A monumental row and walk out, one would guess. time team is the best progamme on tv. I enjoyed all the archaeologists and presenter Tony Robinson. 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. Surely this cant really be the end?? I therefore conclude that the program is enjoyed by audiences of all ages. Just been reading all the comments, and a lot of sensible thinhs have been said, and a few stupid ignorant ones as well. It was not the first time that a chance conversation with Mick had got someone thinking about television archaeology. There was a youthful energy to them back them, which was part of the attraction. I have always wondered what happens to all the dirt that the Time Team dig out of their sites after the 3 days of digging? Yes TR can be intensely irritating at times, but as the years have gone by I think his appreciation of the experts has increased and they have learned skills from him about presentation. What am I going to do now knowing there isnt an unending stream of new TTs to feed my addiction? I hope its not the end of Time Team. I have watched Time Team from day one, and now my 11 and 9 year old daughters love to watch it, in fact my youngest commented she would like to be an archaeologist when she grows up, and this is from watching Time Team, I cannot believe Time Team has been axed, its a national institution. (all good things must come to an end). My wife and I are from the States and discovered Time Team on Amazon Prime after watching/ loving other British shows- Rick Steins culinary travels, Timothy Wests canal cruising, etc. We will miss his humour, his knowledge and his warmth. In 224 digs, Time Team revolutionised the presentation of archaeology on TV (which before had focussed largely on the Classical world), bringing Britain's heritage into our front rooms - and, in the early series, into our back gardens. A political gesture aimed at building up regional television, Time Team was picked because it seemed a safe pair of hands. It was my favourite show for many years and definitely, for me, left so many other scientifically accurate but boring-as-bat-poo documentaries in its dust. I think Tony is a good fit for this program. Shattered. Please, please would someone bring the show back, This is just another example of Managements old adage: Its perfect; lets New and Improve it Anyone who visited one of their digs while shooting was underway will have seen the devotion it inspired in members of the public. Time to leave! The team was supplemented by experts appropriate for the period and type of site. Whilst on holiday, I was very keen to spend a day or so, if possible, with the Time Team crew wherever they might be shooting. And the journey is not quite over yet. time team was one of the best progs ever. The beginnings of Time Team: season 1 stalwarts (from left to right) Mick Aston, Victor Ambrus, Phil Harding, Geraldine Barber, Carenza Lewis, Tony Robinson, and Robin Bush. Just discovered that this had been axed. I take my hat off to them. Alan Gale is 100% correct. Expertise honed over 15 years was lost at a stroke, to be replaced by crew and production staff who knew neither each other nor archaeology. my gosh, I am from Chula Vista Ca. Now, instead of honest archeology, we are going to be swamped with American hystorical programming, in which they assume we all have a 1 second attention span, need constant recaps (at least 4 per 10 minute part) and need it all (badly) acted out by ridiculous, cheap, and hugely inaccurate costumes, backgrounds and language. Totally gutted Time Team is going. The Team had a comradery like that of an elite military unit. Out of interest, Time Team fans, how many of you would be willing to pay directly to watch new programs? these idiots decide to change it.i hope they are happy boring peaple.please bring it back. The regular team also included: [6] Stewart Ainsworth, landscape investigator; John Gater and Chris Gaffney, archaeological geophysicists; Henry Chapman, surveyor; and Victor Ambrus, illustrator . It makes me chief superfan and supporter all armoury in our shared desire to inspire and stimulate interest in archaeology at all levels., Its great to be back! says Taylor. Come on BBC, take up where C4 left off PLEASE!! In 2005, Carenza Lewis left to pursue other interests. Looky tha! For me, as a genealogist, an episode really takes flight when, in addition to the dig, Robin Bush, or Guy D., or Carenza bring out a mediaeval charter, the Domesday Book, or the A.S. 