RIP Mick Aston Failing that I can recommend looking at Google Maps satellite pictures of your local area looking for earthworks hours of fun! In 2005, Carenza Lewis left to pursue other interests. 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. What a disappointment that BBC4 chose to cancel the series! Come on BBC . Perhaps we could have a US/Canada version? I love time team because it is filled with such enthusiasm and love for its subject. I cant believe how much I have learned during Covid lock down because of Time Team. I think the writing was on the wall when the powers that be messed about with it, moving its base to Cardiff and losing quality staff and goodwill. I feel really, really angry about it. And a pint or 2 as well, EUTOPIA. 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). RIP Time Team. 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. Stewart has been interested in history since the age of eleven, after reading a book about Horatio Nelson. This show has been a wonderful joy to follow over the years, and I shall so miss it. People came and went, such as my favourite Robin Bush, but those two remained, as did their stamina and zeal for the show. The Team had a comradery like that of an elite military unit. Well it seems the bean counters got their way. Time Team turned this particular builder into a complete archaeological anorak and made one increasingly curmudgeonly old fart in a sweat stain hat the one person in the world Id most love to meet, hang out on a dig with and sink real ales with thereafter! So we manage to get something enjoyable, which at the same time is also useful. Especially ones which dig a site. I wonder if channel 4 realise how far T.Ts popularity stretches and how informative it is for all ages. A good friend of mine was a guest archaeologist on several T.T programmes and it was my good fortune to go along on production. Maybe after all these replies BBC4 may approach the original team !!! Also, the most recent posters may not have heard of Mick Astons premature death. We are saddened to hear that a great T.V show which entertained and informed is being axed. For years I had little interest in any of it but as time went by this programme made me interested. My cable TV subscription gives us awesome selections for history, science, and information buffs! I too wonder why they stopped it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I dont think I could stand watching Phils grotty hat for one more season. The programmes were sometimes slight and of course a three day dig is only a sketch rather than a full canvass, but Time Team enriched my life. We didnt do much history at school and we have all learned so much from TT. Was it one persons requirements that brought extras into the show, persons not wanted nor needed, also not as talented as a walnut. Spoilt in the end by Fixing something that want bust. Shattered. I have not been watching the show for very long because it was not aired in the US as far as I know. Just started to watch the latest series on C4, very very sad to be losing it soon. Axing time team is a huge mistake. I love Time Team and regularly binge watch have seen many episodes several times. Tony admitted a number of times that he is not an archeologist. I have only lately discovered time team and I love it I record as many episodes as I can and I think all of the cast make the show I was never interested in archeology but I am addicted now just watchedthe Salisbury plain one with the soldiers who are coping with life and one said that watching TT helped hime to relax and began to enjoy life again I wish that ABC in Aus would start at the beginning and replay them all. Cheers. Time Team's Stewart Ainsworth on How To See Time In The Landscape. It is sad to read the mechanics of its demise and, worse, to see it played out on screen. I was especially interested in the programme on Looe Island chapel as my grandparents once owned Looe Island and I had been there and walked over the chapel remains. Real shame, feels like Ive lost my friends! Self - Sanday, Orkney (1998) . Ive got to say I think he handled the shows well. It encouraged me to study the Neolithic, Bronze and Iron Ages. What happened to Stewart Ainsworth? I learn so much. 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. I was glued to the screen.. Thankyou for what we have ! I have always enjoyed TT but the latest series seems to have lost its spark! 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. We are a large audience. This is the sort of Programme that would thrive on BBC 2 in conjunction with The Open University. The lesson is that if you have a slightly faded masterpiece, dont try and touch it up with the aid of novices. Its interesting that Ch 4 is dropping a program on history and education, are they really dumbing down to suit a younger age group whose programs contain bad language smut and sex, bad attitudes and a large sense of self. Stranger things have happened! Buggering about with scheduling times has buggered many a decent tv series. Time Teams status as a staple of the television schedule also wrought changes behind the scenes. In a nutshell, that is the most relevant comment I have read on here. Anyone who visited one of their digs while shooting was underway will have seen the devotion it inspired in members of the public. 