Twelve months on and I still miss it. 20+ years is a remarkable feat for a television program, and this isnt Dr. Who either. Long gone are the back garden digs. Is there any posibility of obtaining a copy of this and the program on the barge in the river Rhine. Prof Mick, great bloke and always so calm, Carensa made a lot of episodes more entertaining and TR a god of comedy and history. We totally agree with Nick Robinson, we too will be enjoying repeats and cursing Channel 4!. Mary-Ann Ochota caused the Time Teams slow demise as she and the behind the scene executives strangled a Team that had worked played and laughed together over so many years making not good but great viewing. 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. It is located on the Broughton Estate in Oxfordshire, belonging to the Fiennes family. All I can tell u is that I was hooked. I thought the 2013 series was an improvement on the 2012 series, but tonights episode was disappointing. Phew! As of 2010 Ainsworth has been affiliated with the History and Archaeology department at the University of Chester, where he is a visiting professor. With its awkwardly embarassing reality programming and multitude of dream come true talent shows American television is NOTHING to emulate. Really gutted TT has finished, and shame on Channel 4 for this decision! It has taught and shown me so much, I have a wonderful interest in archaeology thanks to this show, and loved hearing and seeing our past. It would be remiss of me not to mention that I was so sorry to read of the passing of Mick Aston. Im 77 and was taught English history at boarding school, but Time Team has made it come alive and with so much meaning. A number of archaeological old hands were sacrificed in favour of more youthful presenters. I have not been watching the show for very long because it was not aired in the US as far as I know. Take up the mantel!! The key participants deserve a rest at their age, and the joy obviously just wasnt there. Ive learnt so much and enjoying every minuteo. 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. I started watching TT in 1998 (2 years after leaving school) and it showed that history can be not only interesting but also fun. Biggest mistake ever! Thank you for educating and entertaining me over the years. John and his team must have walked miles. I will miss TT more than any other show I have ever watched and Im extremely disappointed that C4 have decided to axe a show that brought History into the hearts of so many people. But Channel 4 has dumb it down, the last episode i watched was at Henham Park down the road from me, They found out nothing that wasnt local knowledge already. I was devastated to hear of the demise of this wonderful programme, but once they made the decision to bring in the awful Mary Ann Ochota as a co-presenter, the programme was doomed. Gutted that Time Team has ended! In fact, I actually struggle to watch any anyway, as I made clear at the beginning the post production is irritating. . That doesnt work in the US. He said: The time had come to leave. And if you do, please include the adorable and hilarious Raksha Dave, dear Francis Pryor and Stewart Ainsworth, all of whom have places near and dear to my heart. The onscreen introduction of team members and their specialist skills was a hangover from a time when participants would have varied from week to week, rather than coalescing into a core group. and I just came across the time team on my tablet in November 2019. Thanks Guys! 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. My own thoughts are this, why should we allow channel 4 to take this away from us, are the Team ready to call it a day or do they feel like me that there are another thousand potential sites out there to dig. Emails,from those who have just learned that TT was cancelled a year ago are still dropping into my in box. 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. Leave it to an insular management team to screw it up. He completed his undergraduate and Master's degrees at the Institute of Archaeology, University College London before embarking on a career in commercial archaeology. Now I have no reason what ever to watch ch 4 now or in the future . You should be ashamed of yourselves, especially the way you have treated Mick Aston after all those years of dedicated service. While filming Timesigns, Tim and Mick regularly discussed other ways to bring archaeology to a television audience. Alarm bells began to ring for us when Mary-Anne appeared it seemed to coincide with a dumbing-down of the show. Their intention is to uncover the remains of a number of plantation houses that now are no more than ruins. (a bit of eye candy maybe if your of that age) Sad to see this very good program going down the pan. We now need a new champion of archaeology at a time when budget cuts in public service have resulted in the shedding of many jobs in the profession and the threats from a new phase of building construction looming large. Do 5 day digs instead. Geophysics gives you that instant picture you can then evaluate. Not a Tony Robinson fan myself but he is part of the show. He was an inspiration to me and to so many others. They were digging Roman ruins in someones back garden and explaining in detail what they were doing and what it told them hooked then and there. Im not proud of Time Team, it hasnt worked.. Channel 4s choices are definitely a bit strange to many of us. 