What about the number of times they were wrong? Time Team cancelled by Channel 4? I record episodes that I cannot watch on the day. here was atransfixing series, turning elitist subject into everyday knowledge for the ordinary man. Refreshing to see non-Brits find our history/heritage of great interest. Just watched the first instalment of Time Team America (H2,Thursdays,9pm). 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. What a shame to see TT let go. Please ressurect it someone soon. No other archaeology programmes on any channels tackle the wide range of sites and periods that TT did or inspired many to become keen amateurs or to start a career in archaeology. I hugely regret the demise of the series and sincerely hope that it will resume or that a similar, archaeology-based series will take its place. 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. We live in USA. If Tim Taylor or anyone at Channel 4 ever got the itch in their pants to dig it all up again (pun intended) it would be so awesome. Now everyone knows the word geophys. 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. Alarm bells began to ring for us when Mary-Anne appeared it seemed to coincide with a dumbing-down of the show. I guess the nearest feeling to learning of its ending was like being told that your solid mates of the past twenty years are all splitting up and moving abroad. Time team came back as a clear favourite, so for one of the national conferences we decided to contact Time Team so that Tony or one of the team could come along and give a talk. I have loved Time Team for years and wish that there were not so many bone heads in Channel 4. Buggering about with scheduling times has buggered many a decent tv series. 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. A family programe deleted. It is the ONLY program I think worth watching in all the rubbish put on these days ! I thought the 2013 series was an improvement on the 2012 series, but tonights episode was disappointing. 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. Time Team isnt the same without Mick and Phill is the token hot tottie (uh hum!) and have watched it since the begining. Was it her sultry beauty, or easy going attitude that rubs some the wrong way ? Close. 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? Yes/No? If you had to justify the value of television as a medium that can inform as well as entertain, Time Team would be the perfect example. I am sure the essence of archeology would be attractive to a core audience once again. Oh! Why is it that when you get a winning format, which TT clearly is, you get the morons in suits, who obviously havent a clue what the audience want, having to justify their existence by changing things. Gutted to learn it is no more. Such a shame its being axed at a time its claimed the viewing figures are at its highest make little sense to me. 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. Many a critic was silenced by seeing the team in action. I am sure there are more sites for them to investigate. 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. Margie, NZ There is definitly an opportunity for BBC2 together with The Open University to take over when Time Team ceases. It is made up of real people and I have learnt so much from it. Look at Lee Bradys comment 23rd Jan. Theres a link for a petition hes got started. There was a youthful energy to them back them, which was part of the attraction. We will miss Tony, Mick and Phil and the team. It lost its way because of the producers. Channel 4 obviously think we are all brain dead morons who need to watch the endless mind numbing soaps or the even more pathetic American rubbish that now dominates our screens. Shades of the quiz-show concept do survive into early episodes of Time Team proper. Big Bang (repeat), Simpsons (repeat), Simpsons (another repeat), Maid in Manhattan (good grief!). I will think of you when I am digging in a field this afternoon, that you once dug, and bury a memento in your memory. I have watched this program over the life of its showing and as a saturday morning archaeologist I was challenged to dig deeper (pun intended) by reading more into the theory and practice of archaeology. I have told so many people about Time Team & my grand daughter has been trying to decide should she be an archaeologist or a geologist because of it. Much as I still love watching them (though, annoyingly, More 4 often shows the same programme a week later), I can hardly bear to think there will be no more new ones. The programme certainly triggered my interest and my wifes interest in Archaeology. I made this ages ago and thought someone here MIGHT like it? Thats fairly unusual.. Good job I have the internet to log onto. 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. Such an approach was perfectly realised by Graham Dixon, the director of the first few seasons. Lets not overlook Public Broadcastng with its excellent programming, either). In 2014. 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. I have been binge watching on YouTube whilst laid up with a medical issue. these idiots decide to change it.i hope they are happy boring peaple.please bring it back. Time to leave! I take my hat off to them. very sad day that channel 4 are taking time team off the air.when time team started my husband and watch the show and we were hooked from then on. 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! I often wish you could all come to my back yard 1 acre) and help me find the many many pairs of secateurs buried therein. Please sign fans: 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. The original team brought an impressive breadth of skills to the programme. He only lives about 10 miles away. Years earlier, Sir Mortimer Wheeler did some Archaeology pgms on TV and they were always popular. It all got too big, too ambitious. They included a new presenter to join Tony Robinson and decisions to drop some archaeologists and cut down the informative stuff about the archaeology. Stewart surveys, records and investigates archaeological sites. In all fairness thank you C4 for having the foresight to do the programme in the first place but put the money saved back into culture, dont invest it in any more fly on the wall or the only way is type of programmes or you may just lose any of the credibility youve gained. We have watched it form the start and enjoyed it on various level hugely. my gosh, I am from Chula Vista Ca. 