The technology now at our disposal, and a new generation of archaeologists joining the team, is a fantastic prospect. It took off instantly and has been there going from strength to strength since 2004. Many of my friends would love to travel to the UK because of shows like Time Team and Escape to the country. Phil is fantastic as he has always been. This show has been a wonderful joy to follow over the years, and I shall so miss it. It was a formula that worked for the target audience and trying to attract a different audience by dumbing down the content was like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole. I didnt always like the reenactments but it was interesting when they dealt with diet and medical issues. There are many pagan archeologists too. 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. 1951. Its one of those few things in life that meant so much, really looked forward to every episode. 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. Its all happening ere Tony. I am shattered by this news. People who had their gardens dug up were very brave once Phil got digging, were their gardens reland scaped.

Its prototype was Timesigns, a four-part series that aired in 1991. So we manage to get something enjoyable, which at the same time is also useful. Time Team To Be Reinstated! I was so sad to find out that it is finishedCould we bring it back? against what channel 4 have done o no they will get a pat on the back and a good pay off for being stupid .. so sad we wont see friends like the time team on our t v screen again.,.

On the other hand, all good things come to an end. I think Tony is a good fit for this program. Probably just as well this is the last series, but as many have suggested, a move to BB4 sounds a great idea.

Their intention is to uncover the remains of a number of plantation houses that now are no more than ruins. Your Upper Classes have been re-inventing themselves as New Romans and Empire builders for some time now, particularly in the last few centuries.They lost touch with who they ACTUALLY were and their own people. Im sitting here on the sofa watching the usual More 4 showing on a Saturday morning. Weve been able to order some DVDs from Australia, but we have missed many of the series since we moved here, and there is no way to watch them online. C4 has descended to abysmal levels. We live in USA. 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. It has certainly opened up the world of archaeology to new generations, and has But its also the fact that they didnt just impart accumulated knowledge, they made new discoveries as we watched. This program has opened up so much of Great Britain to me and I am in love with suach a picturesque landscape and such a rich history. Oh well, TV is doomed. 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. RIP Time Team. You can help Wikipedia by expanding it. Perhaps if TT had included a Big Brother style segment of drunken, debauched university students or only dug up the gardens of minor celebrity reality tv show contestants theyd still be on the air. What lies under the ground of the countrys past. So sad to see my favourite programme on Channel 4 being axed. My 100year old mother started,me on T.T.years ago & in turn my children and now the grandchildren watch ,ask questions and research . I have watched and enjoyed Time Team for many years I am one of the oldies watching but my children grandchildren and great grandchildren are all avid viewers I feel the makers of this program had no perception of its impact on different generations when they set out to close the program down. Great memories sadly missed. Fond regards to everyone from the past on TT. Very sorry to see Time Team being finished. Have watched 8 seasons and enjoying them all. 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.

My dad worked for the National Park Service and I was born quite near Chaco Canyon[(a universally important archeological site) in a Navajo mission(Christian) hospital]. fingers crossed, The show never recovered from the loss of Faye Simpson in my opinion. 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. While viewing it might be a bittersweet experience we should enjoy the moment while we can. 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. Watched it since the beginning, some great episodes and fantastic digs. 20+ years is a remarkable feat for a television program, and this isnt Dr. Who either. Learning? ARE THEY NUTS? Im tired of the idiots that run TV and Im ready for revolution.whos with me!!! Only a fool would get rid of an engaging program like TT. Eat umble pie you are having a laff. Was it her sultry beauty, or easy going attitude that rubs some the wrong way ? 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. What do other TT viewers think? 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). Time Team return, Time Team is coming back, Following the successful launch of a fan-led Patreon campaign in December, Time Team has now confirmed what could be the first of many digs.

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.

