H-

He is a gem. Keen and ever so good-natured.

@@deewhitney9298 Cool

They're doin new episodes.. just seen an commercial for it.

I’m with you Karen , feel exactly the same .

@@nigelprosser5692 And I feel the same. "Respectful, genuine, and authentic." And very, very rare. "Love the team!"

I agree also. I am addicted. Love the team. They are genuine and respectful and fun and so knowledgeable. Thank you.

This is not reality TV. This is documentary.

Also, first Time Team for Helen Geake, I believe!

The distinctive personalities of each Time Team member is what makes the program so appealing. I cannot possibly choose a favorite, but I really like Paul Blinkhorn; he has a perpetual good natured smile on his face. .

@@lavillablanca I love his rumbling chuckle!

@@lavillablanca I will forever love Paul for the response he gave Tony when he asked Paul - a pottery expert - to identify a building. Tony: "And what kind of building do you think it is?" Paul: "... a big stone one." Gold.

@@alexd5028 Isn't she wonderful! I just love her commentary on things.

Was going to post the same thing! lol

I like it all.

What is"on an ambulance for 3 days"? I do not understand the 8:51 statement, is it the same a sick leave?

⁠@@user-hy7zb2vl3t I think she meant he was non ambulant (unable to walk) rather than on an ambulance. I had to correct the word back to “ambulant” three times bc auto correct kept changing it to ambulance or ambulatory 🙄

St.Phil-Patron Saint of Shovel Bums!👍

Seems like she would be a scary mad mom though. A trembling son staring down at the top of her raving 5 foot head.

I will miss Victor. May he rest in peace.

two new episodes are meh. the presenter is soooo low energy compared to Baldrick

@@TheShootist Why oh why do so many of these people expect Tony Robinson to be cloned. These are probably the crowd who complained about him in the original run of TT.

There always has to be one doesn't there?

And there was Tony's bleached blond period which, if it wasn't done for an acting gig, was ludicrous.

I think the chin beard is when he was also the Sheriff of Nottingham.

His beat nik years

He looked like a homeless person in the earlier episodes. I realize it was the 90s, but, he dressed like he couldn't afford clothing. God Bless Phil.... Daisy Dukes and all.

Tony's an actor if you look at him when he was on Black Adder another different look. looks change per character being played.

But Phil's hat never changes. =)

Phil had a number of hats over the years of time teams 20 or more series. He also changes the feathers and pins attached to each hat. One hat was like an Australian Akubra (think cowboy hat) and another was like what a re-enactment archer (think robin hood) would wear with a short crown and a pointy brim at the front. Blessings, Dot

This was my thought. Everyone's complaining, but almost noone thank them when they actually fixed it xD

After hearing her talk about how she was ridiculed for her comments, I had to go back and watch the episode again. I still don't understand why she was given such a hard time for it. Live TV is a daunting task. I thought she did fine for her first outing!

@@deetsy4jesus I agree, but I think it's just good natured ribbing among colleagues.

@@stannousflouride683 I'm sure it was.

I I hope it was good natured teasing. Must be so hard to be on the spot and feeling somewhat pushed for an answer. Some people find it very hard to say they don't know (at that moment), because they might dissapoint the person asking.

@@snazzypazzy I'm sure it was. Helen is so nice I can't imagine anyone being cruel to her.

Amen

Who were the two you were referring to?

​@@andrewroby6113Paul and Helene

Think of in terms of 1 horse power behind the force of swing. Sadly, they found it was a woman, and the bone slice was performed by doctors . Where she died on the table, they believed when they were trying to relieve swelling.

The days of Sun SPARCs and SGI Indys. I miss those days.

I'm glad there coming back to tv well RU-vid so I guess they'll be using RU-vid money so RU-vid production? Eh? Idk how it will go, but if the show stays the same I wont mind a bit. I was that one kid instead of cartoons and the usual spongebob episode I would love watching documentarys and those kind of shows like this or the best ones which I got my friends at the time 10-11 years hooked to watching was WW2 and Vietnam war documentarys lol. Also I will state my graduating year was 2012 so I also seen all the bullshit end of the world stuff 2012 came and went hahahah....but I swear I've learned more out of high school on RU-vid from reputable channels it's crazy. If you knew the right ones you could home school a child off of guided RU-vid videos and adding yourself in as a parent there to help guide and answer questions which means you also need to be competent. But I'm sure someone will have a very different look, most likely no one will read, or they wont read and just leave a random comment. Reply if you want to converse more on any of these topics or any one of your choosing (enter your momma discussion) just so you know it's up for debate hahah. Btw she's dead. Of cancer to the brain lungs and bones.

Looks to me like they did prepared yet another trench for electronics archeologists xD

@@MasterMatter Of course, like any source of information, YT videos require a sifting out of reputable ones. I wouldn't want to venture a measurement but for every bigfoot/alien/5g/etc. one there must be several that are verifiable and dependable. I agree, that a parent could use them to educate effectively but they would be better served as a jumping off point. A beginning from which the parent could say, "Okay, that's interesting. Why don't you go to the library and try to figure out why it is?"

I just marvel at how creative and skilled those early crafts people were. Primitive tools but they created such beautiful pieces.

@@justacrocodile9486 So true!

... and it was a woman!

article? Link to video?...?

