Time Team S08-E06 Rycote, Oxfordshire 

Join the rest of us doing the same thing. 😉 No shame in the Time Team binge watching game!

And now we get new episodes!

I'm on my 3rd go round.

That’s the wonderful thing about just discovering time team…HUNDREDS of episodes!!!

If it's any comfort, I found this five or six years ago, downloaded it all. But in the past several years of weird worlds, I've watched it at four more times. So, you're gonna have to work hard to catch up with me. I think I'm now on full 20-season watching #7 ... or is it #8. LOL

His way with words is magical. Wish I had that ability to speak in such a way. Of course I don't have a nice English accent either lol. From California so I guess I have the sufer dude bro accent. Idk haha.

@@Spartan265 me too!!!

What gets me is how..... The lines of the old walls and line don't match my modern eyes 😮

I find that this is definitely above the very good average of these Productions. I too enjoyed this particular property and finds.

RumMonkeyable This is a documentary about him put out by BBC. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-k3rnhSchQQk.html This is a random doc. on Capability Brown I found. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jUCatYtT838.html

Robin was a fabulous gentleman.

Robin's discovery was not unanticipated. The owner of the house confirmed she had already heard that a fireplace from the grand house was in a house in Thame.

Wiggy!

Indeed wot wot!!!

I would even enjoy just taking a stroll around those grounds. It's a beautiful place, regardless even of the wonderful old structures. Things don't stay so green most of the year anymore where I live in California, not like when I was a kid.

Lols, I missed that. Thanks for pointing it out. ^-^

"Arf!" That is an odd find...

Hahahahaha

All that digging they were doing, you'd think they'd appreciate having a dog to help.

Yup, we get lots of rain, this is why the UK is so green.

They get a lot of rain in the summer on the east coast here too, and we used to get a lot more rain in what is now our over half the year dry fire season here in California in the 70's. By the mid 80's the change was incredibly substantial though. It keeps getting worse too, about 60% of the entire county I live in now has completely burned in the last 5 years alone.

An calms your beating 💓

All we have are some weeds and a few really cute lizards. They do push-ups when they see you, like _"Arrgh, look at me muscles. Dun ye be messin wit me yer wee lassie",_ lols.

Dinx What do you mean “all” !? You must realise how historically important that privy will be in 100 years! I’m reading all about the history of domestic sanitation and it’s really interesting!!!!! ( remember the most important Viking find in York is a 1000 year-old poop!)

Brian Garrow actually there's an epsiode just a couple before this one during which they use one to look into a covered railway bridge to see what it looked like inside. They had just found it at the end of the three days, so they hadn't time to excavate it. So they have used something similar before.

After watching to the end I get that it wasn't really gone. Still, in just a merely farm house owned by my family for 350+ years, there's still drawings of all buildings and detailed information of everything happening with the structures during all those years. Not many mysteries or missing houses, haha. I must admit I'm looking through a new pile of papers every time I'm there, and sometimes I find some heartbreaking stuff. I'm a softie, and happily admit I find people's written thoughts and feelings more interesting than buildings.

Sounds like the family were seriously over-extended: complete rebuild of a palatial home, uber-fashionable garden by top landscape artist, race horses. too much bling for their level at court perhaps (no more royal visits). Should've stuck with their Tudor mansion and waited a couple of centuries for it to be appreciated again. But with those tastes, I doubt they're the ones that moved into the stable block. Anybody know if they had any real claim to fame or just inherited wealth and titles?

Props for not editing out your mistake when correcting it.

His real name was Lancelot. Honest. The people who employed him called him Capability . Wonderful history

Omg, either one of those could easily be a lot of pressure for a child, lols. Parents, please be more considerate when naming your children.

spear, spear, spire or lance _ lot from Lot, a character in the bible _ Lance-of'-Lot might be a kindred spirit of Lot or his adventures or other attribute _ a Mott Lobney cartoon based on such a character _ I know of an old castleage in dundersville a total ruin by now only a few decades old but amongst the remains I found archaeology in the form of a us insignia in oval metal on leather flap _ it was 30 years old rock house but the inhabitants had very old collections of items _ T4S

@@aylbdrmadison1051 Capability was actually a nickname that he encouraged himself in a bit of self promotion. He would go to survey a place and say '`This has distinct capabilities' and it stuck. His brand name if you like

He looks like a younger version of _Fast Ed,_ a 60+ year old man who used to hang out at the local park when I was a teenager, and he would take about 10 minutes to walk down the stairs that circumvented the tennis court. Fast Ed was cool though. ^-^

There is a Time Team - America but it only lasted for a couple of seasons I think. It's not as good as the British version.