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. But once the old hands started to disappear the magic went too. So sad to hear that it came to an end. True, Tony Robinson did tend to upstage and steal a scene or two, but those of us who enjoyed one of the best programmes to ever hit TV, expected and accepted that. Im writing this having just had my daily lunchtime fix of a Tiime Team repeat on More 4. The last series was disappointing without Helen and Stuart who were replaced by people without half their expertise. 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. 32. 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. Far from a media concoction, the unique individuals on Time Team were filmed going about their work with an honesty and integrity that has seen the series heralded as Britains first reality television show. Take up the mantel!! And now it has been pulled, left to the re-marketing of DVD, and the Internet. 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. It follows so much what has been prevallent in recent years on Brittish TV and thats dumbing down. Somehow they know that the user is in the US and access is denied. We shall mourn the loss of TT in Australia, although the episodes arrive on our screens years after they are made, which means well be watching them long after the series ends were still with the old format so I cant comment on the new look TT. How amazing to see the history of England being unearthed. He is president of the Friends of Epiacum, also known as Whitley Castle, the Roman fort on the southern edge of Northumberland which he has surveyed and studied in depth. i like everything about it. It lost its way because of the producers. You can never run out of history in Britain. Time team is currently repeated on more-4 each midweek day and sometimes Saturdays, but I still miss fresh episodes and the original presenters and everyone should put pressure on c4 for more episodes even if it were one a month ! What a shame to see TT let go. Tags: So apart from discovering the female cleavage (along with Kleenex tissues) looking for Saxon pottery designed to hold bovine waste, expanding your knowledge of Saxon tea services as well as teaching both Vivian Westwood and Tony & Guy a thing or twowhat other skills have you learned since watching Time Team? But the influence of Time Team reaches well beyond the British Isles. I rue the fact that as a child we used encyclopaedias 20 years out of date. why change what works well and T T did work well . The comment by Peter Thomas is excellent and is a very eloquent summation. I was just looking for where any dig sites would be this year and discovered the program was being axed! my point in this is, why try to fix it if it aint broke change is not always as good as a rest. We cannot wait to share this magic with you! Please read. I have no idea which series I am watching, I think it must be a mixture as Tonys beer belly ebbs and falls and Phils hair waxes and wains, though Mick never seems to have changed. It took off instantly and has been there going from strength to strength since 2004. Just a thought/ John. Yes, Phil can still shift the muck but check out his work on lithics studies and you might change your opinion. After graduation she did some modelling, including shoots for Special K. She was the anthropologist on the BBCs Castaway Exposed and has presented a number of other programmes using her expertise. GOOD LUCK TO THEM ALL. Loved Time Team and will miss it [endless repeats are not the same but I still find myself watching them anyway]. Southern Gaulish Samian ware, or Green Glaze, 14th Century. Observing how so many, different, recondite specialty fields come together paleopalynography. Little surprise she became a history teacher. I live in Minnesota and am anxious to explore sites of the indigenous people who lived and continue to live here. I am American and Time Team is my favorite program. And anyway, why would we want Channel 4 to keep TT? The programs were never the same when Mick wasnt on. I have just realised that time team is to be axed by c4. RIP Channel 4. This programme could have run and run with the younger people such as Helen Geake, Brigid, Matt and Raksha taking it into the next 20 years. The key participants deserve a rest at their age, and the joy obviously just wasnt there. With my boys now being 8, 6 and 4 years old, we are still watching the episodes and in our holidays we try out some of the things weve seen on TT. Big Thanks Time Team,will never get tired of watching the shows,fingers crossed you can make some more. What idiot made this particular decision to cancel such an interesting and educational series! She completely ruined it, and led to Mick Aston walking out on the show. while the Facebook page is slowly building! INCREDIBLE ! This was highlighted by having a member of the public read out a letter of invitation at the beginning, posing the question they wanted answered. There are quite a few of us down here watching repeats ( up to 5 times) but even so they are still interesting. It is just so sad to read all of these comments, like a requiem for a friend. 