We didnt do much history at school and we have all learned so much from TT. What a bore YOU are! They have onbly made a couple of mistakes, 1 was letting Mick go and the other was axing Time Team. well done on ending one of the best programs on tele. He should have stuck to presenting instead of trying to take command. I have enjoyed Tony Robinsons commentaries. I liked the pictures Victor did on several shows which showed the principals in historical costumes. Now I have no reason what ever to watch ch 4 now or in the future . Mary-Ann Ochota caused the Time Teams slow demise as she and the behind the scene executives strangled a Team that had worked played and laughed together over so many years making not good but great viewing. They should have known how appealing it would be. It is obvious to me that they were always working on their format and that Tony was the TV guy while the others were the science folks. Ive loved Time Team since day one, but recently Ive found it becoming a little too cozy. A brief history of Time Team Time Team 's genesis is a well-rehearsed story. For me Time Team was a cultural oasis in a desert of dumb and lazy TV. Yes, it became a bit formulaic probably inevitable when dullard TV producers are involved. 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. I didnt always like the reenactments but it was interesting when they dealt with diet and medical issues. I just love the way English history came alive & feel like the team must have lots of fun doing this job.I was hopeing to find them on a dig when I come over to visit .Lets hope the powers that be decide to bring it back or make a new show similar to it. Have only just found out that Time Team has been axed after 20 years and I am gutted. How many people can look back on a twenty years span of such a masterful contribution to human culture? Schooled in observational documentaries, Graham followed the digs as they evolved. And as for the Ooh.. Ah, that be cer monial, that be in the dialect of a village idiot just about summed up the whole package. So sad to hear that it came to an end. 20 years is a long time in television. I really loved the show and learned so much. What a great detective. We will miss his humour, his knowledge and his warmth. Thanks to you all. Only a fool would get rid of an engaging program like TT. When I signed there were 1,600 names. 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! Time team seemed to be excavating at the behest of large bodies like English Heritage and the National Trust, not some amateurs or local individuals. Its December 2016, My Hubby and I live in Queensland Australia,we have Foxtel and have the old shows on a series link and never get tired of watching the Time Team. Maybe the finding of Richard III might encourage a change of heart. The technology now at our disposal, and a new generation of archaeologists joining the team, is a fantastic prospect. look forward to some more american rubbish or more twits in big brother type of rubbish. As it was said at the start, they had to change it and then when it all went wrong blame someone else. What a lot we learned. You always felt a relationship with the team, they appeared friendly, very enthusiastic and appeared to be there for the love of archaeology. I guess the nearest feeling to learning of its ending was like being told that your solid mates of the past twenty years are all splitting up and moving abroad. For those people who wish to view old episodes back to day 1 surely all you need to do is put channel 4, possibly you may need to add UK.com, if overseas, into your search engine,register on line,confirm e mail address and then enter Time Team in the search box.You can even view Time Signs the original pilot series. Stick to Postman Pat, Time Team is too intellectual for you. I would also back the idea that rural people have the most interest as they can see the landscape every day and the changes on it. Channel 4 please think again you have made a monumental mistake! How outrageous to think that the 45s are not a worthy audience. Having said that, I hope this means Time Team DVDs will now be more available to those of us in the US who adore the show. if only someone could afford too get all thecast back and go on channel 2 or 5 any ware but not on 4 .. who ever made up there minds to get rid off TT I HOPE there bosses can see the error they are makeing.very sad to see it go. The writing was on the wall when it regularly began featuring cleavage shots of diggers and the dreaded re-enactments. A known anthropologist and archeologist ( Emmanuel College, Cambridge ), to describe and dismiss her as a former model is a bit unfair. In other words, archaelogy, teamwork, and interaction in that order. Archaeologists from Wessex Archaeology, working in advance of HS2 construction, have been excavating the site for the past three years. We are headed to the UK in May from the US to see some of the TT sites. This is no good for those at work or school. I AM SO UPSET AT THE ENDING OF TIME TEAM ! Us all. fingers crossed, The show never recovered from the loss of Faye Simpson in my opinion. There is a petition already, on Facebook, which is not the ideal place. It also produces some amazing factual programmes to expand our knowledge and it is extremely worrying that the latter are being sacrificed for moronic programmes like Big Fat Gypsy Wedding which add nothing to our cultural enlightenment. But the influence of Time Team reaches well beyond the British Isles. Judged a misfire by Channel 4, it could have been the end. I love time team because it is filled with such enthusiasm and love for its subject. What is the point of Channel 4, if not to do something different? Sir Tony I salute you and the team,its been a good innings! I was surfing the internet to obtain correct titles for some episodes that I recorded earlier. When did Mick leave time team? Headed by D Macall. May be he could be a Lord? I