Stewart Ainsworth was born on 26 June, 1951 in Yorkshire, United Kingdom, is a British archaeological investigator. Special thanks also to the fantastic people behind the research, graphics, computer animation that added so much to each episode. I was surfing the internet to obtain correct titles for some episodes that I recorded earlier. The Isle of Mull episode in season 17 is a great example of what could be discovered. Hated that they axed Mick Aston and brought in other new people!!! And thank you Mick, R.I.P. And what lies behind the strange decision to give us two rehashes of old material at the end of the 19th season? The site is of national importance and we couldnt hope for a better team to help uncover its secrets., Time Teams return has had the backing of many celebrity fans, from Sir Michael Morpurgo and Bernard Cornwell to Philippa Gregory, Kate Mosse and Ken Follett. (all good things must come to an end). Stewart Ainsworth (born 26 June 1951) is a British archaeological investigator who was regularly seen on Time Team, the Channel 4 archaeological television series. It opened my eyes up to so much of the UK, in particular my ignorance of Roman settlement. Off now to have a quick dig in my garden then on to Salisbury to stalk Phil Harding.intelligence soooo sexy. If ch4 wanted to save money why not repeat them from programme 1 . If Channel 4 wish to cancel TT why not take it to another channel If jonathon Ross, Parky and Graham Norton can do it why not TT, No more Phil! As it was said at the start, they had to change it and then when it all went wrong blame someone else. It encouraged me to study the Neolithic, Bronze and Iron Ages. Good riddance to Time Team; patronising in the extreme, and as for that prat Robinson leaping about a la Baldrick, reduced the entire thing to music hall. Many bad decisions for all the wrong reasons. By the way I am 52, so I guess I am too old for channel 4, but tell my kids that. time team has over the years discovered great things. Even after its star began to wane Time Team remained popular. (Cardiff hillfort).

I have missed Time Team SO much.. or anyone with an IQ of 50 and below, or the attention span a bit longer than a small herring. Yes, really hope so! Eat umble pie you are having a laff. I guess it was always going to happen when TV administrators who, judging by the few Ive seen interviewed, are challenged by words of more than two syllables come into contact with educated professionals. It is always the same, if it works change it, No offense Lizbeth, I really like Tony, but I still think my observation is accurate. I really didnt like that nasty dendrochronologist who wouldnt show his results though idiot! An absolute feast of mind, interest and the ever curiosity of young and old alike about What lie underneath that humble plot of soil?.TIme Team approached that humble plot we would all like to delve into.they bring that knowledge of how with them and together unveal little glimspes of anothers past which we back bring here, to today.as a reflection and connection.like a mirror between centuries and timesand sunrises and pleasant breezes of a long ago Sunday afternoon, I thought it was the Bi..o presenter the doomed it for sure, brought in because we are all suddenly dumb. if there is a petition please let me know.i would like to put our names down. While Time Team unquestionably experienced problems, particularly in its final years, this much-loved show was an astonishing success, propelling modern archaeology into the public conscious as never before. Bring back Time Team. With Tony Robinson, Phil Harding, John Gater, Stewart Ainsworth. Its brilliant and helps this Singapore based Brit to feel less far away. She completely ruined it, and led to Mick Aston walking out on the show. Lively interpersonal dynamics, celebratory meals and wine, inviting locals to learn more about the world around them back in time, diverse resources and approaches coordinating and appreciating each other- some reading. Filmed at Athelney, site of Alfred the Greats apocraphal burnt cakes, the site was scheduled, precluding excavation. So why could it not continue on and evolve in 2013 ? Time Team has left a legacy that few TV programs can match and im sure that generations to come will enjoy. Its interesting that Ch 4 is dropping a program on history and education, are they really dumbing down to suit a younger age group whose programs contain bad language smut and sex, bad attitudes and a large sense of self. I too am upset that this has been axed. It was a perfunctory end for a television institution that, over two decades, made British archaeology more accessible and popular than ever. The Mick Aston informative, involving wide range of age and expertise-or students out in the field working version, not the americanised teenybopper version as touted by c4 accountants. document.getElementById("comment").setAttribute( "id", "a3c3c528f5d4ab9be4dd73fd43d71409" );document.getElementById("ac59ec51d8").setAttribute( "id", "comment" ); Latest news from our sister site, the-past.com. And, unlike Phil and Mick, one didnt long to give her a haircut!! I thought Channel Four was supposed to be a cultural channel appealing to grown ups, yet the dire Big Brother has been inflicted on us for over ten years along with other ephemeral rubbish. Seasons 9-12 are often seen as Time Teams golden age. I met Phil Harding a few years ago at old sarum castle, Salisbury, we had a lovely chat, hes a fab bloke. I have watched every episode from season 1, some many times. By the summer of 2012 Channel 4 no longer wanted old Time Team. John Gater, Francis Pryor, Stewart Ainsworth, and Phil Harding.

