It wasnt perfect but the catty remarks are uncalled for. Suddenly Channel 4 was receptive to the idea of a major archaeology programme. An audience study in 2006 indicated that 20 million people watched at least one show that year. Interested in keeping up to date with the latest archaeological finds across Britain? Try local volunteering opportunities, if you can still get out in the garden and walk and talk and are willing to learn then it will be great, and you will make lots of new friends of all ages. Take up the mantel!! What happened to Stewart Ainsworth? Instead John Gater, the programmes geophys wizard (see CA 252), surveyed the field. What a great show. http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/time-team-should-continue-on-tv.html. I am devastated ! I wonder if some young Channel 4 TV executive is proud of his/her decisions. I recommend Current Archaeology to young and old as a way of covering all eras and defining ones particular interests in the subject. The programme certainly triggered my interest and my wifes interest in Archaeology. Mick Aston was a remarkable person intelligent and well informed but still able to get complicated concepts across in an way that was accessible to all. Poor second best but something is better than nothing. (all good things must come to an end). But thanks guys and I am pretty sure that someone somewhere will pick up the baton. What a wonderful 20 years we/they had. Pay per view TV? So thank you TT, you helped rekindle my interest in history and if Id been 40 years younger you would probably have been instrumental in a career change! So my husband looked for more info. When did Mick leave time team? Good bye Mick. I never made any money out of it, but a lot of my soul went into it. Lets hope that somebody in control is also a fan and a compromise can be reached. In between programmes, E4 these days uses short clips of things like hillwalking and narrow boats to ridicule the interests of old people. I have been planning to return for several years now for a holiday and to catch up with friends and relatives. I have watched every episode from season 1, some many times. If you ever wanted to check anything academically, you ran a brick wall which amply demonstrated it was seen by C4 as a Reallity show, complete with Dymock shots. Like Concorde, should be rescued by someone BBC and revamped ASAP. I will think of you when I am digging in a field this afternoon, that you once dug, and bury a memento in your memory. Gutted! My wife Ida & I never missed a program for years. Time Team you have inspired so many people .THANK YOU. If it doesnt involve foul-mouthed yobs eating too much, drinking too much or better still both, they arent bovvered. Youre right about More4 but try Discovery History which is showing what I think must be very early ones judging by the colour (and amount!) Maybe after all these replies BBC4 may approach the original team !!! Thank you time team, one and all, I constantly watch the reruns on the history channel here is oz. IT DID NOT NEED JAZZING UP. And of course who can ever forget Helen Geakes dress sense and haircuts ! I think Tony is a good fit for this program. Its a shame yet highlights the offensively patronizing view metro-based TV people have of the general public. DREADFUL ! By the way, if the executives mild revamp caused viewer figures to plummet, how come it was the programme and not those executives who got the flak? Not a Tony Robinson fan myself but he is part of the show. This little part of the world (so far from Australia) was the birthplace of my father in law. I share your sentiments totally. Tony was constantly disagreeing with the archaeologists, and for some unexplained reason there was loud ballet music all but obliterating the commentary. or anyone with an IQ of 50 and below, or the attention span a bit longer than a small herring. (and its cost increases). Somehow I feel her nearness when I watched it after she was gone. It opened my eyes up to so much of the UK, in particular my ignorance of Roman settlement. I agree .I have thoroughly enjoyed Time Team and was greatly disappointed when I switched on my TV at the usual time and found no sign of Time Team at that time or any other. Eight years after the long-running archaeology series stopped filming, Time Team is set to return with two new excavations scheduled for later this year. He is President of the Friends Of Epiacum, the Roman fort on the southern edge of Northumberland which he has surveyed and studied in depth. youtu.be/rlKmrT. I watch Time Team on Amazon Prime here in Phoenix, AZ USA every day!! This is a disaster in t.v programming where currently all you get is the banal reality of the likes of Toddlers in Tiaras .The Time Team over the years became like welcome friends into your home and you wished you could join them in the pub at the end for a beer. Channel 4 is a crude simulacrum of its original self and I agree that BBC 4 would be TTs natural home.Id love to see the old Time Team reunited Ill live in hope! Maybe the TT should be recalled for a one off programme and instead of digging things up they could bury the CH 4 production managers and all forthcoming rubbish they plan to screen, My wife is very upset about the end of Time Team she adds its like losing and old friend Please Please channel 4 its not to late to change your mind. They were like a 70s open university program with their hairstyles and clothes. Just discovered that this had been axed. Did you watch