Going Upmarket With The Romans (Standish) | Series 12 Episode 7 | Time Team

I'm thankful for all these old episodes of time team. When I can't bear to watch the news or other stupidity on social media I always come back to good ol uncle Phil and the crew. Love this show. Wish the American version of this would have took off. But these will do. England is my heritage anyway.

As a young girl I was enthralled with archeology. I was told it was not suitable. I became a teacher, raised a family had a second career as a very Successful Realtor. I’m retired and started painting at 70 and now have found time team and I am enjoying a completely unsuitable profession vicariously!

I just love Victor's drawings. He was such a brilliant illustrator.

[gailhowes]

I think Victor’s drawings and interpretations are beautiful ! He is an amazing member of the team.

Phil shaking his fist at the sun and telling it to “go away!” Is one of my favorite Time Team moments. 😆

[maggiebrinkley]

Tony's beard - he was making 'Maid Marian and Her Merry Men' at the time for BBC Children's tv, an absolute classic!

[Veni_Vidi_Vortice]

I'm going to dig a pit in my back garden and throw all my rubbish into it from now on. Future generations will thank me for it.

So educational, but such fun . The humour of TT was one of it's strong point's

[fetus]

Fish and Chips with Time Team ... even though ive watched this ep before (watched them all multiple times now) I still Love this show . Nothing beats TT and Dinner .

[aussiescraphunter]

every so often Guy gives a description of some part of archaeological detail in such a way they are immediately understandable, his knowledge is admirable

[veldawells]

I absolutely love TT finding different materials from many periods of pre and post early Roman history. It's absolutely magical. A glimpse of our past is just so exciting. The finding of the skeletal remains of a woman, the horse bones and truncated pot, grain grinder, oil vessel and different periods of building materials, etc., is amazing. I could almost touch the history happening. Magnificent finds! The excellent drawings by Victor evoke a feeling of realism and help the viewer picture that snapshot of time. Just W.O.W! ❤ Thank you. So inspiring.

[Mr.Goldtop]

I've watched what seems like dozens of these Time Team videos. And if there's one thing I've learned, besides that Phil Harding is a really cool cat, is that ancient people didn't seem to be very careful with their ceramics!

[GaryNoone-jzmq]

Phill, shaking his fist at the sun, reminds me that the English just aren't used to the sunshine.

[claraedouwesdekker]

Oh thank heavens they’re back! Even if it is a rerun! Here from South Africa it is a lovely way to spend time being educated and enlightened, while at the same time being mightily entertained!

[aserta]

These people have become at the very least like family. Losing Mick can't've been easy.

[catherinedavis]

You tell the most wonderful wonderful real life stories! There’s nothing better than seeing how ancestors existed. I’m always amazed by how much you can reveal in just three days. I would love to see what weeks, months, years of digging and finding could do. Has anyone ever considered rebuilding a complete site for tourists to be able to walk through and experience, and hear how life truly was? It would be sooo fascinating.

[dianejohnston]

Phil - "Hello little rim - you're not supposed to be up there' :)

[elizabethschaeffer]

The horse was a significant symbolic animal. Epona was the Celtic goddess of horses.
Carvings of Epona with her horses were occasionally found in Celtic sites in Britain.

[kevinmccarthy]

I love this show and all my beautiful friends, the people of England. I grew up on the ocean in Massachusetts America and was one of the original 13 colonies. All most all of the towns, and streets names are from England. Like Boston Massachusetts named after Boston England. In America when the original colonist came over in 1620 this is considered very old, but nothing compared to the origins of the British people. Which unfortunately a lot of Americans do mot appreciate.

All of these diggers are just s delightful! Well done chaps all around!