Stewart has been interested in history since the age of eleven, after reading a book about Horatio Nelson. 20+ years is a remarkable feat for a television program, and this isnt Dr. Who either. 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. Its December 2016, My Hubby and I live in Queensland Australia,we have Foxtel and have the old shows on a series link and never get tired of watching the Time Team. Thank you Time Team for all those wonderful hours of thoroughly enjoyable entertainment. His presentation throughout all of the series, which I have almost finished running though for the second time, is stellar. pain this is all I can say in thinking that the single most important program ever to put PASSION in archaeology has been culled for giving more profit$ in adverts to run of the mill crap so long TimeTeam but rest assured you have YOUR place in history now! Shows that actually ADD something GOOD to the mix. Stick to Postman Pat, Time Team is too intellectual for you. Here in South Africa we ahave been treated to some series and odd programs which I really enjoyed. As Mick Aston observed the geophys and Time Team have always gone hand in hand. Biggest mistake ever! They have onbly made a couple of mistakes, 1 was letting Mick go and the other was axing Time Team. Time team is irreplaceable. People came and went, such as my favourite Robin Bush, but those two remained, as did their stamina and zeal for the show. I learned so much, as many others have, and admired the way it brought archaeology to everyone. Sir Tony Robinson, who is an honorary patron, says: I was delighted to hear about the plans for the next chapter in Time Teams story. While I mourn the loss of Time Team, I think its death is a natural, organic thing that was simply going to happen sooner or later. I started watching TT in 1998 (2 years after leaving school) and it showed that history can be not only interesting but also fun. God, is there nothing for older viewers who actually like to think? That is, the irritating new team members, the irritating clanging noise when Tony narrates and the increasingly less time spent in the trenches. Perhaps there were too many Roman sites with their predictable layouts. Time Team RIP I suppose theres nothing wrong with her per se, but her presence is utterly unnecessary.

Thank you,Mick, for all that you gave us.and thanks to Micks family for sharing him with us. Goodbye, Time Team, and thank you. and which would be the best way to alienate the people working on the programme. Expertise honed over 15 years was lost at a stroke, to be replaced by crew and production staff who knew neither each other nor archaeology. Re-assemble the team ! I have always loved history but the subjects in school were dull. This segregates the viewers and leaves fans like me stuck in the middle and slightly upset at the notion that my favorite programmes have been taken over by people who havent got a idea. Although I partly agree with Geoff Stelling regarding both the departure of Mick and sidelining Phil somewhat, I do think that the young archaeologists in this the last series show a great deal of promise (Jimmy, Tracey, Susannah, for example) and we are being unfair to their input to be so critical. Robinson has been a superb presenter and long may he continue on historical based series . Im getting to the point at which I can glance at a find in a diggers hand and exclaim, Oh! A family programe deleted. People seem to enjoy them. Ridiculous. Great news that it is ending now we can have even more programs about yobs drinking abroad, crappy makeovers, the life of white van drivers and buying houses that cost 250,000 or more. It makes me chief superfan and supporter all armoury in our shared desire to inspire and stimulate interest in archaeology at all levels., Its great to be back! says Taylor. Hundreds of pounds would be spent on scientific dating such as C14, with the results only coming back in time for a line of dialogue to be dubbed on months after filming had concluded. If those of us who have never met him mourn today, how much more must his friends and family be feeling his passing? I think Phil is a genius at being able to read the ground he is digging up. What will Ch4 spend its money on now, even more American imports? But maybe it is time and we need to move on. The regular team also included: Stewart Ainsworth, landscape investigator; John Gater and Chris Gaffney, archaeological geophysicists; Henry Chapman, surveyor; and Victor Ambrus, illustrator. It may not have been archaelogical perfection but it did make archaeology appealing to many and did digs that no one had the funds or interest to do.