the episode of operation nightingale where the maimed ,psychologically injured soldiers from conflicts abroad found an inner peace and a feeling that they were no longer helpless in the world. The foregoing is an exhausting but entertaining read. I agree the lady they brought in for Series 19 was disappointing and that it does show how far C4 has come in the last 20 years. Faced with the loss of a stalwart the production team then proceed to sideline the other star of the show Phil Harding for most of the airtime, and we get all that Chief Investigator nonsense, coupled with the bright young things who were the televisual equivolent of the black death for the programme. Time Team has sometimes been accused of peddling stereotypes to the public, but anyone who has met the archaeologists will know that they are not cynical media-savvy operators adopting false personas for the camera. You clearly have no idea what youve done. I wish I could study with Mick Ashton. But for me the real genius is Stewart who can look at a landscape and tell you what it was like hundreds of years ago. I think Phil is a genius at being able to read the ground he is digging up. yes, I too have treasured every episode, and it has been the one programme of all channels that I never wanted to miss, even asking family to record it if I went on holiday, in the early years before I had a dvd m/c. Channel 4 obviously think we are all brain dead morons who need to watch the endless mind numbing soaps or the even more pathetic American rubbish that now dominates our screens. However, they added: Intelligence, natural curiosity and a passion for archaeology is a must.. There was a youthful energy to them back them, which was part of the attraction. maybe someone will dig you out of the tombs of c4 in time. In terms of Cotswolds villas Time Team has probably covered more of them than anyone else. Maybe one day she will say sorry to us all. Perhaps we could have a US/Canada version? Spot on. While the allure of such sites created a powerful television spectacle, it also marked a move away from the programmes humble local archaeology origins. Now, many dislike Tony as he is renowned to be a woke leftist with an attitude, but as a presenter, I thought he did magnificently well. An episode where a workplace expert was on stand by for structural shoring when common sense would have not wasted this kind of expense. I learn so much. After a career as a professional geologist I researched for a PhD at the Palace of Knossos on Crete. All I can tell u is that I was hooked. Ive loved Time Team since day one, but recently Ive found it becoming a little too cozy. Please bring it back with all the original cast the new ones where good but I preferred the old cast and format. Try Dig Ventures, an online crowd-funded Archaeology site. Sad days. A viewers petition is probably the most difficult to achieve. NON of these corporations do they think we are all idiots who will do as they as told like little children in school!!!!! The whole catering & accommodation aspect could have been trimmed, without loss of such a wonderful program. Or are we all to turn off our televisions once we reach 40? Whilst on holiday, I was very keen to spend a day or so, if possible, with the Time Team crew wherever they might be shooting. British Television just one more nail in your coffin. INCREDIBLE ! Tony Robinson seems an entirely likeable guy and does his presenting job with good humour and humility. Time Team Official 133K subscribers Time Team Teatime - Session 28 Wrapping up Black History Month and our exploration of North America's early European colonies, we're staying in St Mary's. Manage all your favorite fandoms in one place! and have watched it since the begining. 20 years is a long time in television. The cast will be sorely missed. Not all of us want mindless reality TV that costs a few bob to present. Perhaps if TT had included a Big Brother style segment of drunken, debauched university students or only dug up the gardens of minor celebrity reality tv show contestants theyd still be on the air. Never too late to register shock and disgust at the decision to axe Time Team which has opened up the hidden world of archaeology to generations. I am deeply sisappointed that time team is now defunct its one programme thst I really love I felt that I could learn a little bit about my ancestors in the uk, C4 the tv channel run by lack of imagination. I will miss Matt and Bridgit and all the others especially Phil. BRING BACK TIME TEAM PLEASE!!!! If Channel Four thinks TT too expensive there is mileage in the Return To format for some digs showing some of the original programmes and then updating on subsequent research. While the yet-to-air season 20 promises a return to more-traditional Time Team values, it was too late. I made this ages ago and thought someone here MIGHT like it? and the entire bunch breathed fresh life into the sometimes boring subject of Archaeology. There may be mosaics, a bathhouse and perhaps even temples. John and his team must have walked miles. The key participants deserve a rest at their age, and the joy obviously just wasnt there. But archaeologist Mick Aston has walked out of Time Team after 19 years after producers hired a former model as the programmes co-presenter. Ive watched since episode 1 as well and yet Im not gutted because these days you see a lot more archaeology programmes on tv as a result of their achievement. There are many pagan archeologists too. Thank you to