The villa is a tantalising prospect a grand building almost as big as Buckingham Palace. While I wont be involved in the new sites, I was delighted to accept the role of honorary patron of the Time Team project. I guess I will have to plan a trip to the UK to get my archaeology fix now. Now British television can be as dumbed down and offensive as American television has become. I love time team. do they ever have reunions whereby you could meet the surviving characters.. i hate computers these days, they act up. The fun gone out of Sunday teatime! Us all. There are DVDs, some available on Amazon uk. I will miss my bit of kulcha. Well said, Paul! If ch4 wanted to save money why not repeat them from programme 1 . The past shows took it for granted that the viewers were intelligent and did not need someone (other than Tony I love him) to ask questions in his humorous fashion. Interested in keeping up to date with the latest archaeological finds across Britain? I have been watching Time Team since its birth and can quite candidly say, I have never seen and enjoyed such a beautiful piece of television. In mid October 2012 an all-points bulletin was emailed to Time Team staff. I feel like i know all of the presenters personally they had that effect on people.I watched it evolve over the years and couldnt wait for each knew series. Shame on Chanel 4! Time Team excavations at Binchesters Roman fort also helped kickstart a research project that is still in rude health (see CA 263). Time Time could go on indefinitely as long as it found a sympathetic home, and BBC Four would be ideal, their audience demographic would fit far far better than the current Channel 4 one, which is increasingly to try and chase the Reality/Makeover show market at the expense of original programming, and attract audiences that the advertisers prefer to exploit, rather than those with brain. The site is of national importance and we couldnt hope for a better team to help uncover its secrets., Time Teams return has had the backing of many celebrity fans, from Sir Michael Morpurgo and Bernard Cornwell to Philippa Gregory, Kate Mosse and Ken Follett. Many bad decisions for all the wrong reasons. Their presentation skills are very good indeed and could develop even more if the programme continued (not with Channel 4 please); eg Tracey, Jimmy, Susannah, not to mention Raksha, Matt, Paul, Helen, John and Stuart, all of whom are young enough to take over from the elder statesmen who could still guest if they do choose to retire one day! very sad. Also, a Presenter is not supposed to insult the experts he is reporting on. Sounds ageism to me, isnt that against the law now? The ABC in Australia invariably saw fit to show very, very few episodes of Time Team, although numerous repeats were televised, and like a good book, they were enjoyed by a public that is hungry for family value in TV productions. It makes me want to poke nyy head in and see the Geophys, operate the diggers to open a trench and pick up a trowel and start digging! It led to an appreciation of just how much information could be quickly gleaned from comparatively modest trenching. It is made up of real people and I have learnt so much from it. Time Team is a British television programme that originally aired on Channel 4 from 16 January 1994 to 7 September 2014. While the TV producers have obviously ruined a formula that entertained and educated millions of people worldwide for a couple of decades, I assume it is now beyond recall. I have enjoyed Tony Robinsons commentaries. Screening 13 episodes a year, as well as live digs and specials the programme was ubiquitous. He is 10. A viewers petition is probably the most difficult to achieve. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVRe_gMtXNo, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Time_Team_episodes, I Have Fallen In Love With Land Rover Freelander! Not that I want to live there though am quite happy to be an Australian. Hi Alan, thanks a lot for your reply very helpful. Coincidentally, digging within a tight timeframe echoed contemporary changes underway in the profession. Thank you to all of Time Team for 20 wonderful years. Is there any posibility of obtaining a copy of this and the program on the barge in the river Rhine. I cannot understand why you are axing it!!? Prof Mick, great bloke and always so calm, Carensa made a lot of episodes more entertaining and TR a god of comedy and history. Whilst not filming Phil still works as a field archaeologist with Wessex Archaeology, and has been involved in a project listing all known Palaeolithic sites in Britain. They seem to have replaced alot of the original cast for more easy on the eye team members, the new historian was a prime example. Im writing this having just had my daily lunchtime fix of a Tiime Team repeat on More 4. Official website also launched: http://www.TimeTeamFans.com Thanks everyone. It brought the money and expertise to investigate sites that