2024-04-08 00:21:13 +0000 UTCFun dig, but is this a shameless ad for cowboy hats? Time Team ought to remain above such things. Stetson Bulova does a lot of good works, but the product has political overtones for many.

2024-04-07 19:47:36 +0000 UTCReally enjoying this dig. Modbury is a great site and there's so much going on all the time - very exciting! It's lovely to see the old stalwarts and the newer TT members working so well together and Gus does such a good job presenting. Really looking forward to episode 3 tonight.

2024-04-07 16:11:01 +0000 UTCHonestly, I had almost forgotten this dig was still in the works. I've just watched day 2 and it's so chaotic, but also Time Team gold!

2024-04-06 04:32:21 +0000 UTCYay! But I’m going to wait and watch all 3 on Sunday. Hopefully I can wait 😃
Peg Warnock
2024-04-06 00:07:27 +0000 UTCReally enjoyed the episode - just like old times with the new just adding to the flavour :)
Julie Ball
2024-04-05 18:20:28 +0000 UTCClassic Time Team. All the elements are there, plus a lot of new tech. Can’t wait to see more on Modbury.

2024-04-05 09:19:10 +0000 UTCI love episodes that include the community and children. Such a golden teaching opportunity to enthuse the next generation of archeologists. Also like the variety of sources - documents, finds, reused stone, pathways, dendrodating, geophys - showing how to integrate knowledge into a cohesive story. Well done, TT.

2024-04-03 23:18:13 +0000 UTCStewart fills my heart with so much joy, knowing that he's passing that knowledge on :)

2024-04-03 17:03:27 +0000 UTCMore! More! I need more! I love Stuart out in the wilderness with nothing but a selfie stick! 😂

2024-04-02 20:34:52 +0000 UTCThis must have been so hard to put together. So many things happening all at once, at many locations!

2024-04-02 20:20:31 +0000 UTCGreat first day. Can't wait for the rest.

2024-04-02 19:01:44 +0000 UTC'Its been hot and dry recently...!' I seem to remember something like that in the distant past!
Mark Lund
2024-04-02 18:16:29 +0000 UTCI'm very excited about this episode. The first name on the family tree shown - Richard Champernowne (b. 1236) - shows up in my ancestry as a 20th great-grandfather. I recognized the names right away and went digging (haha) through my family tree.

2024-04-02 09:14:10 +0000 UTCReally enjoyed this episode, looking forward to the next part. Excellent follow-up to the previous digs in the town.

2024-04-02 02:54:47 +0000 UTCan awesome episode, looking forward to next weekend for the next 2 episodes.

2024-04-01 15:59:23 +0000 UTCLoved it! So happy to see the new episodes start rolling in!
Jennie
2024-04-01 15:21:09 +0000 UTCThis feels so much like the old Time Team, I always loved to see the community and the children getting involved. Mick must have been smiling down during that dig. I cannot wait to see the whole thing next week!! Brilliant work THANK YOU to ALL the TEAM!!
Brett
2024-04-01 15:16:49 +0000 UTCHi Dennis, thanks for the question. Yes, this is a fairly typical lead in time between a dig and the completed episodes. (The original series on TV had a similar post-production period, but back then you only got to see the finished product!) If you look up 'post production' in the search bar at the top of the homepage, we've posted a few videos on the various stages in the process, and we'll be discussing it more in upcoming Q&As. We're also very excited to say 2024 will be our busiest year for releases yet since the relaunch, with several interesting projects being finished off for release. Thanks
Time Team
2024-04-01 09:20:02 +0000 UTC🤩 Awesome! Looking great so far. What a story: events and the people. I’ve been left on the edge of my seat! Just want to see the rest 🫣 👍🏻👌🏻
Michelle Cailes
2024-04-01 08:36:05 +0000 UTCVery good can not wait for the whole 3 days
Dennis morris
2024-04-01 08:18:39 +0000 UTCThis is proper old school TT and I love it! Community involved and everyone running around the village. Already one of my favourites so far. Thank you so much to everyone involved.
Karen Hardy
2024-04-01 07:24:49 +0000 UTCSpot on, Diana. I couldn't have said it better 👍😊
Patricia Amero
2024-04-01 05:06:33 +0000 UTCMarvelous! And SO MANY experts on the scene, each giving their input as to what is happening. Fantastic!
Michael Sperry
2024-04-01 04:04:49 +0000 UTCSo interesting. I loved the community involvement and the link to the Stetson family. Can't wait for the next two episodes.
Michelle Curiel
2024-04-01 01:48:35 +0000 UTCWonderful … So the dig was June 2023 and will air (yes I know… no air) April 2024 … 11 months ish. Is this the typical time from dig to Episode ready for public consumption?
Dennis Beck
2024-04-01 00:54:02 +0000 UTCLove America Civil War stuff, beginning to find English Civil War equally fascinating.
Eric Fretheim
2024-04-01 00:32:55 +0000 UTCYeah, Time Team! The suspense. The satisfaction. The community involvement. The Patreon suspense! Thanks for this Easter treat.
Diana Patterson
2024-03-31 22:20:22 +0000 UTCThat took me back to original Time Team memories! I am watching on a Sunday evening, just like I used to, and the theme tune starts the time warp. Well done, everyone, all the flavours and feel of the original with a brand new episode. Remarkable
Clive McIntyre
2024-03-31 20:56:17 +0000 UTCNice. Looking forward to the last 2 days.
Amethyst Gray
2024-03-31 20:42:56 +0000 UTCEnjoyed seeing and hearing Gus again. Where was Natalie? Also, a practical question. When a sample is taken for dendro-dating, how is the hole left behind treated? Great to see a new project and looking forward to next weekend.
Leanne
2024-03-31 20:40:07 +0000 UTCLoved every single minute...
Steve Mikre
2024-03-31 20:03:30 +0000 UTCThanks for sharing a full episode! I thought it was going to be a few minutes and was pleasantly surprised.
Trentford Heavy Industries
2024-03-31 19:52:04 +0000 UTCJust great that we’re back into episodes and that we now number 10000!
Mark Freestone
2024-03-31 19:46:41 +0000 UTCSo interesting! Having a living Stetson/Stitson descendant there with you was a brilliant idea. Consider inviting a living descendant, where appropriate and possible, to future episodes to give a sense of the continuity of history. My Patreon contributions well-spent, thank you and bravo! So looking forward to Days 2 and 3.
