Tony Robinsons role seems to one of a viewer who does not completely understand what is going on although logic says he must have a reasonable knowledge of the subject. I enjoyed Time Team and I will miss it Carenza and the later Helen Geake were the highlights for me there was always a sense of tension when you heard a shout of Tony not knowing what find theyd unearthed. Best wishes to everyone ever involved with the show. Please BBC take this show under your wings ! RESURRECT THE PAST! In all fairness thank you C4 for having the foresight to do the programme in the first place but put the money saved back into culture, dont invest it in any more fly on the wall or the only way is type of programmes or you may just lose any of the credibility youve gained. Thank you for educating and entertaining me over the years. I AM SO UPSET AT THE ENDING OF TIME TEAM ! hide. I never saw any of these shows until a week ago when I stumbled over them on youtube. What happened to Stewart Ainsworth? I hope that someone has the sense to resorect TT even if it is repeated from the beginning. Hi Serena, you can find a complete episode and series guide of all 230 programmes plus the specials on this website: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Time_Team_episodes Plenty more to come for you yet, if only More 4 would stop repeating the same episodes over and over again and show some of the others they could keep you (and the rest of us) happy for years to come. I am off to channel four to ask them what is wrong with audiences that are over 40, 50 or even 60, what is wrong with older peoples programmes? Maybe after all these replies BBC4 may approach the original team !!! Whats on at this afternoon? Pay per view TV? I am looking forward to last series and specials over the next 2 years.The end of an era. Ok BBC4, its time for you to take Time Team. Hi Alan, thanks a lot for your reply very helpful. I do agree, bringing the new blood in(an ex model, who I dont think was all that good looking) without consulting certain long standing experts, was wrong. !I have just retired and it would be perfect NOW. To all the people who wrote nasty comments on this forum about it, I leave you with this question why are you on this site at all if you didnt love it like the rest of us? The more who sign it the better, I have and so have my family.

There is such a thing as going on too long with any endeavor, and in watching this series the definition of too long is clear. The technology now at our disposal, and a new generation of archaeologists joining the team, is a fantastic prospect. British Television just one more nail in your coffin. From jan Marie jaser. The students became instant converts to the program.

And lets be honest, it doesnt get any better than watching absolutely great British television presented by the all time best supporting TV character, Baldrick. If you had to justify the value of television as a medium that can inform as well as entertain, Time Team would be the perfect example. I guess it was always going to happen when TV administrators who, judging by the few Ive seen interviewed, are challenged by words of more than two syllables come into contact with educated professionals. Is there any posibility of obtaining a copy of this and the program on the barge in the river Rhine. It presented an intellectually enjoyable show to the many mature aged citizens of planet Earth and COULD continue to do so if someone with an gram of sense would realise that this show still has enormous appeal for the right demographic. Through understanding and helping to preserve the past, and sharing it with a worldwide audience, we hope to re-engage with the enthusiasm that so many of our fans have shown over the years., Many of the original team are already involved, both on and off screen. Slower paced, Timesigns has Mick talking directly to the camera in a style more akin to a history documentary or Open University broadcast. She joined the frontline team of presenters, for the 2006 series and continued until 2010. Please bring Time Team back. I am 81 & have watched & enjoyed TT for many years. Working with the Fiennes family brought home the connection with Sutton Hoo and Ralph Fiennes character, Basil Brown in the recent Netflix film, The Dig. He said: The time had come to leave. Dont judge based on the rubbish you get over there. The explanation for the end of Time Team is that the people who run Channel 4 are all about 12 years old. What screwed up Time Time was poor scheduling two years ago and an attempt to sex up the show and this failed miserably. I am a mega fan of the show. The easy familiarity between the people on the programs has been such a contrast to the egos and prima donna attitudes you see in so many other programs. To me time team brought all facets of history alive to the ordinary person. While filming Timesigns, Tim and Mick regularly discussed other ways to bring archaeology to a television audience. He has since appeared in over two hundred episodes. 