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. Margie, NZ A great series, I still watch old repeats and will enjoy them for a long time. Do specials instead of a series. if thereis any justice in the world they shoud change there minds.TONY MICK PHIL STEWART JOHN MAT RAKSHA BRIGID CARENZA TO MENTION a few. What a shame to see it go, but what a swan song. It brings together entire families and to my mind, is of huge importance, in that it makes us aware of who we are and where we came from and the way it was presented to us was magical. I watch Time Team on Amazon Prime here in Phoenix, AZ USA every day!! I often wish you could all come to my back yard 1 acre) and help me find the many many pairs of secateurs buried therein. now I rely on repeats. I know real archaeologists are dismissive of Time Team but I loved it. Hopefully it will be picked up by another channel. Speak for your self! RIP Time Team. , Totally agree have enjoyed this programme since it started. I had no idea it had finished. Being well aired on the Yesterday TV Channel Monday to Friday throughout the day, Time team proved that nothing I is really lost it us just covered up soil sand and water 3 cheers for the team ron atkinson. While I wont be involved in the new sites, I was delighted to accept the role of honorary patron of the Time Team project. Research digs usually ran for weeks if not months, and it was questioned whether anything approaching responsible archaeology could be achieved in a mere three days. I am off to channel four to ask them what is wrong with audiences that are over 40, 50 or even 60, what is wrong with older peoples programmes? I have watched Time Team for years as has my son and many many friends. I have watched every episode from season 1, some many times. and have watched it since the begining. Click Manage settings for more information and to manage your choices. 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. I am thrilled that TT is returning in 2022, but saddened that Phil, Raksha and Tony will not be participating. I would be very happy, if it was revived. The thing that should be axed is the TV exec that made that decision. This was a fresh ongoing series with a warm and positive vibe, an interesting treat on TV. 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. And lets be honest, it doesnt get any better than watching absolutely great British television presented by the all time best supporting TV character, Baldrick. The producers screwed it with the inevitable dumbing down and trying to make it a show for the 20 to 30 year olds. 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. Tamara Cohen for the Daily Mail Yes, really hope so! Ive loved Time Team since day one, but recently Ive found it becoming a little too cozy. What proved to be the fateful conversation took place in a Little Chef on the Okehampton bypass. Time Team repeats on You Tube are helping to keep me sane during the Covid19 lockdown. Time Team first appeared on British television in early 1994, lasting two whole decades until it was cancelled in 2014. . Bravo to your remaks. I read a number of the same comments over and over here, and some are quite valid. His technique fostered a sense of immediacy for viewers, placing them on the trench edge when discoveries happened and making them privy to key discussions. Big Thanks Time Team,will never get tired of watching the shows,fingers crossed you can make some more. 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 ! You were apparently watching a different show than we were. Mick, can I come work for you? 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. As others have said, lets hope that the B.B.C. I would just like to thank Tony Robinson, Mick Aston, Phil Harding and all of the crew at Time Team for many years of fascinating TV. We are aiming to reach our target of at least 5,000 patrons by the end of March and well then be in position to dig at least one other site the Iron Age settlement this year and carry out preliminary research on others., Our goal is to create a legacy for these sites, says Taylor, building ongoing relationships with local communities and archaeologists that continue to yield fresh insights. I owe a debt of gratitude to the wonderful Time Team ensemble. And the journey is not quite over yet. And the team. Available to view on 4oD (www.channel4.com/programmes/timesigns/4oD), watching it now provides a salutatory lesson in just how revolutionary the Time Team format was. 