We are a large audience. Maybe the BBC can resurrect this show. I made this ages ago and thought someone here MIGHT like it? Sir Tony I salute you and the team,its been a good innings! Many a critic was silenced by seeing the team in action. I was digging my veg patch yesterday and I found a napped piece of flint. The programme has been an inspiration to me and I am sure to many people and for me has kindled an interest in history via archaeology that we can find all around us in our everyday lives. Shame on Chanel 4! I completely agree with you Lauren. We are shocked to read that Time Team is finished. 7 comments. Maybe it was better to end the show before they replaced the entire cast with celebrities from TOWIE. I enjoyed the later seasons in HD quality quite a lot, and I wish they would keep going for 20 more years. There is more than enough rubbish shown on tv so why axe a good item that entertains, explains and raises more questions. Steve Singleton What a pity we had to endure that young lady fashion model who merely read her script for a couple of episodes. 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. Bravo to your remaks. It opened my eyes up to so much of the UK, in particular my ignorance of Roman settlement. After playing a critical role in many of Time Team's digs, from the caves of Cheddar to the jungles of Nevis, Mick . 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. And what lies behind the strange decision to give us two rehashes of old material at the end of the 19th season? 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. Mick, Tony Phil, Carenza Lewis, etc bring it back as there are no current programs that come close. Even after its star began to wane Time Team remained popular. Miss Ochota, 30, holds a masters degree in archaeology and anthropology from Cambridge University. They managed against terrific odds.and that gave me a good feeling ! I enjoyed all the archaeologists and presenter Tony Robinson. 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. Perhaps if Chanel 4 had stuck to the old adage of if it aint broke, dont fix it we would still have had this gem of a program to look forward to enjoying for many years to come.. with shows like Strictly Come Dancing, X Factor, Dancing on Ice, Big Brother etc etc etc all being aired every week, Time Team was an oasis of entertainment and education in a vast desert of mundane TV programming. What is wrong with older viewers? A thoroughly good bunch of people with a true PASSION for their subject ! i like everything about it. Archaeology enthusiast from Europe and the United States have long discovered the series. Unfortunately my DVD recording did not work. I dont know. I learn so much.

The changes proved too much, too fast, and viewing figures crashed to 700,000. A brilliant series has been lost to the older viewer. C4, please bring back the previous and successful formatting of Time Team. This is in no doubt as a direct result of the post production. Please, please would someone bring the show back, This is just another example of Managements old adage: Its perfect; lets New and Improve it but our family loves Phil. Best wishes, good luck and Gods speed to the lot of you! He has since appeared in over two hundred episodes. So thank you time team I hope someone with a brain brings it back. Time Team's Stewart Ainsworth on How To See Time In The Landscape. Lets not overlook Public Broadcastng with its excellent programming, either). Mick, can I come work for you?

It enabled a local group to secure Historic Lottery Fund money to dig the site. I owe a debt of gratitude to the wonderful Time Team ensemble.

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. Thank God for my Saturday morning lie-in watching four episodes in a row on More 4. It was broadcast over TVO Toronto Canada. 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. 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. It was one of the most brilliant Programmes ever on TV. Especially ones which dig a site. 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. 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. Does Phil Harding have a PHD? When did Mick leave time team? He has worked on a number of archaeological sites in Britain and abroad. what fools these youngsters are. Yes, that was a great one. do they ever have reunions whereby you could meet the surviving characters.. i hate computers these days, they act up. Apparently, there was plenty of dirt being dug off camera, thanks largely to the people up top. I have watched every episode from season 1, some many times. Please ressurect it someone soon. I love time team. A number of archaeological old hands were sacrificed in favour of more youthful presenters. I wish! I agree entirely. What will Ch4 spend its money on now, even more American imports? We also miss Stuart very much. Learned lots of the history of the show from these posts but I dont know whether Ive seen the cleavage or whether Micks absence from a dig is because hes doing something else, on hols etc or because hes gone. Nevis, West Indies: Part 1: Directed by Graham Dixon. [emailprotected]. I too have enjoyed Time Team and am amazed that it has been scrapped. age is no barrier in archaeology and many of us dont start until our 40s and 50s. Hope it returns anne from Ontario Canada. 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. Perhaps one of the other channels will see the folly of C4s ways and pick up the program before its too late?

