God, I love the people on this show. I’ve tried to explain my fascination with Tony, Mick, et al, but my words fail. It’s like visiting with old, cherished friends whenever I need a fix.

Couldn't have said it any better! Especially in the last weeks after an arthroscopy of my left knee not being able to work, they did help me not to loose my mind. 😅 I did really need some friends in this time. Even if it is a rather one-sided relationship!😂

I love you all. You are such a wild collection of originals, everyone with a distinctly own sense of humor and I really could picture me having a met or a beer with you. Doesn't happen often that I see a single person I feel I could fit in with immediately - let alone a group of people. If you ever dig in germany you are welcome to come by for that drink anytime. Bochum for sure still has MANY places where you could find something interesting. It's in the center of the ruhr area and has a long history.

Why doesn't germany have a TIME TEAM you've got a lot of history there probably more than us in the UK??

T.T. just love it. Relaxing, educational, & never boring! 📺 CLASSIC! 😊 👌🏽

Two of my all-time favorite episodes are here, Speke Keeil and Mull. Besides wonderful archaeology, seeing Mick so happy makes them special. He was so in his element, so enthusiastic with what was coming out of the digs.

Of the bone specialists that appeared on Time Team, I've always found Jacquie to be the best. She doesn't talk down to people and she just seems far more practical than the others.

Stewart seems to always be in the field next door to the one everyone else is in. 😂

One of the best digs happen a couple km from me. Oseberg ship

This was clearly one of my all time favorites! And weren’t they battling the hurricane at the same time. Can’t remember which hurricane.

I was thinking they would have included the Viking ship burial.

Loving up.

Thanks!

Phil is my favorite

It would be fascinating if they could do DNA testing on the skeleton with the remaining hair to see if anyone is related to it.

They cannot do dna on hair unless theres hair roots, that sample hasnt. The teeth would be the best chance for dna.

They could do mitochondrial DNA on it, perhaps, but you're right. The teeth would be a better avenue to take.

two of the eps featured arent really Viking though. there are other Viking digs I expected to be in this along with Finds on the Fairway

The saintly site wasn't exactly very viking now, was it 😂

And just like that, another 50 mins passed by!

Metal detected since 1986 digging our history how do you think i think about it

All well and good, but who stole all the cat-tails?

First episode is the only viking dig, or am I missing something?

At what point does it become acceptably to disturb graves? 1000 years?

In the UK after a century. In the Netherlands, 10 years after burial when the family doesn't pay for continuation of the plot.

Sorry, Time Team Classics, but apart from the first third of this compilation, this really had little to nothing to do with Vikings…! I can remember at least two brilliant Viking digs that would have lent CREDIBILITY to the Title! Unfortunately, they were nowhere to be seen here.

Viking. Is there a little mistake here ?

@@kevinjohnbetts I find you very diplomatic (not always a bad thing). As far as I understand, Mull was before the Viking age, and the other one after. So, either the label is wrong (I can't think of a common denominator) or there was a mistake in the editing. Either way, it should be corrected.

@@jacquespictet5363 I can't think of a common denominator either. Possibly 'Early Medieval' (which is the term historians tend to use) or 'Viking Age' which would still be tenuous but I think people get that this covers quite a wide range of dates. I try to be diplomatic when it's easy to appear argumentative ..... and we know how arguments can escalate on the 'net. 🙂

Tony - is this a case of Vikings weaving their myths into the bible myths ? Haha come on tony have you had a bump on the head ? I'm sure your just saying that for t.v . Maybe the next dig can be the massive PAGAN temple under the Vatican, or Did they dig under the Vatican and put a temple in the hole ?
