why isn't phil harding in the new time team

Phil Harding and family at Buckingham Palace, 12 December 2006. Last night (17 June 2014), they had a prominent, crude cartoon of a mans sexual equipment inserted into this highly humorous clip. I was surfing the internet to obtain correct titles for some episodes that I recorded earlier. Right now, there's no reason for Guardiola not to select him in the starting XI, though. It was an intelligent, thought provoking, and entertaining program. Perhaps the question should be not what went wrong with Time Team, but what went wrong with Channel 4. Yes, it was a great show, but its over now. Sad days. Yes, really hope so! It is about time ABC Australia got there act together and started to replay ALL the episodes, from the first, so that we dont all go crazy from withdrawal symptoms. As late as season 18 the programme was pulling in a respectable audience of 1.1 million, partly because it had built up a loyal following, and partly because the team were still digging great sites. How many people can look back on a twenty years span of such a masterful contribution to human culture? It is located on the Broughton Estate in Oxfordshire, belonging to the Fiennes family. Whilst not filming Phil still works as a field archaeologist with Wessex Archaeology, and has been involved in a project listing all known Palaeolithic sites in Britain. I liked the pictures Victor did on several shows which showed the principals in historical costumes. Its one of those few things in life that meant so much, really looked forward to every episode. Ok BBC4, its time for you to take Time Team. Ive enjoyed watching all the archeologists old and new & think Tony Robinson is a great presenter. there was total outrage and ABC picked it up with the two oldies . Very disappointing. Lytham St Annes. TT is without doubt, the best offering in British television. He has become a familiar face on the Channel 4 television series Time Team. Not any more. I never had any interest in my UK ancestors heritage and the conditions they must have endured until I watched the team in action. Pity arise Sir Phil???? Who made the decision to axe time team but it is a mistake they will regret. NON of these corporations do they think we are all idiots who will do as they as told like little children in school!!!!! How very sad. In terms of Cotswolds villas Time Team has probably covered more of them than anyone else. Thank you for educating and entertaining me over the years. Maybe the resulting reruns and you tube videos will be a template for all group endeavors. What on earth is going on and who is in charge of these moronic decisions! Phil had never sought or anticipated recognition for his public service and this was a family first. Perhaps in gthe future we may have a project for a future Time Team, Channel 4 where did it all go wrong? I do not know he was pretty good towards the end at his archeology. There is nothing else like it on TV. Hopefully some other channel will take up the format eventually.

