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.

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.

I miss Mick, but I miss them all just as much. Such a great great treasure ruined by bean counters.

Loved Time Team.. Learnt more about history from watching that show than years at school!! RIP Mick xx

Mick may be gone but his legacy is brought into my home everyday through Time Team. RIP Mick. God bless the entire Time Team too! ❤️

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

I was terribly saddened to learn of not only Mick's death, but that of Robin as well. Two great loses for Time Team.

RIP Old boy. He was a gentleman, and a fine disciplined archeologist.

I loved this programme , one of the best ever , Mick and Phil were great

2021 still here.. Love time team, it lives forever on Utube. RIP Mick.

I'm about in the middle of all of the Time Team episodes. Mick definitely was a special guy, and his enthusiasm for archaeology was contagious! He really know what he was doing, too! He understood there was a reason for everything... Miss You Mick!

I wish that my school teachers had a thousandth of the enthusiasm and knowledge of Mick Aston. R.I.P. a great loss, to the family and the world.

I watch them again and again, I’ve learned so much with all those series, and I miss the whole team as I would a dear friend.

R.I.P Mick Aston, blessings both to him and his family. A great man with great enthusiasm and one I am sure many will not forget. You will be missed.

The best show on telly ever.....

Prof Mick - rest in peace and throughout the centuries sir. You and TT were very special to me when times were dark.

Love Mick, he is so calm and knowledgeable. No matter what he is TIME TEAM!

Oh how I loved that man. Sadly missed.

Time Team was and is my favorite tv program. Thanks to the internet I watch all the old programs. All of the people on the show were so fun to watch. From Mick to the unknown archeogist on the dig, they not only taught you history but each keep you entertained. Mick you are very much missed.

Beautiful man. Flamboyant, humble and brilliant all in the one colourful beanie.

Late to TT and love it especially Mick. What a fantastic teacher of history. Was disapointed to learn that we had lost him. The world needs more Mick's.

I live in the US and love watching the old shows with Mick and the Time Team crew

Mick was a much loved and respected figure combining erudition with enthusiasm.

mick was a rock star. R.I.P

Just found this series and man, do I like these people. Just knowing Mick is gone, four years later, kills me. I'm so sorry he was angry in his last months. R.I.P. Mick!

I never learned of the show until this last year. Luckily for me, there are some episodes I haven't yet seen. ^-^ R.I.P. Mick and Robin. Your legacies live on, and continue to educate and entertain many to this day and beyond.

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.

Thanks all for putting this tribute together. I've learned to love all the Time Team people on quite personal level. I've enjoyed every single episode, and the entire lot of you. Thank you, thank you, thank you! After discovering Time Team on line, I kept thinking, "Mick is a man I'd really like to spend an afternoon with."

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

Needed a much longer tribute for such a great man and fantastic programme.

RIP Professor Mick Aston. You made me laugh and I learnt a lot about Archeology from your enthusiastic investigations.

Missing Mick , is such an under statement cause he really WAS what Time Team 1.0 was all about, and though he will never be replaced, his memory lives on now, in the New Time Team 2.0..Love and Gentle Hugs to you Mike, from here on earth to God's heaven above..

I loved mick he's was time team. He will a,ways be Time team 💜 thank you for your lovely tribute . 💜

A great character who was so enthusiastic about everything he did. Also, he had a tremendous sense of humour. An inspirational expert. He will be sadly missed.

Some one will find you in a thousand years my friend

AH, Thank you for all that fantastic info and enjoyment RIP my friend ....

Great man, great show. Someone bring it back!!

Time Team a history lesson that wasn't or never intended to be a lesson, brought more history into our homes than schools ever did and we didn't mind learning from it either bring it back even repeats is OK, bless you mick and Phil with his spade. one programme. I'm surely going to miss on a weekly basis why didnt they all get honours from hm the queen?

He was a really enthusiastic person, he was on my 'would love to meet' list

Mick was such a loveable and intelligent person. Miss him, miss the whole team and program.

