Stewart is the unsung hero of Time Team to me. I love the rest of the team, but Stewart is like a secret weapon. That man's power of observation is amazing.

I miss Mick; bantering with Phil, mocking John Gaiters geo-phys, getting the big picture from Stewart and pottery details from Paul Blinkhorn. RIP Mick

May God keep and bless the soul of Ian the digger man. He could use the scoop the way Phil used a trowel. The amount stuff we wouldn't know without him is vast. May his contributors to UK archaeology never be forgotten.

I always enjoy Stewart’s contribution to the show...he is humble and usually is spot on.

22:10 I cannot get over the guy standing to the right of Queen Edith, rocking a pair of Raybans... Also, Raksha inspires me so much. It seems to me that she often gets the "it's a long short" trenches, and quietly works at them until she can resolve the confusion. Tenacious, smart and humble every step of the way.

Stewart was always a quiet, patient, thorough and rather under-sung, yet valuable, contributor on time team sites.

As a New Zealander, being from a young country with naff-all history to dig up, I **love** "Time Team"! I'm soooooo **envious** that British people can dig almost **anywhere** and find Roman or medieval artifacts!

I always look forward to these Time Team docs, they're very good

Tony: "'Morning, team! 'Morning, Phil!" Everyone else: [I-have-not-finished-my-tea-and-it-is-EARLY-glares at Tony]

It was fun to watch these guys age over the course of this series... I'm enjoying the reprise.

Phil and Raksha are THE BEST! I love Mick and Carenza, but my personal Time Team feeling is that those excellent archaeologists have found other dig sites, both in life and at rest.

Walkelin de Ferrers is my 30th great grandfather so this has been amazing to see his home come to life centuries later.

Walkelin de Ferrers was one of my ancestors. Always cool when a site has a personal historical interest.

"Will this drizzle stop?"

I always enjoy watching the time team, they’re super entertaining and fun and you always learn a little something when you watch. It was great to watch even with the glitchiness lol.

Love this series! I had no idea how valuable a landscape archaeologist was. Stewart is such fun to watch. Thanks all.

Season 20, Episode 7 - Horseshoe Hall (Oakham, Rutland) Love this show! Thank You for posting!

I’m directly descended from the Willian de Ferrier , he was my 24 the great grandfather

I got to stay in Oakham years ago. Wonderful memories!

The only thing I don’t like about this show is that they only get three days to dig. I want more!!!!

John and Stewart are always doing magic .

Glad to see Baldrick got his act together. Blackadder would be proud!

Tony and Phil keep me smiling and laughing

Phil's no morning bird. ....lol ...such a funny fellow. Miss Time Team. Great show.

I really miss this show. You are all incredible and so funny. Come back.

Fun watching the rare and expensive helicopter views and imagining what it might have been like for them if they'd had today's drones.

Old video, BUT, a nice trip down memory lane with Phil and Tony 👍🏻🙏🏻💗

Stuart is just the best .

With all those upside down horseshoes, That place is pretty unlucky.

I love Stuart. We wall want to be him when we grow up.

I have watched old Ian dig with his digger for a long time. No problem. He could dig a dime out of a sand pile without messing up the sand.

I love it when Phil act’s grumpy.

Tony: "Can we date these skeletons?" Tony... you freaking sicko...

I know, juvenile, but anytime I hear "..in Raksha's trench", I chuckle a little. Especially when he said "Raksha's perplexing trench"! " "I want to extend Raksha's trench because those curving walls really fascinate me". I died.

Another wonderful Time Team documentary

The editing in this period of the show (and television in general) is so funny to me. I'm guessing it's from the latter half of the 2000s into the very beginning of the 2010s, because that was they heyday of this ridiculously over the top WOOSH FLASH ZOOM SWOOSH camera work and graphics and it's just so delightfully unfitting for this very mellow, engaging show about experts bantering while digging up history.