I would make just one more: yes, we love the established contributors, our well loved favourites, but what about the good new talent being seen in this present series (2013)? I have offten mention to my husband, I wonder what the site look like after the the TT have left. Come on BBC, take up where C4 left off PLEASE!! Channel 4s loss their gain :) Not any more. (Then, of course, it goes straight to Hell). C4 have put money into British Archaeology, when no one else could or would presumably, and as has been pointed out, much of that money went into post excavation work, which although not good TV is absolutely vital as far as each site is concerned. When he took this pitch to various studios, however, no one wanted to know. He has since appeared in over two hundred episodes. One only has to consider the creative arc of Channel Four itself, to have noticed that its 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. People understand it isnt treasure hunting well, we probably still have some way to go with that one! Tim points to Over 230 films that have been seen in 36 countries. We are a large audience. Jim describes this miscalculation as a death blow, which cost the show almost all of its behind the scenes staff. But archaeologist Mick Aston has walked out of Time Team after 19 years after producers hired a former model as the programmes co-presenter. A political gesture aimed at building up regional television, Time Team was picked because it seemed a safe pair of hands. I will miss my bit of kulcha. Requested by a commissioning editor to wear more colourful clothing Mick turned up in the most garish garment he could find as a joke, only to be told it was perfect. I have watched Time Team from the beginning and love the earlier episodes and although its sad that its going it has changed considerably.Not the same without Mick his enthusiasm makes for great watching. Time team seemed to be excavating at the behest of large bodies like English Heritage and the National Trust, not some amateurs or local individuals. Big Thanks Time Team,will never get tired of watching the shows,fingers crossed you can make some more. If Channel Four thinks TT too expensive there is mileage in the Return To format for some digs showing some of the original programmes and then updating on subsequent research. Like others I have loved TT right from the start and have always enjoyed it. TT has inspired me to take up the challenge of retraining at the age of 67 for a second career in Heritage and Museum studies. Please, please would someone bring the show back, This is just another example of Managements old adage: Its perfect; lets New and Improve it Time Team you have inspired so many people .THANK YOU. He brought a wonderful empathy to Time Team.. his kind detailed replies to Tonys frustration always impressed me ! and Im so grateful to all the Time Team members for a wonderful 20 seasons. yours MRS HILDA LESLEY CARRINGTON.

