Still, we liked to watch something online every now and than rather than read a book, play a game or just talk to each other and thats when my husband showed me the first episodes of Time Team, which he remember from his youth. 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. Cliche good looking, middle-class presenters who appear somewhat dull in enthusiasm. Now I have no reason what ever to watch ch 4 now or in the future . Totally agree. He asks the questions that some people must be sat in front of their TV asking. Im sorry no-ones put in a word for the lovely Raksha always good-natured, hard working and incredibly knowledgeable. Why did Time Team get Cancelled? And to lose Mick Aston well, that was it for us. Tim Taylor explains because weve involved Wessex Archaeology in our work for the last 10 or so years the reports are really good quality. Admittedly, in the last year or so I have found myself increasingly disinterested in the programme. It was my highlight of the week especially now i am disabled and dont leave the house very often. What are you going to replace it with? It has also helped me find out more about my own history that goes back to U.K. Have caught onto Time Team on the History Channel. At 72 years old, Phil Harding height not available right now. (Bog Latin). COVID-19 allowing, filming is due to take place in the late summer and I hate that its producers felt the need to change its face to meet the modern idea of glamour! Time Team went out of fashion because the rest of us got sick of being patronised by Tony Robinson, who seemed incapable of letting an entire episode pass without a snide comment or a sermon about man-made global warming. 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. 
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 have watched Time Team since day one, and until the last two or three series have always enjoyed it. Rip, time team. Shows that actually ADD something GOOD to the mix. Time team has been a part of tv watching since its beginning . 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. 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? Its brilliant and helps this Singapore based Brit to feel less far away. Its our favoite show. 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. Several sites have been scheduled as a direct result of the Teams work, while their excavation at Blaenavon, near Pontypool, assisted in the industrial site achieving World Heritage Site status in 2000. Instead Time Teams format was radically overhauled. 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. Most of what I feel about the demise of TT has already been said here. When Time Team came along, I got absolutely hooked on it. I am devastated ! Thank goodness there is a myriad of viewers who appreciate the achievement of Time Team. Because of TT I have reached more into my family and can get back to 1300s with a direct 13/16th great grandfathers. 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. Time Team, the highly successful archaeology tv program on Channel 4 has announced a possible return to the trenches with a crowdfunding Patreon campaign to It is made up of real people and I have learnt so much from it. How many programmes can a entertain a whole family at the same time, not many. why change what works well and T T did work well . But its also the fact that they didnt just impart accumulated knowledge, they made new discoveries as we watched. 
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. No, Phil Harding is not married.As he said in an interview,he is only married to a brewery and archeology. Many bad decisions for all the wrong reasons. A political gesture aimed at building up regional television, Time Team was picked because it seemed a safe pair of hands. Phil Harding is Time Teams resident trench-excavator. Whilst not filming Phil still works as a field archaeologist with Wessex Archaeology, and has been involved in a project listing all known Palaeolithic sites in Britain. What happened to the Time Team crew? I first saw Tony when he did a coverage In Australia and was surprised to see my pop involved in one of his series ( my pop was a cop ). You wonder what kind of palsy comes over TV programers when they occasionally axe the best shows, shows with strong, solid substance!!! I liked the pictures Victor did on several shows which showed the principals in historical costumes. A long-time member of Channel 4s Time Team, Raksha Dave is one of the countrys best loved archaeologists. Whats wrong with a passing reference to global warming unless you are an eccentric climate change denier? Beautifully expressed, Andrew. Mick, Tony Phil, Carenza Lewis, etc bring it back as there are no current programs that come close. As the original show grew from an unlikely underdog to a national institution, each series in the original run was a product of its time whether evaluating a Romano-British villa or the final refuge of druids, the tussle between continuity and change was at the centre of each episode. What about the number of times they were wrong? I dont know. To all the people who wrote nasty comments on this forum about it, I leave you with this question why are you on this site at all if you didnt love it like the rest of us? Like Paul said (June 23 comment) you wished you could join them in the pub at the end for a beer . Judged a misfire by Channel 4, it could have been the end. Robinson said his decision to stop drinking last January inspired him to find other ways to improve his health. Thank you channel 4 Thank you very very much . Yes/No? In 2012, Aston announced he was leaving the show after criticising format changes that focused less on archaeological activities. TV is going downhill faster & faster. I will miss my bit of kulcha. Sad to hear the show is coming to an end but hopefully repeat