Nancy, on one of the episodes, the TT crew invited some former service members with some pretty serious PTSD and other issues along on a dig. One of them found it so fulfilling that, IIRC, he decided to study archeology. Maybe there is something there for you too. I'm happy for you that you find some peace with TT.

Love Time Team it was my favourite show as a child and still one that I come back to time and again, great to deal with my anxiety. The way they treat the child remains in this episode is testament to how they care about the people of the past. BTW if anyone is interested in the rules archaeologists have to follow regarding bodies in the UK there are sites you can visit, like Historical England, which go into detail.

I love watching these. So relaxing to watch.
My eldest daughter and myself we are all watching from all the way down under from Mount Gambier in the State Of Great Wild South Australian.🥇🇦🇺🦘⚜️👑⚜️🏴🇬🇧
I love this ! Getting the whole area in on it is just brilliant
Bless the time team. Giving a talk to a town this small helps pick it up in their eyes, the young might not want to leave as the thing to do but to be of that town. We have lived in a number of small towns, they are hard to become one with them and all you hear is "you moved here ! I've been trying to get out!".
Tony misses teachable moments with his rants about 'finding absolutely nothing' and the 'stains in the ground' rants, among others. The rest of the time, he's brilliant.
Such a Magick show.......everything just meshed perfectly with the people on this wonderful show.
Bring it on Team, can't wait!
I truly love and enjoyed this Episode mainly due to these people, weather they knew each other or not, all got together and had a great time digging up their gardens to help find out the age of the entire village. Looked like a awesome three days, for one and all. What DID come out of all this was pretty great as well..Gotta Love Phil, when Mick and Tony are at the church, and Phil discovered the child's burial, and says, he is gonna give it the proper respect and just leave it where it is, and move on.. WTG Phil!

It's still a village of only 2000, most of the people would have known (or known of) most of the other residents.
Gosh! I used to live there back in the late 60s!! Wonder which house was ours ^*^
Amazing! ten more episodes
The reason this show is so memorable to me is its characters, with Tony and Mick my favourites, they for me are the perfect pair that bounce off other so well.
Awesome.
Context is always so important on TT and this episode is great example of The Team explaining who/what/why & when

Just started watching this one again but just wanted to say what a sensible approach to archaeology in getting community to feel involved and also adds hands and sample data as well as getting them invested in the process and learning. Spot on 😊
23:48 a very good boy wondering if the microphone boom is a threat to the archaeologists...
I love how they don’t give a crap about grooming or fashion. Just pure business. The show just wouldn’t be the same without Mick’s wild hair and rainbow sweaters, and Phil’s Daisy Dukes.

Phil rocking those jorts again, as always 😂 Ooh, and Matt's looking particularly twinkish this episode 😘
While Mick Ashton plays a rather passive role on screen through out this episode, few academics get to realise their hopes and dreams for their field of expertise as he has here. He is quite clearly content to let the event play out around him. If ever there was a celebration of community archeology it is this episode. It’s a deep shame that the classic time team format was so short. There really needs to be a multi part director's cut of this episode, with less voice over and more vox pop. I have no doubt that Nether Poppleton was changed forever by this event. I would not be surprised if there are good and bad aspects to this change. It would be interesting to know if residents who chose not to participate in the Time Team community dig at the time, have later become positive about it.
Bless their souls, no offense intended, but the scene of the townspeople marching off with picks and shovels made me think it was Monty Python's peasant army gojng to chase away the gophers from the golf course. Great episode TT!
Haha the kid in the background at 2:17 😂
Had the episode on mute for a minute and then saw Tony at 3:23 and said to myself, hey now what's this Romanesque wavy-handy gesture all about?
so sad to think about the parents burying their child in the middle of the night
Fabulous video. Cheers to all! 🇬🇧👍🇺🇸
After discovering the increasing concentrations of Saxon pottery towards the West of the village, I'm surprised that all subsequent digging was at the East. The Tudor mansion was an amazing discovery, but I wonder what else awaits uncovering at the Western end. It was great to see so many people involved in their home village's historical discoveries.
Love the sexy shot of Phil in the beginning. The confidence of this man is so fucking cool
Great episode, love watching these. Thanks.

I couldn't help noticing that the artist's impression of the Tudor manor looked like a thinly disguised picture of Gainsborough Old Hall.
Where there's a Tudor mansion, a monastery probably existed before! 🤨And before the monastery, quite possibly a Roman settlement was nearby. That seems to be the pattern I've stumbled across, anyway.
31:50 they mentioned a vallum, could that relate to valence as in Benham Valence?

I think they’ve been making sure the preliminaries for the 2 digs later this year are all in order.
Kinda curios as to how you can get more medieval than Norman England in England. Tudor was the transition period from medieval to renaissance, Saxon was the dark ages between the Roman and Norman periods ending in 1066 with the Norman conquest. Norman England was Medieval England... Tony never explains this conundrum he presented in the intro.
I am curious about the mansion find. Since the locals had "no idea" that it was there, my question is, is there evidence that the construction of it was completed? Was it inhabited? I just wonder if the structure was never finished, it went to ruin, and its remainder when on to build the other Tudor house as suggested?
I think the statement of the child burial under the church might be a bit of a stretch. We do know that under Catholicism, especially during the medieval times, people were often buried under the church or under the awnings of a church with the belief that the rain that fell on the roof would fall off onto the burial and bless the burial. This was believed to bring the deceased closer to their god and secure their place in heaven. We could assume that this could also be an example of that.