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. Little surprise she became a history teacher. Although I partly agree with Geoff Stelling regarding both the departure of Mick and sidelining Phil somewhat, I do think that the young archaeologists in this the last series show a great deal of promise (Jimmy, Tracey, Susannah, for example) and we are being unfair to their input to be so critical. catty remarks what catty remarks it is like every other tv program if it is not a soap opera or so called reality tv it gets brushed aside ch4 is one big yawn if you dont agree just what else is worth the price of electricity. Promotion of family values good natured banter and above all a love of the past which TT has shared with us over the years is disposed of Shame, Shame, Shame. Self - Deya, Mallorca, Spain (1998) . I dont know. I am looking forward to the Village Dig series, when it eventually comes to the small screen. I feel sure we havent heard the last either. A former academic at Bristol and Oxford universities, he has worked tirelessly to bring archaeology to a wider audience. So sad to see the demise of TT. very sad day that channel 4 are taking time team off the air.when time team started my husband and watch the show and we were hooked from then on. I am watching repeats on Yesterday but hate the constant adverts. So we manage to get something enjoyable, which at the same time is also useful. I am very sorry to see it go. and I just came across the time team on my tablet in November 2019. Thank goodness there is a myriad of viewers who appreciate the achievement of Time Team. Long gone are the back garden digs. Some single episodes already . With a fantastic team backed by Keith Westcott and Martin Fiennes, local community support, the possibility of an ongoing legacy, and the guarantee of great archaeology, Broughton Castle ticks all the boxes!, Taylor continues: The Broughton villa promises to be one of the finest examples in Britain. I thoroughly enjoyed learning about the digs and finds discovered by the crew. Interested in keeping up to date with the latest archaeological finds across Britain? T.T. She joined the frontline team of presenters, for the 2006 series and continued until 2010. The thing that should be axed is the TV exec that made that decision. While I wont be involved in the new sites, I was delighted to accept the role of honorary patron of the Time Team project. The Twitter page has been great up to now. If there had been a mission statement for the show during those early days, it would have been the democratisation of archaeology. Regards Peter Mulready Australia. WHY? Great news that it is ending now we can have even more programs about yobs drinking abroad, crappy makeovers, the life of white van drivers and buying houses that cost 250,000 or more. Time Team repeats on You Tube are helping to keep me sane during the Covid19 lockdown. Self - Sanday, Orkney (1998) . RIP Mick Aston Time Team! All of the team can be proud of 20 years of quality television and the many lives touched and informed. Most of these posts hope that the Beeb could resurrect TT somehow, but AN ENORMOUS THANK YOU TO THE CAST AND CREW FOR THE FABULOUS YEARS THEY HAVE GIVEN US. Channel 4s loss their gain :) The roman barge in Utrect was particularly interesting and my son in Holland wished to see it. This has to be one of the biggest tragedies of modern television times. Whats wrong with cozy? I have scoured the Internet watching every episode I can find, some more than once. Start a letter writing campaign to bring it back. Ive learnt so much and enjoying every minuteo. There are many pagan archeologists too. In between programmes, E4 these days uses short clips of things like hillwalking and narrow boats to ridicule the interests of old people. Its amazing. Well said, Paul! What a bunch of idiots. 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. How come journalists never seem to tell us these sorts of things? 100% Upvoted. Time Team was the best program I have ever seen or hope to see. With Tony Robinson, Stewart Ainsworth, Victor Ambrus, Mick Aston. I cannot believe that Mick Aston has died, so very young, I thought he would go on forever. Ok BBC4, its time for you to take Time Team. What better way of introducing archaeology to young people than for them to see it on a Sunday afternoon? Much as I still love watching them (though, annoyingly, More 4 often shows the same programme a week later), I can hardly bear to think there will be no more new ones. The Isle of Mull episode in season 17 is a great example of what could be discovered. and have watched it since the begining. SAVE TIME TEAM, Closing in on 4,000 signatures already: http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/time-team-should-continue-on-tv.html, Hey guys just a quick update of a Article we have got up promoting the SAVE TIME TEAM Campaign. It is that dull and droll science of Archeology, which when one attends a lecture on the subject, or a program on television normally results in boredom, numbness, squirming, or easy sleep. Am now in the process of buying the DVDs. The UK is lucky that it has such a long history. So so sad, the only one of its kind and they axe it. Please read. report. Im not proud of Time Team, it hasnt worked.. He joined the Royal