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 started watching TT in 1998 (2 years after leaving school) and it showed that history can be not only interesting but also fun. 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. I am sure the essence of archeology would be attractive to a core audience once again. 100% Upvoted. He has worked on a number of archaeological sites in Britain and abroad. A viewers petition is probably the most difficult to achieve. Only problem is the core members are getting on a bit, so no chance of it going another 20 years. We, Yahoo, are part of the Yahoo family of brands. I watch time team on more 4 What that will show in Britain will start another flood of interest in archaeology with all local likely sites of archaeology being revealed.. Time team might be gone but something like it will be back pretty quick I suspect. I cannot believe that Mick Aston has died, so very young, I thought he would go on forever. R.I.P. All I can say is thank you to all at Time Team. I am gutted Time Team is for the chop, I love it!!! WHY? I feel sure we havent heard the last either. I still enjoy my archaeology despite my age not being able to take part in the reality. 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. Condolences on your chronic issue with clever people. Seasons 9-12 are often seen as Time Teams golden age. Congrats to Lee Brady for having the knowledge to set up the petition and we must (using the current idiom) cascade to as many people that we can to sign too. Thank goodness there is a myriad of viewers who appreciate the achievement of Time Team. People like myself really appreciate history coming to life as Time Team presented it. I read a number of the same comments over and over here, and some are quite valid. I hope its not the end of Time Team. I think weve brought it into the forefront of peoples attention. I never saw any of these shows until a week ago when I stumbled over them on youtube. This comment by Peter Thomas is an excellent precis of all that has been said. The cast and crew were pretty obviously seriously digging their roles, (bad pun semi-intended sorry about that sort of). the only programmes on t v seems to me rubbish what are all the staff going to do as they have been on the show for so long. What lies under the ground of the countrys past. Have a look again at the programme where Phils DNA results come in and watch Tonys reaction. I still watch the series on U-tube. and Im so grateful to all the Time Team members for a wonderful 20 seasons. About the same time I discovered TT and became a dedicated viewer and have viewed all their programmes thanks to More Four. Sorry I dont know how to do this! TT was an utter revelation. The more TV appeal execs tried to inject, the less people wanted to watch. It was my favourite show for many years and definitely, for me, left so many other scientifically accurate but boring-as-bat-poo documentaries in its dust. swinging camera booms. I was surfing the internet to obtain correct titles for some episodes that I recorded earlier. Interested in keeping up to date with the latest archaeological finds across Britain? It was so pathetic, TT definitely doesnt need to have its memory sullied by association with the puerile crassness of the modern C4. Also, a Presenter is not supposed to insult the experts he is reporting on. look forward to some more american rubbish or more twits in big brother type of rubbish. Perhaps the question should be not what went wrong with Time Team, but what went wrong with Channel 4. 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. We always joke about that, but I think its indicative of how people understand archaeology is a process. xx. I loved Time Team in its early format but over the years got fed up listening to the boffins suddenly announcing a high status (Favourite phrase of TT) building eg temple or palace had been found after unearthing a piece of stonework that would get lost in my rockery. I am an American who did real dirt archeology thirty years ago.I dug at at three historic sites and one protohistoric site in East Central Illinois. Some of the regulars have retired, some have moved on to other things, a few have departed for Tr nan g or the Field of Reeds. Apart from the marvellous people who made up the Time Team over the years, the way they used the magic of television to highlight features of the dig, overlay geophys visualisations onto the site, extend a fragment of a pot into a full representation, and so on, made this program an exemplar of how to produce truly educational television; and the way the passion of the Team members and their expertise was allowed to shine, coupled with a witty front man, showed that educational does not have to mean dull or dumbed down. THEY DESERVE BETTER THAN THIS. TT had a great following here in Canada. Channel Four seem to be missing a trick that gthe BBC would have undoubtedly have profited from by issuing DVDs of the most important digs over the years. Tony was the right man to present, no doubt about that. 