He is 10. As an amateur digger, I envied TTs resources a JCB on call, geophysics, dendrochronology, C14 dating, DNA analysis. An unrepentant Phil Harding was heard to shout as he was bundled into a police van: "I'd do 'er again!". Waterloo Uncov. pain this is all I can say in thinking that the single most important program ever to put PASSION in archaeology has been culled for giving more profit$ in adverts to run of the mill crap so long TimeTeam but rest assured you have YOUR place in history now! just found TT on Acorn streaming. Indeed, the only affectation on Time Team was Micks famous stripy jumper. So sad to see my favourite programme on Channel 4 being axed. I am thrilled that TT is returning in 2022, but saddened that Phil, Raksha and Tony will not be participating. very sad day for us and the time team cast. fingers crossed, The show never recovered from the loss of Faye Simpson in my opinion. In relation to earlier comments concerning Mr Robinson, all I can say is that if he was patronising us then it must have been a residual echo of Baldrics most cunning plan. The Twitter page has been great up to now. Most of the text is based on the hearsay of others and is regarded as anachronistic, drawing on earlier accounts by writers such as Posidonius. I also helped out at two hisoric sites with two different groups of 11-13 uear old kids who spent half a day five days in a row learning what archeology is. Why cant these so-called clever people just leave things alone. 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). Please use the Phil Harding & Ian Curnow entry when applicable. The cast will be sorely missed. The worst thing they did was sex it up. She completely ruined it, and led to Mick Aston walking out on the show. . A terrible mistake in the cancellation of Time Team one the most educational series on T V I and my friend in Canada cant wait each Monday evening to watch the show we both being amateur Archaeologists and worked for many years with the Ontario Archaeology Soc and find the show captivating and extremely educational and will be sorry to see it end. A number of archaeological old hands were sacrificed in favour of more youthful presenters. Surely a revamp, no helicopters, fewer paid staff, smaller archaeological objectives, involve communities more hence free labour would help. All orders are custom made and most ship worldwide within 24 hours.

It took off instantly and has been there going from strength to strength since 2004. He made his first archaeological finds digging up his parents' garden, much to the annoyance of his mother, Elsie. This programme could have run and run with the younger people such as Helen Geake, Brigid, Matt and Raksha taking it into the next 20 years. I studied art and have worked for the V&A, meeting many interesting historians. He told BBC Points West Professor Aston was "such a really nice guy and a seriously . If they wont reinstate Time Team ,then why not release All episodes in a DVD BOX set . I dont know. No, I didnt ever notice that, was I watching the right show?

They have onbly made a couple of mistakes, 1 was letting Mick go and the other was axing Time Team. Who was the idiot that canceled it??? You clearly have no idea what youve done. Our family love TT and watch it together. I enjoy watching this program on my computer(I never knew about it 10 years ago because we have so many garbage programs here on US television, they did not show it here.). [3] On 24 July 2008, he received an honorary doctorate from the University of Southampton in archaeology. Excellent show. Perhaps in gthe future we may have a project for a future Time Team, Channel 4 where did it all go wrong? I watch time team on more 4 Above all we learned something new in each programme , not the usual rehashed information served up in other one -off programmes on popular periods. 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. my point in this is, why try to fix it if it aint broke change is not always as good as a rest. People understand it isnt treasure hunting well, we probably still have some way to go with that one! Tim points to Over 230 films that have been seen in 36 countries. Such speed was certainly not ideally suited to showcase all of the techniques available to modern archaeologists. Such mass-production was only possible with more rigorous processes guiding filming. A unique combination of expertise, enthusiasm and humour. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVRe_gMtXNo, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Time_Team_episodes, I Have Fallen In Love With Land Rover Freelander! Phil Harding's Tool Box and Spade | Time Team Exclusive Time Team Official 11K views 2 years ago Mix - Time Team Official More from this channel for you Guy de la Bdoyre looks. What idiot made this particular decision to cancel such an interesting and educational series! Time Team is a British television programme that originally aired on Channel 4 from 16 January 1994 to 7 September 2014. 