​@@ginabarrows2454 Correct, I saw a couple, and they were so "Mainstream Academic"/USA, not even in the ballpark with the vast Creative Energies and Enthusiasm of the "Time Team". This is one case where "Britain had it X 💯 over the US" by Quantum Leaps. ... and being the Good Irish, American Girl I am, I would be nothing less than Authentic in my praise for the British and "Time Team". ie: It requires (🔹) (myI being in Conscious Thought + Applying Higher Mind), for the Lower Mind aka Ego Mind would be apt to begrudge the British and not mention the Value of their works, here.

this must be tthe 1st episode micks not in

Jason Muller I always miss Mick when he's not in an episode. He was the PERFECT offset to the character Tony portrayed. It was the essence of "Yin and Yang" when those two were in a program. Mick was knowledgeable, patient and measured, while Tony played impatient, pushy, and whining, a role Tony had to play as the "every man" asking the types of questions an impatient casual viewer might ask...

+John Doe I think this is close to when he had leukemia-I know he pops up later but his death was ultimately the end of the series.

+damaged05170 mick died after the series was canceled.

Janine alderete Huh..I know he was not on every episode-I thought it might have been illness-glad he got to know he got longer.

Do they need any morei have masses of it all over her I Washington USA 😊

Here in Washington USA

Learned about it funnily from watching the TV show X-Files 😊

@aussiebloke609 Oh , you're so sharp you might cut yourself. Any talk of a relation to Bloody Stupid Johnson is complete Librarian poo. Stone the crow. I'm still chuclling over your comment.

I was wondering of anyone would make a remark about BS Johnson!

Sandra Nelson you beat me to my BS Johnson remark

aussiebloke609 bloody stupid

@@peridot1454 ah, no wonder I couldn't figure it out🤔. Thank you.

Wow....now tell us about your other 65,536 great grandparents .....mustn't leave anyone out.

I'm sure they wash in between digs.

...and has this ever not been the case, for most Academic Professions? Especially in a country Obsessed with Social Titles that still has a Monarchy! (...and whose natives neatly fold the hard questions of the Country's - Monarch's thick history of Aggressions and Sadistic Actions to Challengers and Wives. I will go limp when ever I finally hear a local - native - English or British heritage individual - "Profess the fact-actions and claim responsibility for their Ancestors Plethora of Abusive Treatment to a host of Countries" i.e. The Brits been Bullies for Centuries and the Currents won't "Cop to it"! lol - makes me nuts how they ignore the bad and yap about their history - AND allow the Aristocrats their continued Arrogance. It's a strange reality for people that tend to be Liberal Minded on most all other Subjects... ... drives me nuts - irritates - and I feel the Crown owes Retribution(S) to at least 3 Countries and a host of Islands... They were not nice to my-People!

@@bethbartlett5692 thats true of any country. do you want the mongls to appologise to the russian people and the peoples of eastern europe for gengis and kubla khans wars? this is just silly revisionism.

Well the perps and their continuators are still around to apologize, and the victims are still hurting, so yeah. If you think the American Empire is bad (and it's horrific), it went to the best school and speaks the same lingo in more ways than one.

Agreed. He demonstrates zero expertise.

It's a bit like your research before writing this comment! Is this the first episode you have watched? i apologise for being sarcastic but there are plenty of notes with these videos already that have answered your question.

That's the whole premise of the show. They only have 3 days.

Some people do make that remark about Carenza but I don't even notice it. And tho' there are too many men commenters who express their 'non-appreciation'* to put it mildly of her, there are others who seem quite taken with her person (her whole person, I don't mean the ones making virtual cat-calls). Comme quoi, les goûts et les couleurs.... * Only Tony gets so many negative remarks but the ones about him are never as nasty. as for politely letting her talk over them, she has a fairly high level in the hierarchy and maybe they should have stopped blathering sooner so she could get them with the programme.