Regards, Paul Tressel [emailprotected], Time Team was a massive part of my life, Im still watching it even now on more 4 :O. A terrible loss to the worlds of broadcasting and archaeology alike, with luck a pheonix will rise from the ashes. 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. I had drawn him into the subject a few years after we married but I had the privilege of degree training. 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? I lost my job recently due to illness.time team made my days. This biography article of a United Kingdom academic is a stub. 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. Hi Serena, you can find a complete episode and series guide of all 230 programmes plus the specials on this website: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Time_Team_episodes Plenty more to come for you yet, if only More 4 would stop repeating the same episodes over and over again and show some of the others they could keep you (and the rest of us) happy for years to come. But, as always with Time Team, the adventure is in the discovery of the secrets of the past, whatever they are!, Landowner Martin Fiennes a cousin of actors Ralph and Joseph Fiennes, and explorer Sir Ranulph says: Were delighted to welcome Time Team to Broughton.

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. This feature was published in Current Archaeology issue274. This has to be one of the biggest tragedies of modern television times. So sad to hear that it came to an end. 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. My nana came from England in 1901. I never felt patronized and certainly never notice Tony Robinson sermonizing about global warming. 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 wonder how Tony felt with this introduction, as he had been doing the job for so long, and never once boring. I dont understand what purpose that serves, but there you have it. I am American and Time Team is my favorite program. I dread to think just where the Television industry is looking for its viewers In the Night Garden. Excellent show. Agree 100%, they should have left it well alone. BBCs own channels will have BBC prefixing the number and anything not by the BBC will obviously by without this prefix. or anyone with an IQ of 50 and below, or the attention span a bit longer than a small herring. Envelopes hidden at strategic points would set challenges along the lines of find the Medieval high street in two hours. I would echo it completely. I had no idea it was finishing until yesterday and I missed the last viewing as I have flu and have been sleeping a lot.. OH DEAR ! RESURRECT THE PAST! Its a shame we didnt see you and the team doing more international locations. It presented an intellectually enjoyable show to the many mature aged citizens of planet Earth and COULD continue to do so if someone with an gram of sense would realise that this show still has enormous appeal for the right demographic. Whats wrong with cozy? There was a early chemistry here of personalities, as well as expertise. Leave it to an insular management team to screw it up. I cant believe how much I have learned during Covid lock down because of Time Team. Inever felt patronised and loved the interation beteen Tony, Phil and Mick. I am incredibly disappointed at CH4 for axing a fine British programme. To me time team brought all facets of history alive to the ordinary person. 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. 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. Chronicle. Didnt like the changes either to the team it change the dynamics of the program but kept watching anyway. Yes, Phil can still shift the muck but check out his work on lithics studies and you might change your opinion. People came and went, such as my favourite Robin Bush, but those two remained, as did their stamina and zeal for the show. Stewart Ainsworth (born 26 June 1951) is a British archaeological investigator who was regularly seen on . He was an outstanding presenter for the show. To an incredible all round team we thank you and to Phil damn we will miss you! Tamara Cohen for the Daily Mail The main loss will be the delight we have got shouting bullshit-ware at the screen as Paul Blinkhorn announces a small lump of stone is in reality early Anglo Saxon teaset. Such speed was certainly not ideally suited to showcase all of the techniques available to modern archaeologists. I am sooooo sorry the series is over. It must have been amazingly hard to pull together the locations, permits, and logistics, add the art, historical research, music and local involvement, let alone process the dig sites. Please bring Time Team back. I was sad to see Carenza leave and sad to hear of the death of Robin Bush. That way we still get our fix when we want to remind ourselves how good this series was. certainly helped to fill a lot of university places, even if many of those gaining degrees have gone on to other careers. There is definitly an opportunity for BBC2 together with The Open University to take over when Time Team ceases. I am one of the over 40s over 60 in fact. This segregates the viewers and leaves fans like me stuck in the middle and slightly upset at the notion that my favorite programmes have been taken over by people who havent got a idea. Condolences on your chronic issue with clever people. Time Time could go on indefinitely as long as it found a sympathetic home, and BBC Four would be ideal, their audience demographic would fit far far better than the current Channel 4 one, which is increasingly to try and chase the Reality/Makeover show market at the expense of original programming, and attract audiences that the advertisers prefer to exploit, rather than those with brain. Yes, the original core team with Carenza, and then Helen Geake, were great. Sadly,she passed away 2 years ago but before she went, she told me not to forget to watch TT. God, is there nothing for older viewers who actually like to think? 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. if you can i would a reply.also HELEN IS ALSO VERY GOOD. 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. 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 WILL WORK, IT WILL BE SUPPORTED. 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.