all of Time Team for 20 wonderful years. Years earlier, Sir Mortimer Wheeler did some Archaeology pgms on TV and they were always popular. Sounds ageism to me, isnt that against the law now? but our family loves Phil. Miss TT so much. It was just a ridiculous Channel 4 attempt to appeal to younger viewers, and failed dismally. Not everyone takes change happily., The comments below have not been moderated, By Id say it was as his programmes/stories Time Team were canceled by BBC (see the websites: Channel 4 Time Team and Time Team: the rise and fall of a television phenomenon). Team Team gang were so funny with their understanding of each other and professional approach to their subject, their knowledge of it all and portrayal to the audience was so entertaining, and Tony added an open view to a usually flat subject, with his level headed approach to academics and gave it life. I have offten mention to my husband, I wonder what the site look like after the the TT have left. As an amateur digger, I envied TTs resources a JCB on call, geophysics, dendrochronology, C14 dating, DNA analysis. Mick, Tony Phil, Carenza Lewis, etc bring it back as there are no current programs that come close. To me time team brought all facets of history alive to the ordinary person. sundays seem empty without my time team fix. And now it has been pulled, left to the re-marketing of DVD, and the Internet. Also I dont know how many episodes Ive got left to watch and am dreading the day I realise Im rewatching episodes Ive seen before, though thats still better than pretty much anything else on TV at the moment. Always will be in my heart! I agree with Brian, a petition might make Ch4 sit up and realise that we, the viewers, have got brains and like to watch programs with interesting and informative content. Many episode are available free on veehd.com. I used to go into a hole with a size 9 shovel and spent nearly 33 years digging around obstacles like gas, electric, sewers, to name a few and I can assure you that I did not have the patience of some of this team. well done on ending one of the best programs on tele. Meanwhile Tonys role transformed from a quiz master to translator of all things archaeological for a general audience. Shattered. What a disappointment that BBC4 chose to cancel the series! To anyone who loves the Sunday afternoon history fix as much as I do PLEASE sign! Just been reading all the comments, and a lot of sensible thinhs have been said, and a few stupid ignorant ones as well. Only problem is the core members are getting on a bit, so no chance of it going another 20 years. It was season 19 that changed everything. I love Time Team and regularly binge watch have seen many episodes several times. Tony R told us that the fort was not connected by road What???? Very sad to hear Time Team is ending. Such speed was certainly not ideally suited to showcase all of the techniques available to modern archaeologists. The Mick Aston informative, involving wide range of age and expertise-or students out in the field working version, not the americanised teenybopper version as touted by c4 accountants. We live in USA. Just did the same as Leigh trying to find out when the next series is due to start. And the journey is not quite over yet. I got fed up with running and prancing, daring to contradict real aercheologists. They almost succeeded in ruining it until this present series.Channel 4 have betrayed the cast, crew and viewers. Filmed at Athelney, site of Alfred the Greats apocraphal burnt cakes, the site was scheduled, precluding excavation. By Jim describes this miscalculation as a death blow, which cost the show almost all of its behind the scenes staff. Having been a loyal fan for 20 years it beggars belief at the changes made in series 19 without any reference to Mick. A few years earlier Tony Robinson had joined a trip Mick was leading to Santorini as part of his adult education work for Bristol University. From Phils glee over Stone Age flints, Tonys wisely playful and challenging banter, Micks sage hand on the digs tiller, Johns gentle determination to get the best cartography the technology can provide, Franciss round house fireside mussing on an Iron Age mans joys in life and Stuart goes walk about so we can get the lay of the land and know our place in it was amazing, every bit of it. I am watching repeats on Yesterday but hate the constant adverts. The fact that TT was the only programme I regularly watched on Channel 4 I am very sad to see it go. It is the ONLY program I think worth watching in all the rubbish put on these days ! Stewart Ainsworth, Time Team member Influence beyond. Envelopes hidden at strategic points would set challenges along the lines of find the Medieval high street in two hours. What a bore YOU are! I have not been watching the show for very long because it was not aired in the US as far as I know. TT has inspired me to take up the challenge of retraining at the age of 67 for a second career in Heritage and Museum studies. I still enjoy my archaeology despite my age not being able to take part in the reality. Time Team is a victim of Channel 4s misguided quest for progress, and we hope that, in some form, the programme may rise like the phoenix from the ashes and take on a persona not far removed from the popular format. Some single episodes already . The more TV appeal execs tried to inject, the less people wanted to watch. I am 81 & have watched & enjoyed TT for many years. He only lives about 10 miles away. They