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. The whole catering & accommodation aspect could have been trimmed, without loss of such a wonderful program. DigNation 20 tickets are now on sale: https://digventures.com/projects/dignation-2020/ Can archaeologist see time depth, just by looking? 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 my husband looked for more info. Inspiring stuff. Even after its star began to wane Time Team remained popular. I hate the way that today producers think all people are stupid and try to dumb down TV. Gee I feel gutted. What is the matter not retro enough for you ! Yes, we all love the longtime archaelogists (sorry, cant do stars I would say they wouldnt like it either it is rather derogatory of their abilities!) Cliche good looking, middle-class presenters who appear somewhat dull in enthusiasm. Nevis, West Indies: Part 1: Directed by Graham Dixon. Loved the history of U.K. Nothing lasts forever, including Time Team. 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. Their participation and enthusiasm clear for all to see. I loved every member of the cast and crew. Yes, that was a great one. Subscribe to Current Archaeology the UKs favourite archaeology magazine and like thousands of other people you too can get details of all the latest digs and discoveries delivered to your door, every month. Will miss them! An episode where a workplace expert was on stand by for structural shoring when common sense would have not wasted this kind of expense. 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. I WONDER what rubbish they will put on instead. It was one of the most brilliant Programmes ever on TV. 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. share. I owe a debt of gratitude to the wonderful Time Team ensemble. document.getElementById("comment").setAttribute( "id", "a3c3c528f5d4ab9be4dd73fd43d71409" );document.getElementById("ac59ec51d8").setAttribute( "id", "comment" ); Latest news from our sister site, the-past.com. Mick the Dig joined Time Team early on as our resident excavation supervisor and was personally responsible for Time Team's biggest ever hole - at Blaenavon, Wales (an honour that looks unlikely to be beaten any time soon!). As of 2010 Ainsworth has been affiliated with the History and Archaeology department at the University of Chester, where he is a visiting professor. I will miss it desperately and want to say thank you to them all.. What a fantastic 20 years Bye bye Tme TeamI will care for Phils hat .. In South africa we have seen so few TT programs and when in the UK on holiday I imediately check for surren programs to watch. here was atransfixing series, turning elitist subject into everyday knowledge for the ordinary man. It brought the money and expertise to investigate sites that would otherwise never have been touched. Piss-up and brewery certainly spring to mind. Time team came back as a clear favourite, so for one of the national conferences we decided to contact Time Team so that Tony or one of the team could come along and give a talk. Good job I have the internet to log onto. Not all of us want mindless reality TV that costs a few bob to present. 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. i say dont be too quick to make a stupid decision. I never made any money out of it, but a lot of my soul went into it. And the team. As an amateur digger, I envied TTs resources a JCB on call, geophysics, dendrochronology, C14 dating, DNA analysis. I ask other time team regulars get writing and see if time team can be saved either by another tv station or a rethink by channel 4. Gutted to learn it is no more. Can anyone help us with the contact? Im an Englishman, came to Australia as a 12yo in 1970. Thank goodness for DVDs of past episodes. 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. (Cardiff hillfort). I wonder how much is wasted on their wages. perhaps they could do a show that showed what happens as the sites are put back to their natural state. 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 am totally gutted to learn of the demise of TT. What screwed up Time Time was poor scheduling two years ago and an attempt to sex up the show and this failed miserably. I THINK THIS IS A SHOCKING DECISION AND CAN ONLY HOPE THAT IT IS REVERSED!!! It has made the subject of archaeology interesting and accessible for everyone and if they were still activetheres an interesting mound that desperately needs investigating at the end of our road. Thanks to all who were involved in Time Team in any way. Archaeology enthusiast from Europe and the United States have long discovered the series. 