English, not 'Saxons'. Rutland is in the Anglian/Danish settlement area of England, not in any specifc central/southern Frisian or Saxon settlement area. The English are, by definition, specific groups from Anglia, Denmark. Jutes founded England in 449 CE, likey with many Angles in their war bands and later, many Frisians and Saxons joined in. Saxons had more land in northwest Germany so they weren't as motivated to go to Britain. Angles and Frisians were more motivated, being more coastal and often island dwellers and facing flooding in the times leading up to 449. The later term Anglo-Saxons covers these various groups including Norwegians that settled in the north of England in the 500s and even some Swedes. Anglo-Saxon should more accurately be English-Frisian or Angles and Frisians. The English are mostly Danish and Frisian today and still live mainly in boundaries set by about 600 CE. The English today share 25% to 41% of their DNA with the Danish and the Frisians (hence, 'Anglo-Saxons'). The English average 46% Germanic-Scandinavian/Germanic (37% Danish and Frisian, with some 9% Norwegian and Swedish), the biggest block in their DNA. Celtic and French-German are significant in the mix but not the biggest blocks. In speech, Anglo-Saxon often gets shortened to 'Saxon, but it's misleading and wrong. All English are not Saxon, in fact, most aren't. This really needs to change and for a show such as Time Team, you especially ought to know better and do better. Maybe today with the population growth of more recent times and wealth in the south of England, maybe more English are of Frisian descent in the south and central England, but historically, from the foundation of England and through most of its history, most English are just that, Anglian. They can't tell a first wave Angle apart from a later wave Danish Viking by DNA. Why don't we ever hear that? Why do we only hear this often repeated stat that 'the central English test virtually identical to Frisians.'? Nice to know but Frisians didn't found England. Saxons didn't found England either, Jutes did, under Hengist, specifically, at three points: landing at Kent, first settlement at Tyneside, then another settlement down in Hampshire (mainland and the Isle of Wight). Hengist controlled the coasts up and across and most shipping lanes. He ruled for 40 years and his great, great grandson, Æthelberht of Kent laid down the first written Germanic law code. Apparently Widukind, a later ruler of Saxons back in northwest Germany was directly descended from Hengist. As well, I have a hunch that at least one of Hengist's line went perhaps back to Denmark after a time, then one of his line went up to Norway and founded some other prominent lines, possibly even coming back to England in the Viking Age. I think all of this is a fairly small group of elite power lines within the R-L48 haplogroup, criss-crossing and going around the coastal North Sea area over time and that in the future, AI will prove all this. R-L48 took over Scandinavia around 1,700 BCE and by 449 CE, Jutes were the most powerful North Sea group. From 1,700 BCE, the boats/ships, the culture, language, myth of Odin, farming, metalsmithing, warriorship, R-L48 drives it all, to Hengist, to the Vikings and the Normans and even later onto the colonies of Canada, America, Aus & NZ, etc. English is the tribal dialect of R-L48 people, not 'Saxons' specifically.

Thank you, I enjoyed this very much. I did cringe when I saw the horse shoes. They have let the luck run out. Maybe that's only an American thing.

An adventurer is Matt!

Tony "It'll be a garden feature". 😂😂😂

I miss this series. Please renew it!

At 22:09 There is a man wearing sunglasses on the medieval painting.

On their site, Oakham Castle has a section on Archaeology. They don't mention Time Team at all.

Had a lol 10:46 "Underturd Stewart's on his next mission" Keep your chin up Stewart, you'll be Overturd before long

41:15 Okay. That man is exquisite. Rob wins the hotness award. Dayum.

This episode is awesome.

Thank you.

This is where the Rutles came from!

Can someone tell me what illustration was on the background of the thumbnail of this video.

They seem to imply there were no Anglo-Saxon heirs after Hastings, but Harold had a bunch of kids.

Enjoyed! TYVM!

This site is one that requires further investigation in my opinion

Could anyone tell me if Oakum has anything to do with the saying, “move like smoke and/in? Oakum”?

If Phil cuts that power cable he will dig with increased energy and a smoking hat?