will be joined by new faces representing the breadth of experts practising archaeology today. Above all we learned something new in each programme , not the usual rehashed information served up in other one -off programmes on popular periods. He said: We were very sorry to see Mick go, and he leaves an extraordinary legacy. Thank goodness there is a myriad of viewers who appreciate the achievement of Time Team. What is the matter not retro enough for you ! And as others have said, perhaps it could be resurrected on BBC4??? Tags: I have watched Time Team since day one, and until the last two or three series have always enjoyed it. Unlike many here, I think Mary Anne Ochota was a qualified addition to evolve and maintain the momentum of the series. How outrageous to think that the 45s are not a worthy audience. And so disappointed in ch4. Thanks. My wife was not well for several years & she found Time Team to be one of the few programs worth watching. of Tonys and Phils hair. That executive was not recruited from the intellectual highbrow Channel 5 was he? Nothing lasts forever, including Time Team. I was devastated to hear of the demise of this wonderful programme, but once they made the decision to bring in the awful Mary Ann Ochota as a co-presenter, the programme was doomed. It was this show that gave me the inspiration to study history and I will really miss it. (Then, of course, it goes straight to Hell). This was a fresh ongoing series with a warm and positive vibe, an interesting treat on TV. I now watch with complete interest in what is going on in the world of Archaeology and love everything about our great nations past. The villa is a tantalising prospect a grand building almost as big as Buckingham Palace. 100% Upvoted. I had drawn him into the subject a few years after we married but I had the privilege of degree training. Coincidentally, digging within a tight timeframe echoed contemporary changes underway in the profession. Victor is a great artist and bought sites to life. It needed to get back to its roots look at the early episodes to see why it was successful. I watched every show, every season, and I never noticed that Tony had an obsession with Romans. Disgusted, Mick walked out, explaining later For some reason they didnt think oh, wed better run that past Mick. Hes the archaeological consultant, he might have an opinion about that (see CA 271). I have been watching Time Team since its birth and can quite candidly say, I have never seen and enjoyed such a beautiful piece of television. Yes TR can be intensely irritating at times, but as the years have gone by I think his appreciation of the experts has increased and they have learned skills from him about presentation. Channel 4 has lost one viewer it wont get back. Back in the olden days(late 70s) I was accused of being an anglophile by the University of New Mexico professor who was trying to recruit me, an English Major, into his new American Studies department. I AM SO UPSET AT THE ENDING OF TIME TEAM ! Now I have no reason what ever to watch ch 4 now or in the future . I have loved Time Team since episode 1, and have never, not once, missed an episode. My dad worked for the National Park Service and I was born quite near Chaco Canyon[(a universally important archeological site) in a Navajo mission(Christian) hospital]. Perhaps if Chanel 4 had stuck to the old adage of if it aint broke, dont fix it we would still have had this gem of a program to look forward to enjoying for many years to come.. with shows like Strictly Come Dancing, X Factor, Dancing on Ice, Big Brother etc etc etc all being aired every week, Time Team was an oasis of entertainment and education in a vast desert of mundane TV programming. Biggest mistake ever! With Phil Harding also on board, three members of the future Time Team core were in place. Joining you at your virtual pyre and raising a glass to Mick Aston! It was broadcast over TVO Toronto Canada. While filming Timesigns, Tim and Mick regularly discussed other ways to bring archaeology to a television audience. Our family enjoyed Tony Robinsons performance, but what made Time Team great was Mick and Phil and Carenza and Matt and Stewart and Raksha and Mick the Twig and Bridget and Raysan and Victor the artist and the geophysicists and Robin the historian and all the others whose contributions brought together a cohesive story for a site from a range of disciplines. But it just goes to show how Time Team in ingrained in our family! 17:30 EST 07 Feb 2012 Im writing this having just had my daily lunchtime fix of a Tiime Team repeat on More 4. Please bring back Time Team with Tony Robinson. I would just like to thank Tony Robinson, Mick Aston, Phil Harding and all of the crew at Time Team for many years of fascinating TV. Their presentation skills are very good indeed and could develop even more if the programme continued (not with Channel 4 please); eg Tracey, Jimmy, Susannah, not to mention Raksha, Matt, Paul, Helen, John and Stuart, all of whom are young enough to take over from the elder statesmen who could still guest if they do choose to retire one day! TT was an utter revelation. Watched it since the beginning, some great episodes and fantastic digs. Screening 13 episodes a year, as well as live digs and specials the programme was ubiquitous. I regularly tape the programmes as it is shown on a variety of stations, history,yesterday, and channel 4 being some. I too am upset that this has been axed. However BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) is a state-owned institution from inter-war origins. I would be very interested in acquiring DVDs of the whole series to watch at my leaisure. 