I can just imagine the TT crew getting together for raucous dinners or out to the pub, having loud arguments about British history and past digs. I'd love to be in the middle of it, sipping a pint while enjoying the chaos.

2:45 - can I just say? Major props to Mr. Ian, the guy driving the digger. I can't imagine the kind of skill and dexterity it takes to handle such heavy machinery in such a delicate manner as to not disturb the archeology! I'd be so afraid of digging right through something! Mad props to him.

Bridge is the ultimate hybrid archaeologist. Field worker as well as conservator. Badass woman much respect to that.

Matt doesn't argue with anyone... seems like a genuine nice guy

That exchange between Guy and Francis was gold. Love how Guy just absolutely called Francis on his bias, no holds barred, and Francis just laughed his ass off. Brilliant.

Hello all at TT. I have a 6 week old daughter. Your content is keeping me sane through the long nights. Thank you.

My grandmother collected broachs and if her home was dug up 2000 yrs later it would probably be concluded that she might have produced the on an industrial level.

Sunday evening and TimeTeam. All is right with the world once more.

"Is that a 'you and me' type pot, or is that a high-status nob's pot?"

Possibly the best quote ever from Phil or Time team in its entirety!

@415s30 5 years ago

"High status knobs pot" Precise archeological terminology from Phil.

Ive noticed that Tony always says hello and good bye to everyone and it never comes across as forced which hints that hes a genuinely good person

That feeling you get when you find an episode you missed

I've seen this several times, and still "If I had access to the most powerful microscope..." makes me laugh out loud. Classic Guy.

Francis "I think that looks very exciting!" His enthusiasm is infectious. Got to love him.

@beastshawnee 5 years ago (edited)

Phil is the “ Oilya looka tha’ dairt!” dude. He can get excited at a line of yellow ochreish dirt next to some slightly yellowish dirt. Because he knows what it means. Humans did something there...some time ago...

I don't know who I am, I don’t know why I'm here, All I know is that I must watch every Time Team episode ever made.

@amandachapman4708 5 years ago

Love the bantering rivalry between Francis and Guy.

@mnichols1979 5 years ago

I really love Francis's enthusiasm, but I kinda agree with Guy. Francis comes in with those goggles and it's always some sort of religious significance. I loved it when Guy said "I'm surprised Francis hasn't had us looking for some causeway already!" LMAO
