Karenza Lewis archaeological sex on legs. save. Oh well, TV is doomed. Geophysics gives you that instant picture you can then evaluate. 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. John has kept on top of technical advances, and the results of his survey of Brancaster Roman fort provide one of the outstanding moments in the forthcoming season 20. It was this show that gave me the inspiration to study history and I will really miss it. Ive loved all of them (apart from the guy who placed the stones/coins/sword on his land deliberately) but that wasnt Time Teams fault and they did prove they couldnt be taken in. I lost my job recently due to illness.time team made my days. these idiots decide to change it.i hope they are happy boring peaple.please bring it back. This photograph was taken at a recent catch-up with some of the Team: John Gater, Helen Geake, Carenza Lewis, Tim Taylor, Dani Wootton, Jim Mower, and Stewart Ainsworth, all of whom are . Thank you, Time Team!!! Channel 4 has lost one viewer it wont get back. With Phil Harding also on board, three members of the future Time Team core were in place. I never saw any of these shows until a week ago when I stumbled over them on youtube. Just recently I saw a show about Egypt using satellite infra red survey archaeology that could reveal all the subsurface features accross a whole landscape. Perhaps one of the other channels will see the folly of C4s ways and pick up the program before its too late? This biographical article about a British archaeologist is a stub. What is the matter not retro enough for you ! 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. 20 years is a great run for any show on TV. Mick, Tony Phil, Carenza Lewis, etc bring it back as there are no current programs that come close. What do we all enjoy about it? too, although not often. 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. 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. The major players seem tired and cranky, and while they are all professionals and are trying very hard to be positive and upbeat, its obvious that they are trying, and that ruins it. Pity arise Sir Phil???? He said: We were very sorry to see Mick go, and he leaves an extraordinary legacy. Brought up 3 kids on it. TT was an utter revelation. Totally agree. Quod erat demonstrandum. Closed minds achieve nothing in life. Its disadvantage was that it had no scope to include z-list celebrities to manufacture controversy around, and so it was killed. There was a youthful energy to them back them, which was part of the attraction. Restructuring, avoiding dumbing down, possibly making it a shorter programme all could help. 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. Time Team was the best program I have ever seen or hope to see. While filming Timesigns, Tim and Mick regularly discussed other ways to bring archaeology to a television audience. Maybe the TT should be recalled for a one off programme and instead of digging things up they could bury the CH 4 production managers and all forthcoming rubbish they plan to screen, My wife is very upset about the end of Time Team she adds its like losing and old friend Please Please channel 4 its not to late to change your mind. It is to bad that the show was cut, there are so much more to find, discover and educate us all. I met Phil Harding a few years ago at old sarum castle, Salisbury, we had a lovely chat, hes a fab bloke. These are absolutely awesome! The result was a previously unknown 5th-century monastic enclosure linked to St Columba. In most places over here there are literally hundreds of channels with endless variety. I would echo it completely. People seem to enjoy them. TT is without doubt, the best offering in British television. I love a list and now I can tick off which ones Ive seen in a suitably anal fashion. Click Manage settings for more information and to manage your choices. Its like having a child grow up and leave home The cast felt like family that I would visit each weekend and even my 11 year old daughter enjoyed it so much she joined a young archaeologists club. 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. This was a fresh ongoing series with a warm and positive vibe, an interesting treat on TV. He brought a wonderful empathy to Time Team.. his kind detailed replies to Tonys frustration always impressed me ! I will miss time team I have watch all the series since it start Thank you to all of Time Team for 20 wonderful years. Maybe the BBC can resurrect this show. You can never run out of history in Britain. Please, please would someone bring the show back, This is just another example of Managements old adage: Its perfect; lets New and Improve it Phil annoys me at times, by always stealing the limelight when lesser mortals had done the hard graft,but, the highlights were when lesser mortals (IE Raksha, Matt or Ian) had exciting finds and were allowed to show.Victors drawings were more lively and thought provoking than the boring computer graphics.I will start to miss the programme in two years time, when we finally complete seies 20. Mary Ann Ochota qualified or not added nothing substantive unless the viewer was starved for gratuitous cleavage shots and huge white beaverish teeth. It lost its way because of the producers. I started watching TT in 1998 (2 years after leaving school) and it showed that history can be not only interesting but also fun. What on earth is going on and who is in charge of these moronic decisions! Thank you all at Time Team for a wonderful 20 years. However, they added: Intelligence, natural curiosity and a passion for archaeology is a must.. Sounds ageism to me, isnt that against the law now? Exploring the archaeology of the Roadford Reservoir, Devon, this came about after Tim Taylor approached Mick Aston to present the series. They cant bring it back. However BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) is a state-owned institution from inter-war origins. They should have known how appealing it would be. This little part of the world (so far from Australia) was the birthplace of my father in law. 