would otherwise never have been touched. It will be sorely missed. And so agree with all here who say that C4 is very sadly dumbed down from its early days and mission. How do I get rid of discharge smell fast? Yes, the original core team with Carenza, and then Helen Geake, were great. Such mass-production was only possible with more rigorous processes guiding filming. It is obvious to me that they were always working on their format and that Tony was the TV guy while the others were the science folks. The team also included the likes of surveyors Stewart Ainsworth and Henry Chapman, illustrator Victor Ambrus, and fellow archaeologists Helen Geake and Phil Harding, and gradually the show began to grow its following, introducing a whole new audience to archaeology. And as others have said, perhaps it could be resurrected on BBC4??? Tony Robinsons role seems to one of a viewer who does not completely understand what is going on although logic says he must have a reasonable knowledge of the subject. This is not the present series I wonder where you are watching? Like others I have loved TT right from the start and have always enjoyed it. [3] On 24 July 2008, he received an honorary doctorate from the University of Southampton in archaeology. I cannot think why! Despite his sore loss, he did the right thing to walk out. I recommend Current Archaeology to young and old as a way of covering all eras and defining ones particular interests in the subject. What happened to the Time Team crew? Hopefully some other channel will take up the format eventually. In relation to earlier comments concerning Mr Robinson, all I can say is that if he was patronising us then it must have been a residual echo of Baldrics most cunning plan. Our family love TT and watch it together. We shall mourn the loss of TT in Australia, although the episodes arrive on our screens years after they are made, which means well be watching them long after the series ends were still with the old format so I cant comment on the new look TT. Much better than most of the rubbish we get now that there are so many channels chasing adverts & broadcasting ever increasing repeats. T.T. What kind of paint do you use on kitchen cabinets? Come on BBC . Give it back all the back room staff and put new life into it , a great progame killed off for no reason , Len. Mick Aston; Died: 24 June 2013 (aged 66) Winscombe, Somerset, England . It presented an intellectually enjoyable show to the many mature aged citizens of planet Earth and COULD continue to do so if someone with an gram of sense would realise that this show still has enormous appeal for the right demographic. The pair bonded on the idyllic Greek island, where Micks aptitude for breathing life into the past convinced Tony that archaeology had untapped television potential. In 2014. Harding was a regular on Time Team from the first series in 1994 until its cancellation in 2013. Only problem is the core members are getting on a bit, so no chance of it going another 20 years. Ive learned that anything classed as experimental Is just filler as theyve found nothing. I enjoy his style of presentation. With Phil Harding also on board, three members of the future Time Team core were in place. I entirely agree with the article it was definately the loss of Mick and the two new ones that ryined it for me and I have always loved it!! Spent time today discussing post-holes with a friend, others around thought we were crazy, but thats what Time Team was all about. My wife was not well for several years & she found Time Team to be one of the few programs worth watching. I wonder if channel programmers read these blogs? C4 has descended to abysmal levels. However, as a viewer I hugely enjoyed the opportunity to share in the Teams excitement. Spoilt in the end by Fixing something that want bust. Ive watched TT for years now and thoroughly enjoyed it. And, unlike Phil and Mick, one didnt long to give her a haircut!! Just watched the first instalment of Time Team America (H2,Thursdays,9pm). Their participation and enthusiasm clear for all to see. It took on all manner of projects, from the bronze age right through to World War II. Schooled in observational documentaries, Graham followed the digs as they evolved. Recently went to Jamestown where the 1st Time Team America was tapedthat was amazing. And there is much yet to dig and poke at historically in the world, let alone Great Britain. Keep the show going its fantastic Ive been watching it as long as I can remember Oh so true. Please bring it back with all the original cast the new ones where good but I preferred the old cast and format. In South africa we have seen so few TT programs and when in the UK on holiday I imediately check for surren programs to watch. And anyone who does not like Tony Robinson probably doesnt like Rowan Atkinson either, probably has not a read book over 30 pages in decades, and probably believes the Big Bang was what happened in their