2024-06-02 05:05:32 +0000 UTCThis is a great Dig! I particularly like is that the focus on “villagers” vs Romans or the “High Status” leaders.

2024-05-17 12:55:44 +0000 UTCThere's a lovely sense of positive energy and enthusiasm among everybody on the site--plus some optimistic early expansion of the site on Day 1. Great episode! Thanks Time Team!

2024-05-17 01:57:50 +0000 UTCThat was a great first episode, with many interesting features. I am looking forward to the rest! I was wondering, what is that crazy camera technique that they are using to film Stewart? 😊
Andy Quick
2024-05-17 00:49:40 +0000 UTCMaybe there should be a Time Team line of Funko Pops?

2024-05-16 12:47:01 +0000 UTCa) I've enjoyed the use of the 'from within' camera perspective eg. making the kiln, and digging the briquetage(?) pit; & b) as much as I understand the value of branding, and quite enjoy the Time Team merch' designs, the child in me delighted in knowing that, when it comes to investigating gracile skeletons, "SPECTRUM is Green!" (SIG, Dr Smith!) 😊

2024-05-16 00:10:54 +0000 UTCFascinating and fun as always. Looking forward to days 2 and 3. Loved Lawrence’s striped t-shirt. It brought back memories of Mick Aston.

2024-05-15 13:41:26 +0000 UTCAlways excited for a new episode and to see the Team in action.

2024-05-13 16:50:40 +0000 UTCWOW! That episode just got more exciting as the day wore on! Tremendous history!
William Rome
2024-05-13 15:51:21 +0000 UTCTell Lawrence we love his T-shirt. And maybe where he bought it, guess lots of fans would die to get their hands on it

2024-05-13 14:57:03 +0000 UTCA fascinating and superbly produced episode. As good as anything Time Team has ever done.
Philip Stack
2024-05-13 09:24:25 +0000 UTCFantastic! Great to see familiar and new faces. Thanks Time Team! ❤️
Jenny Lambert
2024-05-13 09:17:15 +0000 UTCSeveral good answers given already, so just to add - in the UK, when Time Team was originally on TV, it was often broadcast close to when a lot of people would be eating dinner. Dinner time is, in many parts of the UK, referred to as 'tea time' (although as the Wiki above states, this can mean other mealtimes as well.)

2024-05-13 07:07:26 +0000 UTCOh, the fact'ries may be roaring with a boomalacka zoomalacka whee, But there isn't any roar when the clocks strike four. Everything stops for tea. Oh, a lawyer in a courtroom, in the middle of an alimony plea, Has to stop and help 'em pour when the clock strikes four. Everything stops for tea. (Jack Buchanon) Just about sums it up
Roger Mills
2024-05-13 06:23:58 +0000 UTCLoving this. Am impatient for the rest of the episodes. 👍
Kerry Hennigan
2024-05-13 03:46:13 +0000 UTCThis site obviously has a long, long history. Who will be surprised should bronze age or even mesolithic evidence appears (not me)?
Eggs Ackley
2024-05-13 03:00:30 +0000 UTCWhat an incredible dig! I can't wait to see the rest of the videos! And what a lovely ending to Day 1, with that evocative folk music! I hope we get some interview time with Derek describing his family's history at this farm.

2024-05-13 02:25:28 +0000 UTCTime Team was traditionally shown at Sunday tea time from what I gather, so it has a special connection.

2024-05-12 23:45:00 +0000 UTCI watch many archeology shows, but Time Team's layout suits me the best. As a non Brit, I do question something. What the hell is tea time? I've heard it on the previous Time Team and now the current one and still don't know what it is.
Alan Murdock
2024-05-12 23:39:06 +0000 UTCIncredible, trying to wrap my brain around the information presented... and it's just a taste of what's to come!! I eagerly await the 3 part series & Patreon extras. 🙏 Thank you ALL so much...

Maureen Edmonds
2024-05-12 22:19:51 +0000 UTCWas Lawrence's shirt a deliberate homage to Mick's iconic jumper/sweater?
Virginia Peters-Schultz
2024-05-12 21:34:12 +0000 UTCLawrence's colorful shirt is giving me welcome flashbacks to Mick Aston's sweaters.

Bob Greaves
2024-05-12 20:03:08 +0000 UTCLawrence and Derek make for a great Time Team team!
