There is a focus on interesting, previously discovered, artefacts, while pipe music lends an almost mystical air to proceedings. Steve Singleton 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. 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. Good job I have the internet to log onto. Carenzas missing as is Helen, I see Mick walked out as I also presume Stewart has too. Dont let it stop you Margaret. What screwed up Time Time was poor scheduling two years ago and an attempt to sex up the show and this failed miserably. ! He joined the Royal Commission on the Historical Monuments of England (now part of English Heritage) in 1985, and is now head of its Landscape Investigation Team based in York, England. 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 have been planning to return for several years now for a holiday and to catch up with friends and relatives. This so Heartbreaking. 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. , Totally agree have enjoyed this programme since it started. What do we all enjoy about it? I have just realised that time team is to be axed by c4. No, I didnt ever notice that, was I watching the right show? Big Bang (repeat), Simpsons (repeat), Simpsons (another repeat), Maid in Manhattan (good grief!). 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. Just started to watch the latest series on C4, very very sad to be losing it soon. Hopefully some other channel will take up the format eventually. My husband said I bet you want to get Phill round now. I dread to think just where the Television industry is looking for its viewers In the Night Garden. This has to be one of the biggest tragedies of modern television times. As well as an arresting demonstration of the power of teamwork, Athelney showed how geophysics could be the heart of the programme. Like others I have loved TT right from the start and have always enjoyed it. 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. My 100year old mother started,me on T.T.years ago & in turn my children and now the grandchildren watch ,ask questions and research . My idea of heaven, sitting in pub day 1, discussing what has/has not been found, what may/may not be found, Phil looking for flint, Mick not wanting Roman, Carenza keeping the peace, John anxious about the ploughed geophys, Tony querying the tentative theories, and Stuart saying its the wrong place! I watched all but episode 1. 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. Try Dig Ventures, an online crowd-funded Archaeology site. I am very sorry to see it go. 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. They have onbly made a couple of mistakes, 1 was letting Mick go and the other was axing Time Team. It was supposed to be about archaeology. I dont understand what purpose that serves, but there you have it. Congrats to Lee Brady for having the knowledge to set up the petition and we must (using the current idiom) cascade to as many people that we can to sign too. 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. Leave it to an insular management team to screw it up. This will give viewers the chance to engage as the shows are researched and developed, see live blogs during filming, watch virtual reality landscape data at home and join in Q&As with the team. Like you, I find nothing more pleasant than to end a hard day in a Free House with a cold one and a good conversation. I too have enjoyed Time Team and am amazed that it has been scrapped. i like everything about it. This biography article of a United Kingdom academic is a stub. 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. Agree 100%, they should have left it well alone. I have several friends who are serious archaeologists who have been dismissive of this program over the years, some of their comments about the lack of time for each dig are valid. 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. There were times when I would have liked to see some longer digs being featured and I would still like to see that, but it seems likely that it will not be Channel 4 doing it. I cannot understand why you are axing it!!? although a WONDERFUL outlet for the undoubted heroes, is not archaeology and not what I feel Time Team needs. In 2014. RIP Channel 4. 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. He was an outstanding presenter for the show. Gutted that Time Team has ended! I know more today of English history and Roman occupation than I ever did before. All the others as far back as 1828 from Ireland and Scotland. http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/time-team-should-continue-on-tv.html. One only has to consider the creative arc of Channel Four itself, to have noticed that its a shadow of what it set out to be and frankly, those who run it now should be ashamed of themselves, relieved from duty, and prevented from working in TV ever again. Phil is fantastic as he has always been. 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. There was a youthful energy to them back them, which was part of the attraction. All the members of the team are keen to promote archaeology, I once witnessed Phil Harding rushing from trench to trench when TT were in York, stopping, turning off his radio and spending time talking to some enthusiastic kids about what he was doing, how he was doing it and why, the kids were transfixed by his enthusiasm, his ability to communicate his subject at many different levels being an inspiring sight. 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. My grandson is a budding archeologist and watches it over and over again. As for the rest of the Team, hats off to you for the great fun and excellent archaeology looking forward to a few TT specials. During that time he deduced the towns Medieval layout. RIP Time Team. I wonder if channel programmers read these blogs? while the Facebook page is slowly building! What will Ch4 spend its money on now, even more American imports? Judged a misfire by Channel 4, it could have been the end. Time team has been a part of tv watching since its beginning . Our investigation of the villa and the landscape it occupies will aim to preserve and enrich our understanding of the past and the people who inhabited it. Jim Mower (development producer, see his opinion piece here) believes that Phil Hardings material was among the most innovative. I rue the fact that as a child we used encyclopaedias 20 years out of date. Unlike many here, I think Mary Anne Ochota was a qualified addition to evolve and maintain the momentum of the series. We are a large audience. Hated that they axed Mick Aston and brought in other new people!!! My cable TV subscription gives us awesome selections for history, science, and information buffs! Perhaps in gthe future we may have a project for a future Time Team, Channel 4 where did it all go wrong? I will miss Matt and Bridgit and all the others especially Phil. but our family loves Phil. When not filming, Stewart also works as an investigator and project manager for English Heritage. What an absolutely stupid decision to ax Time Team! After reading, in his youth, a book about Horatio Nelson, 1st Viscount Nelson, and visiting the Tower of London, he formed an interest in the history of landscapes.[2]. 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 .. 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. 