Lytham St Annes. 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. i never knew this show was available as the colonies never mentioned it. Cliche good looking, middle-class presenters who appear somewhat dull in enthusiasm. WHY? Brought up 3 kids on it. It was an intelligent, thought provoking, and entertaining program. And the team. This is true Reallity Television. What a great detective. Even after its star began to wane Time Team remained popular. It is amazing to contemplate the staggering amount of archaeology lurking beneath the surface of the whole of the British Isles. 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. Have to admit they are probably the main reason I now spend a lot of my spare time out on the Thames foreshore with the Thames Discovery Programme- enjoying it hugely, and probably have them to thank, they showed us that anyone can get involved. With the archaeologists at the height of their game, by now the team was so confident of the three-day regime that development producer Jim Mower describes their appearance on site as like getting the A Team in. Fortunately, it wasnt. Judged a misfire by Channel 4, it could have been the end. My eldest son is now 19 and guess what he is studying at University (say no more) thank you Time Team. All I can tell u is that I was hooked. Far too many highlights to choose a favourite, but Ill always have a soft spot for the tone of Tony Robinsons voice when he explained that the sash-cum-swordbelt worn by Saxon fighters was called a baldric. Try Dig Ventures, an online crowd-funded Archaeology site. I am one of the over 40s over 60 in fact. 32. !I have just retired and it would be perfect NOW. Sunday afternoons will never be the same, a wonderful programme. Why cant these so-called clever people just leave things alone. No, I didnt ever notice that, was I watching the right show? RIP Time Team. What about the good time team has done? At least we can watch past programmes on More 4 on on the On Demand. Obviously I am not the only Australian (albeit English-born) to miss Time Team. My wife was not well for several years & she found Time Team to be one of the few programs worth watching. It was responsible for me going on a dig and having a great time. The result was a previously unknown 5th-century monastic enclosure linked to St Columba. The show ran on the chemistry among the original team, and failed to work as they left or lost interest. I cant believe how much I have learned during Covid lock down because of Time Team. Save Time Team Campaign is taking off really fast now, over 1,500 signatures & support from celebrity. If this were a BBC programme, then this alone would be worth the license fee. Sounds like a bargain to me, how much do the BBC spend on the series presented by David Attenborough? Ridiculous. 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. In 2003, I joined the amateur Biggar Archaeology Group which, among other achievements, discovered the oldest known archaeological site in Scotland. 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. Maybe the BBC can resurrect this show. I THINK THIS IS A SHOCKING DECISION AND CAN ONLY HOPE THAT IT IS REVERSED!!! Gutted that Time Team has ended! Stewart Ainsworth FSA (born 26 June 1951) is a British archaeological investigator who is regularly seen on Time Team the Channel 4 archaeological television series he joined in 1995. I had to think about it before I realized what he meant. Sorry I dont know how to do this! Without time team on the television the world of tv is going to be a poorer place. Cheers. I agree entirely. To me time team brought all facets of history alive to the ordinary person. What on earth is going on and who is in charge of these moronic decisions! Please bring back Time Team with Tony Robinson. He only lives about 10 miles away. There is a huge following in Australia and after the debacle with the producers bringing in you know who as a co-presenter (of cleavage), the show started its slow path to division. Indeed, the only affectation on Time Team was Micks famous stripy jumper. Envelopes hidden at strategic points would set challenges along the lines of find the Medieval high street in two hours. With regards to a few folks comments about Tony Robinson. I have just realised that time team is to be axed by c4. I agree Shiela, a long read but entertaining, and an indication of TTs popularity. Official website also launched: http://www.TimeTeamFans.com Thanks everyone. Surely, the way forward would have been to dig deeper into the technical aspects of the archaeology and to speak to the intelligent audience that made the program in the first place whether the sites themselves or the techniques being employed. Found Time Team on You Tube. Discovered Time Team after visiting U.K. I could have watched it for another 20 years. Without any doubt whatsoever Time Team was the best show on TV and a giant amongst the crappy stuff we have to put up with these days such as reality TV shows. There are only about a thousand signatures so far.Personally, although I have signed, I dont think it will do much good. time team r.i.p. Envisioned as a quiz show in the vein of Challenge Anneka running on BBC 1 from 1989 to 1995 the team were called on to solve archaeological mysteries while racing against the clock. , Totally agree have enjoyed this programme since it started. Lee. With Channel 4 keen to attract more supposedly affluent viewers in their 20s and 30s, season 19 also tinkered