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. After graduation she did some modelling, including shoots for Special K. She was the anthropologist on the BBCs Castaway Exposed and has presented a number of other programmes using her expertise. My absolute favorite TV program! 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. He asks the questions that some people must be sat in front of their TV asking. There is nothing else like it on TV. 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. When I signed there were 1,600 names. TT was an utter revelation. Rather than targeting the palaces and castles of the rich and famous, individual episodes modestly sought to solve simple, local questions. 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. Your contribution to TV and Archeology is now history itself! John Gater, Francis Pryor, Stewart Ainsworth, and Phil Harding. 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. Its a shame we didnt see you and the team doing more international locations. That is, the irritating new team members, the irritating clanging noise when Tony narrates and the increasingly less time spent in the trenches. BBC4 seems to have picked up the baton, thank goodness.!! (Then, of course, it goes straight to Hell). Shades of the quiz-show concept do survive into early episodes of Time Team proper. It may not have been archaelogical perfection but it did make archaeology appealing to many and did digs that no one had the funds or interest to do. So thank you TT, you helped rekindle my interest in history and if Id been 40 years younger you would probably have been instrumental in a career change! Cutting some excellent TV and radio presenters in favor of younger ones. Little surprise she became a history teacher. Re-assemble the team ! I WONDER what rubbish they will put on instead. We only recently discovered the Time Team show and rush to ensure we dont miss a show. It was Stewart who discovered the true route of the Roman road as it went through Greenwich Park. Time Team! I cannot think why! I love Time Team and regularly binge watch have seen many episodes several times. I rue the fact that as a child we used encyclopaedias 20 years out of date. Sad days. Started watching British TV while on exchange with the RAF. I now look forward to watching as many individual shows as I can in the future. Cliche good looking, middle-class presenters who appear somewhat dull in enthusiasm. . Most of what I feel about the demise of TT has already been said here. Tony used the rest of the Teams expertise to bring to life what was often regarded as a crusty subject before Time Teams arrival. I so agree. I ask other time team regulars get writing and see if time team can be saved either by another tv station or a rethink by channel 4. , updated Information about your device and internet connection, like your IP address, Browsing and search activity while using Yahoo websites and apps. Though Professor Aston appears with the new recruits in the current series, he will not join the 20th series, which starts filming in April and is due to be shown this year. [] One of best, very passionate three part on geology of Great Britain was filmed with Mr Tony Robinson who is/was excellent presenter. along with Mick Aston, Robin Bush & Beric Morley. If Id been younger when the programme first started I would have loved to have studied archaeology to work in such a fascinating area, I had little knowledge of or interest in archaeology before. Also, a Presenter is not supposed to insult the experts he is reporting on. WHY? When he took this pitch to various studios, however, no one wanted to know. My youngest is 10 and has been a fan from as early as I can remember, he has his own dig at the bottom of our garden and a massive fossil collection. Some of the regulars have retired, some have moved on to other things, a few have departed for Tr nan g or the Field of Reeds. Enjoyed Tony and the whole crew, felt like u were part of the dig and part of the crew, they were all like family. I loved it and speaking as an Hibernian, the only thing I found mildly irritating was Tonys obsession with all things Roman. He has since appeared in over two hundred episodes. And now our children and grandchildren watch the programme but not for long now. Its sad to see another worthwhile educational program going by the wayside. Surely this cant really be the end?? When Time Team came along, I got absolutely hooked on it. Close. TT changed how history programmes are made for UK TV for ever. R.i.P. If Tim Taylor or anyone at Channel 4 ever got the itch in their pants to dig it all up again (pun intended) it would be so awesome. 