Commission on the Historical Monuments of England (now part of English Heritage) in 1985, and is now head of its Landscape Investigation Team based in York, England. youtu.be/rlKmrT. What on earth is going on and who is in charge of these moronic decisions! That has gone now, so im going to just have to watch all the reruns on Discovery history ( and there are quite a few of them) and be happy. Channel Four seem to be missing a trick that gthe BBC would have undoubtedly have profited from by issuing DVDs of the most important digs over the years. I wonder whether the viewing figures took in the worldwide audience I know lots of people watched and enjoyed it here in Australia. I am appalled. Southern Gaulish Samian ware, or Green Glaze, 14th Century. Observing how so many, different, recondite specialty fields come together paleopalynography. It is just so sad to read all of these comments, like a requiem for a friend. We are saddened to hear that a great T.V show which entertained and informed is being axed. I speculate that Mr Bushs rant is based upon nothing more than jealousy over the fact that Mr Harding has obviously learned one more word than him whilst digging those big holes! Its a shame yet highlights the offensively patronizing view metro-based TV people have of the general public. We cannot wait to share this magic with you! Inspiring stuff. Youve said it all, I totally agree! Its prototype was Timesigns, a four-part series that aired in 1991. It was broadcast over TVO Toronto Canada. Is Phil Harding a Phd? Mick, and Phil, and even Tony all made a significant contribution to our understanding archaeology and they way in which it can inform us of our past. My nineteen year old daughter has always been passionate about having a career in archaeology even more so now. Yes, really hope so! 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. The Aussie fans are disappointed too that T T will be finishing up. Whilst on youtube, also check out dig ventures; another fantastic project with another familiar face. An audience study in 2006 indicated that 20 million people watched at least one show that year. My parents watch it. Their participation and enthusiasm clear for all to see. Joining you at your virtual pyre and raising a glass to Mick Aston! But maybe it is time and we need to move on. And the team. I am an ex water board worker and I still don t know where they obtained the patience to go into a hole in the ground and dig with a trowel. I was surfing the internet to obtain correct titles for some episodes that I recorded earlier. It encouraged me to study the Neolithic, Bronze and Iron Ages. I dont think a Presenter is supposed to be a devils advocate. (But not, ever, I would agree, grinning totty!) if there is a petition please let me know.i would like to put our names down. In most places over here there are literally hundreds of channels with endless variety. Love the show and all the characters especially Phil! Quod erat demonstrandum. Brilliant. After playing a critical role in many of Time Team's digs, from the caves of Cheddar to the jungles of Nevis, Mick . 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. yours MRS HILDA LESLEY CARRINGTON. Not me, says Arlene Phillips, To hell with beige stretch trousers - while you've got it, flaunt it: Pamela Stephenson on dressing like a woman half her age, King Charles hosts von der Leyen at Windsor Castle, Police: Urgent search for Constance Marten's missing baby, Shocking video shows machete fight in broad daylight, Putin spy plane before being 'destroyed by pro-Ukraine Belarus group', Gabor Mat: No Jewish state without oppressing local population, Amplified jet stream could lead to 'disruptive snow in places', Pupils take to TikTok as they stage protest at Shenfield High School, Putin orders intelligence service to find 'scum' who oppose him, Moment supermarket cashier is attacked at work in New York, Police search allotment sheds for Constance Marten's missing baby, Huge urgent police search for missing baby of Constance Marten, Dashcam captures moment two cars collide on a roundabout. I learn so much. Having said that, I hope this means Time Team DVDs will now be more available to those of us in the US who adore the show. Do specials instead of a series. i never knew the show existed until last year 2021. any chance for reunions and a chance to interact as like conventions do here in the usa? Wouldnt it be lovely if all teams could be like the Time Team? Screening 13 episodes a year, as well as live digs and specials the programme was ubiquitous. It should have stayed like that and people would have carried on watching. They included a new presenter to join Tony Robinson and decisions to drop some archaeologists and cut down the informative stuff about the archaeology. I found her to be frightening and tedious at the same time, and to this day I fast forward through the