Loved this man. The world truly lost a treasure.

Will be sadly missed a great man

RIP Mick was something very special!

Go to show I don't listen to the news that much, I have only just found out that Dear Mick Aston has passed away. really in my mind and heart Mick is still with us. 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.

The best show of all time I miss Mick ❤ Tony and the whole team 😢

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 !

Loved watching Time Team, miss them all greatly when they cancelled the show it was like losing members of my family

Man, I miss Time Team. Still have the DVDs, the BOOKS, the memories... and the emblemed fleece jacket, though!

Mick will be missed! I Love The Time Team!!

Lovely bloke. So knowledgeable about the history of our land and its people. Fantastic series. Miss it so much. Wish they would do some more.

One of the best television shows ever. In Australia we only saw the last couple of years' worth of series. Please replay the series from the beginning.

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. ^-^

Mick could seriously send me into stitches with his quick quips and retorts. I think I played that “farting around” scene 5 or 6 times!

I love you all. I've been enlightened and entertained and feel as though I've lost family.

so sad. He died to young and to soon. R.I.P

With all due respect, I'm sorry to say that with his untimely death, the magic of TimeTeam began to fade. He could bring the past back to life like no one else. I bow to a great man whose light may never be extinguished.

he for sure will be chaffed when he sees the - Mickmobile - in the new episodes. though they will not be the same without him. -chapeau -

August 2017 and I still watch Time Team episodes on the telly. Loved Time Team for years and was really saddened when Mick Aston was announced dead. Robin's death was also an upset.

Heartwarming people . Thank you all .

The only constant is change. Time marches on...damn it all!

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 like the occasional programs that Tony does and when the others pop up as experts. I liked the way that over the years the young archaeologists who were only in the background became experts in their own right!

Just watching a re-run of this show now. Truly one of the great shows in tv history...until some witless producers got their grubby paws on it.

Time Team - Dream Team...

This prodigal son the USA, love and esteem you, your King, and the people or, just every and any thing British, I dare say. NOW, I loved Nick like only a dislexic guy could. To me, he was your consimet teacher. Showing and asking the students questions that are ENLITENNING and teaching the people the intelligent approach, to any archological situation under any conditions. except Meteor`s.

Great show, never missed it !

Loved time team.

"Mick was Mick." I don't know that I could honestly put it better than Phil.

Time team died when they recruited Bill Oddie and I believe Sandi Toksvig, it lost its attraction as a serious archaeological program to a joke show for them, Mick was a real archaeologist through and through and foundation of the show, R.I.P.

Man I loved this program. Does it repeat anywhere, anyone know? (And gotta say that Tony’s grin at the end is gold).

Rest in peace sir

RIP Mick

Interesting talk.

Like the teacher at school who kept going till the end RIPMICK

My wife and I discovered Time Team just a week ago, the best thing to do during the Covid situation. There is nothing on main stream TV worth watching anymore and the left wing news coverage is crap.

Michael Nolte I am working on Season 11 because that's where I first saw it on Netflix. I guess I have a lot of episodes to watch, like seasons 1 through 10. Another good show on Netflix is The Repair Shop.

Would be nice to see the timeteam back.

For Christ's Sake! I have just spent half an hour chasing a non existent audio problem with my computer, only to find you only have audio on one channel! Give me a break! PS loved Mick Aston.

Who got his jumpers ?

they are trying to bring time team back. will it be as good or the same? I think without Mick it won't. It could still be good if they have the right people but it will always be Mick's baby.

Mick is missed, but the new Time Team is coming. I believe the first full episode will be in December of 2021. Check out the "Time Team Official" KZread channel: kzread.infovideos

I miss Mick and Robin. But I value the "time" I had with them and with them all. Why did Mick always wear stripes?

Hope someone out there can tell me which episode starts off at 2:35...The one where Mick gets "hacked off." My thanks.