episodes will frequent our screens for a long time to come. Axing time team is a huge mistake. Thank you Time Team for all those wonderful hours of thoroughly enjoyable entertainment. Wasnt TT the only reason to watch Channel 4 ? I bought a couple of the DVD sets and have just ordered a Phil Harding coffee mug from Wessex Archaeology to keep the memories alive. A unique combination of expertise, enthusiasm and humour. archaeology..is what my 11 year old gran daughter is looking into training for..shows like these are needed more. My enduring memory of Tony Robinson during Time Team filming is him spending several hours of every day asleep in a massive American car with the engine running. Slower paced, Timesigns has Mick talking directly to the camera in a style more akin to a history documentary or Open University broadcast. Their participation and enthusiasm clear for all to see. There are many pagan archeologists too. I have scoured the Internet watching every episode I can find, some more than once. The idea/format needs to be revived by BBC4. I love watching the old episodes, the ones where there was fantastic camaraderie between the team, excellent and atmospheric music in the background which always complemented the era of the dig and the extravagant clothing worn by the team. When discussing the latest TT episode at work/with friends sadly there doesnt seem to be many others who watch it, Ive always been interested in history so maybe its just me & maybe the young people of today arent being taught that history can be exciting/interesting. I have been fascinated by archaeology since reading Golden Books Lost Cities and Vanished Civilizations, at the age of nine, but only recently stumbled across TIME TEAM quite by accident one night. Tony admitted a number of times that he is not an archeologist. The Iron Age site in far west Cornwall is equally intriguing, not least due to the presence of a fogou a subterranean chamber akin to passages known as souterrains outside Cornwall (see CA 263). I was surfing the internet to obtain correct titles for some episodes that I recorded earlier. Will you still be able to buy Godiva chocolate? I am looking forward to the Village Dig series, when it eventually comes to the small screen. .As always it will, I supposed be replaced by some run of the mill program, American sit com or soap. Last month retired doctor Philip Harding and retired matron Margie Mickan tied the knot after a whirlwind romance. He is currently single. Little surprise she became a history teacher. 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. This is in no doubt as a direct result of the post production. Time Team RIP I enjoyed Time Team and I will miss it Carenza and the later Helen Geake were the highlights for me there was always a sense of tension when you heard a shout of Tony not knowing what find theyd unearthed. Also it being on an increasingly miserable Channel (4) did it no favours whatsoever. Loved the history of U.K. Alarm bells began to ring for us when Mary-Anne appeared it seemed to coincide with a dumbing-down of the show. A tantalising question kept returning: what could a revived Time Team achieve with the technology and techniques now at our disposal? Is Phil Harding from Time Team still alive? Theme: Envo Blog. A relative alerted us to Time Team knowing.my husband and I were long term enthusiasts. Perhaps we could have a US/Canada version? It opened my eyes up to so much of the UK, in particular my ignorance of Roman settlement. fingers crossed, The show never recovered from the loss of Faye Simpson in my opinion. Phil Harding, TV archaeologist Interview by Pete May Fri 10 Jul 2009 19.01 EDT My mother, Elsie, was dead against me being an archaeologist, but she was proud of me when it come good. I cant believe how much I have learned during Covid lock down because of Time Team. My parents watch it. How many people can look back on a twenty years span of such a masterful contribution to human culture? We are shocked to read that Time Team is finished. I have enjoyed Tony Robinsons commentaries. RIP Time Team. 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. By the way, if the executives mild revamp caused viewer figures to plummet, how come it was the programme and not those executives who got the flak? Such a shame a beautiful show as this is axed and they show such dribble as reality tv shows blah yuk. Bring them back ! Ive learned that anything classed as experimental Is just filler as theyve found nothing. Maybe it was better to end the show before they replaced the entire cast with celebrities from TOWIE. I get very claustrophobic in cities, but here its very easy to get out to the countryside, so you get the best of both worlds. the only programmes on t v seems to me rubbish what are all the staff going to do as they have been on the show for so long. It may be in fifteen or so years a new Time Team will go digging in the archives of the defunct Channel 4 to explain how with the audience Channel 4 had for an entertaining and informative programme Which bright go ahead executive (IDIOT) came up with the Idea, if its not broken we must fix it. We totally agree with Nick Robinson, we too will be enjoying repeats and cursing Channel 4!. Hi Alan, thanks a lot for your reply very helpful. swinging camera booms. Yes as convicts and bloody proud of it. I completely agree with you Lauren. They managed against terrific odds.and that gave me a good feeling ! 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. As a lowyal Time Team viewer from Australia, I am devastated. 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 .. It makes me want to poke nyy head in and see the Geophys, operate the diggers to open a trench and pick up a trowel and start digging! 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. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment. I wish I could study with Mick Ashton. What a bore YOU are! Thanks to you all. Lee, viewer outrage worked in Australia with The Movie Show. HATE all the crap American shows taking over the tv. Refreshing to see non-Brits find our history/heritage of great interest. Yes, it was a great show, but its over now. The Aussie fans are disappointed too that T T will be finishing up. The more TV appeal execs tried to inject, the less people wanted to watch. INCREDIBLE ! I have watched time team since episode one and I am gutted . What a hero! Please bring back time team I do really miss watch it please please bring it back. Time team is one of the programs I love to watch. i say dont be too quick to make a stupid decision. I think the writing was on the wall when the powers that be messed about with it, moving its base to Cardiff and losing quality staff and goodwill. Im in my mid 40s. Goodbye, Time Team, and thank you. What are the top 5 longest interstates in the US? Shame on Chanel 4! I am deeply sisappointed that time team is now defunct its one programme thst I really love I felt that I could learn a little bit about my ancestors in the uk, C4 the tv channel run by lack of imagination. The two new presenters just did not fit. Yeah. 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. Harold Bush is lying. C4 what are you doing timeteam is a great show now u r going to put more rubbish on like big brother I know it not on your channel no more what a shame timeteam will b missed go on bbc take it on, Timeteam what a great show now we got to put up with shows like splash and x factor what is going on with tv now god help. It was supposed to be about archaeology. Yet time and time again they did it with grace, charm, humor and knowledge. About the same time I discovered TT and became a dedicated viewer and have viewed all their programmes thanks to More Four. I have been in awe of the items the team dig up and the re-constructions. 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. Coincidentally, digging within a tight timeframe echoed contemporary changes underway in the profession. I have just found out about the decision by C4 to axe Time Team, which was surely one of the best programmes on any television station anywhere. Philip 'Phil' Harding, FSA (born 25 January 1950) is a British field archaeologist. Shame!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Years earlier, Sir Mortimer Wheeler did some Archaeology pgms on TV and they were always popular. I cannot think why! Led by the inspirational Professor Mick Aston and featuring immediately recognisable figures like Phil Harding and Tony Robinson, the show evaluated hundreds of sites over the course of 20 series, several live shows, and countless specials, helping hugely to popularise the field of archaeology before it finally drew to an end in 2013 (see CA 274). For those people who wish to view old episodes back to day 1 surely all you need to do is put channel 4, possibly you may need to add UK.com, if overseas, into your search engine,register on line,confirm e mail address and then enter Time Team in the search box.You can even view Time Signs the original pilot series. The banter between him and the otherwise notoriously stuffy academics was legendary. Tony R told us that the fort was not connected by road What???? A good friend of mine was a guest archaeologist on several T.T programmes and it was my good fortune to go along on production. While the TV producers have obviously ruined a formula that entertained and educated millions of people worldwide for a couple of decades, I assume it is now beyond recall. From Phils glee over Stone Age flints, Tonys wisely playful and challenging banter, Micks sage hand on the digs tiller, Johns gentle determination to get the best cartography the technology can provide, Franciss round house fireside mussing on an Iron Age mans joys in life and Stuart goes walk about so we can get the lay of the land and know our place in it was amazing, every bit of it. I learn so much. Harding trained on various 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? Well Done Time Team, sad to hear you are soon to be no more. I never had any interest in my UK ancestors heritage and the conditions they must have endured until I watched the team in action. People like myself really appreciate history coming to life as Time Team presented it. I am a mega fan of the show. Moreover, one of Time Teams excavations abroad, investigating a Roman barge in Utrecht, is currently part of a wider application under consideration by UNESCO. Only problem is the core members are getting on a bit, so no chance of it going another 20 years. or anyone with an IQ of 50 and below, or the attention span a bit longer than a small herring. 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 ! He has since become an acknowledged expert on flint-knapping and is skilled in lithic reduction using both percussive techniques and pressure flaking, in which instead of striking the flint with blows, pressure is exerted on the edges to shape the tool. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVRe_gMtXNo. I am still quite happy to watch repeats on Sky. In terms of Cotswolds villas Time Team has probably covered more of them than anyone else. Phil Harding - Time Team - Shy but will have a pint and a chat with anyone. 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? 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. Shattered. An episode where a workplace expert was on stand by for structural shoring when common sense would have not wasted this kind of expense. It was a perfunctory end for a television institution that, over two decades, made British archaeology more accessible and popular than ever. Yes please BBC4 or anyone sensible Time Team will always be popular if you listen to Tony (yes I am a fan) Mick and Phil and Helen (yes I am an even bigger fan of these guys). 