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. What a hero! 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. Stewart Ainsworth also stated: "Time Team has probably been one of the biggest things that has happened to archaeology for many years - to make archaeology and history accessible, and we need to keep that profile going whatever way we can." Very sorry to see Time Team being finished. I will miss it desperately and want to say thank you to them all.. What a fantastic 20 years Bye bye Tme TeamI will care for Phils hat .. I download everything I can from the internet and watch on American PBS stations when I can find it. When I get a chance I watch the repeats on More 4. I am gutted Time Team is for the chop, I love it!!! Oh so true. I will watch Time Team episodes as long as I last. I agree what will replace it I can see more reality programmes cooking programmes selling houses nothing to work the mind channel 4 must be out of thier tiny mind. 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 ! Yes, Tony R was sometimes (often?) Tony R told us that the fort was not connected by road What???? Time Team! Like others I have loved TT right from the start and have always enjoyed it. 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. As Francis Pryor observed on his blog, in many ways the real question is what went right?. 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. It needed to get back to its roots look at the early episodes to see why it was successful. Stopping TT is just another step in the dumbing down of TV and radio. I have watched every episode from season 1, some many times. With Channel 4 keen to attract more supposedly affluent viewers in their 20s and 30s, season 19 also tinkered with the format. The format was part of the problem. Only problem is the core members are getting on a bit, so no chance of it going another 20 years. However I would contact Channel Four to find out when they will be repeating it again and maybe arrange to record the programmes. My wife Ida & I never missed a program for years. As a teacher of Ancient and Modern History in Australia, I found the T.T programs a wonderful way to back up the various topics I taught. I dont think I could stand watching Phils grotty hat for one more season. There are only about a thousand signatures so far.Personally, although I have signed, I dont think it will do much good. Well it seems the bean counters got their way. The last series was disappointing without Helen and Stuart who were replaced by people without half their expertise. I was introduced to Time Team when visiting relatives in Selby and have loved this family of buffs who presented the UK to the world at large. A number of archaeological old hands were sacrificed in favour of more youthful presenters. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVRe_gMtXNo. Time Team cancelled by Channel 4? Such a great programme. I dont think a Presenter is supposed to be a devils advocate. For me Time Team was a cultural oasis in a desert of dumb and lazy TV. I love time team. . It is hardly surprising that I rarely watch TV these days apart from repeats of old favourites thank goodness we still have 20 years worth of repeats. There was a early chemistry here of personalities, as well as expertise. I share your sentiments totally. I wonder how Tony felt with this introduction, as he had been doing the job for so long, and never once boring. Poor. 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. I am team Ainsworth, so he would have to be brought back. I also never felt patronised by Tony Robinson, and loved the way he frequently asked questions that the audience would have wanted to know themselves. And the team. As a lowyal Time Team viewer from Australia, I am devastated. Im retired now and would love to get involved in archeology at some level. Crazy. and use my iPad to follow through my own enquirers. 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. Its all happening ere Tony. 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. I know we have no Roman history, but there are thousands of of places that date back thousands of years. There is more than enough rubbish shown on tv so why axe a good item that entertains, explains and raises more questions. It was broadcast over TVO Toronto Canada. Gutted to learn it is no more. I have just realised that time team is to be axed by c4. He has worked on a number of archaeological sites in Britain and abroad. Im in my mid 40s. Us all. They tried to make it edgy and the thing I loved about time team was its lack of edginess? You talk rubbish mate! Im sure it was meant to interest younger viewers in Archeology, a noble enough concept. 