03:12 EST 08 Feb 2012. My own favourite was Stuart, to see him on his bike or wandering around looking at the landscape with his ability to fit any site into its landscape. At least we can watch past programmes on More 4 on on the On Demand. I remember John Gater and his long beard. Oh! Most of these posts hope that the Beeb could resurrect TT somehow, but AN ENORMOUS THANK YOU TO THE CAST AND CREW FOR THE FABULOUS YEARS THEY HAVE GIVEN US. C4, please bring back the previous and successful formatting of Time Team. We are saddened to hear that a great T.V show which entertained and informed is being axed. After reading, in his youth, a book about Horatio Nelson, 1st Viscount Nelson, and visiting the Tower of London, he formed an interest in the history of landscapes.[2]. We love Time Team and are astonished at its demise. RIP Time Team. As our first dig back, we were keen on a site that would produce amazing evidence, showcase the very best that Time Team can offer, and allows us to demonstrate to the full the latest technology like LiDAR and GPR, says Taylor. Probably just as well this is the last series, but as many have suggested, a move to BB4 sounds a great idea. Fond regards to everyone from the past on TT. He is 10. Just a thought/ John. I now live in Australia and love watching shows on my homeland. It is the programme really. if there is a petition please let me know.i would like to put our names down. We range in age from 8yrs to 82yrs and have loved Tony, Mick, Phil, Carenza, Helen, Faye, geophys John and most of all Stuart. Whats on at this afternoon? Desperate for a good documentary to watch over a late dinner, I discovered Tony Robinsons Time Team special on the Mesolithic and Doggerland. Immediately, I was hooked. Cliche good looking, middle-class presenters who appear somewhat dull in enthusiasm. From jan Marie jaser. This was the best educational programme that looked forward to every week and also all the repeats that were broadcast on more 4. It would be remiss of me not to mention that I was so sorry to read of the passing of Mick Aston. Perhaps the BBC could take over where Channel 4 has failed and get back to grass roots like in series 4-6. I agree with you . This comment by Peter Thomas is an excellent precis of all that has been said. Sadly,she passed away 2 years ago but before she went, she told me not to forget to watch TT. However over the years TT seem to have worked on sites that have been known about for a long time, but have remained unexplored for whatever reason. Pity arise Sir Phil???? I had to think about it before I realized what he meant. As late as season 18 the programme was pulling in a respectable audience of 1.1 million, partly because it had built up a loyal following, and partly because the team were still digging great sites. Yes as convicts and bloody proud of it. Never screened and reputedly lost in the Channel 4 vaults, this pilot captured a show that was as radically different to Timesigns as it was to later Time Team episodes. Karenza Lewis archaeological sex on legs. archaeology..is what my 11 year old gran daughter is looking into training for..shows like these are needed more. This segregates the viewers and leaves fans like me stuck in the middle and slightly upset at the notion that my favorite programmes have been taken over by people who havent got a idea. Have just watched the very last episode of my beloved Time Team And feel desperately sad.. Oh so true. Just imagine all our Patreon subscribers sitting down to watch Time Team and thinking: We made this happen!. Regards Peter Mulready Australia. How about a petition to Channel 4 demanding its continuation? My husband said I bet you want to get Phill round now. It excited the viewers, gave a good history of The United Kingdom, and made one waiting for the next episode, all due to the enthusiasm and clever programming of the show. Time Team went out of fashion because the rest of us got sick of being patronised by Tony Robinson, who seemed incapable of letting an entire episode pass without a snide comment or a sermon about man-made global warming. Without time team on the television the world of tv is going to be a poorer place. I found her to be frightening and tedious at the same time, and to this day I fast forward through the segments where she is featured. He worked for several commercial units including Oxford Archaeology and MoLAS (as was), until he started a career at L-P Archaeology. It brings together entire families and to my mind, is of huge importance, in that it makes us aware of who we are and where we came from and the way it was presented to us was magical. You can change your choices at any time by visiting your privacy controls. Much better than most of the rubbish we get now that there are so many channels chasing adverts & broadcasting ever increasing repeats. 2023. Tony used the rest of the Teams expertise to bring to life what was often regarded as a crusty subject before Time Teams arrival. What do we all enjoy about it? I will be saddened to see Time Team go, but I agree that the production costs could realistically be reduced. but they wont last forever and young blood is always needed. I learned so much, as many others have, and admired the way it brought archaeology to everyone. Tony was the right man to present, no doubt about that.