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. Faced with the loss of a stalwart the production team then proceed to sideline the other star of the show Phil Harding for most of the airtime, and we get all that Chief Investigator nonsense, coupled with the bright young things who were the televisual equivolent of the black death for the programme. I am sure there are more sites for them to investigate. Hated that they axed Mick Aston and brought in other new people!!! Raksha Dave from Time Team is part of it. He was an outstanding presenter for the show. All I can tell u is that I was hooked. Regards, Paul Tressel [emailprotected], Time Team was a massive part of my life, Im still watching it even now on more 4 :O. It was not the first time that a chance conversation with Mick had got someone thinking about television archaeology. i am disappoited time team is to end after its next series a lot of people learnt more about the history of the uk.My grandchildren learnt more about roman history medieval times and other periods in our countries history than at school, http://www.edp24.co.uk/news/tv_time_team_to_reveal_secrets_of_ancient_norfolk_fort_1_1783360. We are a large audience. Its December 2016, My Hubby and I live in Queensland Australia,we have Foxtel and have the old shows on a series link and never get tired of watching the Time Team. But maybe it is time and we need to move on. 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. I never felt patronized and certainly never notice Tony Robinson sermonizing about global warming. 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 agree. 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. I found TR irritating at times but accepted him as part of the show. The students became instant converts to the program. I cant believe how much I have learned during Covid lock down because of Time Team. Trained on excavations with the Bristol University Extra Mural Department and other bodies from 1966, he has been a professional archaeologist since 1971. I have been planning to return for several years now for a holiday and to catch up with friends and relatives. 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. Shame on Chanel 4! Your email address will not be published. sundays seem empty without my time team fix. Ive enjoyed watching all the archeologists old and new & think Tony Robinson is a great presenter. Why is it that when you get a winning format, which TT clearly is, you get the morons in suits, who obviously havent a clue what the audience want, having to justify their existence by changing things. 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 was Meat Loafs name before he changed it? Think again C4, as someone who is 40 years outside your target audience, all axing this program has done is make me switch channels, so demographically relevant or not you have simply lost another viewer and surely viewer numbers are more important than some misguided attempt to only appeal to a certain age group? Thank you time team, one and all, I constantly watch the reruns on the history channel here is oz. what fools these youngsters are. Lets not overlook Public Broadcastng with its excellent programming, either). Its interesting that Ch 4 is dropping a program on history and education, are they really dumbing down to suit a younger age group whose programs contain bad language smut and sex, bad attitudes and a large sense of self. 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. Brought up 3 kids on it. The roman barge in Utrect was particularly interesting and my son in Holland wished to see it. Speaking to Express.co.uk, Tony said he won't be. I live in Minnesota and am anxious to explore sites of the indigenous people who lived and continue to live here. But TIME TEAM managed the impossible. 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. This comment by Peter Thomas is an excellent precis of all that has been said. It follows so much what has been prevallent in recent years on Brittish TV and thats dumbing down. Born in Oxford on 25 January 1950 and brought up in Wexcombe,[1] Wiltshire, Harding was educated at Marlborough Royal Free Grammar School in Marlborough. In 2014. Ive learnt so much and enjoying every minuteo. Totally agree. The writing was on the wall when it regularly began featuring cleavage shots of diggers and the dreaded re-enactments. I hope that someone has the sense to resorect TT even if it is repeated from the beginning. Hi. I continue to be in awe of the fantastic skill and enthusiasm of the presenters.May TT be always available to us. Time Team RIP This page was last edited on 1 January 2023, at 22:21. I still watch the series on U-tube. Goodbye, Time Team, and thank you. 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. I was digging my veg patch yesterday and I found a napped piece of flint. We are shocked to read that Time Team is finished. I am still watching episodes on Yesterday that Id somehow missed. The result was a previously unknown 5th-century monastic enclosure linked to St Columba. Yes, the interest remains for the show.