bedroom last night.. He became a familiar face on the Channel 4 television series Time Team . Whilst on youtube, also check out dig ventures; another fantastic project with another familiar face. Time Team has sometimes been accused of peddling stereotypes to the public, but anyone who has met the archaeologists will know that they are not cynical media-savvy operators adopting false personas for the camera. Im getting to the point at which I can glance at a find in a diggers hand and exclaim, Oh! http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/time-team-should-continue-on-tv.html. So sad to see my favourite programme on Channel 4 being axed. Thanks Julia and Lizbeth. If they wont reinstate Time Team ,then why not release All episodes in a DVD BOX set . I am not sure who set it up, but you can find it by searching for Time Team FB page. There is nothing else like it on TV. Mick mentioned that he had recently missed a train and, having a couple of hours to kill, decided to explore. IT DID NOT NEED JAZZING UP. You are going to be missed more than most of us realise. In other words, archaelogy, teamwork, and interaction in that order. Tags:
Jim describes this miscalculation as a death blow, which cost the show almost all of its behind the scenes staff. time team is the best progamme on tv. I have scoured the Internet watching every episode I can find, some more than once. time team r.i.p. The cast and crew were pretty obviously seriously digging their roles, (bad pun semi-intended sorry about that sort of). Phil had never sought or anticipated recognition for his public service and this was a family first. It's understandable that he should wish to protect a talent of such a tender age, but most expected . If an episode costs 200,000 and average 1.5 million viewers, would 1 million be willing to pay 20p via mobile phone or subscription towards making it, or 400,000 willing to pay 50p per episode? I would love to see as many of the team as posible brought together for specials or even to tell us what they are involved in now. How come journalists never seem to tell us these sorts of things? Finding it was to completely end, not, as Id hoped, to revert to its more successful format I was quite heart broken. look forward to some more american rubbish or more twits in big brother type of rubbish. It has also helped me find out more about my own history that goes back to U.K. Have caught onto Time Team on the History Channel. I had no idea it had finished. Some episodes Ive seen over three times each. i believe everything has a lifespan, and that must include television shows. All I can say is thank you to all at Time Team. On December 17, 2021, Williams was hired by the San Diego Padres to serve as the teams third base coach for the 2022 season. Off now to have a quick dig in my garden then on to Salisbury to stalk Phil Harding.intelligence soooo sexy. Time Team's Phil Harding explains why Waterloo Uncovered is such an important project, during our first excavation at Hougoumont Farm in 2015. Time Team Specials. The programme certainly triggered my interest and my wifes interest in Archaeology. I love watching the old episodes, the ones where there was fantastic camaraderie between the team, excellent and atmospheric music in the background which always complemented the era of the dig and the extravagant clothing worn by the team. It must have been amazingly hard to pull together the locations, permits, and logistics, add the art, historical research, music and local involvement, let alone process the dig sites. GOOD LUCK TO THEM ALL. In February 2012, Prof Aston, writing in the Western Daily Press, explained his decision to quit Time Team a year earlier, saying it was because Channel 4 had altered its format and the show had . This little part of the world (so far from Australia) was the birthplace of my father in law. The show ran on the chemistry among the original team, and failed to work as they left or lost interest. I thought the programmes inspiring and my grief was genuine at its loss of experts like Mick Aston and the programmes ending.The occasional sighting of a long lost member like Carenza Lewis in a published Report makes me wish for the experience as it unfolded once again. Time Teams legacy leaves much to celebrate. Ive enjoyed watching all the archeologists old and new & think Tony Robinson is a great presenter. In 2003, Matt was recruited as an archaeologist and presenter on Time Team. Have just watched the very last episode of my beloved Time Team And feel desperately sad.. . I completely agree with you Lauren. Oh Dear. First there was the short-lived show 'Time Signs, which then evolved into 'Time Team in 1994, with 'Blackadder star Tony Robinson on presenting duties. Time Team was the best program I have ever seen or hope to see. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment. Learned lots of the history of the show from these posts but I dont know whether Ive seen the cleavage or whether Micks absence from a dig is because hes doing something else, on hols etc or because hes gone. Copyright Brand Exponents 2017. Was it one persons requirements that brought extras into the show, persons not wanted nor needed, also not as talented as a walnut. I used to go into a hole with a size 9 shovel and spent nearly 33 years digging around obstacles like gas, electric, sewers, to name a few and I can assure you that I did not have the patience of some of this team. And the journey is not quite over yet. Which terminal does Virgin Atlantic fly from at Heathrow? But, as always with Time Team, the adventure is in the discovery of the secrets of the past, whatever they are!, Landowner Martin Fiennes a cousin of actors Ralph and Joseph Fiennes, and explorer Sir Ranulph says: Were delighted to welcome Time Team to Broughton. I have just realised that time team is to be axed by c4. How many people can look back on a twenty years span of such a masterful contribution to human culture? Without Mick Aston it will not be the same, but as such it will be a fitting tribute to a great forward thinking man. Some of them are dead, and the rest have moved on. From the fall of TT on the minuscule scale, to the fall of a Royal house; loss of a battle; collapse of an empire. I am a mega fan of the show. RIP Channel 4. I have watched Time Team over the years. I enjoyed Time Team and I will miss it Carenza and the later Helen Geake were the highlights for me there was always a sense of tension when you heard a shout of Tony not knowing what find theyd unearthed. His sharp, charming wit and fresh-faced boyish looks made him the prime target for the historical re-enactment spots on the show. archaeology..is what my 11 year old gran daughter is looking into training for..shows like these are needed more. Perhaps if Chanel 4 had stuck to the old adage of if it aint broke, dont fix it we would still have had this gem of a program to look forward to enjoying for many years to come.. with shows like Strictly Come Dancing, X Factor, Dancing on Ice, Big Brother etc etc etc all being aired every week, Time Team was an oasis of entertainment and education in a vast desert of mundane TV programming. I wish that ABC in Aus would start at the beginning and replay them all. This article is 10 years old but like a spoiler. Thank you,Mick, for all that you gave us.and thanks to Micks family for sharing him with us. Ace Custom: Phil Harding uses a personal shovel that he's modified to suit his needs. Time Team repeats on You Tube are helping to keep me sane during the Covid19 lockdown. Phil's appointment follows an extensive search and interviews with a very strong field of candidates. With Tony Robinson, Phil Harding, John Gater, Stewart Ainsworth. Channel 4 has lost one viewer it wont get back. What about the number of times they were wrong? Like Paul said (June 23 comment) you wished you could join them in the pub at the end for a beer . The Twitter page has been great up to now. TT is very fun to watch after nearly 30 years from the first episodes; watching the GeoPhysics change from season to season (week to week for me as I binge) is great for this engineer. It was just a ridiculous Channel 4 attempt to appeal to younger viewers, and failed dismally. I hate that its producers felt the need to change its face to meet the modern idea of glamour! Faced with the loss of a stalwart the production team then proceed to sideline the other star of the show Phil Harding for most of the airtime, and we get all that Chief Investigator nonsense, coupled with the bright young things who were the televisual equivolent of the black death for the programme. Time Team is shown in the U.S. on the History Channel as "History Explorer" or something like that. We hope that someone our there will take them under their wing and continue the shows its been great,you have shown us so much interesting archaeology of our past from all the corner;s of our beautiful planet,and its hard work doing all that digging and trying to preserve it for our future children. i say dont be too quick to make a stupid decision. Mick, Tony Phil, Carenza Lewis, etc bring it back as there are no current programs that come close. The team of Tony, Mick, Phil, Stuart, John, Carenza, Brigid, Guy, etc etc filled me with warmth and satisfaction. I watch time team on more 4 Brought up 3 kids on it. Carenza Lewis, Stewart Ainsworth, Helen Geake and geophys genius John Gater will all be returning and are excited about the new sites. We NEED Time Team. Thank you for educating and entertaining me over the years. Think again C4, as someone who is 40 years outside your target audience, all axing this program has done is make me switch channels, so demographically relevant or not you have simply lost another viewer and surely viewer numbers are more important than some misguided attempt to only appeal to a certain age group? We cannot wait to share this magic with you! Team Team