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. By the way I am 52, so I guess I am too old for channel 4, but tell my kids that. What happened to Stewart Ainsworth? It was just a ridiculous Channel 4 attempt to appeal to younger viewers, and failed dismally. Its December 2016, My Hubby and I live in Queensland Australia,we have Foxtel and have the old shows on a series link and never get tired of watching the Time Team. Now, many dislike Tony as he is renowned to be a woke leftist with an attitude, but as a presenter, I thought he did magnificently well. Many of us have watched Time Team for ages and have been educated (along with Tony) on the ins and outs of Archaeology and did not need another presenter to ask superfluous questions (nice though she was). I will miss Mick and Phil and Tony. The producers screwed it with the inevitable dumbing down and trying to make it a show for the 20 to 30 year olds. As Mick Aston observed the geophys and Time Team have always gone hand in hand. The changes proved too much, too fast, and viewing figures crashed to 700,000. 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. Whats wrong with a passing reference to global warming unless you are an eccentric climate change denier? Regarding Time Team's potential return, which was realised in 2022 after an eight-year hiatus, Ainsworth said: "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. 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. Ridiculous. Stopping TT is just another step in the dumbing down of TV and radio. He has worked on a number of archaeological sites in Britain and abroad. I wonder if channel 4 realise how far T.Ts popularity stretches and how informative it is for all ages. The dig has only found old bits of pipe and 1950s china, but it really does not matter, what matters is the program has inspired my children. Maybe after all these replies BBC4 may approach the original team !!! Arrr! [] One of best, very passionate three part on geology of Great Britain was filmed with Mr Tony Robinson who is/was excellent presenter. Maybe one day she will say sorry to us all. very sad day for us and the time team cast. Hundreds of pounds would be spent on scientific dating such as C14, with the results only coming back in time for a line of dialogue to be dubbed on months after filming had concluded. Maybe it will work with time team too. It will be interesting to see how the new Village Dig series comes across on TV. time team was one of the best progs ever. DigNation 20 tickets are now on sale: https://digventures.com/projects/dignation-2020/ Can archaeologist see time depth, just by looking? Executive producer Philip Clarke said the current series had introduced Miss Ochota and archaeologist Alex Langlands. but our family loves Phil. People who had their gardens dug up were very brave once Phil got digging, were their gardens reland scaped. Great news that it is ending now we can have even more programs about yobs drinking abroad, crappy makeovers, the life of white van drivers and buying houses that cost 250,000 or more. I agree with Brian, a petition might make Ch4 sit up and realise that we, the viewers, have got brains and like to watch programs with interesting and informative content. Not a Tony Robinson fan myself but he is part of the show. Tags:
This once innovative and ground breaking channel has started to descent to almost ITV 1 depths of dumbing down in recent years, it certainly isnt the channel that Jeremy Isaccs created anymore. My 100year old mother started,me on T.T.years ago & in turn my children and now the grandchildren watch ,ask questions and research . From the fall of TT on the minuscule scale, to the fall of a Royal house; loss of a battle; collapse of an empire. 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). TT changed how history programmes are made for UK TV for ever. Charlies comments would carry more weight if the spelling was correct. What is the matter not retro enough for you ! Instead Time Teams format was radically overhauled. Brought up 3 kids on it. An episode where a workplace expert was on stand by for structural shoring when common sense would have not wasted this kind of expense. Goodbye, Time Team, and thank you. I have watched Time Team from the beginning and love the earlier episodes and although its sad that its going it has changed considerably.Not the same without Mick his enthusiasm makes for great watching. We wish Phil, Mick, Helen, Sir Tony and the team well for the future and thank them for the pleasure they have brought us. Shattered. My absolute favorite TV program! 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 .. You were apparently watching a different show than we were. They tried to make it edgy and the thing I loved about time team was its lack of edginess? Please bring back Time Team with Tony Robinson. There is more than enough rubbish shown on tv so why axe a good item that entertains, explains and raises more questions. Is there any posibility of obtaining a copy of this and the program on the barge in the river Rhine. Im 78 years old. 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]. The ABC in Australia invariably saw fit to show very, very few episodes of Time Team, although numerous repeats were televised, and like a good book, they were enjoyed by a public that is hungry for family value in TV productions. Keep the show going its fantastic Ive been watching it as long as I can remember Thank you for educating and entertaining me over the years. I wish! 