"Good morning Phil!" "😒"

Why waste time doing geo-phys in Phil's 1st trench? Somewhere, somebody should have made a record of the services so Phil could have taken proper caution, and the 2 blocked up doors in the existing building should have made it obvious that there was a building or a walkway leading to a building for Phil to find.

I've always been taught that horseshoes should be facing with the open side up to keep in the luck. Upside down lets your luck fall out. So...that hall makes me super nervous.

Seems like an unlucky building to me. I guess no one told them it was unlucky to hang a horseshoe with the gap at the bottom.

Listen to Stuart!!

Phil is like me in the morning. leave me alone!

Phil is having none of it. 😂

Niel looks like Karl from Slingblade. Probably just as bright.

Is this the Oakham where William of Oakham, famous for “Occam’s Razor” came from?

Could it be that the little axe is a weapon instead of a tool from a craftsman? The vikings had a similar small axe on a long wooden stick. It was fast (swift) and due to the long stick outranged a sword in distance and perhaps more important, also outranged a sword in speed. The shape of this little axe tells that it had another function than only chopping. It's also shaped in an angle on one side. You could hook it behind the leg of your opponent to unbalance him, hook it behind the (armored) neck and pull him closer to your own dagger or sword. Large axes where used for chopping wood and a craftsman would have used other or straighter shaped tools. Anyway, it's a fantastic show. It's just a petty that they only dig for three days. Imagine how much more information is hidden, perhaps just centimeters besides one of the trenches.

37:44: 'Half a plastic spoon and a ballpoint pen'...

what id give to have a beer with them all lol

would be nice to know what happens to all those diggings, special when they find a wall or something, after the Timeline team leaves. will it be all covered up once more? ore are local archeologists digging further? to make it, as it was said here, also more interesting once more to visitors? after only 3 days for sure all cant be over? 2012,THEIR horseshoe is being dated. long time ago...

I only watch Phil He’s the best

I never understood why, on large sites, the team never used LIDAR. It's been used in deep jungles and even demolished concentration camps

If this whole site was dug, since it concerns Edward I, I can see an awful lot of revenue being brought in from visitors..

@6:11 Former Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands! the left one!!

Yikes, 4:44, what is growing on Phil's cheek? Lol!

35:37 sword and martini guy!

These old episodes with Tony show that the new host has the personality and charisma of a doorknob.

Found the cable!! Everyone else: 🙃🙃🙃

Why are they (Tony) talking about a corridore - this was a Tudoe invention...

I want to look at the bricks of the remaining building.

Looks more like an ox shoe.

Thanks guys for the wonderful show. However on this one all the luck has run out with the horseshoes upside down. Maybe that’s just an American saying. Who knows? RIP Mick!

Wow and I mean. Food.

22:30 I didn't know aviator sunglasses were a thing back then. Cool.

I love England, ya'll go out to put in a new flower bed and find a bronze age settlement buried under a Roman villa.

yea!!!!! Tony Robinson!

Dude.... Freakin Phil....😂😂😁😁

Phil needs to get Tony’s barber’s name to square him away. We could take a collection up amongst the Time Team fans.

Why only 3 days? Why not 5?

Always three days,maybe throw in 4,or 5 days,👍

My family heritage mums maiden name is Ferris 🤩

Leave Phil alone! Let him enjoy his skullet.

Ohhhh Rob Hedge is yummmmmmmmmy 🤤😋😁😇

More booze and less Mick did not help.this show.

Mick is missed here. Never like Neil. Like Francis, both were total clowns always saying one thing, then back tracking whenever Tony didn’t look happy, always sitting on the fence. Think the term is both were wishy washy

How on earth does an electric cable end up that close to a nine hundred year old building lol.

The clay is the problem!! It can go through concrete, but not clay...really???!!!

Like Matt's B&B shirt: booze & banging.

Where in the f is David Adams.

Geo-fizzle strikes again. Can't remember an episode where they were really worthwhile.
