Exclusive Preview
Added 2025-01-29 13:34:15 +0000 UTCIt's been a busy start to the year here at TTHQ, with some exciting plans afoot!
We're delighted to announce an exciting collaboration with the Faculty of Media & Communication at Bournemouth University, to produce a special programme looking ahead at our plans for 2025.
Please join us for the premiere and live chat of the show (which includes this month's Time Team News) this Friday 31st January at 7pm (GMT) on the Time Team Official YouTube channel.
UPDATE: Get ready to watch HERE: https://youtu.be/KV54I_f9DbE
Time Team's connections to Bournemouth go way back, with many appearances from Miles Russell over the years. Since our relaunch, we've welcomed Derek Pitman, Meg Russell and Harry Manley among the many BU archaeologists working with us on a range of projects.
We're excited to now extend the collab to include the next generation of budding filmmakers! Here's our behind-the-scenes video diary of the shoot, providing an exclusive sneak preview of what to expect.

As a college professor, I absolutely love that you included and embraced a university production team. And that lovely Mick Aston stuffy!
Polly Robinson
2025-02-11 21:03:58 +0000 UTCReally enjoyed this. Sounds like lots of great stuff coming for 2025. Well done to the Bournemouth students for doing such a professional job on filming and production. It looked really good.

2025-02-02 08:49:37 +0000 UTCGreat, can only make it even better
Paul Roden
2025-02-01 17:38:04 +0000 UTCIt was really great! With so much horrible stuff going on in the world at the moment, it’s comforting to know that our wonderful Time Team is still there for us all.
Bron Lloyd
2025-02-01 07:05:14 +0000 UTCI think it's a great idea. Experience and practice for the students, and more broadcasts for the subscribers.

2025-01-31 17:58:33 +0000 UTCWhat a great idea and beneficial to both parties. Hope we see more productions from Bournemouth!
Mak Wilson
2025-01-31 11:37:02 +0000 UTCYES-many of us can't be on X for ethical reasons, please let us know where else we can find you. Bluesky is great!
Christina Hooke
2025-01-31 10:56:42 +0000 UTCPlease tell us when there will be news about the new Sutton Hoo dig! So excited and hoping to join the lottery to volunteer!
Christina Hooke
2025-01-31 10:55:44 +0000 UTCHey, Mick was there, sitting on the couch! Wasn't saying much, though! ;-D

