God, I love the people on this show. I’ve tried to explain my fascination with Tony, Mick, et al, but my words fail. It’s like visiting with old, cherished friends whenever I need a fix.
Couldn't have said it any better! Especially in the last weeks after an arthroscopy of my left knee not being able to work, they did help me not to loose my mind. 😅 I did really need some friends in this time. Even if it is a rather one-sided relationship!😂
Two of my all-time favorite episodes are here, Speke Keeil and Mull. Besides wonderful archaeology, seeing Mick so happy makes them special. He was so in his element, so enthusiastic with what was coming out of the digs.
Of the bone specialists that appeared on Time Team, I've always found Jacquie to be the best. She doesn't talk down to people and she just seems far more practical than the others.
I love you all. You are such a wild collection of originals, everyone with a distinctly own sense of humor and I really could picture me having a met or a beer with you. Doesn't happen often that I see a single person I feel I could fit in with immediately - let alone a group of people. If you ever dig in germany you are welcome to come by for that drink anytime. Bochum for sure still has MANY places where you could find something interesting. It's in the center of the ruhr area and has a long history.
Sorry, Time Team Classics, but apart from the first third of this compilation, this really had little to nothing to do with Vikings…! I can remember at least two brilliant Viking digs that would have lent CREDIBILITY to the Title! Unfortunately, they were nowhere to be seen here.
@@kevinjohnbetts I find you very diplomatic (not always a bad thing). As far as I understand, Mull was before the Viking age, and the other one after. So, either the label is wrong (I can't think of a common denominator) or there was a mistake in the editing. Either way, it should be corrected.
@@jacquespictet5363 I can't think of a common denominator either. Possibly 'Early Medieval' (which is the term historians tend to use) or 'Viking Age' which would still be tenuous but I think people get that this covers quite a wide range of dates. I try to be diplomatic when it's easy to appear argumentative ..... and we know how arguments can escalate on the 'net. 🙂
Tony - is this a case of Vikings weaving their myths into the bible myths ? Haha come on tony have you had a bump on the head ? I'm sure your just saying that for t.v . Maybe the next dig can be the massive PAGAN temple under the Vatican, or Did they dig under the Vatican and put a temple in the hole ?
Gotta love Phil though, he doesn't have any time for such nonsense :D Tony: Phil, what on Earth are you doing mate? Phil: Whatd'ya mean what am I doing, I'd have thought after 14 years it was blatantly obvious. I'm opening a trench and I'm digging it. Well, Tony's gotta do what he does, it's a TV show and he's the narrator.
I love this stuff. I have wanted to ne a archologist since i was a child. I would be the happiest person in the world to be able to do the things these guys do
So would you leave it to the fate of the other 200 keeills on the Isle of Man? I'd rather have the historical knowledge it yields. But that's just me and I don't mean to appear snotty.