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. 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. . Stewart Ainsworth also stated: "Time Team has probably been one of the biggest things that has happened to archaeology for many years - to make archaeology and history accessible, and we need to keep that profile going whatever way we can." Its disadvantage was that it had no scope to include z-list celebrities to manufacture controversy around, and so it was killed. Bringing in that awful woman for the last series was the straw that broke the camels back. My wife was unwell for many years but TT was one of the few TV Shows that she got pleasure from. I enjoy his style of presentation. 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. Im retired now and would love to get involved in archeology at some level. They cant bring it back. They included a new presenter to join Tony Robinson and decisions to drop some archaeologists and cut down the informative stuff about the archaeology. So disappointed to hear the show has been axed. I never felt patronized and certainly never notice Tony Robinson sermonizing about global warming. The roman barge in Utrect was particularly interesting and my son in Holland wished to see it. Time Team brought so much into my life, being bed ridden, television being a large part of my life now. I learned so much, as many others have, and admired the way it brought archaeology to everyone. although a WONDERFUL outlet for the undoubted heroes, is not archaeology and not what I feel Time Team needs. Quod erat demonstrandum. Eat umble pie you are having a laff. HATE all the crap American shows taking over the tv. Its amazing. This series is in my opinion (and hubbys) a satisfying end. From jan Marie jaser. History is a fascinating subject but I now watch with complete interest in what is going on in the world of Archaeology and love everything about our great nations past. What do other TT viewers think? Channel 4 please think again you have made a monumental mistake! And so agree with all here who say that C4 is very sadly dumbed down from its early days and mission. I sincerely hope this will be remedied. With Channel 4 keen to attract more supposedly affluent viewers in their 20s and 30s, season 19 also tinkered with the format. I have watched and enjoyed Time Team for many years I am one of the oldies watching but my children grandchildren and great grandchildren are all avid viewers I feel the makers of this program had no perception of its impact on different generations when they set out to close the program down. When SBS decided to bring new hip young presenters in to replace the two experienced, knowledgeable and popular presenters who had made it from 1986 to 2004, and made it an institution, the ratings plummeted, and the new format was canned after 2 years. What a pity we had to endure that young lady fashion model who merely read her script for a couple of episodes. thank god for the repeats. But when he returned to Britain, Tony found the studios equally intransient. There are only about a thousand signatures so far.Personally, although I have signed, I dont think it will do much good. So, Ch4 why did you do away with this gem of a program? Much better than most of the rubbish we get now that there are so many channels chasing adverts & broadcasting ever increasing repeats. Shots of him in woodland seeking out raw materials for a reconstructed axe allowed the audience to witness the hands-on practical process. When not filming, Stewart also works as an investigator and project manager for English Heritage. We will suffer forever without the seasonal hours of archaeology, in all its forms. You can help Wikipedia by expanding it. And of course who can ever forget Helen Geakes dress sense and haircuts ! We also miss Stuart very much. Schooled in observational documentaries, Graham followed the digs as they evolved. So sad. Stewart Ainsworth was born on 26 June, 1951 in Yorkshire, United Kingdom, is a British archaeological investigator. Whilst on youtube, also check out dig ventures; another fantastic project with another familiar face. This would be the only way of successfully reincarnating Time Team and fixing your pathetic and ignorant and unsuccessful changes. 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. Mick mentioned that he had recently missed a train and, having a couple of hours to kill, decided to explore. The obvious situation is that if it kept to the original cast ( which it did not ), then there would be a problem immediately when someone left, or passed on. Somehow I feel her nearness when I watched it after she was gone. And Ive always thought tony was perfectly great as the show presenter, interested and fun, a joy to watch.
