I'm relatively new to Time Team but I am fast becoming emotionally attached to these archeological goof-balls. In this older episode it's fun to see Tony and Phil (and their hair) so much younger. I had no idea this series has been running for so many years. But longevity is a true sign of quality. I'm glad to have finally discovered this wonderful show. Better late than never. Now I must rush off. I want to see how many episodes of Time Team I can binge watch in just three days and time is ticking away. 😉👍🏻 LL

When you've run through them all, then go find the four episodes of Time Signs from 1991, the mini-series that were the precursor for the Tony Robinson hosted Time Team. Here you'll see a very handsome and well builded Mick Aston at age 45. So was Phil Harding of course. You'll see him when the speaker presents the wild man from the Stone Age. It's held in a much calmer format. Perhaps this couldn't live for 20 years, but I hold it very dearly and appreciate these four episode highly. Thought I'd recommend them to you. Cheers

Then you have fantasy opinion theorists like Graham Hancock who come along afterwards and comes to his own conclusions. It annoys me that his narrative is about the secrets hidden and truths denied by archaeologists, and yet in time team we see a diverse range of opinions, a dedication to educating the people and a healthy skepticism before assuming the conclusions they want to see. If he really wanted to prove his atlantis theory, he should be funding research with people who can do the work he comments on. I'd like to see Tony & co give a reasonable appraisal to the sites he uses to use for his book grift Phil Harding could give Hancock all the info he thinks is 'secret' over a pint in a pub (i.e. lack of evidence)

An ode to what a great television show is: entertainment and education with soul and a beating heart! I'm Portuguese and living in Portugal and I just became a Patreon for Time Team's return in the Digital Realm and new content creation. All the best and here's to 20 seasons more with the same passion for Archeology and History!

I am glad to see that Tony has not changed much in the 4 years I have been following Time Team. He is ALWAYS disheartened. He expects to find great things constantly. Anyone who has ever done archeology knows that the majority of times no great finds are made. Phil and the others are excited with any and all finds because each find, no matter how small, helos to add to history. I love this program!

I love this show, a great cast. R.I.P. Mick Aston and Robin Bush.

YES! GO BACK! I can't stress enough how much I'd like to see some revisits of the 20 years where people have continued research, and you might not even have to dig, or maybe the scheduling will allow you to dig a bit more... even just an update and review would be "smashing" as you brits say, or "awesome, dude" in my language. Add to that the new technology available and the ladar that's already been done nearly worldwide and I think you can answer quite a few questions. I'm still not through your oldies and goodies but I wait with bated breath for some new ones. I hope you can get some of the old team back, at least to supervise.

Every time I see a new episode I think it’s my favorite. I think I’m just in love with the whole series of videos. I’m sorry this series has ended even before I discovered it.

Is this the official Time Team channel? with episodes in good quality? Guys, you just made my day! There were only several seasons broadcasted in Russia, so I had to watch other episodes in low quality.

Some years ago I had my DNA checked and I was told that I was a descendant of Sommerled. I had no idea who this man was,so It's nice to have some information about him and that over 1,000 years ago knowing that I've got Norse/Viking ancestry. Somewhere down the ages an ancestor must have married, or cohabited with an English/Saxon, hence my English name. It's a shame that Time Team wasn't around then and I'd have the full details to my Family History, now lost in the past.

Love following this time line. How long has it been running, Tony has never stopped, seen him from a young feller with a lot of hair (and an nice beak, guess that is why he keeps going he can smell out more things than others can not). leading a team like this you end up learning a lot. He has a way of doing commentary that sorta drags you in, There is one other person that has been able to do so David Attenborough . You seem to follow in his footsteps and going a lot further. Were he was around the world you are doing it from home (despite the rain slipper stuff) manage to achieve awesome results.

Well worth an hour of history that will capture the imagination. It's like uncovering the great, great, great XXX of the first Big Mac! You don't have to ask, where's the beef? AMAZING!

There were "petty kingdoms" in Scotland. One other that I have heard of is the "Kingdom of Fife".

It looks like the early days of Phill's hat. No stains, and the feather is on the opposite side.

I thought this might have been the only video about Islay where they didn't mention whisky but at 30:40 they bring out a bottle. It is slightly difficult to work out what it is but by the shape of the green bottle and the Red/Black/Gold colour scheme, it looks like the back label from a Bunnahabhain 12-Year-Old from the 1990s. (This dates the episode from that period). This makes sense as the distillery is only a short distance from Finlaggan.

Oh my god, having to explain GPS. 😂 This was such another time.

Has anyone noticed archaeologist Phil sounds like Mr. Moulterd from Grace and Favour ?? 😂😂😂 Love this show- very exciting and educational.