@@aelyn2909 I think it was "20 years of time team". Where the crew discuss their favorite sites

@@aelyn2909 I'm sorry it took so long to respond to you. My life has gotten very crazy lately! The update on the skeleton discovered at Bawsey is given in their 2nd "Christmas Special" which aired on December 19th, 1999. It's a great episode that gives updates to several of their early episodes but the details of this story starts at about minute 31 of this video. It's a truly fascinating story. Enjoy! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9ybf4NQMKGk.html

Oh, after the dramatic interpretation of a sword blow aimed from a galloping horse, that comes as somehow disappointing. I was imagining an attack, as in the Uhtred series of novels by Bernard Cornwell.

I think the Indian police would pick them up.

HAHAHAAA. Low resolution??! To me, this looks great. I'm 52 and remember TV when the picture would roll, there were 3 channels, and they all went off at about 1 am. Spoiled indeed!

@@eoyguy And there was a special dial that you could use to make the roll a little less, but sometimes it would just go the opposite way and make it worse. Not to mention the white noise and the position you sat in the room actually affected the reception quality because the antenna interference. XD

Hahaha back in my day we had to walk up hill both ways to school through the snow and through hail and the tornadoes. And you didn't see us complain one time, you see Sonny. Hahaha.

@@TheAquaticMandolin Not only that but once a year when we were in school we all had to pick a peice of paper from a top hat and whoever picked the short piece was ceremonially sacrificed to the earth gods so the rest of us could enjoy a bountiful harvest.

And.... in black and white bc colour tv was very expensive. And, we also had an annual licence fee - when mum never answered the door lol.

why? driving is pig simple.. and most of us have been talking since toddlerhood.. are you saying you cant do two things at once? so thankful i will never share a car ride with you..

Can you please - for me as from Germany - post a link to the post dig analysis? Would be great

@@SuperRabbi1 I don't know where to find the post dig analysis, but Helen talks about it some in this interview. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TxL0dhDGHPQ.html

Yes, her first episode.

Just imagine, under the earth all over Britain there are the concealed traces of all those who lived so long ago. The remains of their homes, their coins, their belongings, their skeletons. From the iron age to the Romans. And everywhere they are just built over and only the archaeologists can tell - if allowed to dig - who they were and when and how they lived there.

@michael perry Phil Phlintstone

I love Phil, his great enthusiasm and his laugh which always makes me laugh too. He is so passionate about archaeology.

Usually they do a commentary on Time Team Official and have a link to the Wessex Archeology write up that gives a better description of the location. No commentary on this episode. However, Google is my friend and helped me out. Paste, Bawsey Ruins, King's Lynn PE32 1EU, United Kingdom, into google earth's search box.

According to another commenter, on another channel -- The ruins of the church are here: Bawsey Ruins 52.759210N, 0.462341E h/t Stannous Flouride

Isn'T this the first one with Helen? She looks rather young to me ;)

@@ricardograf6393 Yes, both Helen and Paul (as I found out in this thread)

Haha! I noticed that too. There was this big mass of people thundering along behind them as they trotted along. It reminded me of a scene from Monty Python with a crowd thundering from one interesting thing to another, but I can't find it. :p

Future Dr who episode site😊

32 :) I adore her!!!!

This was her first episode.

He has decided not to be part of it. His choice.

Timber and wattle buildings leave pretty much nothing

If it’s just buildings yeah, depending on region and type of settlement you can only hope to find shadows of walls or post holes, or limitation lines of buildings on different soil, rubbish pits and burn pit reactions on EM if it wasn’t destroyed by farming or land development. Even if markings can be found on topographic or aerial surveys, they could be all just vestiges, there also the chance that antiquarians disturbed and refilled ditches in haphazardly, destroying any dating evidence (or when people landscape their gardens in such ways that puzzle archeologists years later, like finding ww2 barbed wire underneath seemingly medieval still-standing walls and such)…

Makes it feel somewhat claustrophobic (and missing text at bottom of screen).

Not on my screen!

You and IMDB agree.

No it doesn’t! A rubber is actually an eraser in Brit!

No, rubbing out means to erase something, not what you're thinking 🤣

I don’t think you can. There are a number of episodes on Europe-only DVDs, but there is no “Complete Collection” of all 20 years/280 episodes of the show.

Blinking 😊

Nah just water the site an"poof" in Britain you get a relic church 😊

It was recorded live, then edited...

@@FrankJPSegura All shows are recorded live and then edited, so why make a deal out of saying it is being done live.

The digging itself was broadcast live. Then later an edited episode was made from the recording of the live broadcast. They did several of this type of broadcast.

@@Newman81964 They were editing for a condensed version that was shown that week, at a time when most people watched terrestrial TV channels in the UK and were all aware of the live broadcasts. I imagine no one then was thinking that we would be watching in 2020 and it's a bit late to do a reshoot, don't you think?

Incidentally people often ask why we get Sandy or Bill Oddie on some digs, one of the reasons was the live broadcasts when a presenter was needed at two different sites at the same time. The Jorvik dig was a good example of that. Not that Ms Toksvig needs any excuse to be on my screen.

He's right most of the time, but no one believes him lol

@@Libbathegreat :D

Seems an easier blow as a backhanded blow more force an control in a passing cut. A forehand strike I would think a larger area would be aimed for there is more time to aim😊

Thank you for supporting Time Team!