with the format. I am very sorry to see it go. And so agree with all here who say that C4 is very sadly dumbed down from its early days and mission. time team was one of the best progs ever. I always made sure be there watching when it was on. Mary Ann Ochota qualified or not added nothing substantive unless the viewer was starved for gratuitous cleavage shots and huge white beaverish teeth. Take up the mantel!! Dont think that the U.K. has the monopoly on scrapping popular shows it happens here in N.Z. It will be sorely missed. I enjoyed all the archaeologists and presenter Tony Robinson. My grandson is a budding archeologist and watches it over and over again. Mick the Dig joined Time Team early on as our resident excavation supervisor and was personally responsible for Time Team's biggest ever hole - at Blaenavon, Wales (an honour that looks unlikely to be beaten any time soon!). With its awkwardly embarassing reality programming and multitude of dream come true talent shows American television is NOTHING to emulate. Always will be in my heart! Geake with Stewart Ainsworth while filming an episode of Time Team in 2007 She first worked for Time Team in 1998 as a digger, and took part occasionally thereafter as an Anglo-Saxon specialist. People who had their gardens dug up were very brave once Phil got digging, were their gardens reland scaped. Such mass-production was only possible with more rigorous processes guiding filming. Above all we learned something new in each programme , not the usual rehashed information served up in other one -off programmes on popular periods. What a lot we learned. That executive was not recruited from the intellectual highbrow Channel 5 was he? The foregoing is an exhausting but entertaining read. Such a great programme. With Mick in his amazing technicolor jumpers playing father and patient teacher, fielding Tonys laymans questions, Phil as the eccentric uncle who could dig with the instincts of a terrier after a bone, John and his whiz-bang geo-phys, and all the other children hard at work in their specialties, the programme wasnt merely TIME TEAM it was TIME FAMILY. Perhaps the BBC could take over where Channel 4 has failed and get back to grass roots like in series 4-6. I guess it was always going to happen when TV administrators who, judging by the few Ive seen interviewed, are challenged by words of more than two syllables come into contact with educated professionals. In this months Science Notes, we will explore the evidence for this hypothesis, and examine how violence-related injuries are distinguished in archaeological human remains. Struck by how much could be learnt in a few hours, Tim wondered what could be achieved in a few days. He is president of the Friends of Epiacum, also known as Whitley Castle, the Roman fort on the southern edge of Northumberland which he has surveyed and studied in depth. Like you, I find nothing more pleasant than to end a hard day in a Free House with a cold one and a good conversation. Time team is currently repeated on more-4 each midweek day and sometimes Saturdays, but I still miss fresh episodes and the original presenters and everyone should put pressure on c4 for more episodes even if it were one a month ! Time Team brought so much into my life, being bed ridden, television being a large part of my life now. I was digging my veg patch yesterday and I found a napped piece of flint. What screwed up Time Time was poor scheduling two years ago and an attempt to sex up the show and this failed miserably. How will I live? Very disappointing. If I were an enterprising producer on another channel, I would start a new series that build on the fascinating skills of Stuart A. Now the format was safely established the programme was increasingly able to capitalise on its fame and access big name sites ultimately even Buckingham Palace. Big Thanks Time Team,will never get tired of watching the shows,fingers crossed you can make some more. Is there any posibility of obtaining a copy of this and the program on the barge in the river Rhine. TV & life not the same as early 1990s but I think the format is still sound (just dont turn it into on old OU prog). An absolute feast of mind, interest and the ever curiosity of young and old alike about What lie underneath that humble plot of soil?.TIme Team approached that humble plot we would all like to delve into.they bring that knowledge of how with them and together unveal little glimspes of anothers past which we back bring here, to today.as a reflection and connection.like a mirror between centuries and timesand sunrises and pleasant breezes of a long ago Sunday afternoon, I thought it was the Bi..o presenter the doomed it for sure, brought in because we are all suddenly dumb. why change what works well and T T did work well . Victor Ambrus peerless ability to bring the past to life on the fly, for example, was harnassed after his artwork caught Tim Taylors eye in Readers Digest. what fools these youngsters are. Unfortunately my DVD recording did not work. I so agree. It seems there was no need for one before Womens Studies and all those other nonwhite studies. Twelve months on and I still miss it. Tony R told us that the fort was not connected by road What???? Now we are nearing the end of Series XX I feel a tinge of sadness that a programme which both educates and informs will be with us no more. The last series was disappointing without Helen and Stuart who were replaced by people without half their expertise.