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. Gee I feel gutted. And now our children and grandchildren watch the programme but not for long now. I have not been watching the show for very long because it was not aired in the US as far as I know. The programme has no need for eye candy, no need to try to attract yuppies: archaeology is like genealogy interest grows (although not exclusively) with age. Carenza Lewis, Stewart Ainsworth, Helen Geake and geophys genius John Gater will all be returning and are excited about the new sites. It took off instantly and has been there going from strength to strength since 2004. I enjoyed all the archaeologists and presenter Tony Robinson. The easy familiarity between the people on the programs has been such a contrast to the egos and prima donna attitudes you see in so many other programs. 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. Keep the show going its fantastic Ive been watching it as long as I can remember It brought the money and expertise to investigate sites that would otherwise never have been touched. That they were able to achieve what very few others were able to achieve and give a thirst to the man-in-the-street in what could be classed as a dry subject only adds weight to what they were able to achieve in such a fantastic way. R.I.P. time team r.i.p. Time Team To Be Reinstated! His presentation throughout all of the series, which I have almost finished running though for the second time, is stellar. You have left us wanting more which of course is the best way to end a show. (But not, ever, I would agree, grinning totty!) The UK has always been relied on for quality productions and Time Team epitomised these values, but obviously, some young Turk in a rented tux has been allowed to jazz it up. 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. Some single episodes already . I wonder if some young Channel 4 TV executive is proud of his/her decisions. He trained as a surveyor before entering the archaeology section of the Ordnance Survey. I WONDER what rubbish they will put on instead. I am shattered by this news. They were like a 70s open university program with their hairstyles and clothes. What a shame to see it go, but what a swan song. I suppose I will have to go back to Dads Army for a bit of sanity then, Robyn Australia And so agree with all here who say that C4 is very sadly dumbed down from its early days and mission. You should be ashamed of yourselves, especially the way you have treated Mick Aston after all those years of dedicated service. How about a petition to Channel 4 demanding its continuation? I will miss my bit of kulcha. Headed by D Macall. I love Time Team and regularly binge watch have seen many episodes several times. 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. I guess it was always going to happen when TV administrators who, judging by the few Ive seen interviewed, are challenged by words of more than two syllables come into contact with educated professionals. Pay per view TV? Special thanks also to the fantastic people behind the research, graphics, computer animation that added so much to each episode. And they have taken it off and broken up a brilliant team. Rather than targeting the palaces and castles of the rich and famous, individual episodes modestly sought to solve simple, local questions. The students became instant converts to the program. 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. The thrill of time running out also engaged viewers, and Time Teams popularity was rewarded with increasingly longer series. Whatever happened, wed all thought, well complete the 20th series. BRING IT BACK. Lee. well done on ending one of the best programs on tele. very sad. Tim Taylor devised the name Time Team, and in 1992 a pilot episode was filmed in Dorchester-on-Thames. Anyone who visited one of their digs while shooting was underway will have seen the devotion it inspired in members of the public. What a hero! I loved it and speaking as an Hibernian, the only thing I found mildly irritating was Tonys obsession with all things Roman. What a lot we learned. He was affectionately known as Time Team's "lumps and bumps" man, working with the team alongside his day job, travelling the country surveying, recording and investigating archaeological sites. For years I had little interest in any of it but as time went by this programme made me interested. They cant bring it back. The attempted dumbing down of Time Team smacks of dim executives meeting to dish corporate cliches out to one another. Please bring Time Team back. Oh so true. I wonder how much is wasted on their wages. Channel 4s loss their gain :) What a disappointment that BBC4 chose to cancel the series! Have only just found out that Time Team has been axed after 20 years and I am gutted. If an episode costs 200,000 and average 1.5 million viewers, would 1 million be willing to pay 20p via mobile phone or subscription towards making it, or 400,000 willing to pay 50p per episode? Joining you at your virtual pyre and raising a glass to Mick Aston! The villa is a tantalising prospect a grand building almost as big as Buckingham Palace. Our family enjoyed Tony Robinsons performance, but what made Time Team great was Mick and Phil and Carenza and Matt and Stewart and Raksha and Mick the Twig and Bridget and Raysan and Victor the artist and the geophysicists and Robin the historian and all the others whose contributions brought together a cohesive story for a site from a range of disciplines. Eight years after the long-running archaeology series stopped filming, Time Team is set to return with two new excavations scheduled for later this year. 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.,. Their participation and enthusiasm clear for all to see. Surely this cant really be the end?? I cannot believe that there will be no more Time Team, I hope the idiots at channel 4 read this site. I have only lately discovered time team and I love it I record as many episodes as I can and I think all of the cast make the show I was never interested in archeology but I am addicted now just watchedthe Salisbury plain one with the soldiers who are coping with life and one said that watching TT helped hime to relax and began to enjoy life again Its the best show! Charlies comments would carry more weight if the spelling was correct. Its one of those few things in life that meant so much, really looked forward to every episode. 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. To an incredible all round team we thank you and to Phil damn we will miss you! You are going to be missed more than most of us realise. In 224 digs, Time Team revolutionised the presentation of archaeology on TV (which before had focussed largely on the Classical world), bringing Britain's heritage into our front rooms - and, in the early series, into our back gardens. i never knew the show existed until last year 2021. any chance for reunions and a chance to interact as like conventions do here in the usa? Best wishes to everyone ever involved with the show. 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. Didnt like the changes either to the team it change the dynamics of the program but kept watching anyway. It was broadcast over TVO Toronto Canada. Im in my mid 40s. I too wonder why they stopped it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Time Team: Created by Tim Taylor. Long-serving archaeologists Helen Geake and Stewart Ainsworth would appear less often. 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! The cast will be sorely missed. Love the show and all the characters especially Phil! Bringing in that awful woman for the last series was the straw that broke the camels back. One of our students is well into his 70s, hes been in the field with us both on our formal field school and in a volunteering capacity. 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.