Despite their varied talents and backgrounds it quickly became apparent that the team had a natural chemistry. The time had come to leave. Raphael, you cant have the old cast back. Emails,from those who have just learned that TT was cancelled a year ago are still dropping into my in box. Thank you channel 4 Thank you very very much . BRING BACK TIME TEAM PLEASE!!!! Its brilliant and helps this Singapore based Brit to feel less far away. , Cant we have Phil once a week digging a hole in a pub garden, please?xxxx. Despite some great new people who learnt fast, expecting them to produce the same calibre of product immediately was just too big a demand. Were not archaeologists but were not stupid either it really did feel like they had decided the audience was unintelligent. Sir Tony can do no wrong with me. Afterall SA is used to watching loads of rubbish repeats every day!!! 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. A) Time Team's still going; B) Tony Robinson left; C) Tony Robinson's returning. Phil shares his views in his own unique way!For our website, head to:https://timeteamdigital.comGive us a follow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/timeteamdigTweet us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/thetimeteamShop our merch if you like:https://shop.timeteamdigital.com The technology now at our disposal, and a new generation of archaeologists joining the team, is a fantastic prospect. Just a thought If anyone knows how to get up an on line partition, perhaps we could get enough signatures to make Ch4 sit up and take notice? I once heard Mr Harding say Oh arr. TV archaeologist Phil, 69, said knives never used to be a "nasty object". Its all happening ere Tony. 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. I was just looking for where any dig sites would be this year and discovered the program was being axed! Yeah. He worked his sox off. Sorry I dont know how to do this! TT has inspired me to take up the challenge of retraining at the age of 67 for a second career in Heritage and Museum studies. I still enjoy my archaeology despite my age not being able to take part in the reality. i never knew this show was available as the colonies never mentioned it. It has certainly opened up the world of archaeology to new generations, and has To anyone who loves the Sunday afternoon history fix as much as I do PLEASE sign! What a shame to see it go, but what a swan song. Yes, Phil can still shift the muck but check out his work on lithics studies and you might change your opinion. I do not know he was pretty good towards the end at his archeology. If this were a BBC programme, then this alone would be worth the license fee. You are going to be missed more than most of us realise. does anybody really care what those idiots say surely it is what the public want that matters but no channel 4 has a foolllll running it.. heavan forbid we should have a great program T T ware we think and enjoy it plus it is great family veiwing and may i say also very interresting. ** TIME TEAM HAS JOINED PATREON! Good job I have the internet to log onto. The explanation for the end of Time Team is that the people who run Channel 4 are all about 12 years old. I watch Time Team on Amazon Prime here in Phoenix, AZ USA every day!! I know we have no Roman history, but there are thousands of of places that date back thousands of years. It is located on the Broughton Estate in Oxfordshire, belonging to the Fiennes family. Despite the Ancient Monuments Laboratory having drawn a blank the year before, Johns state-of-the-art kit revealed the monastic complex in startling clarity. Thank you to everyone who made this such a wonderful programme. Phil Harding is a highly accomplished archaeologist, working in the field since 1971, and inspired a whole new generation of archaeologists and historians through his work on Time Team. After a career as a professional geologist I researched for a PhD at the Palace of Knossos on Crete. I love time team because it is filled with such enthusiasm and love for its subject. I agree .I have thoroughly enjoyed Time Team and was greatly disappointed when I switched on my TV at the usual time and found no sign of Time Team at that time or any other. Time Team creator Tim Taylor said they now have enough funds to start work on two new YouTube episodes, with two more in the pipeline. Thank goodness there is a myriad of viewers who appreciate the achievement of Time Team. The last series was disappointing without Helen and Stuart who were replaced by people without half their expertise. I have no idea which series I am watching, I think it must be a mixture as Tonys beer belly ebbs and falls and Phils hair waxes and wains, though Mick never seems to have changed. Mick Aston was a remarkable person intelligent and well informed but still able to get complicated concepts across in an way that was accessible to all. But archaeology is now a subject that tens of thousands of people enjoy and value, and this is almost solely down to him. You are here: Home When What happened to Phil on Time Team? Oh! I have watched Time Team for years as has my son and many many friends. Nothing lasts forever, including Time Team. For me Time Team was a cultural oasis in a desert of dumb and lazy TV. Start a letter writing campaign to bring it back. UK engineer, producer, songwriter, musician and author. I had no idea it had finished. Thank you, Time Team!!! This is not the present series I wonder where you are watching? Not a Tony Robinson fan myself but he is part of the show. I started watching TT in 1998 (2 years after leaving school) and it showed that history can be not only interesting but also fun. there must be a law t Dont let it stop you Margaret. Real shame, feels like Ive lost my friends! And the journey is not quite over yet. It is practically unheard of for a factual, specialist programme to spend two decades as the public face of its subject and become a national institution along the way. Harding was a regular on Time Team from the first series in 1994 until its cancellation in 2013. Yes/No? I wonder whether the viewing figures took in the worldwide audience I know lots of people watched and enjoyed it here in Australia. Incidentally, to my British friends & fellow TT fans I have to say that I agree with the comments in this thread that the American shows that BBC chooses to air in the UK are garbage, but what a shame the excellent documentaries and history-related productions are not offered in your part of the world.