segments where she is featured. This informative, interesting program has long been a favourite amongst all ages of our family. there must be a law t Time Team went out of fashion because the rest of us got sick of being patronised by Tony Robinson, who seemed incapable of letting an entire episode pass without a snide comment or a sermon about man-made global warming. In mid October 2012 an all-points bulletin was emailed to Time Team staff. While I mourn the loss of Time Team, I think its death is a natural, organic thing that was simply going to happen sooner or later. We always joke about that, but I think its indicative of how people understand archaeology is a process. Thank God for my Saturday morning lie-in watching four episodes in a row on More 4. There is more than enough rubbish shown on tv so why axe a good item that entertains, explains and raises more questions. 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. CHANNEL 4, YOU ARE A COMPLETE BUNCH OF IDIOTS!!!. The comment by Peter Thomas is excellent and is a very eloquent summation. He has worked on a number of archaeological sites in Britain and abroad. Thank you for educating and entertaining me over the years. I thought Channel Four was supposed to be a cultural channel appealing to grown ups, yet the dire Big Brother has been inflicted on us for over ten years along with other ephemeral rubbish. Royal Commission on the Historical Monuments of England, Imagine spending an entire weekend with Time Team's Stewart Ainsworth Learning How to Decode the Landscape, https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Stewart_Ainsworth&oldid=1140539218, People of the Royal Commission on the Historical Monuments of England, Short description is different from Wikidata, Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License 3.0, This page was last edited on 20 February 2023, at 15:01. xx. I have only recently discovered TT and am currently watching 4 episodes a day, courtesy of More 4 and Discovery History channels, and am utterly devastated to learn that it has been axed. Not that I want to live there though am quite happy to be an Australian. Not a surprise really when you consider the presence of the suits through all the times that Time Team and others have explored and documented. i have seen every episode of time team and ive never seen him mention anything like that other than one time, so you are a complete moron and need to look up what the word patronize means since i am now patronizing you. All the best shows are taken off and all we are left with is the boring and so untrue Archers. Real shame its leaving our screens but it did give us so many hours of pleasure along with the odd glimpse of a young Alice Roberts and the occasional grumpiness of Mick. And key graphic purporting to show the significant shift in building alignments between two phases did not actually do that but simply repeated the original layout! I assume it will be more imported American rubbish or so called comedy. I still watch the series on U-tube. As a Aussie viewer addicted to Time Team (even if we do seem to get more repeats than would seem necessary) I am amazed that this program has been axed. i believe everything has a lifespan, and that must include television shows. TT was an utter revelation. In my mind, one of the contributing factors to the programmes demise, were the increasing number of digs being done on behalf of professional bodies such as English Heritage, and local authorities. , Cant we have Phil once a week digging a hole in a pub garden, please?xxxx. We have several equally exciting sites lined up that we hope to investigate with support from our fans on Patreon., Already Patreon supporters have rallied behind another fantastic site a mysterious Iron Age settlement with underground passages in Cornwall. I loved the camaraderie.. the discoveries.. the wonderful feeling of how people not only survived in early times..but were every bit as capable and inventive as WE think we are ! A few years earlier Tony Robinson had joined a trip Mick was leading to Santorini as part of his adult education work for Bristol University. I now look forward to watching as many individual shows as I can in the future. And of course who can ever forget Helen Geakes dress sense and haircuts ! Such a shame a beautiful show as this is axed and they show such dribble as reality tv shows blah yuk. Some episodes Ive seen over three times each. Back in the olden days(late 70s) I was accused of being an anglophile by the University of New Mexico professor who was trying to recruit me, an English Major, into his new American Studies department. I enjoyed the later seasons in HD quality quite a lot, and I wish they would keep going for 20 more years. paleo-osteology, finds experts, experts in the Bronze Age or Rome I am as raptured as Phil squatting in a newly opened trench exclaiming, Oooh! I agree with Brian, a petition might make Ch4 sit up and realise that we, the viewers, have got brains and like to watch programs with interesting and informative content. We only recently discovered the Time Team show and rush to ensure we dont miss a show. One only has to consider the creative arc of Channel Four itself, to have noticed that its a shadow of what it set out to be and frankly, those who run it now should be ashamed of themselves, relieved from duty, and prevented from working in TV ever again. There is nothing else like it on TV. 