Self - Deya, Mallorca, Spain (1998) . report. I saw the same program, Justin, and I agree entirely! If Tim Taylor or anyone at Channel 4 ever got the itch in their pants to dig it all up again (pun intended) it would be so awesome. (now part of English Heritage) in 1985, and is now head of its Landscape Investigation Team based in York, England. That some suburban folks welcomed the Team to pull up their patio, knock down their potting shed, and bore holes in their rafters, used to amaze me. He is president of the Friends of Epiacum, also known as Whitley Castle, the Roman fort on the southern edge of Northumberland which he has surveyed and studied in depth. Headed by D Macall. Telly Tubbies. What a bunch of idiots. We are saddened to hear that a great T.V show which entertained and informed is being axed. while the Facebook page is slowly building! Many a critic was silenced by seeing the team in action. For me Time Team was a cultural oasis in a desert of dumb and lazy TV. The technology now at our disposal, and a new generation of archaeologists joining the team, is a fantastic prospect. CHANNEL 4, YOU ARE A COMPLETE BUNCH OF IDIOTS!!!. I think the writing was on the wall when the powers that be messed about with it, moving its base to Cardiff and losing quality staff and goodwill. Chronicle. Thank goodness there is a myriad of viewers who appreciate the achievement of Time Team. age is no barrier in archaeology and many of us dont start until our 40s and 50s. THEY DESERVE BETTER THAN THIS. The Aussie fans are disappointed too that T T will be finishing up. It was this show that gave me the inspiration to study history and I will really miss it. Yes,he was often guilty of playing the devils advocate, but at such times he was the voice of many of us upon listening to yet another gigantic leap of hastily constructed faith or explanation of purpose for the sake of the less informed viewing massive. Ive learned that anything classed as experimental Is just filler as theyve found nothing. I agree with Brian, a petition might make Ch4 sit up and realise that we, the viewers, have got brains and like to watch programs with interesting and informative content. Whilst on youtube, also check out dig ventures; another fantastic project with another familiar face. It also produces some amazing factual programmes to expand our knowledge and it is extremely worrying that the latter are being sacrificed for moronic programmes like Big Fat Gypsy Wedding which add nothing to our cultural enlightenment. Mick the Dig joined Time Team early on as our resident excavation supervisor and was personally responsible for Time Team's biggest ever hole - at Blaenavon, Wales (an honour that looks unlikely to be beaten any time soon!). I was disappointed with the change in format, it was like losing family. I record episodes that I cannot watch on the day. I first came across it a few years back while channel surfing Hey I know him thats Baldrick. Apart from the marvellous people who made up the Time Team over the years, the way they used the magic of television to highlight features of the dig, overlay geophys visualisations onto the site, extend a fragment of a pot into a full representation, and so on, made this program an exemplar of how to produce truly educational television; and the way the passion of the Team members and their expertise was allowed to shine, coupled with a witty front man, showed that educational does not have to mean dull or dumbed down. The same has been witnessed with the BBC. Having the great pleasure to work in the UK for an Engineering firm, I was able to watch the early years of this program, up to the end. Channel 4 you need looking at!!! I hope its not the end of Time Team. When discussing the latest TT episode at work/with friends sadly there doesnt seem to be many others who watch it, Ive always been interested in history so maybe its just me & maybe the young people of today arent being taught that history can be exciting/interesting. Not blaming her particularly, but her entry seemed to also disturb the group dynamics of the cast, which was one of the things that made it so enjoyable. there was total outrage and ABC picked it up with the two oldies . Time Team - Helen Geake Helen Geake Small Finds Specialist and Anglo-Saxon Expert Helen's interest in archaeology was sparked partly by attending lecturers by Time Team's Mick. I hope that someone has the sense to resorect TT even if it is repeated from the beginning. Stranger things have happened! we dont want more programmes that is rubbish there is more than i could even say. share. I guess the nearest feeling to learning of its ending was like being told that your solid mates of the past twenty years are all splitting up and moving abroad. I have watched Time Team over the years. I have always wondered what happens to all the dirt that the Time Team dig out of their sites after the 3 days of digging? It was broadcast over TVO Toronto Canada. My enduring memory of Tony Robinson during Time Team filming is him spending several hours of every day asleep in a massive American car with the engine running. I am thrilled that TT is returning in 2022, but saddened that Phil, Raksha and Tony will not be participating. I had no idea it was finishing until yesterday and I missed the last viewing as I have flu and have been sleeping a lot.. OH DEAR !