learned a lot about my British roots by watching and have shared the knowledge with my family. I download everything I can from the internet and watch on American PBS stations when I can find it. As for the rest of the Team, hats off to you for the great fun and excellent archaeology looking forward to a few TT specials. Perhaps there were too many Roman sites with their predictable layouts. How right Mick Aston was. Time team is irreplaceable. I met Phil Harding a few years ago at old sarum castle, Salisbury, we had a lovely chat, hes a fab bloke. Bringing history to life is far from an easy task but the combination of the experts knowledge, Tony Robinsons ability to act as the interested layman asking questions that the audience wanted to know the answers to, as well as the interaction and camaraderie between the members of the team I felt worked really well. Yeah. As Francis Pryor observed on his blog, in many ways the real question is what went right?. maybe someone will dig you out of the tombs of c4 in time. I watch time team on more 4 Self Show all 7 episodes Tony was constantly disagreeing with the archaeologists, and for some unexplained reason there was loud ballet music all but obliterating the commentary. What a disappointment that BBC4 chose to cancel the series! Close. 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]. In between programmes, E4 these days uses short clips of things like hillwalking and narrow boats to ridicule the interests of old people. I am team Ainsworth, so he would have to be brought back. Envelopes hidden at strategic points would set challenges along the lines of find the Medieval high street in two hours. Changing all the staff behind Time Team was a big mistake, but ending it is even bigger. It led to an appreciation of just how much information could be quickly gleaned from comparatively modest trenching. The comment by Peter Thomas is excellent and is a very eloquent summation. She was replaced by Helen Geake, Anglo-Saxon specialist. Series Producer and creator of Time Team, Tim Taylor says . John Gater, Francis Pryor, Stewart Ainsworth, and Phil Harding. Its one of those few things in life that meant so much, really looked forward to every episode. In my mind, one of the contributing factors to the programmes demise, were the increasing number of digs being done on behalf of professional bodies such as English Heritage, and local authorities. The team also included the likes of surveyors Stewart Ainsworth and Henry Chapman, illustrator Victor Ambrus, and fellow archaeologists Helen Geake and Phil Harding, and gradually the show. Time Time could go on indefinitely as long as it found a sympathetic home, and BBC Four would be ideal, their audience demographic would fit far far better than the current Channel 4 one, which is increasingly to try and chase the Reality/Makeover show market at the expense of original programming, and attract audiences that the advertisers prefer to exploit, rather than those with brain. I have offten mention to my husband, I wonder what the site look like after the the TT have left. [emailprotected]. 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). People understand it isnt treasure hunting well, we probably still have some way to go with that one! Tim points to Over 230 films that have been seen in 36 countries. Sounds ageism to me, isnt that against the law now? It brought the money and expertise to investigate sites that would otherwise never have been touched. But archaeologist Mick Aston has walked out of Time Team after 19 years after producers hired a former model as the programmes co-presenter. PLEASE bring it back. Some single episodes already . I am devastated to hear about Mick Aston.. What about the good time team has done? Its always sad when a long running and reputable series ends. Have to admit they are probably the main reason I now spend a lot of my spare time out on the Thames foreshore with the Thames Discovery Programme- enjoying it hugely, and probably have them to thank, they showed us that anyone can get involved. Its a shame yet highlights the offensively patronizing view metro-based TV people have of the general public. Steve Singleton So why could it not continue on and evolve in 2013 ? Because the major players were all quite old, and as you will have heard age is the surest antidote to youthful energy. I want Time Team brought back. I bought a couple of the DVD sets and have just ordered a Phil Harding coffee mug from Wessex Archaeology to keep the memories alive. The major players seem tired and cranky, and while they are all professionals and are trying very hard to be positive and upbeat, its obvious that they are trying, and that ruins it. Wasnt TT the only reason to watch Channel 4 ? Time team is one of the programs I love to watch. Oh Dear. This has been one of our few favourite programs; not only has it been informative, but it has been entertaining in the best-possible sense. (and its cost increases). 20 years is a great run for any show on TV. If this were a BBC programme, then this alone would be worth the license fee. Hopefully it will be picked up by another channel. 100% Upvoted. Thanks Julia and Lizbeth. Were not archaeologists but were not stupid either it really did feel like they had decided the audience was unintelligent. Think what we learned. I was thinking, isnt it about time Time Team was on? 