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. There was a youthful energy to them back them, which was part of the attraction. In fact, I actually struggle to watch any anyway, as I made clear at the beginning the post production is irritating. Tapped into the national zeitgeist, its stars were household names and at its zenith Time Team was pulling in audiences of 3 3.5 million viewers. Six years after the last 'three days dig' was aired, the series is unstoppably popular on youtube. and Im so grateful to all the Time Team members for a wonderful 20 seasons. I am still quite happy to watch repeats on Sky. A brilliant series has been lost to the older viewer. Whats on at this afternoon? Carenzas missing as is Helen, I see Mick walked out as I also presume Stewart has too. I want Time Team brought back. And, unlike Phil and Mick, one didnt long to give her a haircut!! [] One of best, very passionate three part on geology of Great Britain was filmed with Mr Tony Robinson who is/was excellent presenter. Weve also done the landscapes around them, so if you want additional information then the Time Team reports contain that.. Stewart Ainsworth (born 26 June 1951) is a British archaeological investigator who was regularly seen on Time Team, the Channel 4 archaeological television series. Thank you,Mick, for all that you gave us.and thanks to Micks family for sharing him with us. Oh Dear. It enabled a local group to secure Historic Lottery Fund money to dig the site. Yes I agree I miss fresh episode aswell please come back, Yes I agree, the quality of weekend television is terrible give us back some interesting programs, Still record and watch the show love it all I can say is Bring back Time Team. Thank you all for giving us years of delight and thank God for DVDs. Sounds ageism to me, isnt that against the law now? The villa is a tantalising prospect a grand building almost as big as Buckingham Palace. The team are irreplaceable, such a huge whole left in life once the program ended. 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. I have watched Time Team from the beginning and love the earlier episodes and although its sad that its going it has changed considerably.Not the same without Mick his enthusiasm makes for great watching. Sad to hear the show is coming to an end but hopefully repeat episodes will frequent our screens for a long time to come. How will I live? This is in no doubt as a direct result of the post production. His Uncle, my brother, has to dig up a dig with him when he comes on holiday and he is in there like a professional. What is wrong with older viewers? The only thing that surprises me is that they didnt include a so called comedian. Many bad decisions for all the wrong reasons. I have been binge watching on YouTube whilst laid up with a medical issue. If Channel Four thinks TT too expensive there is mileage in the Return To format for some digs showing some of the original programmes and then updating on subsequent research. BRING IT BACK. Rather than targeting the palaces and castles of the rich and famous, individual episodes modestly sought to solve simple, local questions. Shades of the quiz-show concept do survive into early episodes of Time Team proper. I hugely regret the demise of the series and sincerely hope that it will resume or that a similar, archaeology-based series will take its place. All the members of the team are keen to promote archaeology, I once witnessed Phil Harding rushing from trench to trench when TT were in York, stopping, turning off his radio and spending time talking to some enthusiastic kids about what he was doing, how he was doing it and why, the kids were transfixed by his enthusiasm, his ability to communicate his subject at many different levels being an inspiring sight. My idea of heaven, sitting in pub day 1, discussing what has/has not been found, what may/may not be found, Phil looking for flint, Mick not wanting Roman, Carenza keeping the peace, John anxious about the ploughed geophys, Tony querying the tentative theories, and Stuart saying its the wrong place! very sad. My wife was not well for several years & she found Time Team to be one of the few programs worth watching. Much has been said about this show on this site but I think that all of you would be best served by reading what Raksha had to say. RIP Time Team. It is to the