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. And we have just recently lost Mick Aston, the Rock of Gibraltar of the show. Its a shame we didnt see you and the team doing more international locations. A thoroughly good bunch of people with a true PASSION for their subject ! Some episodes Ive seen over three times each.
Sad to hear the show is coming to an end but hopefully repeat episodes will frequent our screens for a long time to come. Channel 4 you need looking at!!! Leave it to an insular management team to screw it up. And as others have said, perhaps it could be resurrected on BBC4??? He should have stuck to presenting instead of trying to take command. I had to think about it before I realized what he meant. 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. Perhaps in gthe future we may have a project for a future Time Team, Channel 4 where did it all go wrong? Much better than most of the rubbish we get now that there are so many channels chasing adverts & broadcasting ever increasing repeats. I now live in Australia and love watching shows on my homeland. I cannot believe that there will be no more Time Team, I hope the idiots at channel 4 read this site. 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. Will miss them! I absolutely agree with everything you said ! 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. irritating but he was a part of a recipe that worked for a long time. Lets not overlook Public Broadcastng with its excellent programming, either). I am an ex water board worker and I still don t know where they obtained the patience to go into a hole in the ground and dig with a trowel. In fact, I actually struggle to watch any anyway, as I made clear at the beginning the post production is irritating. Last night (17 June 2014), they had a prominent, crude cartoon of a mans sexual equipment inserted into this highly humorous clip. Didnt like the changes either to the team it change the dynamics of the program but kept watching anyway. Were currently watching the series (2012?) Promotion of family values good natured banter and above all a love of the past which TT has shared with us over the years is disposed of Shame, Shame, Shame. I have loved Time Team since episode 1, and have never, not once, missed an episode. I dont think I could stand watching Phils grotty hat for one more season. Time Team announces historic comeback with 2021 dig at huge Oxfordshire Roman villa that may be 'almost the size of Buckingham Palace'. TT was an utter revelation. Seeing an entire brigade of scientists down at the pub for lunch made the show so human and readily acceptable. I share your sentiments totally. I dont understand what purpose that serves, but there you have it. We hope that someone our there will take them under their wing and continue the shows its been great,you have shown us so much interesting archaeology of our past from all the corner;s of our beautiful planet,and its hard work doing all that digging and trying to preserve it for our future children. INCREDIBLE ! I will watch Time Team episodes as long as I last. It is obvious to me that they were always working on their format and that Tony was the TV guy while the others were the science folks. Through understanding and helping to preserve the past, and sharing it with a worldwide audience, we hope to re-engage with the enthusiasm that so many of our fans have shown over the years., Many of the original team are already involved, both on and off screen. Now I will be stuck with overproduced, watered down supposedly historically accurate twaddle , We held a bit of a poll a few years ago with the Pagan Federation as to what the favourite TV programme was. I have always loved history but the subjects in school were dull. I now look forward to watching as many individual shows as I can in the future. How very sad. At least we can watch past programmes on More 4 on on the On Demand. He was an outstanding presenter for the show. What is wrong with older viewers? Hated that glamour woman simply the wrong feel.. Very, very sorry that management mis-handling killed it. RIP Time Team. I too am upset that this has been axed. 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. There are some of us who actually enjoy watching interesting, factual, historic programs. Tony was very good at being the non-archeologist and I salute him! Totally gutted Time Team is going. I will miss TT more than any other show I have ever watched and Im extremely disappointed that C4 have decided to axe a show that brought History into the hearts of so many people. I just love the way English history came alive & feel like the team must have lots of fun doing this job.I was hopeing to find them on a dig when I come over to visit .Lets hope the powers that be decide to bring it back or make a new show similar to it. We shall mourn the loss of TT in Australia, although the episodes arrive on our screens years after they are made, which means well be watching them long after the series ends were still with the old format so I cant comment on the new look TT. So sad to hear that it came to an end. My cable TV subscription gives us awesome selections for history, science, and information buffs! 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. 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! This is the sort of Programme that would thrive on BBC 2 in conjunction with The Open University. Tony, Mick,and Phil will be missed. 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. I found TR irritating at times but accepted him as part of the show. 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. I think the only things we didnt like so much were the cleavage shots and the daft re-enactments. Research digs usually ran for weeks if not months, and it was questioned whether anything approaching responsible archaeology could be achieved in a mere three days. Who was the idiot that canceled it??? Time team is one of the programs I love to watch. Emails,from those who have just learned that TT was cancelled a year ago are still dropping into my in box. All of the team can be proud of 20 years of quality television and the many lives touched and informed. Thank you to all of Time Team for 20 wonderful years. Ridiculous. I watch time team on more 4 You talk rubbish mate! This was a fresh ongoing series with a warm and positive vibe, an interesting treat on TV. But thanks guys and I am pretty sure that someone somewhere will pick up the baton. What better way of introducing archaeology to young people than for them to see it on a Sunday afternoon? Thank God for my Saturday morning lie-in watching four episodes in a row on More 4. Thanks to you all. You can help Wikipedia by expanding it. I lost my job recently due to illness.time team made my days. 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 am looking forward to the Village Dig series, when it eventually comes to the small screen. What a wonderful 20 years we/they had. 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. 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. Bringing history to life is far from an easy task but the combination of the experts knowledge, Tony Robinsons ability to act as the interested layman asking questions that the audience wanted to know the answers to, as well as the interaction and camaraderie between the members of the team I felt worked really well. 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. The attempted dumbing down of Time Team smacks of dim executives meeting to dish corporate cliches out to one another. I am sure the essence of archeology would be attractive to a core audience once again. Crazy. Very sorry to see Time Team being finished. My oldest son and my husband dream of being as good in tapping flint as Phil! This did happen in fact, but the show kept going with Mick Aston and (Sir) Tony Robinson always at the helm. !I have just retired and it would be perfect NOW. Was it one persons requirements that brought extras into the show, persons not wanted nor needed, also not as talented as a walnut. Shots of him in woodland seeking out raw materials for a reconstructed axe allowed the audience to witness the hands-on practical process. I will miss Mick and Phil and Tony. I am totally gutted to learn of the demise of TT. People who had their gardens dug up were very brave once Phil got digging, were their gardens reland scaped. 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. We are a large audience.
