A Village Affair | Time Team (Archeology Documentary) | Timeline

There's a problem in the chocolate-box village of Bitterley in Shropshire. The village's school and cottages cluster prettily around the green. But the village church and the manor house lie more than half a mile away, on the other side of a lumpy, bumpy empty field.

What a wonderful show. Time team has a strange placating effect on me. Whenever I am going through a rough time I find myself watching it. I don’t know what it is exactly but it’s a visual sedative.

“But... there’s still no pub in the village?” Iconic line haha!
Maybe they had to remove the pub so the Walcots didn’t drink themselves broke!

"But there's still no pub in the village." Poor Phil, lol! He handles even *the worst* news like a trooper!!😂🤣
I LOVED how the whole village turned out to help!- The little girl in the blue t-shirt is surely a futre archaeologist!👍🏻 So cute! I would LOVE to own a coin from 1902, how cool is that??!!👌🏻
And Alex Langlands, what a GREAT addition!!👍🏻 I watched all of his series, such as Tudor Farm, he's brilliant! Hi to Raksha & Mick too!
I absolutely loved the inclusion of locals from kids to seniors, really lovely to see!👏🏻💖
And you *KNOW* you are loved when your co-workers and friends build you your own mini outdoor pub, "The Phil's Head", omg, brilliant guys!!🏆👏🏻👌🏻👍🏻😂
I have loved all the Time Team episodes over many many years, but there was a real homey family feel to this one that really appealed to me. And of course Phil always rocks, always a great laugh!👍🏻🤗 And Welcome Alex, wonderful to see you again!!🤗💖
Absolutely stand out episode everyone!🏅
🤗💖🌈🇨🇦☮️

There's no Pub and no shop?! That's not a village that's just a collection of houses! 🤪

Wish I could hit the thumb up button multiple time. Probably the most touching episode I’ve seen so far in the series.

"So you go and lie down with a bag of cold peas on your head" - priceless!

18:12 'Are you sure about this?' 'Yeah, well, well... We'll play the mad archaelogist card if he is stroppy about it'... Brilliant!

It would have been nice if you could add the production date of these episodes in the descriptions.

I am writing from Estonia. Firstly I thank you for all the most interesting work you have done! You have educated people. It is most important!
Bad side is, that robbers of sites have also learned. You have speeded up understanding history... and finding it. I am from Estonia... and we have so very much violent digs! Robbers get somehow better... cause of knowhow, and this is sad. Too sad.
They dig out our rich history from times of vikings and even more! But i hope, that there has been more good than bad. I loved the show. Sincerely.

12:38 - you're not alone in thinking that old Phil haha

While this isn't a bad TT episode (well none of them are really that) I do miss the older team. I miss the expertise that Carenza, Helen and Stewart all brought to the show. While Mary-Ann and Alex may have done other excellent shows, they somehow never fit in on TT. That may not have been their own fault, I couldn't say, but rather what roles they were asked to fill in a show already so well established.

[cjpmedic]

I’ve fallen in love with this show. But even more so for that stunning brunet in the crew….seriously she is STUNNING!

[SigEpBlue]

Bitterly. No pub. Has to be a connection.

[jeremymatthies]

"Village with no pub" sounds like the title a song by the Irish Rovers LOL. To hear Phil say it sounds like he's gonna break out in song