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. I love a list and now I can tick off which ones Ive seen in a suitably anal fashion. Shows that actually ADD something GOOD to the mix. This is the sort of Programme that would thrive on BBC 2 in conjunction with The Open University. Really gutted TT has finished, and shame on Channel 4 for this decision! The enthusiasm shown by the crews, the information, the chance to get a flavour of what made our country and the historical influences in each area. Admittedly, in the last year or so I have found myself increasingly disinterested in the programme. Vale Time Team, you will be missed. I once heard Mr Harding say Oh arr. I record episodes that I cannot watch on the day. C4 have put money into British Archaeology, when no one else could or would presumably, and as has been pointed out, much of that money went into post excavation work, which although not good TV is absolutely vital as far as each site is concerned. Stewart Ainsworth is Time Team's Landscape Archaeologist. A relative alerted us to Time Team knowing.my husband and I were long term enthusiasts. You wonder what kind of palsy comes over TV programers when they occasionally axe the best shows, shows with strong, solid substance!!! time team is the best progamme on tv. Yes very sorry to see TT go, Sky at night still going both are just as important to us here on Earth and I think it will be missed in the future though the recordings are still available to evertbody but the forum is lost, Grrrr channel 4. I am totally gutted to learn of the demise of TT. I WONDER what rubbish they will put on instead. This biographical article related to British television is a stub. People seem to enjoy them. youtu.be/rlKmrT. This little part of the world (so far from Australia) was the birthplace of my father in law. Self - Deya, Mallorca, Spain (1998) . It may also be heresy to say so, but I think many people who were interested more in the archaeology than the banter, found the relationship between Phil and Tony, to be past its sell by date. And of course who can ever forget Helen Geakes dress sense and haircuts ! Yes please BBC4 or anyone sensible Time Team will always be popular if you listen to Tony (yes I am a fan) Mick and Phil and Helen (yes I am an even bigger fan of these guys). Obviously I am not the only Australian (albeit English-born) to miss Time Team. A few days later news of Time Teams demise broke in the Guardian. I want to salute everyone involved in this show! The format changed and little was really seen of the dig. Phil is fantastic as he has always been. ! How right Mick Aston was. Like others I have loved TT right from the start and have always enjoyed it. Alan Gale is 100% correct. They seem to have replaced alot of the original cast for more easy on the eye team members, the new historian was a prime example. i say dont be too quick to make a stupid decision. 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. Yes, Phil can still shift the muck but check out his work on lithics studies and you might change your opinion. 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. Stewart Ainsworth (born 26 June 1951) is a British archaeological investigator who was regularly seen on Time Team, the Channel 4 archaeological television series. My youngest is 10 and has been a fan from as early as I can remember, he has his own dig at the bottom of our garden and a massive fossil collection. SAVE TIME TEAM, Closing in on 4,000 signatures already: http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/time-team-should-continue-on-tv.html, Hey guys just a quick update of a Article we have got up promoting the SAVE TIME TEAM Campaign. We are no longer accepting comments on this article. Watched it since the beginning, some great episodes and fantastic digs. I hate the way that today producers think all people are stupid and try to dumb down TV. I have watched Time Team over the years. If ch4 wanted to save money why not repeat them from programme 1 . I learned so much, as many others have, and admired the way it brought archaeology to everyone. Having been a loyal fan for 20 years it beggars belief at the changes made in series 19 without any reference to Mick. Harold Bush is lying. Im sitting here on the sofa watching the usual More 4 showing on a Saturday morning. Poor. Please bring together the old team Mick, Phil, Carenza, John, Francis and Stewart. I thoroughly enjoyed learning about the digs and finds discovered by the crew. YOU HAVE JUST NOT THOUGHT THIS THROUGH! Stewart Ainsworth (born 26 June 1951) is a British archaeological investigator who was regularly seen on . The roman barge in Utrect was particularly interesting and my son in Holland wished to see it. Ive got to say I think he handled the shows well. I take my hat off to them. The two new presenters just did not fit. Exploring the archaeology of the Roadford Reservoir, Devon, this came about after Tim Taylor approached Mick Aston to present the series. Yes, the interest remains for the show. It was an opening into a different world that gave me hope that THIS one can be sorted out ! Fond regards to everyone from the past on TT. Surely this cant really be the end?? I will miss my bit of kulcha. I think Tony is a good fit for this program. We NEED Time Team. The programme has no need for eye candy, no need to try to attract yuppies: archaeology is like genealogy interest grows (although not exclusively) with age. I dont think a Presenter is supposed to be a devils advocate. I entirely agree with the article it was definately the loss of Mick and the two new ones that ryined it for me and I have always loved it!! Thanks to all who were involved in Time Team in any way. Is Phil Harding a Phd? I had no idea it was finishing until yesterday and I missed the last viewing as I have flu and have been sleeping a lot.. OH DEAR ! Totally agree. Oh! And anyway, why would we want Channel 4 to keep TT? Because of Time Team I now want to become an archeologist. He has worked on a number of archaeological sites in Britain and abroad. Imagine spending an entire weekend with Time Team's Stewart Ainsworth Learning How to Decode the Landscape. Channel 4 should never have discarded such a treasure. 