As well as appearing in almost 40 regular episodes, Robin … What a shame to see TT let go. Strata indeed! Yes TR can be intensely irritating at times, but as the years have gone by I think his appreciation of the experts has increased and they have learned skills from him about presentation. All the repeats are still amazing, I also watch ime team every day without fail. I am devastated ! For the previous Robins, see Nightwing and Jason Todd. Maybe after all these replies BBC4 may approach the original team !!! We’re currently watching the series (2012?) Join us for our Teatime watch-alongs on Sunday evenings, followed by exclusive behind-the-scenes interviews, masterclasses and more. If those of us who have never met him mourn today, how much more must his friends and family be feeling his passing? I never saw any of these shows until a week ago when I stumbled over them on youtube. Not a Tony Robinson fan myself but he is part of the show. To anyone who loves the Sunday afternoon history fix as much as I do PLEASE sign! Time Team repeats on You Tube are helping to keep me sane during the Covid19 lockdown. Gutted that Time Team has ended! 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. I still enjoy my archaeology despite my age not being able to take part in the reality. The only thing that surprises me is that they didn’t include a so called comedian. RESURRECT THE PAST! The above link is a petition which was put together by Lee Brady. 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 is wrong with “older” viewers? I can’t believe how much I have learned during Covid lock down because of Time Team. Cheers. The money was well spent, and today only five Time Team sites remain unpublished — a record that shames many UK units and academics. No, sadly… when it comes to TV, viewers don’t get what they want, they get what they are given… Trouble is, the people who make these decisions can be misguided, and very stupid. Back in the olden days(late 70’s) 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. http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/time-team-should-continue-on-tv.html. Disgusted, Mick walked out, explaining later ‘For some reason they didn’t think “oh, we’d better run that past Mick.” He’s the archaeological consultant, he might have an opinion about that’ (see CA 271). The last series was disappointing without Helen and Stuart who were replaced by people without half their expertise. Us all. Robin (A.K.A. Tim Taylor explains ‘because we’ve involved Wessex Archaeology in our work for the last 10 or so years the reports are really good quality. Mick Aston, a former resident academic on Channel 4's Time Team, has died at the age of 66. To all the people who wrote nasty comments on this forum about it, I leave you with this question why are you on this site at all if you didnt love it like the rest of us? In most places over here there are literally hundreds of channels with endless variety. I have just realised that time team is to be axed by c4. Or are we all to turn off our televisions once we reach 40? Great format, educational safe family viewing. Art. and which would be the best way to alienate the people working on the programme. Interested in keeping up to date with the latest archaeological finds across Britain? Such a shame a beautiful show as this is axed and they show such dribble as reality tv shows blah yuk. While filming Timesigns,  Tim and Mick regularly discussed other ways to bring archaeology to a television audience. Photography Subjects. very sad day for us and the time team cast. I too wonder why they stopped it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Your contribution to TV and Archeology is now history itself! I am watching as many of the daily episodes as I can on New Zealand’s History Channel.It makes me nostalgic for the British history and archeological sites. Phil annoys me at times, by always stealing the limelight when lesser mortals had done the hard graft,but, the highlights were when lesser mortals (IE Raksha, Matt or Ian) had exciting finds and were allowed to show.Victors drawings were more lively and thought provoking than the boring computer graphics.I will start to miss the programme in two years time, when we finally complete seies 20. Recently went to Jamestown where the 1st Time Team America was taped…that was amazing. The attempted dumbing down of Time Team smacks of dim executives meeting to dish corporate cliches out to one another. Barbara Bush, American first lady (1989–93), wife of George H.W. You only have to look at the demographic to see that a model was not going to be an asset to TT. ARE THEY NUTS? Now we are nearing the end of Series XX I feel a tinge of sadness that a programme which both educates and informs will be with us no more. I loved Mick and Phil and Stuart et all, picking on Matt for any rotton job. Yes, we all love the longtime archaelogists (sorry, can’t do “stars” – I would say they wouldn’t like it either – it is rather derogatory of their abilities!) They were digging Roman ruins in someone’s back garden and explaining in detail what they were doing and what it told them – hooked then and there. You only have to look at the great interest shown over Richard III to realise that yes there is a market for a programme of this nature. I have offten mention to my husband, I wonder what the site look like after the the TT have left. What a pity we had to endure that young lady fashion model who merely read her script for a couple of episodes. while the Facebook page is slowly building! In fact, since Tony had no input at all into what digs were scheduled, I don’t see how that could even begin to be true. Its a shame we didn’t see you and the team doing more international locations. […]. One only has to consider the creative arc of Channel Four itself, to have noticed that it’s a shadow of what it set out to be – and frankly, those who run it now should be ashamed of themselves, relieved from duty, and prevented from working in TV ever again………. yours MRS HILDA LESLEY CARRINGTON. Interesting, in these days where we (oldies) are not responding to adverts as much as the supposed young and affluent… to think of alternative crowd-sourcing models for financing programs that we like. Now a female Bush Tucker Man then you'd be talking. I think the only things we didn’t like so much were the cleavage shots and the daft re-enactments. Thank you,Mick, for all that you gave us…….and thanks to Mick’s family for sharing him with us. 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 we’ve seen on TT. A known anthropologist and archeologist ( Emmanuel College, Cambridge ), to describe and dismiss her as a ” former model ” is a bit unfair. 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.