20 years of viewing no extra costs Faye, Bridget, Alice et al brightened my week And I learnt something Or we could watch some thick tosspot nobody acting like a tw4t and manufactured into some 3rd rate star. While Time Team unquestionably experienced problems, particularly in its final years, this much-loved show was an astonishing success, propelling modern archaeology into the public conscious as never before. So my husband looked for more info. Such an approach was perfectly realised by Graham Dixon, the director of the first few seasons. http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/time-team-should-continue-on-tv.html. I thoroughly enjoyed learning about the digs and finds discovered by the crew. Not everyone takes change happily., The comments below have not been moderated, By Whats wrong with a passing reference to global warming unless you are an eccentric climate change denier? Without Mick Aston it will not be the same, but as such it will be a fitting tribute to a great forward thinking man. The site, discovered by historian and metal detectorist Keith Westcott after years of research, could be one of the biggest villas uncovered in recent times. I KNOW i keep on saying it but i cannot get my head around channel 4 is getting rid off such a great programme it is seen all over the world. 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. 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. Good quality programmes do cost a little extra.Have watched the programme from the start and my 6 year old daughter did also and was entertained by TRs presentation, she can still imitate that enthusiastic burst of speed across a field whilst talking to camera. Ive watched TT since it began & never missed an episode, I was in the 20s age group that they are now trying to attract when it started. Time Team was the product (exclusively) of Channel 4 a commercial TV-only company that was created in the early 80s. I had to think about it before I realized what he meant. Was it her sultry beauty, or easy going attitude that rubs some the wrong way ? In other words, archaelogy, teamwork, and interaction in that order. By The idea/format needs to be revived by BBC4. This is no good for those at work or school. So sad. here was atransfixing series, turning elitist subject into everyday knowledge for the ordinary man. The team are irreplaceable, such a huge whole left in life once the program ended. Teatime 26: Stewart Ainsworth - Return to Nevis 14,215 views Premiered Oct 11, 2020 Time Team Teatime: Session 26 - As Black History Month continues in the UK, we catch up with Stewart. Archaeology enthusiast from Europe and the United States have long discovered the series. Exploring the archaeology of the Roadford Reservoir, Devon, this came about after Tim Taylor approached Mick Aston to present the series. In between programmes, E4 these days uses short clips of things like hillwalking and narrow boats to ridicule the interests of old people. Please bring back Time Team with Tony Robinson. Usually clad in a loud jumper, with his white hair blowing in the wind, Professor Aston was the shows site director who chose where to dig for the next historical discovery. They were like a 70s open university program with their hairstyles and clothes. Best wishes to everyone ever involved with the show. That some suburban folks welcomed the Team to pull up their patio, knock down their potting shed, and bore holes in their rafters, used to amaze me. Said no-one, ever. 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. This was the best educational programme that looked forward to every week and also all the repeats that were broadcast on more 4. Tim Taylor recalls that some archaeologists were initially, quite fairly, a bit sceptical. One aspect that some treated with suspicion was the three-day deadline. Long-serving archaeologists Helen Geake and Stewart Ainsworth would appear less often. Admittedly, in the last year or so I have found myself increasingly disinterested in the programme. Tony, Mick,and Phil will be missed. Hello from the US. Tamara Cohen for the Daily Mail, Mick Aston, 65, quits historical show after it hires Cambridge graduate Mary-Ann Ochota, 30, Prof Aston was on long-running show for 19 years, DAN WOOTTON: Too old for TV? One of the people she missed was Carenza Lewis. It is to bad that the show was cut, there are so much more to find, discover and educate us all. It follows so much what has been prevallent in recent years on Brittish TV and thats dumbing down. My grandson is a budding archeologist and watches it over and over again. Thank you time team, one and all, I constantly watch the reruns on the history channel here is oz. Toni Victoria australia. time team r.i.p. 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. Thank you all for giving us years of delight and thank God for DVDs. Excellent show. I was sad to see Carenza leave and sad to hear of the death of Robin Bush. If you ever wanted to check anything academically, you ran a brick wall which amply demonstrated it was seen by C4 as a Reallity show, complete with Dymock shots. As our first dig back, we were keen on a site that would produce amazing evidence, showcase the very best that Time Team can offer, and allows us to demonstrate to the full the latest technology like LiDAR and GPR, says Taylor. You can watch some TT episodes on YouTube, you know-that one included. In terms of Cotswolds villas Time Team has probably covered more of them than anyone else. 