Phil harding accent is a black country accent useley west Brom near birmingham

Mmmmm twinkies.

Mick, like Phil, Tony and the test of the Time Team over the years, were like old friends.

Rip Mick and Robin🥺. I miss them both.

Tony called Mick “prof. Dumbledoor.”.😀

and with the new hat his accent has grown stronger

klein weich He has a new hat?!

@@dnr2089 you can see his hat hanging on the metal rail around the mine entrance. It's brown and doesn't seem to have an enormous stain on it so it seems to be new 😀

Well he _was_ knighted...

Tony is a great guy. From blackadder forward and he is a very good narrator aswell.

this known as knowledge,wisdom and culture transfer

Or at least a chest to pin it onto!

I don't know about a medal, give him the biggest turnip that ever existed.

It's "documentary", Orpah.

@@dennistravers8392 thank you! Already edited. 😊 and it's 'Opera', Bob. 😉

Wbat a couple of dumbasses

I know. I hate sll the computer generated voice overs.

Roads are interesting. I think Robinson is unwatchable

That is beautifully perfect.

Great to see Phil Harding again. Too bad Tony did not just happen to run into Carenza Lewis......

You know that friend has to be Phil.

You kind of know it’s going to be him. Oh how I miss that team!

What he modestly sets aside is the humongous contribution to human understanding of Neolithic man and flint tool making those seasons were. You know how many hundreds of thousands of times his field reports have been cited by college students writing papers? It's insane what that man has contributed. Just remarka ble

YES!!!!!!!

I totally relate (pardon the pun) to what you've said Marian.

That’s we’re all of my ancestors came from too!

I hate to break it to you but we don't keep getting recycled like trash. How miserable it would be never to having any resolution or pease. So tragic to be stuck in an ever revolving door. Ugh! The Word of God says:. And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgement: So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. (Hebrews 9: 27, 28). Now that's good news!

marian smith - My ancestors are all from Netherlands but I enjoy UK history! I think it’s because I’m a Canadian and we grew up learning all things British. 😊

@@lorrainemagarian7697 Speaking of retreads, how do you explain your obsession with a book whose text hasn't changed since the 4th century? Religion is fine for spiritual health, but we don't live in the spiritual realm alone. We live in a physical world formed by history, geography and culture. They fix you presence in the physical world. If you dont know where you came from, you don't know who you are.

I had the exact same reaction.

I think it is because he is like so many of us. He loves history and archaeology but does not try to be more of an expert than he is. He is enthusiastic but defers to the experts as needed.

I love Tony ive watched probably almost every Time Team episode twice over

Agree...He started humbly on silly childrens programmes...But The Man..I do not like...He is a leftist, an ardent supporter of communists, and traitors, were he American he would be a trump hater....and would be working to undermine government.

Henry Mann I think he is pretty awesome!

And best Baldrick. He knows his way around turnip.

Eh to, J.R.R. Tolkien....

I was just going to quote one of the road poems from Tolkien!

ROOTS? ORIGINS? AND THEIR BLENDING EVITERNALLY!

SNP1999 😁

ICENI way is probably a better translation since the Iceni Tribe ruled the area .

@@electrictroy2010 That may simply be a coincidence- of their tribal name sounding similar to the road name and having nothing to do with it. I have had that happen to me too often in linguistics before not to be cautious. However, since the meaning of the name of Iceni itself might possibly also derive from the old Welsh for oxen it is possible that the two are related. So whether the road was named after the tribe that was named after oxen or whatever, or was just named after oxen in an area coincidentally held by a tribe that might also be named after oxen are equally possible.

Sam Lee sang "The Wild, Wild Berry" on GOT....

Same! I got so excited when Phil showed up! This is only the second episode of this series I’ve watched but I would love to see some other Time Team members (i.e. Carenza Lewis, Helen Geake, Raksha Dave, etc) show up in other episodes!

49/short well the show was on for 20 years, so plenty of opportunities!

Where do you live now and what skills do you have. There are so many wonderful places to live but it's not cheap to live in a nice area. Were one of your parents British if so you can get a British Passport.