2025-01-30 21:18:26 +0000 UTCThe milling around "chaos" of a TV production is SOOOO familiar, and sometimes mystifying to outsiders who often wonder: do they really know what they're doing?? Yep, they sure do! I worked in TV production for years and every one of those aimless-looking folks knows what to do and exactly when to do it -- most fun is watching the action in the control room. Makes me homesick!
Gay Ludington
2025-01-30 21:16:52 +0000 UTCSuch a great idea! It’s fascinating to see the behind the scenes work involved in AV production.
Mary Lu Perham
2025-01-30 16:44:17 +0000 UTCExciting news and a big hello from Canada to everyone at Bournemouth University.
Patricia Amero
2025-01-30 08:50:22 +0000 UTCAs many local students as you have had help out at digs over the years it is fantastic seeing students on the media side involved! Gives them great experience and exposes their work to a worldwide audience.
Rick Doner
2025-01-30 02:55:34 +0000 UTCThe 3 Day Digs will always be around, but there are so many new ways to tell stories and Time Team has evolved with the times...
Brett
2025-01-30 00:55:25 +0000 UTCAlways good to see Emily pop into the frame...
Brett
2025-01-30 00:52:50 +0000 UTCThe next generation of Time Team production in the making, what a wonderful idea this is!! Mick would be so proud of everyone involved in the adventure of Time Team coming back & growing again as a family! Cannot wait for this years discouveries...
Brett
2025-01-30 00:50:39 +0000 UTCReally nice to see you working with the students but I'd be really sad to see the rustic barn look go. Cosy sofa chat feels like it's losing the time team family, ad lib feeling and going a bit samey mainstream
Moyce
2025-01-29 23:28:12 +0000 UTCI second this so that time team can get away from x
Darylyn Phraner
2025-01-29 22:52:02 +0000 UTCGreat stuff! Could we get a mirrored BluSky feed from @timeteam.bsky.social for us X refugees please.... ?
xSalty1
2025-01-29 22:04:15 +0000 UTCYou go guys!
Cynthia Whissell
2025-01-29 21:13:46 +0000 UTCGreat next step. Congratulations from Kentucky!
Thomas Murray
2025-01-29 21:11:21 +0000 UTCBrilliant !
Sarah Holloway
2025-01-29 19:53:46 +0000 UTCGoosebumps, haha- very much looking forward to this: a great start to 2025!
Martin Young
2025-01-29 19:06:16 +0000 UTCOh, Emily on camera. And such exciting news not only for us but also for the students. Can't wait for the video!
Melanie Pietruska
2025-01-29 18:06:03 +0000 UTCWhat a wonderful experience for all sides! Time Team gets to be in a real studio, and another generation gets to learn about archeology.
Mary Murphy
2025-01-29 17:10:58 +0000 UTCWOW! I contribute a relatively tiny amount of money to the projects, but I'm very proud of our collective accomplishments. Good job to the students and I wish much success in your chosen careers!
Mike and Pam G.
2025-01-29 16:45:26 +0000 UTCGood to hear everybody doing well. And good to see events abroad!
Alan McMillan
2025-01-29 16:33:01 +0000 UTCGood move Time Team, good for the team and for the students
Eelco Kruidenier
2025-01-29 16:05:04 +0000 UTCFantastic opportunity to collab and give everyone even more insight into this incredible work. I see even Mick was represented there, which got me a bit choked up. Thank you all!
Nan Sampson Bach
2025-01-29 15:58:41 +0000 UTCSounds good ! Going beyond the 3-day dig of the TV format seems logical, with openings on other projects. The risk is to loose sight of what makes Time Team special. I am not sure what it is, but my guess it has to do with the word Team.
Jacques Pictet
2025-01-29 15:54:59 +0000 UTCCould do with applying some deshake software to the handheld shots.
David Alan Jones
2025-01-29 15:33:02 +0000 UTCWill the podcasts be recorded here, too? Either way, it’s brilliant! (And the Mick doll on the sofa makes me happy. I’m sure he’s smiling on you all.)
Julianne Ture
2025-01-29 15:20:27 +0000 UTCThat was a really sweet behind the scenes video. The excitement and enthusiasm of all involved really came across. I'm so chuffed to have played a small part in it!
Nigel Sadler
2025-01-29 15:16:20 +0000 UTCSeems like everyone had a thrilling time. Can't wait to see the finished video!
Wessex-Wyvern
2025-01-29 14:27:57 +0000 UTCReally looking forward to this.
Bob Pockney
2025-01-29 14:25:17 +0000 UTCLove this collaboration. I'd love a Degree in Archaeology as I had no opportunity/money when younger. Age 71, perhaps I'm not the only patreon who would appreciate Time Team specials - a bit more formal than re-hashed interviews with original TT staff - a sort of course in archaeology for armchair amateur enthusiasts. Gosh, I'd even 'pay per view' - a nominal sum affordable to all, which would bring another income stream to TT.
Marianne Richards MSc.
2025-01-29 14:20:59 +0000 UTCWhat a great collaboration. I thoroughly enjoyed the enthusiasm and good vibes. Hope it can be developed further.
JUDITH COOKE
2025-01-29 14:14:51 +0000 UTCCannot wait to see the final edit!
Jason Mann
2025-01-29 14:12:07 +0000 UTCthis is amazing well done everyone! brought a little tear to my eye.
Victoria Fairley
2025-01-29 14:10:00 +0000 UTCBrilliant! Looking forward to this, and great to see the uni dept and students involvement. Was half expecting Derek to trip when he was walking behind in one of the pieces. Know I would 😁
Zoe Propper
2025-01-29 14:00:45 +0000 UTCWow!
Frank Pellow
2025-01-29 13:57:57 +0000 UTCThanks Debbie, we certainly do!
Time Team
2025-01-29 13:49:07 +0000 UTCUm, I think you mean “include” and not “exclude” in the last paragraph.