Many a critic was silenced by seeing the team in action. , Cant we have Phil once a week digging a hole in a pub garden, please?xxxx. Inspiring stuff. 17:30 EST 07 Feb 2012 Tony admitted a number of times that he is not an archeologist. You can watch some TT episodes on YouTube, you know-that one included. The show ran on the chemistry among the original team, and failed to work as they left or lost interest. This is no good for those at work or school. This series is in my opinion (and hubbys) a satisfying end. Its disadvantage was that it had no scope to include z-list celebrities to manufacture controversy around, and so it was killed. time team is the best progamme on tv. Found Time Team on You Tube. Miss Ochota, 30, holds a masters degree in archaeology and anthropology from Cambridge University. Sad Time Team series being finished. Come on BBC, take up where C4 left off PLEASE!! The marvelous experts have described items, historical facts and what could have been, may have been and what was likely to have been and possibly how the ancestors [residents and visitors alike] changed the landscape. I have enjoyed Time Team from day one. Self (as Prof. Stewart Ainsworth) Show all 219 episodes 1998 Time Team Extras (TV Series documentary) Self - High Worsall, North Yorkshire (1998) . Such a great programme. I note that none of them ever received a gong. Oh! Mick Aston is a damn good archaeologist and his departure was a serious loss to the programme. Ozzy John has it right, Anne Marie put a wall in to TT and it showed in every show afterwards, when you see the fun they all had prior to he joining, she should be ashamed of her achievement in dissolving a great show. It is absolutely fantastic to see the amount of people who have followed this programme and the comments above are pretty amazing. A monumental row and walk out, one would guess. Look at Lee Bradys comment 23rd Jan. Theres a link for a petition hes got started. Jim describes this miscalculation as a death blow, which cost the show almost all of its behind the scenes staff.

My wife and I are from the States and discovered Time Team on Amazon Prime after watching/ loving other British shows- Rick Steins culinary travels, Timothy Wests canal cruising, etc. axed is their a petition running ????? The banter between him and the otherwise notoriously stuffy academics was legendary. While viewing it might be a bittersweet experience we should enjoy the moment while we can. With its awkwardly embarassing reality programming and multitude of dream come true talent shows American television is NOTHING to emulate. Would love to see a new Time Team series up and running again especially now theyve found King Richard llls body, also instead of 3 days to uncover make it a 5-7 days to uncover maybe Geo-physics could find out a lot more information so here is a challenge to all the mainstream TV channels bring back Time Team! To me time team brought all facets of history alive to the ordinary person. 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. Thank you Time Team for all those wonderful hours of thoroughly enjoyable entertainment. And the journey is not quite over yet. Surely, the way forward would have been to dig deeper into the technical aspects of the archaeology and to speak to the intelligent audience that made the program in the first place whether the sites themselves or the techniques being employed. As it was said at the start, they had to change it and then when it all went wrong blame someone else. Whats wrong with cozy? With Tony Robinson, Stewart Ainsworth, Victor Ambrus, Mick Aston. Ive watched TT for years now and thoroughly enjoyed it. However over the years TT seem to have worked on sites that have been known about for a long time, but have remained unexplored for whatever reason. I have watched most episodes many times and it is a joy to come across one I have never seen before. I share your sentiments totally. As is the case with so many entertainment channels, these days the focus is on the younger generation. 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." 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? As a lowyal Time Team viewer from Australia, I am devastated. I love time team because it is filled with such enthusiasm and love for its subject.