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. Thank you channel 4 Thank you very very much . This is true I dont go to bed without at least watching one episode I would too love to get involved but at 67 a bit too old. It has become a staple in our family, even with the ABC running older series in high-rotation it beats the rest of the 6pm options hands down, even in repeat mode. Will there ever be a time when I wouldnt watch Time Team repeats? With Mick in his amazing technicolor jumpers playing father and patient teacher, fielding Tonys laymans questions, Phil as the eccentric uncle who could dig with the instincts of a terrier after a bone, John and his whiz-bang geo-phys, and all the other children hard at work in their specialties, the programme wasnt merely TIME TEAM it was TIME FAMILY. What can replace the jovial banter of all the dedicated team that gave us an insight to what was going on thousands of years ago. Mick mentioned that he had recently missed a train and, having a couple of hours to kill, decided to explore. Oh well, TV is doomed. To anyone who loves the Sunday afternoon history fix as much as I do PLEASE sign! I have watched every episode from season 1, some many times. Please bring together the old team Mick, Phil, Carenza, John, Francis and Stewart. 32. Thank you all at Time Team for a wonderful 20 years. It would be nice if Channel 4 admitted its error and reinstated Time Team in its proper format. The villa is a tantalising prospect - a grand building almost as big as Buckingham Palace. Its an opportunity to find new voices and should help launch a new generation of archaeologists, under the guidance and watchful eye of Mr Taylor! How very sad. I cannot believe that Mick Aston has died, so very young, I thought he would go on forever. Im tired of the idiots that run TV and Im ready for revolution.whos with me!!! They will be joined by new faces representing the breadth of experts practising archaeology today. We have it so easy in this day and age to compare to others in the past and we so loved it when Tony came to Australia and did some shows about our ancestral heritage,we all walk past so much and never notice whats in front of us,we miss so much rich knowledge right under our feet. 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. (Bog Latin). Channel 4 manages to produce some really rubbish reality programmes to titivate the youthful masses it hopes to attract. ABC altered the format marginally and called it At the Movies. , Cant we have Phil once a week digging a hole in a pub garden, please?xxxx. That is, the irritating new team members, the irritating clanging noise when Tony narrates and the increasingly less time spent in the trenches. He has since appeared in over two hundred episodes. This is the sort of Programme that would thrive on BBC 2 in conjunction with The Open University. but they wont last forever and young blood is always needed. I am American and Time Team is my favorite program. 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. Not all of us want mindless reality TV that costs a few bob to present. I have told so many people about Time Team & my grand daughter has been trying to decide should she be an archaeologist or a geologist because of it. There is definitly an opportunity for BBC2 together with The Open University to take over when Time Team ceases. My heart goes out to his family. Time Team: Created by Tim Taylor. I am a mega fan of the show. It was a formula that worked for the target audience and trying to attract a different audience by dumbing down the content was like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole. And of course who can ever forget Helen Geakes dress sense and haircuts ! Ozzy John has it right, Anne Marie put a wall in to TT and it showed in every show afterwards, when you see the fun they all had prior to he joining, she should be ashamed of her achievement in dissolving a great show. I feel sure we havent heard the last either. Pay per view TV? I am shattered by this news. (all good things must come to an end). He brought a wonderful empathy to Time Team.. his kind detailed replies to Tonys frustration always impressed me ! He trained as a surveyor before entering the archaeology section of the Ordnance Survey. My 100year old mother started,me on T.T.years ago & in turn my children and now the grandchildren watch ,ask questions and research . Is there any posibility of obtaining a copy of this and the program on the barge in the river Rhine. You can help Wikipedia by expanding it. very sad day that channel 4 are taking time team off the air.when time team started my husband and watch the show and we were hooked from then on. One only has to consider the creative arc of Channel Four itself, to have noticed that its a shadow of what it set out to be and frankly, those who run it now should be ashamed of themselves, relieved from duty, and prevented from working in TV ever again. Time Team return, Time Team is coming back, Following the successful launch of a fan-led Patreon campaign in December, Time Team has now confirmed what could be the first of many digs. Good riddance to Time Team; patronising in the extreme, and as for that prat Robinson leaping about a la Baldrick, reduced the entire thing to music hall. Thank you to all of Time Team for 20 wonderful years. Sad Time Team series being finished. He asks the questions that some people must be sat in front of their TV asking. . We only recently discovered the Time Team show and rush to ensure we dont miss a show. !I have just retired and it would be perfect NOW. time team has over the years discovered great things. It may not have been archaelogical perfection but it did make archaeology appealing to many and did digs that no one had the funds or interest to do. Please ressurect it someone soon. For years I had little interest in any of it but as time went by this programme made me interested. It is practically unheard of for a factual, specialist programme to spend two decades as the public face of its subject and become a national institution along the way. Im sorry to see that TT is folding though. time team r.i.p. As a teacher of Ancient and Modern History in Australia, I found the T.T programs a wonderful way to back up the various topics I taught. I will watch Time Team episodes as long as I last. My youngest daughter honed her love of history sitting with me on a Sunday evening watching Mick and Tony et al. Wouldnt it be lovely if all teams could be like the Time Team? So sad.

