It encouraged me to study the Neolithic, Bronze and Iron Ages. RESURRECT THE PAST! Shame!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! His presentation throughout all of the series, which I have almost finished running though for the second time, is stellar. we dont want more programmes that is rubbish there is more than i could even say. But maybe it is time and we need to move on. As others have said, lets hope that the B.B.C. I really loved the show and learned so much. It seems there was no need for one before Womens Studies and all those other nonwhite studies. I started watching TT in 1998 (2 years after leaving school) and it showed that history can be not only interesting but also fun. I have been watching Time Team since its birth and can quite candidly say, I have never seen and enjoyed such a beautiful piece of television. Wasnt TT the only reason to watch Channel 4 ? very sad. Miss TT so much. Instead Time Teams format was radically overhauled. Strata indeed! I am a 57 year old Aussie and I watched this program every episode I could see. I cannot believe that Mick Aston has died, so very young, I thought he would go on forever. Shattered. Just watched a poor programme on Brancaster digfull of errors and poor production. The huge plus for archaeology in general has been the raising of the profile of a branch of science that prior to this program was the province of a fairly small group of people. TT was an outstanding program. 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. Gutted that Time Team has ended! He trained as a surveyor before entering the archaeology section of the Ordnance Survey. Why is it that when you get a winning format, which TT clearly is, you get the morons in suits, who obviously havent a clue what the audience want, having to justify their existence by changing things. (Then, of course, it goes straight to Hell). Sad days. 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. Not a surprise really when you consider the presence of the suits through all the times that Time Team and others have explored and documented. All the best shows are taken off and all we are left with is the boring and so untrue Archers. From the fall of TT on the minuscule scale, to the fall of a Royal house; loss of a battle; collapse of an empire. It was so pathetic, TT definitely doesnt need to have its memory sullied by association with the puerile crassness of the modern C4. The presenters never got enough credit for me, Phil, a hero and when can I share a pint with you? 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. Carenzas missing as is Helen, I see Mick walked out as I also presume Stewart has too. What a lot we learned. Thank you to all of Time Team for 20 wonderful years. To an incredible all round team we thank you and to Phil damn we will miss you! A viewers petition is probably the most difficult to achieve. As for the rest of the Team, hats off to you for the great fun and excellent archaeology looking forward to a few TT specials. Recently went to Jamestown where the 1st Time Team America was tapedthat was amazing. Tony Robinson is proud of the programmes success in making archaeology accessible. I hope its not the end of Time Team. Yes I agree I miss fresh episode aswell please come back, Yes I agree, the quality of weekend television is terrible give us back some interesting programs, Still record and watch the show love it all I can say is Bring back Time Team.

The roman barge in Utrect was particularly interesting and my son in Holland wished to see it. Also I dont know how many episodes Ive got left to watch and am dreading the day I realise Im rewatching episodes Ive seen before, though thats still better than pretty much anything else on TV at the moment.

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? So why could it not continue on and evolve in 2013 ? Indeed, the only affectation on Time Team was Micks famous stripy jumper. Series Producer and creator of Time Team, Tim Taylor says . With Phil Harding also on board, three members of the future Time Team core were in place. This program has opened up so much of Great Britain to me and I am in love with suach a picturesque landscape and such a rich history. Yes, it was a great show, but its over now. I am thrilled that TT is returning in 2022, but saddened that Phil, Raksha and Tony will not be participating. Such mass-production was only possible with more rigorous processes guiding filming. Yes/No? Lets hope that somebody in control is also a fan and a compromise can be reached. I used to tape the shows & send the tapes to my sister in Winnipeg who enjoyed them as much as as we did Phil & Tony were our Favourites . They managed against terrific odds.and that gave me a good feeling ! So thank you time team I hope someone with a brain brings it back.

In fact, I actually struggle to watch any anyway, as I made clear at the beginning the post production is irritating. It brings together entire families and to my mind, is of huge importance, in that it makes us aware of who we are and where we came from and the way it was presented to us was magical. i say dont be too quick to make a stupid decision.

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. I found it much preferable to the Planet Earth shows of David Attenbrough. I have offten mention to my husband, I wonder what the site look like after the the TT have left. I speculate that Mr Bushs rant is based upon nothing more than jealousy over the fact that Mr Harding has obviously learned one more word than him whilst digging those big holes! That they were able to achieve what very few others were able to achieve and give a thirst to the man-in-the-street in what could be classed as a dry subject only adds weight to what they were able to achieve in such a fantastic way.