Yes, speak for yourself! With Season 20 airing next year, and a series of one-off specials running into 2014, there is still new Time Team on the way. I sincerely hope this will be remedied. I too wonder why they stopped it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The cast will be sorely missed. 17:30 EST 07 Feb 2012 Envisioned as a quiz show in the vein of Challenge Anneka running on BBC 1 from 1989 to 1995 the team were called on to solve archaeological mysteries while racing against the clock. It would be nice if Channel 4 admitted its error and reinstated Time Team in its proper format. i like everything about it. Try Dig Ventures, an online crowd-funded Archaeology site. I wonder whether the viewing figures took in the worldwide audience I know lots of people watched and enjoyed it here in Australia. i have seen every episode of time team and ive never seen him mention anything like that other than one time, so you are a complete moron and need to look up what the word patronize means since i am now patronizing you. TV is a wasteland and TT was an oasis in it. There were times when I would have liked to see some longer digs being featured and I would still like to see that, but it seems likely that it will not be Channel 4 doing it. Failing that I can recommend looking at Google Maps satellite pictures of your local area looking for earthworks hours of fun! Tony was the right man to present, no doubt about that. 03:12 EST 08 Feb 2012. Well said and one hundred per cent agree. Vale Time Team, you will be missed. Toni Victoria australia. There are quite a few of us down here watching repeats ( up to 5 times) but even so they are still interesting. The students became instant converts to the program. All the repeats are still amazing, I also watch ime team every day without fail. This series is in my opinion (and hubbys) a satisfying end. Whatever happened, wed all thought, well complete the 20th series. I just love this programme and am very sad to hear that there will be no more. 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. A former academic at Bristol and Oxford universities, he has worked tirelessly to bring archaeology to a wider audience. Being well aired on the Yesterday TV Channel Monday to Friday throughout the day, Time team proved that nothing I is really lost it us just covered up soil sand and water 3 cheers for the team ron atkinson. What a wonderful 20 years we/they had. Channel 4 has just axed the best show on tv wont be watching channel 4 again, There will always be someone who knows what we like we to watch. Incidentally, to my British friends & fellow TT fans I have to say that I agree with the comments in this thread that the American shows that BBC chooses to air in the UK are garbage, but what a shame the excellent documentaries and history-related productions are not offered in your part of the world. So sad. The fact that TT was the only programme I regularly watched on Channel 4 I am very sad to see it go. Phew! He completed his undergraduate and Master's degrees at the Institute of Archaeology, University College London before embarking on a career in commercial archaeology. Sounds like a bargain to me, how much do the BBC spend on the series presented by David Attenborough? An audience study in 2006 indicated that 20 million people watched at least one show that year. Shame I can now only watch it at 5am on the History channel. In relation to earlier comments concerning Mr Robinson, all I can say is that if he was patronising us then it must have been a residual echo of Baldrics most cunning plan. Totally agree. After reading, in his youth, a book about Horatio Nelson, 1st Viscount Nelson, and visiting the Tower of London, he formed an interest in the history of landscapes.[2]. Although Channel 4 is due the recognition it deserves for its faith and investment in archaeology over the years its decisions over the last couple of years will be a media studies case study How to destroy a successful programme and alienate millions of viewers. . What are you going to replace it with? All the others as far back as 1828 from Ireland and Scotland. I was glued to the screen.. Thankyou for what we have ! Like Philip Lethbridge I would be happy to watch TT for ever.

I agree Shiela, a long read but entertaining, and an indication of TTs popularity. Poor second best but something is better than nothing. We live in USA. Some of the regulars have retired, some have moved on to other things, a few have departed for Tr nan g or the Field of Reeds. here was atransfixing series, turning elitist subject into everyday knowledge for the ordinary man. The first show of 1994 featured a young, dark, long-haired Tony The Wildman Baldric Robinson, with a equally younger long haired Mick Aston, some of which was not quite all grey. In fact, since Tony had no input at all into what digs were scheduled, I dont see how that could even begin to be true. although a WONDERFUL outlet for the undoubted heroes, is not archaeology and not what I feel Time Team needs. Yes, Upton Castle was a bit of a mess in terms of style, but it held our interest. Great memories sadly missed. Still, we liked to watch something online every now and than rather than read a book, play a game or just talk to each other and thats when my husband showed me the first episodes of Time Team, which he remember from his youth. Please bring back Time Team with Tony Robinson. Sounds ageism to me, isnt that against the law now? Rip, time team.