No other archaeology programmes on any channels tackle the wide range of sites and periods that TT did or inspired many to become keen amateurs or to start a career in archaeology. Lois & Tara, Australia Will miss the team, at least we have more 4. Ive learnt so much and enjoying every minuteo. I loved Mick and Phil and Stuart et all, picking on Matt for any rotton job. This is true Reallity Television. 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. Exploring the archaeology of the Roadford Reservoir, Devon, this came about after Tim Taylor approached Mick Aston to present the series. 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. And as others have said, perhaps it could be resurrected on BBC4??? Maybe it was better to end the show before they replaced the entire cast with celebrities from TOWIE. That way we still get our fix when we want to remind ourselves how good this series was. If I were an enterprising producer on another channel, I would start a new series that build on the fascinating skills of Stuart A. RIP Mick Aston Lets hope that somebody in control is also a fan and a compromise can be reached. I am incredibly disappointed at CH4 for axing a fine British programme. Like others I would like to see somebody else either bringing it back or developing the format. We do have money too you know. 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. To me time team brought all facets of history alive to the ordinary person. and Im so grateful to all the Time Team members for a wonderful 20 seasons. swinging camera booms. Time Team was the product (exclusively) of Channel 4 a commercial TV-only company that was created in the early 80s. The thrill of time running out also engaged viewers, and Time Teams popularity was rewarded with increasingly longer series. If Channel 4 wish to cancel TT why not take it to another channel If jonathon Ross, Parky and Graham Norton can do it why not TT, No more Phil! what fools these youngsters are. I know we have no Roman history, but there are thousands of of places that date back thousands of years. Now the format was safely established the programme was increasingly able to capitalise on its fame and access big name sites ultimately even Buckingham Palace. While the yet-to-air season 20 promises a return to more-traditional Time Team values, it was too late. Goodbye, Time Team, and thank you. Her role, as a foil to Sir Tony, was complimentary, and never as an expert. INCREDIBLE ! While Time Team unquestionably experienced problems, particularly in its final years, this much-loved show was an astonishing success, propelling modern archaeology into the public conscious as never before. . Manage all your favorite fandoms in one place! The Aussie fans are disappointed too that T T will be finishing up. With the archaeologists at the height of their game, by now the team was so confident of the three-day regime that development producer Jim Mower describes their appearance on site as like getting the A Team in. there must be a law t or anyone with an IQ of 50 and below, or the attention span a bit longer than a small herring. I read a number of the same comments over and over here, and some are quite valid. Time Team's Stewart Ainsworth on How To See Time In The Landscape. Biggest mistake ever! I watch any that come on now.. saw one yesterday about the digging our of the 2 world war planes in the bogs.. It may be in fifteen or so years a new Time Team will go digging in the archives of the defunct Channel 4 to explain how with the audience Channel 4 had for an entertaining and informative programme Which bright go ahead executive (IDIOT) came up with the Idea, if its not broken we must fix it. Such a shame its being axed at a time its claimed the viewing figures are at its highest make little sense to me. (Cardiff hillfort). The show ran on the chemistry among the original team, and failed to work as they left or lost interest. Tim Team has finally brought British history into focus for me. youtu.be/rlKmrT. Here in South Africa we ahave been treated to some series and odd programs which I really enjoyed. Far too many highlights to choose a favourite, but Ill always have a soft spot for the tone of Tony Robinsons voice when he explained that the sash-cum-swordbelt worn by Saxon fighters was called a baldric. My oldest son and my husband dream of being as good in tapping flint as Phil! Are any available at the moment does anyone know?

Spot on. I have always loved history but the subjects in school were dull. R.i.P. You wonder what kind of palsy comes over TV programers when they occasionally axe the best shows, shows with strong, solid substance!!! Its all happening ere Tony. Best of all, the cameras were rolling to capture the archaeologists euphoria as the geophysical plot emerged from a bulky printer in the back of the survey vehicle. i record all the T T i can i have brought T t dvd. Its brilliant and helps this Singapore based Brit to feel less far away. 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.