gang were so funny with their understanding of each other and professional approach to their subject, their knowledge of it all and portrayal to the audience was so entertaining, and Tony added an open view to a usually flat subject, with his level headed approach to academics and gave it life. Ive learnt so much and enjoying every minuteo. It has become a staple in our family, even with the ABC running older series in high-rotation it beats the rest of the 6pm options hands down, even in repeat mode. I continue to be in awe of the fantastic skill and enthusiasm of the presenters.May TT be always available to us. For those people who wish to view old episodes back to day 1 surely all you need to do is put channel 4, possibly you may need to add UK.com, if overseas, into your search engine,register on line,confirm e mail address and then enter Time Team in the search box.You can even view Time Signs the original pilot series. Its put me very on edge not to know where Im up to and I think Channel 4 should be funding my medication for hypertension, blurred vision (tears I think) and severe withdrawal already before its ended. I bought a couple of the DVD sets and have just ordered a Phil Harding coffee mug from Wessex Archaeology to keep the memories alive. He appeared in an episode of BBC's Digging for Britain in December 2016. It returned online in 2022 for two episodes released on YouTube. Mick Aston was a great British eccentric; an atheist whose lifes work was medieval monasticism, an anarchist who for many decades loyally fulfilled the labyrinthine requirements of his university and British television, and a grumpy old curmudgeon with the kindest of hearts and a great capacity for friendship, he said. If you had to justify the value of television as a medium that can inform as well as entertain, Time Team would be the perfect example. 2017, My husband and I decided to get rid of our tv when we had 2 young sons. Led by the inspirational Professor Mick Aston and featuring immediately recognisable figures like Phil Harding and Tony Robinson, the show evaluated hundreds of sites over the course of 20 series, several live shows, and countless specials, helping hugely to popularise the field of archaeology before it finally drew to an end in 2013 (see CA 274). Explore books by Phil Harding with our selection at Waterstones.com. This did happen in fact, but the show kept going with Mick Aston and (Sir) Tony Robinson always at the helm. Im in my mid 40s. Such a fantastic guide, love it. Yes, the interest remains for the show. The easy familiarity between the people on the programs has been such a contrast to the egos and prima donna attitudes you see in so many other programs. []. Time Team RIP Veteran quits as Cambridge beauty joins TV's Time Team. I didnt always like the reenactments but it was interesting when they dealt with diet and medical issues. Yes, we all love the longtime archaelogists (sorry, cant do stars I would say they wouldnt like it either it is rather derogatory of their abilities!) Did you watch the episode of operation nightingale where the maimed ,psychologically injured soldiers from conflicts abroad found an inner peace and a feeling that they were no longer helpless in the world. Most days, I have been watching the TT repeats on More Four in the afternoons. Channel 4s loss their gain :) BRING BACK TIME TEAM PLEASE!!!! What better way of introducing archaeology to young people than for them to see it on a Sunday afternoon? My politics are not Tony Robinsons or Mick Astons, but both deserve warm congratulations for what they did for archaeology and viewers over two decades.Tony Robinson seems to be largely responsible for the successful populist formula, the zest and the humourand the succinct resumes to stop viewers getting flummoxed., He deserves a knighthood but presumably he would just wrinkle his nose. I wonder how much is wasted on their wages. All of the team can be proud of 20 years of quality television and the many lives touched and informed. Just did the same as Leigh trying to find out when the next series is due to start. What proved to be the fateful conversation took place in a Little Chef on the Okehampton bypass.

I would echo it completely. T-shirts, posters, stickers, home decor, and more, designed and sold by independent artists around the world. My 100year old mother started,me on T.T.years ago & in turn my children and now the grandchildren watch ,ask questions and research .

Were currently watching the last episodes, with the delightfully enthusiastic Francis Pryor, on ABC TV in Melbourne, and we love em, even if there arent always lots of finds. The lesson is that if you have a slightly faded masterpiece, dont try and touch it up with the aid of novices. So why could it not continue on and evolve in 2013 ? Because the major players were all quite old, and as you will have heard age is the surest antidote to youthful energy. So sad to see the demise of TT. NEVER.