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 do not know he was pretty good towards the end at his archeology. Its amazing. It worked before, if you think about it. Probably just as well this is the last series, but as many have suggested, a move to BB4 sounds a great idea. There is such a thing as going on too long with any endeavor, and in watching this series the definition of too long is clear. Youve said it all, I totally agree! You have left us wanting more which of course is the best way to end a show. Please bring it back with all the original cast the new ones where good but I preferred the old cast and format. So why could it not continue on and evolve in 2013 ? I saw the same program, Justin, and I agree entirely! 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. A great series, I still watch old repeats and will enjoy them for a long time. does anybody really care what those idiots say surely it is what the public want that matters but no channel 4 has a foolllll running it.. heavan forbid we should have a great program T T ware we think and enjoy it plus it is great family veiwing and may i say also very interresting. It is to bad that the show was cut, there are so much more to find, discover and educate us all. And thank you Mick, R.I.P. In mid October 2012 an all-points bulletin was emailed to Time Team staff. I have missed Time Team SO much.. Series Producer and creator of Time Team, Tim Taylor says . 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? I have just realised that time team is to be axed by c4. Shots of him in woodland seeking out raw materials for a reconstructed axe allowed the audience to witness the hands-on practical process. Time Team was on television, but not of it. About the same time I discovered TT and became a dedicated viewer and have viewed all their programmes thanks to More Four. They managed against terrific odds.and that gave me a good feeling ! I THINK THIS IS A SHOCKING DECISION AND CAN ONLY HOPE THAT IT IS REVERSED!!! Telly Tubbies. I watch any that come on now.. saw one yesterday about the digging our of the 2 world war planes in the bogs.. As a teacher of Ancient and Modern History in Australia, I found the T.T programs a wonderful way to back up the various topics I taught. In my mind, one of the contributing factors to the programmes demise, were the increasing number of digs being done on behalf of professional bodies such as English Heritage, and local authorities. HATE all the crap American shows taking over the tv.
Much better than most of the rubbish we get now that there are so many channels chasing adverts & broadcasting ever increasing repeats. 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? Now I have no reason what ever to watch ch 4 now or in the future . 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 Ive binge watched Time Team on YouTube and up to S17. 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. 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. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVRe_gMtXNo. He trained as a surveyor before entering the archaeology section of the Ordnance Survey. Time Team! When did Mick leave time team? Maybe the BBC can resurrect this show. I and my husband have learned so much over the years (and are still learning): not only about archeaology itself, but about interpreting architecture, landscapes and social history, to name but three. Whats wrong with cozy? This comment by Peter Thomas is an excellent precis of all that has been said. youtu.be/rlKmrT. With Tony Robinson, Phil Harding, John Gater, Stewart Ainsworth. Please bring Time Team back. Like Concorde, should be rescued by someone BBC and revamped ASAP. 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 hope its not the end of Time Team. Towards the end of its run an average episode would cost around 200,000 a budget more on the scale of a small drama show in the eyes of television insiders but over 20 years Channel 4 pumped 4 million directly into British archaeology. Great format, educational safe family viewing. Off now to have a quick dig in my garden then on to Salisbury to stalk Phil Harding.intelligence soooo sexy. Very very sad. Yes, we all love the longtime archaelogists (sorry, cant do stars I would say they wouldnt like it either it is rather derogatory of their abilities!) And anyone who does not like Tony Robinson probably doesnt like Rowan Atkinson either, probably has not a read book over 30 pages in decades, and probably believes the Big Bang was what happened in their bedroom last night.. With only some strange earthworks exciting the curiosity of local amateur archaeologists to go on, the programme was flexible enough to be able to take a gamble. Nevis, West Indies: Part 1: Directed by Graham Dixon. The utterly ridiculous Dig by Wire (S19E01) would have put me off permanently had it been the first episode I had seen (What, helicopters dont work on Gateholm?). 03:12 EST 08 Feb 2012. All the repeats are still amazing, I also watch ime team every day without fail. You can change your choices at any time by visiting your privacy controls. But its also the fact that they didnt just impart accumulated knowledge, they made new discoveries as we watched. Poor. The team of Tony, Mick, Phil, Stuart, John, Carenza, Brigid, Guy, etc etc filled me with warmth and satisfaction. As late as season 18 the programme was pulling in a respectable audience of 1.1 million, partly because it had built up a loyal following, and partly because the team were still digging great sites. Such mass-production was only possible with more rigorous processes guiding filming. In addition, people are re-discovering the magic and history of their local areas and the wellbeing that can be derived from activities like archaeology. The whole catering & accommodation aspect could have been trimmed, without loss of such a wonderful