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. I hate the way that today producers think all people are stupid and try to dumb down TV. Well Done Time Team, sad to hear you are soon to be no more. I record episodes that I cannot watch on the day. 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. For how many years were John Gater and Stuart Ainsworths technical expertise presented as a pat cliche when the work of either could have been expanded? 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. 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. This is in no doubt as a direct result of the post production. It took off instantly and has been there going from strength to strength since 2004. I am 81 & have watched & enjoyed TT for many years. Channel 4s choices are definitely a bit strange to many of us. Apparently, there was plenty of dirt being dug off camera, thanks largely to the people up top. By the way I am 52, so I guess I am too old for channel 4, but tell my kids that. 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. I think the only things we didnt like so much were the cleavage shots and the daft re-enactments. Who was the idiot that canceled it??? And the journey is not quite over yet. The 2006 audience survey also identified that Time Teams core audience consisted of families and people aged over 45 / 50. C4 have put money into British Archaeology, when no one else could or would presumably, and as has been pointed out, much of that money went into post excavation work, which although not good TV is absolutely vital as far as each site is concerned. DREADFUL ! Tony, Mick,and Phil will be missed. 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. x. Condolences to Micks family, his friends and his colleagues. Slower paced, Timesigns has Mick talking directly to the camera in a style more akin to a history documentary or Open University broadcast. Without time team on the television the world of tv is going to be a poorer place. will take it on. If this were a BBC programme, then this alone would be worth the license fee. The students became instant converts to the program. Tim Team has finally brought British history into focus for me. I was thinking, isnt it about time Time Team was on? Im an Englishman, came to Australia as a 12yo in 1970. I have watched TT for the last 20 years from my mid 20s. A unique combination of expertise, enthusiasm and humour. It is about time ABC Australia got there act together and started to replay ALL the episodes, from the first, so that we dont all go crazy from withdrawal symptoms. Hated that glamour woman simply the wrong feel.. Very, very sorry that management mis-handling killed it. The changes proved too much, too fast, and viewing figures crashed to 700,000. Raphael, you cant have the old cast back. Not all of us want mindless reality TV that costs a few bob to present. We are headed to the UK in May from the US to see some of the TT sites. RIP Mick Aston John and his team must have walked miles. I want to salute everyone involved in this show! Out of interest, Time Team fans, how many of you would be willing to pay directly to watch new programs? Disgusted, Mick walked out, explaining later For some reason they didnt think oh, wed better run that past Mick. Hes the archaeological consultant, he might have an opinion about that (see CA 271). Come on BBC, take up where C4 left off PLEASE!! Started watching British TV while on exchange with the RAF. Biggest mistake ever! Lee, viewer outrage worked in Australia with The Movie Show. Inspiring stuff. All the best shows are taken off and all we are left with is the boring and so untrue Archers. Im 77 and was taught English history at boarding school, but Time Team has made it come alive and with so much meaning. I have always enjoyed TT but the latest series seems to have lost its spark! 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! Official website also launched: http://www.TimeTeamFans.com Thanks everyone. By the summer of 2012 Channel 4 no longer wanted old Time Team. Youre right about More4 but try Discovery History which is showing what I think must be very early ones judging by the colour (and amount!) 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. How come journalists never seem to tell us these sorts of things? perhaps they could do a show that showed what happens as the sites are put back to their natural state. 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. Enough said. Spoilt in the end by Fixing something that want bust. Screening 13 episodes a year, as well as live digs and specials the programme was ubiquitous. The Mick Aston informative, involving wide range of age and expertise-or students out in the field working version, not the americanised teenybopper version as touted by c4 accountants. In terms of Cotswolds villas Time Team has probably covered more of them than anyone else. I have scoured the Internet watching every episode I can find, some more than once. There is nothing else like it on TV. 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. You can watch some TT episodes on YouTube, you know-that one included. Lee. 