If the History Channel still made shows like this rather than the obssesive amounts of reality shows on television. I would still be watching the History Chanel

Tony's little story describing the use of a dead horse head to catch eels in the river Thames is delightful. Phil's reaction to the story while eating jellied eel is splendid.

Is this officially run by the production?! If so thanks for all you have done. It helps my depression.

I found this series a few weeks ago and can't stop watching. I love it. Makes me want to be there digging right along side them. Tony when he had hair & it was dark, Mick & his rainbow sweater, Phil with his enthusiasm digging in the dirt and to everybody else that made the show fun & informative. Thank you everyone!

I live how that Bishop turned up and is like "there is nothing here but garden because we have records back to 1200!"
And Mitch is "well, under that. There is history before your garden."
And the bishop is like..."Oh. That? I guess so. "

I love this very early episode so much. Tony's in fine form, offering gibes about digging up the Jubilee Line; the team's scoffing John Smith's bitters out of tins in the Archbishop's garden; the laptops are grinding to process just a handful of data points; and they're using a builder's tape measure tied to a brick to plumb the Thames. Oh, and I had a silk tank just like Carenza's and a cream linen jacket like Tony's -- which must be the daftest thing to wear while mudlarking on the Thames.

I love watching this show but the episodes from the 90s are the best. The old tech makes me laugh so much. Look at their phones and laptops! Look at AutoCAD! It's so great.

It's weird to think I was only 2 years old when this came out originally. As an American who loves history I'm glad I came across you guys. Our history channels gave up showing history years ago. It's a shame.

God that library is a dream. With the right books in there I could live in it. And look how young everyone was!

[PaulRizzo]

Got to love how this show just casually rewrites the history books ever time they dig. It is a very addictive show. Super surprised Netflix has not bothered to call you up.

I've always found British history fascinating, this show helped bring it to life...

Time Team's great for giving us insights into ancient artifacts and culture: Hofmeister Lager and Tony's Miami Vice styling - the past is truly another country.

[Liquessen]

Thank you for uploading these. Time Team is my go-to show when I am feeling down or just bored, because I just love these excited nerds in all their nerdy glory!

[RobBoudreau]

I've seen every show several times, and will undoubtedly see each one several times more. It's such a fascinating, entertaining and captivating show it's addicting. Thank you all so very much.

[rknowling]

I really enjoyed the thrill of uncovering the solution to a mystery from Robin Bush's work in the archives.

[jackkuppens]

Best ever show on TV love it and still watching it as much as I can

[tomtinkersrezlife]

[Mandarkever]

[motorcop]

It was very cool of the London Fire Brigade to help out with their boat! It really reflects great credit on them to help on very short notice.

Dang, look at Tony all dressed up for Miami Vice. I love the video archeology you can do watching some of these early episodes lol.
