This episode aired on 29 January, 2006, which means that it was filmed in 2005. Note around the 30 minute mark when everyone is having a drink outside in the back of the pub. No one is on a phone or has their head buried in an electronic device, everyone is actually speaking to each other at every single table. Smartphones weren't around then, with the 1st Gen iPhone being released in 2007. I really miss those days, just a scant 15 years ago.

The fact that flip phones were around in 2004 as I still have mine even though it no longer works. Not very many were out, and technology has changed since the early 2000s. And when Time Team was airing in the mid to late 1990s, they weren't exactly showing their series beyond the UK. I didn't even know about Time Team until I first found them 8 years ago here on KZread and I've been following them ever since, even going back when Netflix, Hulu, or Tubi have all their seasons from se 1 ep1 to current, on their rotation as well as KZread.

@@davepask4706 Ive already seen Dig 1. Some good archaeology, but they failed to build a narrative. Its early days yet so Ill give them time to develop the chemistry. What I loved most about the old show was its ability to give a site some coherent narrative, even when you end up (like they did in Dig 1) with a lot of different time periods all sharing the same location. Considering the raw material they had to work with, I found that the first dig fell flat, in that sense. Not one for the all-time archives, but it is wonderful to see Time Team back in action.

Bitter sweet to see Mick. Really bitter sweet.

Stuart, with his ability to reconstruct ancient landscapes with the scantest of evidence, is the most impressive of the archaeologists on this show. I wish they'd given him more screen time and followed him as he worked.

A river in a populated area is not a safe source for drinking water. People at that time use a river to clean there wash; animals stand in or on the water and people uses Rivers to get rid of some trash. But a spring, not far away, with a closed canal tube system and a well on its end or a basin was perfect.

A fantastic series which I missed all these years living abroad. Now I am binge watching them like the Poirot series which I never saw. So sad to see that some of the cast have passed away.😢

I see a lot of complaints about the show being only 3 days. Yes, I understand what is being said but if it was more the people who pillage antiques and ancient history would be out in droves looking for a treasure. It is safe covered back up again and hopefully will be worked by professionals some time in the future. I used to wish it was more than three days too, until I started seeing lots of KZread videos about "Abandoned castles" etc. They weren't abandoned, people were trespassing and filming where the sites/buildings were. I am thankful for Time Team and the reverence they show during each show, for the frail pottery and even the hard packed dirt someone used as their house floor. It is an honor to watch.

The reality is that most of these digs can be regarde as preparation for larger scale digs which will be made over the following months or years. I've worked on a few digs in the past. One lasted only as few days prior to development work and uncovered a manor house that was destroyed following the dissolution of the monasteries by Henry VIII. Another lasted nearly a year, and was on the site of one of Henry's hunting lodges.

Ive had the same thought myself, and Ive heard that both Mick and Phil expressed similar complaints over the years. But in the end, they stuck with the format because it was the only way they could "package" a show about archaeology. Just imagine how challenging it would be to try to make a one-hour TV programme out of a long-term, in-depth dig that could take months or years to complete. The three-day time limit was not about the archaeology, it was about the TV production issues and the need to have new episodes every week. Im pretty sure that many of the sites they worked, on Time Team, were "taken over" by other archaeologists, or will be at a later date. Ive even seen a much later documentary (starring former Time Team member Alice Roberts) that dealt with a site that had formerly been worked by Time Team, and clearly had been excavated much more extensively by a team from a nearby university.

Time is fascinating. Something like a villa and a bathhouse, full of life and people. Used every day for years, so much work and effort and cost to construct and maintain; then abandoned and forgotten only to be dug up centuries later and marvelled at by a generation who will also, in enough time, be lost to history. The cycle of life and death on this little blue-ish ball 🌏🌎🌍

the engineering described about the bath house is crazy.........that they had hollow box tile structures circulating warm air etc is amazing.........for 2000 years ago. The stream in culverts, they have appeared at a similar site, are testament to harnessing water down a slope to feed structures.........why lug about water when it can be piped right past your buildings...........rivers are always at the low point of the land and full of muck by comparison.