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! It was one of the most brilliant Programmes ever on TV. 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. Keep the show going its fantastic Ive been watching it as long as I can remember We have it so easy in this day and age to compare to others in the past and we so loved it when Tony came to Australia and did some shows about our ancestral heritage,we all walk past so much and never notice whats in front of us,we miss so much rich knowledge right under our feet. Just a thought/ John. Bringing in that awful woman for the last series was the straw that broke the camels back. So sad to hear that it came to an end. 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. Stewart has been interested in history since the age of eleven, after reading a book about Horatio Nelson. I have been planning to return for several years now for a holiday and to catch up with friends and relatives. Lets not overlook Public Broadcastng with its excellent programming, either). 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. Tony Robinson, global warming? Try local volunteering opportunities, if you can still get out in the garden and walk and talk and are willing to learn then it will be great, and you will make lots of new friends of all ages. Such an approach was perfectly realised by Graham Dixon, the director of the first few seasons. It seems there was no need for one before Womens Studies and all those other nonwhite studies. Stewart surveys, records and investigates archaeological sites. Rest in peace, Mick, you added more to peoples lives than you probably ever realised. I still watch the series on U-tube. Also I dont know how many episodes Ive got left to watch and am dreading the day I realise Im rewatching episodes Ive seen before, though thats still better than pretty much anything else on TV at the moment. 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 ! Real shame, feels like Ive lost my friends! Subscribe to Current Archaeology the UKs favourite archaeology magazine and like thousands of other people you too can get details of all the latest digs and discoveries delivered to your door, every month. I am so sad and gutted Time Team has been axed. Here in NZ we are only now starting Series 19,in Bitterly, at present. The key participants deserve a rest at their age, and the joy obviously just wasnt there. Certainly the revamp for the 2012 programmes didnt do the programme any favours but another reason for the loss of viewers even before that must have been the lack of a fixed time in the schedules. Hopefully, but unlikely, someone will gather the real TT people and give it a rebirth. Please bring back time team I do really miss watch it please please bring it back. I am still watching episodes on Yesterday that Id somehow missed. Yet despite bringing the past to life using the familiar ingredients of excavation, landscape survey and reconstructions including Phil felling a tree with a flint axe Timesigns is a very different beast. He has since appeared in over two hundred episodes. Time Team brought archaeology to the publics attention (including mine) and will be sorely missed. yours MRS HILDA LESLEY CARRINGTON. I am shattered by this news. Suddenly Channel 4 was receptive to the idea of a major archaeology programme. do they ever have reunions whereby you could meet the surviving characters.. i hate computers these days, they act up. Meanwhile Tonys role transformed from a quiz master to translator of all things archaeological for a general audience. I will miss it & Sunday afternoons will not be the same-Im all for a petition -there arent many programs on now that are educational & family viewing with no risk whatsoever of offending anyone, there are too many reality programs these days & that seems to be what the young people are watching. Twelve months on and I still miss it. Some of them are dead, and the rest have moved on. But once the old hands started to disappear the magic went too. Bravo to your remaks. 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. Regarding Time Team's potential return, which was realised in 2022 after an eight-year hiatus, Ainsworth said: "Time Team has probably been one of the biggest things that has happened to archaeology for many years to make archaeology and history accessible, and we need to keep that profile going whatever way we can. I am looking forward to the Village Dig series, when it eventually comes to the small screen. Now British television can be as dumbed down and offensive as American television has become. now I rely on repeats. I would be very interested in acquiring DVDs of the whole series to watch at my leaisure. He brought archeaology to the public domain and helped us discover where our nation began, how it grew and how it is still changing. The Twitter page has been great up to now. This was the best educational programme that looked forward to every week and also all the repeats that were broadcast on more 4. I am watching repeats on Yesterday but hate the constant adverts. Just heard about the axing of Time Team what a shame! Time team is irreplaceable. 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. An audience study in 2006 indicated that 20 million people watched at least one show that year. It was season 19 that changed everything. BRING IT BACK.
