I know, right? Matt is gorgeous. Kerry and Phil are also good looking.

the cod fish used for the oars is actually klippfish & not stockfish. Stockfish is whole cod minus head & guts hung to dry in winter. Klippfish is split cod, salted and then dried on stone (klipp) in the warmer months. Both stockfish and klippfish continue to be produced today in Lofoten, Norway (68 degrees latitude). Lofoten remains the spawning grounds for artic cod, skrei, a centuries long tradition. The klippfish in the 1500's may very well have been from Bergan which controlled the export rights for stock- and klippfish.

Count me as another fan in the States whose just found this EXCELLENT series. Now this is REALITY Television at it's finest! Even though Mick has regrettably passed on, it would be WONDERFUL if the series was "re-booted" taking up where it left off complete with Tony, Phil, and the other team of archaeologists before the series was "fluffed up" during the 2012 season. It is a wonderful way for someone such as myself to see a bit of England which I'd never see otherwise. A very informative, entertaining series, presented in lay terms, that was not overly academically "stuffy". Thank You so much for sharing this wonderful series...

Mick was the educational force of the series and Time Team suffered when he resigned over differences in direction the producers were taking the show in what became it's final years.. September 29th of this year it was announced Discovery Channel is re-teaming with Tony Robinson for a new 3D documentary series.The factual channel has given the green-light to Tony Robinson’s Wild West In 3D, a three-part series which follows the former Time Team host as he sets out to expose the untold story of the ‘Wild West’ and reveal the truth behind the Hollywood legends.

Second: Philippa of Hainault (Queen Philippa) was born in Valenciennes in the County of Hainaut in the Low Countries, which is still part of France, her father was William I, Count of Hainaut, her mother was Joan of Valois, Countess of Hainaut, her grandfather was Philip III of France, so yes she was a French noble woman of the time.

Hello, Wolfroy47. No, Scheduling is a way of protecting sites of national importance. We Brits live in a small, densely populated island, and the country (through Parliament) has, since the 19th century, recognised that some sites are too important to be just left to their fates. Time Team's work, and other pieces of research that are never featured on TV, are some times desirable if a site is not well understood, and provided Historic England are happy that the site needs more research to understand it better, and hence to protect what remains, they will issue licences to excavate or do geophysical survey, both of which I (and my team, YCCCCART) have much experience in. As a condition of the licences, the work has to be written up and published, so it is in the public domain. It's right that they are cautious: we've worked on Iron Age hill forts and medieval castles and priories, although we generally shun excavation: it's just too damn expensive to do!

I find it odd that Time Team doesn't like (and even condemns...) metal detectorists but says nothing about the "public" stealing archaeology from ancient sites...