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. Such a shame its being axed at a time its claimed the viewing figures are at its highest make little sense to me. An episode where a workplace expert was on stand by for structural shoring when common sense would have not wasted this kind of expense. The original team brought an impressive breadth of skills to the programme. too, although not often. Taylor says, It would have been great to show Basil Brown the new technology, which enables us to see 3D images of the archaeology underground, allowing us to precisely target our excavation., Taylor continues: This dig signals the start of a fascinating new chapter for Time Team. 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. Axing time team is a huge mistake. Alan Gale is 100% correct. Sounds as though short sighted suits are at work. When . No, sadly when it comes to TV, viewers dont get what they want, they get what they are given Trouble is, the people who make these decisions can be misguided, and very stupid. Unlike many here, I think Mary Anne Ochota was a qualified addition to evolve and maintain the momentum of the series. I learn so much. I remember John Gater and his long beard. Time team is irreplaceable. The attempted dumbing down of Time Team smacks of dim executives meeting to dish corporate cliches out to one another. Will miss them! Sadly, my wife passed away in January 2012 but I carried on watching it until it ended. 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 therefore conclude that the program is enjoyed by audiences of all ages. Thank you to all of Time Team for 20 wonderful years. 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. Yes,he was often guilty of playing the devils advocate, but at such times he was the voice of many of us upon listening to yet another gigantic leap of hastily constructed faith or explanation of purpose for the sake of the less informed viewing massive. Victor is a great artist and bought sites to life. Many of us have watched Time Team for ages and have been educated (along with Tony) on the ins and outs of Archaeology and did not need another presenter to ask superfluous questions (nice though she was). So sad to see my favourite programme on Channel 4 being axed. Perhaps we can come up with a crew of our own with Ronald Hutton replacing Tony Robinson and I do know of a great film crew that would take up the filming. NON of these corporations do they think we are all idiots who will do as they as told like little children in school!!!!! Tony Robinson seems an entirely likeable guy and does his presenting job with good humour and humility. This was highlighted by having a member of the public read out a letter of invitation at the beginning, posing the question they wanted answered. Im an Englishman, came to Australia as a 12yo in 1970. Lets hope that somebody in control is also a fan and a compromise can be reached. I loved it. It remains my all time favourite reality TV show and I really miss it. Lee, viewer outrage worked in Australia with The Movie Show. This show has been a wonderful joy to follow over the years, and I shall so miss it. What a bore YOU are! 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. He is 10. 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. He worked his sox off. TT is without doubt, the best offering in British television. quite a lot of the programmes are available on Veehd.com. I am sure the essence of archeology would be attractive to a core audience once again. This has been one of our few favourite programs; not only has it been informative, but it has been entertaining in the best-possible sense. Perhaps in gthe future we may have a project for a future Time Team, Channel 4 where did it all go wrong? age is no barrier in archaeology and many of us dont start until our 40s and 50s. I could have watched it for another 20 years. Slower paced, Timesigns has Mick talking directly to the camera in a style more akin to a history documentary or Open University broadcast. Fabulous, thank you. Perhaps we could have a US/Canada version? Who made the decision to axe time team but it is a mistake they will regret. Never too late to register shock and disgust at the decision to axe Time Team which has opened up the hidden world of archaeology to generations. The UK is lucky that it has such a long history. What a shame to see TT let go. Time team came back as a clear favourite, so for one of the national conferences we decided to contact Time Team so that Tony or one of the team could come along and give a talk. Shows that actually ADD something GOOD to the mix. Just been reading all the comments, and a lot of sensible thinhs have been said, and a few stupid ignorant ones as well.
