. I watched Time Team from the beginning when it first aired. I think there was a programme called Timelines when the valley in Devon, which became the Roadford Reservoir, was recorded. I believe Phil Harding was involved with that. He is always so infectiously enthusiastic.

I love how much enthusiasm & love there is for Dr Harding- who shall forever be to Time Team aficionados the world over as simply our delightful Phil- in the comments section. A truly fitting epithet for such an incredibly intelligent, humble man, that he is so beloved for his willingness to share the font of his knowledge & passion with people all over the world and be utterly beloved for it ❤

I know that everyone has already said it, but how wonderful is it to hear Phil’s voice again. His enthusiasm never wanes and he is an amazing source of knowledge. When you’ve watched someone for so many years on a wonderful tv show such as a time Team, you feel like you know these people, and of course the brilliant Professor Mick Aston, who I miss to this day. We’ve sadly lost Mick, Victor and Robin Bush but we still have Phil. Just wish we saw and heard more from him, his voice is like music to my ears. Thank you for this from Australia 🇦🇺

Thank you so much, I really enjoyed this. School books in my childhood depicted Neolithic people as hairy, primitive, dressed in raggedy animal skins and hacking at mammoth carcasses with stone axes. Videos like this make it clear that they must have had a sophisticated and stable social organisation. They must have had a language with the richness of vocabulary and complexity to communicate and organise and plan. They divided labour. They traded. They built things for the future. Within the bounds of their technical knowledge they decorated and made things of art and beauty. They were us, but a long time ago.

After a tricky start, I warmed to the flame-haired presenter. Always great to see Dr Harding. Over all, this is a compelling and hugely worthy film. I've been to all these places and they still bring up a sense of pride in what my ancestors achieved in these green islands in the grey North Sea. Too, the production quality is way up there and brings to the ringside seat the majesty and daring of those times. Many thanks to everyone for putting this together.

When you listen to someone with huge amounts of knowledge on a subject it can get dull, but listening to Phil and Nick talk you can feel their passion for the topic and it really comes across - no errs or umms, they want to share what they find exciting about this fascinating monument and I love it. Thanks to everyone involved in this, you're very groovy individuals.

Phil sharing his own "mother flint" with us was a delight and an honor. Phil made this MORE than a documentary. I hope, in some small way, he understands how important viewing these sights from his eyes is in making pre-history come alive.

Incredible and magnificent sites; seeing them shows just how strongly connected to the land people were back then. It was nice to see Mr. Phil and hear his insightful comments about what he thought of it all and some of the artifacts that he had found.

I could listen to Phil talk about rocks and stones till human civilisation crumbles back into them.

So good to hear and see Phil again. Wish we could see him dig. Nothing better than seeing him find a piece of flint.

Did the engineers happen to mention how Neolithic peoples moved a100 ton Stone? That's frickin huge! :) PS ... It was great to see Phill. Big TT fan

Missing the whole gang from Time Team, I go back and rewatch all the episodes over and over.

The passion and enthusiasm of Phil is just contagious. I was out of the UK for the entire time of time team and never saw it real time. He is so important to gaining the feel of archeology and its relevance to anthropology. "My site" is just classic Phil... get out my trench comes to mind. :) A.,

Time team was my covid escape! Love Phil, his laugh was infectious and a joy to listen to! His enthusiasm for his craft was amazing.

Phil is our national treasure, his knowledge is pure gold , would love to spend an hour in his company, what an education that would be

I love the moment when Dr. Nick Snashall just casually takes the mace head out of their pocket. What an awesome thing! Everyone included has obvious passion for the subject and so completely hooked me. Just lovely!

Phil Harding, my hero. Always a pleasure watching and listening to him. I really enjoyed this video. Thank you for sharing this with us.

My Italian friend an archeologist had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Phil Harding, Franco said that he had an incredibly strong hand shake, from years of digging with his little trowel.

Congratulations to all the creators of this beautiful documentary- I am very proud to be a contributor!

I visited Avebury twice while in England a few years back. I was so impressed I had a 38 foot diameter stone circle constructed on my land out of stones that come up to my chin. Giggling at what the experts say about it in 1000 years. My contractor and I had a blast arranging it all.

I watched this just for Phil. Phil is a living legend and we miss you

Great Doco Emma and Wessex Archaeology. 👍👏👏👏😁 The ‘three stones grouping’ speak to me as representing cooking stones, as you need a minimum of three stones to sit your cooking pot on, over a fire and the hearth is still the centre of every home.