7 comments. I for one will not watch any new episodes. As a lowyal Time Team viewer from Australia, I am devastated. Do 5 day digs instead. Its one of those few things in life that meant so much, really looked forward to every episode. Who knows,but hopefully in years to come we might all see a reunion? Big Thanks Time Team,will never get tired of watching the shows,fingers crossed you can make some more. Not everyone takes. Despite their varied talents and backgrounds it quickly became apparent that the team had a natural chemistry. Think what we learned. The cast and crew were pretty obviously seriously digging their roles, (bad pun semi-intended sorry about that sort of). A terrible loss to the worlds of broadcasting and archaeology alike, with luck a pheonix will rise from the ashes. Only a fool would get rid of an engaging program like TT. just found TT on Acorn streaming. Learned lots of the history of the show from these posts but I dont know whether Ive seen the cleavage or whether Micks absence from a dig is because hes doing something else, on hols etc or because hes gone. and which would be the best way to alienate the people working on the programme. GOOD LUCK TO THEM ALL. Looky tha! For me, as a genealogist, an episode really takes flight when, in addition to the dig, Robin Bush, or Guy D., or Carenza bring out a mediaeval charter, the Domesday Book, or the A.S. I always made sure be there watching when it was on. Come on BBC, take up where C4 left off PLEASE!! I love watching the old episodes, the ones where there was fantastic camaraderie between the team, excellent and atmospheric music in the background which always complemented the era of the dig and the extravagant clothing worn by the team. And thank you Mick, R.I.P. At least we can watch past programmes on More 4 on on the On Demand. Some single episodes already . I am appalled. But Channel 4 has dumb it down, the last episode i watched was at Henham Park down the road from me, They found out nothing that wasnt local knowledge already. Maybe the BBC can resurrect this show. It will be sorely missed. Such a shame its being axed at a time its claimed the viewing figures are at its highest make little sense to me. Perhaps one of the other channels will see the folly of C4s ways and pick up the program before its too late? i never knew the show existed until last year 2021. any chance for reunions and a chance to interact as like conventions do here in the usa? Tim Taylor explains because weve involved Wessex Archaeology in our work for the last 10 or so years the reports are really good quality. Information about your device and internet connection, like your IP address, Browsing and search activity while using Yahoo websites and apps. There is a petition already, on Facebook, which is not the ideal place. Its put me very on edge not to know where Im up to and I think Channel 4 should be funding my medication for hypertension, blurred vision (tears I think) and severe withdrawal already before its ended. And key graphic purporting to show the significant shift in building alignments between two phases did not actually do that but simply repeated the original layout! I am thrilled that TT is returning in 2022, but saddened that Phil, Raksha and Tony will not be participating. I hate that its producers felt the need to change its face to meet the modern idea of glamour! Its a wonder one isnt constantly tripping over roman floor tiles and Anglo-Saxon wine jugs every time one steps out of ones door. Ive enjoyed watching all the archeologists old and new & think Tony Robinson is a great presenter. It must have been amazingly hard to pull together the locations, permits, and logistics, add the art, historical research, music and local involvement, let alone process the dig sites. I will miss it & Sunday afternoons will not be the same-Im all for a petition -there arent many programs on now that are educational & family viewing with no risk whatsoever of offending anyone, there are too many reality programs these days & that seems to be what the young people are watching. Hundreds of pounds would be spent on scientific dating such as C14, with the results only coming back in time for a line of dialogue to be dubbed on months after filming had concluded. Yes, Tony R was sometimes (often?) Perhaps in gthe future we may have a project for a future Time Team, Channel 4 where did it all go wrong? Thank you Time Team for all those wonderful hours of thoroughly enjoyable entertainment. I enjoyed all the archaeologists and presenter Tony Robinson. Such a shame a beautiful show as this is axed and they show such dribble as reality tv shows blah yuk. In terms of Cotswolds villas Time Team has probably covered more of them than anyone else. We are a large audience. Whatever happened, wed all thought, well complete the 20th series. anyway the technology is facinating and makes history come alive. document.getElementById("comment").setAttribute( "id", "a3c3c528f5d4ab9be4dd73fd43d71409" );document.getElementById("ac59ec51d8").setAttribute( "id", "comment" ); Latest news from our sister site, the-past.com. I note that none of them ever received a gong. That a pile of random rubble is a wall, a stain in the ground is a ditch and Tony Robinson is a supercilious pot bellied bore. Beautifully expressed, Andrew. I have watched TT for the last 20 years from my mid 20s. In 1994 January 16th until 2012.rip time team along with mick Aston You only have to look at the great interest shown over Richard III to realise that yes there is a market for a programme of this nature. A viewers petition is probably the most difficult to achieve. He joined the Royal Commission on the Historical Monuments of England (now part of English Heritage) in 1985, and was its Landscape Investigation Team based in York, England. I loved it. This comment by Peter Thomas is an excellent precis of all that has been said. Just a thought If anyone knows how to get up an on line partition, perhaps we could get enough signatures to make Ch4 sit up and take notice? He brought a wonderful empathy to Time Team.. his kind detailed replies to Tonys frustration always impressed me ! We will miss Tony, Mick and Phil and the team. I think Phil is a genius at being able to read the ground he is digging up. With a fantastic team backed by Keith Westcott and Martin Fiennes, local community support, the possibility of an ongoing legacy, and the guarantee of great archaeology, Broughton Castle ticks all the boxes!, Taylor continues: The Broughton villa promises to be one of the finest examples in Britain. During that time he deduced the towns Medieval layout. Bring back Time Team. What a wonderful 20 years we/they had. I was thinking, isnt it about time Time Team was on? When did Mick leave time team? [emailprotected]. I agree. What a pity we had to endure that young lady fashion model who merely read her script for a couple of episodes. I have missed Time Team SO much.. I liked the pictures Victor did on several shows which showed the principals in historical costumes. 