So we manage to get something enjoyable, which at the same time is also useful. Also, a Presenter is not supposed to insult the experts he is reporting on. Deceased (19462013) They cant bring it back. There was a youthful energy to them back them, which was part of the attraction. With Channel 4 keen to attract more supposedly affluent viewers in their 20s and 30s, season 19 also tinkered with the format. History is a fascinating subject but I THINK THIS IS A SHOCKING DECISION AND CAN ONLY HOPE THAT IT IS REVERSED!!! Cutting some excellent TV and radio presenters in favor of younger ones. Never having been colonized by them I guess we in Ireland may have a slightly less reverential view of their civilizing effect on the native culture. It announced that after 20 seasons and over 230 episodes the programme was being axed by Channel 4. We use cookies to ensure that we give you the best experience on our website. I record episodes that I cannot watch on the day. In 2011 the production centre for the programme moved from London to Cardiff. RIP Time Team. Yes, Upton Castle was a bit of a mess in terms of style, but it held our interest. Look at Lee Bradys comment 23rd Jan. Theres a link for a petition hes got started. Time Team you have inspired so many people .THANK YOU. Big Thanks Time Team,will never get tired of watching the shows,fingers crossed you can make some more. And thank you Mick, R.I.P. Mick played a less prominent part in Time Team after an episode of illness in 2003, and in 2012 he left the programme after criticising a reduction in its academic standards. What lies under the ground of the countrys past. Very sad to hear Time Team is ending. 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. 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. I want Time Team brought back. Are any available at the moment does anyone know? Perhaps in gthe future we may have a project for a future Time Team, Channel 4 where did it all go wrong? Yes, that was a great one. 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!! I am appalled. In 1991 Harding took part in the series Time Signs, which was produced by Tim Taylor, who went on to create Channel 4's popular archaeology series Time Team. Harding was a regular on Time Team from the first series in 1994 until its cancellation in 2013. He appeared in an episode of BBC's Digging for Britain in December 2016. I am an ex water board worker and I still don t know where they obtained the patience to go into a hole in the ground and dig with a trowel. In terms of Cotswolds villas Time Team has probably covered more of them than anyone else. Shame!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ive always adored darling Tony Robinson since his days as Baldric, and Mick (RIP), Phil (gotta love him!) I could have watched it for another 20 years. 
Do 5 day digs instead. Just started to watch the latest series on C4, very very sad to be losing it soon. will take it on. 
But TIME TEAM managed the impossible. Time Teams legacy leaves much to celebrate. We have watched it form the start and enjoyed it on various level hugely. . A unique combination of expertise, enthusiasm and humour. Hated that glamour woman simply the wrong feel.. Very, very sorry that management mis-handling killed it. If those of us who have never met him mourn today, how much more must his friends and family be feeling his passing? 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. Thank you to all of Time Team for 20 wonderful years. Gutted! Yet despite bringing the past to life using the familiar ingredients of My husband said I bet you want to get Phill round now. and Im so grateful to all the Time Team members for a wonderful 20 seasons. Im 77 and was taught English history at boarding school, but Time Team has made it come alive and with so much meaning. 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. Just been reading all the comments, and a lot of sensible thinhs have been said, and a few stupid ignorant ones as well. Im sitting here on the sofa watching the usual More 4 showing on a Saturday morning. 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. yours MRS HILDA LESLEY CARRINGTON. 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. I saw the same program, Justin, and I agree entirely! If there had been a mission statement for the show during those early days, it would have been the democratisation of archaeology. I think the only things we didnt like so much were the cleavage shots and the daft re-enactments. Like others I would like to see somebody else either bringing it back or developing the format. How many people can look back on a twenty years span of such a masterful contribution to human culture? I had no idea it had finished. Being well aired on the Yesterday TV Channel Monday to Friday throughout the day, Time team proved that nothing I is really lost it us just covered up soil sand and water 3 cheers for the team ron atkinson. Do specials instead of a series. There was a early chemistry here of personalities, as well as expertise. 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. RIP Time Team. Please sign fans: Shades of the quiz-show concept do survive into early episodes of Time Team proper. I learned so much, as many others have, and admired the way it brought archaeology to everyone. 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. I for one will not watch any new episodes. My heart goes out to his family. Reason: we hardly spoke to each other and what we were watching on tv was hardly worthwhile. Tapped into the national zeitgeist, its stars were household names and at its zenith Time Team was pulling in audiences of 3 3.5 million viewers. And now our children and grandchildren watch the programme but not for long now. Phil Harding - Time Team - Shy but will have a pint and a chat with anyone. Yeah. Was it one persons requirements that brought extras into the show, persons not wanted nor needed, also not as talented as a walnut. Time to leave! Hopefully some other channel will take up the format eventually. What a shame to see TT let go. I have watched TT for the last 20 years from my mid 20s. TT was an utter revelation. I take my hat off to them. Time Team brought so much into my life, being bed ridden, television being a large part of my life now. Harding trained on various excavations with the Bristol University Extra Mural Department and other bodies from 1966; he has been a professional archaeologist since 1971. Lee. Im tired of the idiots that run TV and Im ready for revolution.whos with me!!! A thoroughly good bunch of people with a true PASSION for their subject ! Southern Gaulish Samian ware, or Green Glaze, 14th Century. Observing how so many, different, recondite specialty fields come together paleopalynography. Lee, viewer outrage worked in Australia with The Movie Show. Time Team has left a legacy that few TV programs can match and im sure that generations to come will enjoy. It would be nice if Channel 4 admitted its error and reinstated Time Team in its proper format. In relation to earlier comments concerning Mr Robinson, all I can say is that if he was patronising us then it must have been a residual echo of Baldrics most cunning plan. What a hero! 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. As it was said at the start, they had to change it and then when it all went wrong blame someone else. I am looking forward to the Village Dig series, when it eventually comes to the small screen. Time Team, the highly successful archaeology tv program on Channel 4 has announced a possible return to the trenches with a crowdfunding Patreon campaign to Time Team is delighted to announce that two new excavations have now been confirmed: a huge Roman villa in Oxfordshire, and an Iron Age settlement in Cornwall. Such a great programme. I will miss Mick and Phil and Tony. It was broadcast over TVO Toronto Canada. Philip 'Phil' Harding, FSA (born 25 January 1950) is a British field archaeologist. It is a great shame it is finishing and I am very sad!! The medal is awarded once in every three years for work on the Prehistory of Man.