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 So, how much is Phil Harding worth at the age of 72 years old? Hope it returns anne from Ontario Canada. My youngest daughter honed her love of history sitting with me on a Sunday evening watching Mick and Tony et al. Thats fairly unusual.. A few days later news of Time Teams demise broke in the Guardian. Were exploring the idea of greater interactivity with live-feeds during filming itself, putting the fans in the heart of the action.. Sorry I dont know how to do this! I met Phil Harding a few years ago at old sarum castle, Salisbury, we had a lovely chat, hes a fab bloke. But when he returned to Britain, Tony found the studios equally intransient. I am American and Time Team is my favorite program. (especially phil, that crazy bloke,lol).I hope channel 4 regret the decision to axe the show. why isn't phil harding in the new time team. Webwhy did kim greist retire; sumac ink recipe; what are parallel assessments in education; baylor scott and white urgent care; why platonic relationships don't work; jacoby ellsbury house; PRODUCTS. My grandson is a budding archeologist and watches it over and over again. It is sad to read the mechanics of its demise and, worse, to see it played out on screen. Our family love TT and watch it together. Channel 4s choices are definitely a bit strange to many of us. Restructuring, avoiding dumbing down, possibly making it a shorter programme all could help. I wonder if channel 4 realise how far T.Ts popularity stretches and how informative it is for all ages. It is to bad that the show was cut, there are so much more to find, discover and educate us all. An expert in Medieval rural settlement, Carenza is currently Professor for the Public Understanding of Research at University of Lincoln. The key to the shows success, though, was a focus on the process and not just the end result. 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. It was an intelligent, thought provoking, and entertaining program. Oh! Time Team did a superb job and has an excellent track record of quality archaeology, bringing the subject to millions via TV and publishing the results! 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. Im sorry to see that TT is folding though. I would make just one more: yes, we love the established contributors, our well loved favourites, but what about the good new talent being seen in this present series (2013)? 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. Time Team has left a legacy that few TV programs can match and im sure that generations to come will enjoy. The breakthrough came when Timesigns proved an unexpected hit. It was Stewart who discovered the true route of the Roman road as it went through Greenwich Park. With Mick in his amazing technicolor jumpers playing father and patient teacher, fielding Tonys laymans questions, Phil as the eccentric uncle who could dig with the instincts of a terrier after a bone, John and his whiz-bang geo-phys, and all the other children hard at work in their specialties, the programme wasnt merely TIME TEAM it was TIME FAMILY. Toni Victoria australia. Some episodes Ive seen over three times each. The past shows took it for granted that the viewers were intelligent and did not need someone (other than Tony I love him) to ask questions in his humorous fashion. What a great show. My 100year old mother started,me on T.T.years ago & in turn my children and now the grandchildren watch ,ask questions and research . Surely television that inspires interest and development is too good to lose? 2017, My husband and I decided to get rid of our tv when we had 2 young sons. 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. Fans can now engage in the show in ways that were simply unimaginable when we started out, Tim Taylor says. Just been reading all the comments, and a lot of sensible thinhs have been said, and a few stupid ignorant ones as well. You always felt a relationship with the team, they appeared friendly, very enthusiastic and appeared to be there for the love of archaeology. From the fall of TT on the minuscule scale, to the fall of a Royal house; loss of a battle; collapse of an empire. 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. !I have just retired and it would be perfect NOW. 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. Learn How rich is He in this year and how He spends money? Filmed at Athelney, site of Alfred the Greats apocraphal burnt cakes, the site was scheduled, precluding excavation. When SBS decided to bring new hip young presenters in to replace the two experienced, knowledgeable and popular presenters who had made it from 1986 to 2004, and made it an institution, the ratings plummeted, and the new format was canned after 2 years. In other words, archaelogy, teamwork, and interaction in that order. 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. I will watch Time Team episodes as long as I last. I absolutely agree with everything you said ! Your email address will not be published. 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. It is just so sad to read all of these comments, like a requiem for a friend. The exact circumstances of the death of Prof Aston, who was born and raised in Oldbury, in the West Midlands, and was known on the show for his colourful jumpers and unruly white hair, are not yet known. I suppose I will have to go back to Dads Army for a bit of sanity then, Robyn Australia So sad. This was the best educational programme that I looked forward to every week and also all the repeats that were broadcast on more 4. Envelopes hidden at strategic points would set challenges along the lines of find the Medieval high street in two hours. 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.