Channels credit that it did this despite much of that outlay being channelled into post-excavation work that never appeared onscreen. We will suffer forever without the seasonal hours of archaeology, in all its forms. Sir Tony Robinson, who is an honorary patron, says: I was delighted to hear about the plans for the next chapter in Time Teams story. The huge plus for archaeology in general has been the raising of the profile of a branch of science that prior to this program was the province of a fairly small group of people. He has worked on a number of archaeological sites in Britain and abroad. Hear, hear! I think weve brought it into the forefront of peoples attention. (3 different history channels, Discovery channel, Travel channel, Military channel, National Geographic channel the list goes on and on. Time Team - Mick Aston (1946-2013) Mick Aston (1946-2013) Archaeological Consultant Professor Michael Antony 'Mick' Aston was Time Team's much-loved Archaeological Consultant. Because of Time Team I now want to become an archeologist. I have watched the episode from Barra several times. What will Ch4 spend its money on now, even more American imports? Enjoyed Tony and the whole crew, felt like u were part of the dig and part of the crew, they were all like family. There are DVDs, some available on Amazon uk. But would be top stuff if BBC 4 could pick it up and get things back on track. R.I.P. What can replace the jovial banter of all the dedicated team that gave us an insight to what was going on thousands of years ago. Although Channel 4 is due the recognition it deserves for its faith and investment in archaeology over the years its decisions over the last couple of years will be a media studies case study How to destroy a successful programme and alienate millions of viewers. He has since appeared in over two hundred episodes. archaeology..is what my 11 year old gran daughter is looking into training for..shows like these are needed more. Bringing in that awful woman for the last series was the straw that broke the camels back. A viewers petition is probably the most difficult to achieve. They almost succeeded in ruining it until this present series.Channel 4 have betrayed the cast, crew and viewers. I hate that its producers felt the need to change its face to meet the modern idea of glamour! of Tonys and Phils hair. It is a great shame it is finishing and I am very sad!! Can anyone help us with the contact? I recommend Current Archaeology to young and old as a way of covering all eras and defining ones particular interests in the subject. (a bit of eye candy maybe if your of that age) Sad to see this very good program going down the pan. Just heard about the axing of Time Team what a shame! Fortunately, it wasnt. WellRay Watters has voiced my opinions exactlywatched every show many timeslearnt a vast amountlaughed aloudcried for Robin Bush.visited many siteswatched live digs on the internetfavourite themes are Saxon/Medievil so the latest episode at Oakham was superbWhat can we doCan we get our own website or freeview channel or satelite channelTHE TIME TEAM CHANNELwowendless repeats and a vast back catalougei have every episode on a hard drivedont tellsssshhhh.I would be very happy to subscribei am currently paying over 20 a month for Sky Sports and only watch it about 5 times a weekPlease let me know what you think and lets hear which are your favouritesmine is Hartlepool as this is where i am and my mother was born on the site of the Ancient AbbeyHeres hoping. 20 years is a long time in television. That is, the irritating new team members, the irritating clanging noise when Tony narrates and the increasingly less time spent in the trenches. if only someone could afford too get all thecast back and go on channel 2 or 5 any ware but not on 4 .. who ever made up there minds to get rid off TT I HOPE there bosses can see the error they are makeing.very sad to see it go. . Will there ever be a time when I wouldnt watch Time Team repeats? I was just looking for where any dig sites would be this year and discovered the program was being axed! A relative alerted us to Time Team knowing.my husband and I were long term enthusiasts. Nothing lasts forever, including Time Team. It is located on the Broughton Estate in Oxfordshire, belonging to the Fiennes family. Less time looking at the scrapping away of mud from a piece of skull. Apart from the marvellous people who made up the Time Team over the years, the way they used the magic of television to highlight features of the dig, overlay geophys visualisations onto the site, extend a fragment of a pot into a full representation, and so on, made this program an exemplar of how to produce truly educational television; and the way the passion of the Team members and their expertise was allowed to shine, coupled with a witty front man, showed that educational does not have to mean dull or dumbed down.