program. Tony, Mick,and Phil will be missed. On the other hand, all good things come to an end. Just been reading all the comments, and a lot of sensible thinhs have been said, and a few stupid ignorant ones as well. I was disappointed with the change in format, it was like losing family. Sorry I dont know how to do this! I think weve brought it into the forefront of peoples attention. What Time Team once was in the beginning will never be reproduced. Just heard about the axing of Time Team what a shame! I agree .I have thoroughly enjoyed Time Team and was greatly disappointed when I switched on my TV at the usual time and found no sign of Time Team at that time or any other. Judged a misfire by Channel 4, it could have been the end. But the professor, 65, said that changes to the programme which have led to the introduction of co-presenter Mary-Ann Ochota and the dropping of some archaeologists had left him really angry. The villa is a tantalising prospect a grand building almost as big as Buckingham Palace. Perhaps the BBC could take over where Channel 4 has failed and get back to grass roots like in series 4-6. And this program had run its course several years ago. 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. He has since appeared in over two hundred episodes. I am incredibly disappointed at CH4 for axing a fine British programme. He asks the questions that some people must be sat in front of their TV asking. Wouldnt it be lovely if all teams could be like the Time Team? Innit? Loved Time Team and will miss it [endless repeats are not the same but I still find myself watching them anyway]. The Aussie fans are disappointed too that T T will be finishing up. Channel 4 has lost one viewer it wont get back. time team is the best progamme on tv. How about a petition to Channel 4 demanding its continuation? Take up the mantel!! Maybe the resulting reruns and you tube videos will be a template for all group endeavors. John Gater, Francis Pryor, Stewart Ainsworth, and Phil Harding. How amazing to see the history of England being unearthed. I cant help being captivated by the digs. Perhaps there were too many Roman sites with their predictable layouts. Time Team announces historic comeback with 2021 dig at huge Oxfordshire Roman villa that may be 'almost the size of Buckingham Palace'. I met Phil Harding a few years ago at old sarum castle, Salisbury, we had a lovely chat, hes a fab bloke. The money was well spent, and today only five Time Team sites remain unpublished a record that shames many UK units and academics. Who is Mary Ann & what does she bring to the table? 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." Available to view on 4oD (www.channel4.com/programmes/timesigns/4oD), watching it now provides a salutatory lesson in just how revolutionary the Time Team format was. Most of what I feel about the demise of TT has already been said here. The lesson is that if you have a slightly faded masterpiece, dont try and touch it up with the aid of novices. Sad to hear the show is coming to an end but hopefully repeat episodes will frequent our screens for a long time to come. Condolences on your chronic issue with clever people. I thought Channel Four was supposed to be a cultural channel appealing to grown ups, yet the dire Big Brother has been inflicted on us for over ten years along with other ephemeral rubbish. Best wishes to everyone ever involved with the show. However, they added: Intelligence, natural curiosity and a passion for archaeology is a must.. Really gutted TT has finished, and shame on Channel 4 for this decision! That way we still get our fix when we want to remind ourselves how good this series was. I used to tape the shows & send the tapes to my sister in Winnipeg who enjoyed them as much as as we did Phil & Tony were our Favourites . I share your sentiments totally. I owe a debt of gratitude to the wonderful Time Team ensemble. My heart goes out to his family. i believe everything has a lifespan, and that must include television shows. Watched it since the beginning, some great episodes and fantastic digs. Yes,he was often guilty of playing the devils advocate, but at such times he was the voice of many of us upon listening to yet another gigantic leap of hastily constructed faith or explanation of purpose for the sake of the less informed viewing massive. I WONDER what rubbish they will put on instead. The breakthrough came when Timesigns proved an unexpected hit. 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 love archeology, and it was so educational seeing how it is done. Totally agree. Time team is irreplaceable. 32. What that will show in Britain will start another flood of interest in archaeology with all local likely sites of archaeology being revealed.. Time team might be gone but something like it will be back pretty quick I suspect. This did happen in fact, but the show kept going with Mick Aston and (Sir) Tony Robinson always at the helm. Without any doubt whatsoever Time Team was the best show on TV and a giant amongst the crappy stuff we have to put up with these days such as reality TV shows. I loved every member of the cast and crew. It wasnt perfect but the catty remarks are uncalled for. , updated But when he returned to Britain, Tony found the studios equally intransient. T.T. This show has been a wonderful joy to follow over the years, and I shall so miss it. True, Tony Robinson did tend to upstage and steal a scene or two, but those of us who enjoyed one of the best programmes to ever hit TV, expected and accepted that. Im the guy who set it up, iv got the page on Facebook, Twitter and the main website that i run. And anyway, why would we want Channel 4 to keep TT? I loved Time Team in its early format but over the years got fed up listening to the boffins suddenly announcing a high status (Favourite phrase of TT) building eg temple or palace had been found after unearthing a piece of stonework that would get lost in my rockery.