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 will think of you when I am digging in a field this afternoon, that you once dug, and bury a memento in your memory. Requested by a commissioning editor to wear more colourful clothing Mick turned up in the most garish garment he could find as a joke, only to be told it was perfect. I want Time Team brought back. sundays seem empty without my time team fix. By I still watch the series on U-tube. So thank you time team I hope someone with a brain brings it back. Sad Time Team series being finished. 2017, My husband and I decided to get rid of our tv when we had 2 young sons. Yes, the original core team with Carenza, and then Helen Geake, were great. 200k an episode? I live in Minnesota and am anxious to explore sites of the indigenous people who lived and continue to live here. 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. We are headed to the UK in May from the US to see some of the TT sites. Shots of him in woodland seeking out raw materials for a reconstructed axe allowed the audience to witness the hands-on practical process. If they wont reinstate Time Team ,then why not release All episodes in a DVD BOX set . Spent time today discussing post-holes with a friend, others around thought we were crazy, but thats what Time Team was all about. Carenza Lewis, Stewart Ainsworth, Helen Geake and geophys genius John Gater will all be returning and are excited about the new sites. very sad day for us and the time team cast. The programme certainly triggered my interest and my wifes interest in Archaeology. I have not been watching the show for very long because it was not aired in the US as far as I know. (But not, ever, I would agree, grinning totty!) What about the good time team has done? I wonder how much is wasted on their wages. NON of these corporations do they think we are all idiots who will do as they as told like little children in school!!!!! Quod erat demonstrandum. Placing viewers at the heart of the action would become a Time Team hallmark. How very sad. C4, please bring back the previous and successful formatting of Time Team. I will be saddened to see Time Team go, but I agree that the production costs could realistically be reduced. I used to tape the shows & send the tapes to my sister in Winnipeg who enjoyed them as much as as we did Phil & Tony were our Favourites . My politics are not Tony Robinsons or Mick Astons, but both deserve warm congratulations for what they did for archaeology and viewers over two decades.Tony Robinson seems to be largely responsible for the successful populist formula, the zest and the humourand the succinct resumes to stop viewers getting flummoxed., He deserves a knighthood but presumably he would just wrinkle his nose. There were times when I would have liked to see some longer digs being featured and I would still like to see that, but it seems likely that it will not be Channel 4 doing it. If Tim Taylor or anyone at Channel 4 ever got the itch in their pants to dig it all up again (pun intended) it would be so awesome. VALE Time Team, a wonderful Viking/ Roman pyre is burning and we are drinking ourselves to oblivion. Prof Mick, great bloke and always so calm, Carensa made a lot of episodes more entertaining and TR a god of comedy and history. What a disappointment that BBC4 chose to cancel the series! It used to be on in the early evening at a specific time every week, but in recent years it has been moved to late afternoon with the start time changing by 5, 10, 15 minutes over the weeks making watching and even recording it more problematic. why change what works well and T T did work well . 32. Not me, says Arlene Phillips, To hell with beige stretch trousers - while you've got it, flaunt it: Pamela Stephenson on dressing like a woman half her age, King Charles hosts von der Leyen at Windsor Castle, Police: Urgent search for Constance Marten's missing baby, Shocking video shows machete fight in broad daylight, Putin spy plane before being 'destroyed by pro-Ukraine Belarus group', Gabor Mat: No Jewish state without oppressing local population, Amplified jet stream could lead to 'disruptive snow in places', Pupils take to TikTok as they stage protest at Shenfield High School, Putin orders intelligence service to find 'scum' who oppose him, Moment supermarket cashier is attacked at work in New York, Police search allotment sheds for Constance Marten's missing baby, Huge urgent police search for missing baby of Constance Marten, Dashcam captures moment two cars collide on a roundabout. It opened my eyes up to so much of the UK, in particular my ignorance of Roman settlement. I am sooooo sad that it is going and so is my family and friends..I would like to know what every one is going to do now our friends we see every week,I love the banter between everyone but no more. Who was the idiot that canceled it??? Thank goodness there is a myriad of viewers who appreciate the achievement of Time Team. Find out more here. I never made any money out of it, but a lot of my soul went into it. How amazing to see the history of England being unearthed. Tim Team has finally brought British history into focus for me.