My ancestors came from Germany but I have zero interest moving there (or any part of the EU Tyranny). I am perfectly happy to stay in the free United States .

I hate to break it to you but no one lived any past lives. What a miserable idea that we would come back again and again and never have any resolution or peace. Who wants to be recycled over and over like trash - ugh! The Bible states very clearly:. And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgement:. So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. (Hebrews 9: 27,28). Now that's good news!

@@lorrainemagarian7697 your bible is a collection of fairy tales, just like that idea of reincarnation that you don't believe in. When we die, our brain stops and our 💓 stops. Our body decomposes and we cease to exist. It sounds scary but it's not as there won't be a 'you' to be scared. Just like it was not scary to not exist before you were born.

They don't want foreigners:. Brexit

:'-}

Yes soldiers who die in war remain forever young and carry no loads. They are free to soar. I was thinking about that earlier today and you reminded me to share it.

That poem brought tears to my eyes.

Did you know its history?

@@alanhowitzer I grew up being told (1960's/70's) that it was "the oldest Roman road in England" and was used to move goods and Roman troops. However I personally didn't know that it was still a dirt track for most of it's length and not a tarmac road as it was close to my house. In retrospect I had my eye more on the future than the past back then with the moon landing and the new colour TVs and watching Top of the Pops etc. I was surrounded by history and in all honesty took it for granted. I grew up in a town that was recorded in The Doomsday Book and just took it for granted. To learn more would have involved endless hours in the library and we were too busy with looking forward not backward. I feel completely differently now.

Yes awesome tree!

Yeah... WTF? False advertising?

We called it Cowparsley when I was a kid.

They look very similar. Queen Anne's Lace is wild carrot, and hogweed is also commonly called cow parsley; there are plants that look similar that are very poisonous, however, so if you're going to eat wild, make sure you know what you're eating. Queen Anne's Lace smells, naturally, like carrot.

Queen Anne’s lace is wild carrot, it’s edible and smells like carrot, hogweed is a toxic look alike, as is hemlock and wild parsley

Yarrow is also one of the plants that look similar.

I read that hogweed can cause terrible skin reactions. I'm surprised that they are touching it.

He is isn't he! He sang the theme in the Guy Ritchie King Arthur movie.

I have a teeny tiny crush going on

New jeans too!

Platform 9 3/4 is in London, I believe. ^^

It's green because it rains so much.

Tarar Support : Beautiful country with the most friendly people you'll meet east of the Atlantic but take good rain gear. I spent two weeks in England and only saw the sun four times.

Wherever you are, we are your history too. Our history is very much diluted and forgotten yhough these days.

Ours is mostly plowed under , Bulldozed , & paved over😒

Haha....soooo true😄😄😄

For me, Mithun, Timeline episodes are history lessons. Love them!

@@jakemoeller7850 absolutely. Top notch stuff just that Baldrick is the icing on the cake 😊.

Indeed!

It was fascinating.

Interesting!

Roger H Werner It’s actually true. I recently read a biography of Frost,. He was greatly influenced by Thomas when a youngish Frost lived in England for a few years.

@@fleetskipper1810it doesn't surprise me. I've been reading Frost for more than half a century but I only discovered Thomas quite recently. Frost's work is very much like Thomas'. Thomas wrote a poem that reminds of Frost's The Road Not Taken. If truth be told, that poem probably had more ingluence on my life than any other single phenomenon. Whenever I had a choice I nearly always took the choice that was the most unpopular or least selected. Not for any particular reason other than the iconoclast in me. I just liked being different, and different never made me afraid. It's tragic that Thomas died in a damn silly war. Imagine what he might have produced later in life. I just bought his book about the Icknield Way. Haven't read it yet. Wonderful writer.

From what I understood him to say, they felt it had supernatural properties....

Ziploc well, at least there is wilderness hiking in Oregon.

What part of Oregon? I lived in Medford/Ashland for a couple years, plus I love the coastal Gold Beach area. Gorgeous state!

The ridgeway is a beautiful walk not been there for a long time but one day

Where you can walk the Pacific Crest Trail