A relative alerted us to Time Team knowing.my husband and I were long term enthusiasts. A long-time member of Channel 4s Time Team, Raksha Dave is one of the countrys best loved archaeologists. Raphael, you cant have the old cast back. To me time team brought all facets of history alive to the ordinary person. Ive learned that anything classed as experimental Is just filler as theyve found nothing. I used to go into a hole with a size 9 shovel and spent nearly 33 years digging around obstacles like gas, electric, sewers, to name a few and I can assure you that I did not have the patience of some of this team. Thats fairly unusual.. Posted By : / nairn ginger biscuits / Under : . I agree with the above sentiments, get the brilliant crew back. Coincidentally, digging within a tight timeframe echoed contemporary changes underway in the profession. Archaeologist Phil Harding has paid tribute to his Time Team colleague Mick Aston who has died at the age of 66. C4 has descended to abysmal levels. I would echo it completely. maybe someone will dig you out of the tombs of c4 in time. Maybe the TT should be recalled for a one off programme and instead of digging things up they could bury the CH 4 production managers and all forthcoming rubbish they plan to screen, My wife is very upset about the end of Time Team she adds its like losing and old friend Please Please channel 4 its not to late to change your mind. I enjoy watching this program on my computer(I never knew about it 10 years ago because we have so many garbage programs here on US television, they did not show it here.). While filming Timesigns, Tim and Mick regularly discussed other ways to bring archaeology to a television audience. I was sad to see Carenza leave and sad to hear of the death of Robin Bush. So so sad, the only one of its kind and they axe it. I have watched every episode from season 1, some many times. i say dont be too quick to make a stupid decision. I really didnt like that nasty dendrochronologist who wouldnt show his results though idiot! Research digs usually ran for weeks if not months, and it was questioned whether anything approaching responsible archaeology could be achieved in a mere three days. I also never felt patronised by Tony Robinson, and loved the way he frequently asked questions that the audience would have wanted to know themselves. I suppose I will have to go back to Dads Army for a bit of sanity then, Robyn Australia Now I will be stuck with overproduced, watered down supposedly historically accurate twaddle , We held a bit of a poll a few years ago with the Pagan Federation as to what the favourite TV programme was. "Waterloo Uncovered Needs You! The key participants deserve a rest at their age, and the joy obviously just wasnt there. You can find her message at https://digventures.com/2013/03/tools-down-for-time-team-raksha-dave-on-the-end-of-an-era-and-her-new-adventure/. The format changed and little was really seen of the dig. Phil annoys me at times, by always stealing the limelight when lesser mortals had done the hard graft,but, the highlights were when lesser mortals (IE Raksha, Matt or Ian) had exciting finds and were allowed to show.Victors drawings were more lively and thought provoking than the boring computer graphics.I will start to miss the programme in two years time, when we finally complete seies 20. I met Phil Harding a few years ago at old sarum castle, Salisbury, we had a lovely chat, hes a fab bloke. CHANNEL 4, YOU ARE A COMPLETE BUNCH OF IDIOTS!!!. By the way I am 52, so I guess I am too old for channel 4, but tell my kids that. The obvious situation is that if it kept to the original cast ( which it did not ), then there would be a problem immediately when someone left, or passed on. Yes, we all love the longtime archaelogists (sorry, cant do stars I would say they wouldnt like it either it is rather derogatory of their abilities!) Tim Taylor devised the name Time Team, and in 1992 a pilot episode was filmed in Dorchester-on-Thames. Ive watched TT since it began & never missed an episode, I was in the 20s age group that they are now trying to attract when it started. These are absolutely awesome! What a bunch of idiots. I wonder how much is wasted on their wages. With its awkwardly embarassing reality programming and multitude of dream come true talent shows American television is NOTHING to emulate. Envelopes hidden at strategic points would set challenges along the lines of find the Medieval high street in two hours. Much as I still love watching them (though, annoyingly, More 4 often shows the same programme a week later), I can hardly bear to think there will be no more new ones. Congratulations to all concerned on a great program. But in this, as in so many other ways, Time Team bucks the trend. Much has been said about this show on this site but I think that all of you would be best served by reading what Raksha had to say. The Team had a comradery like that of an elite military unit. We range in age from 8yrs to 82yrs and have loved Tony, Mick, Phil, Carenza, Helen, Faye, geophys John and most of all Stuart. Time Team was the product (exclusively) of Channel 4 a commercial TV-only company that was created in the early 80s. How come journalists never seem to tell us these sorts of things? I enjoyed Time Team and I will miss it Carenza and the later Helen Geake were the highlights for me there was always a sense of tension when you heard a shout of Tony not knowing what find theyd unearthed. Thank you Time Team for all those wonderful hours of thoroughly enjoyable entertainment. 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. Recently went to Jamestown where the 1st Time Team America was tapedthat was amazing. It excited the viewers, gave a good history of The United Kingdom, and made one waiting for the next episode, all due to the enthusiasm and clever programming of the show. Im in my mid 40s. I found her to be frightening and tedious at the same time, and to this day I fast forward through the segments where she is featured. Despite the Ancient Monuments Laboratory having drawn a blank the year before, Johns state-of-the-art kit revealed the monastic complex in startling clarity. Tim Taylor explains because weve involved Wessex Archaeology in our work for the last 10 or so years the reports are really good quality. Just been reading all the comments, and a lot of sensible thinhs have been said, and a few stupid ignorant ones as well. I got fed up with running and prancing, daring to contradict real aercheologists. Dues have been paid, so get Sir Tony back, along with some younger faces and writing talent, and get cracking on a new TIME TEAM !!! This programme could have run and run with the younger people such as Helen Geake, Brigid, Matt and Raksha taking it into the next 20 years. He has since become an acknowledged expert on flint-knapping and is skilled in lithic reduction using both percussive techniques and pressure flaking, in which, instead of striking the flint with blows, pressure is exerted on the edges to shape the tool.

High quality Phil Harding Time Team-inspired gifts and merchandise. 71 years (January 25, 1950)Phil Harding / Age. A good friend of mine was a guest archaeologist on several T.T programmes and it was my good fortune to go along on production. why isn't phil harding in the new time teambt whole home disc keeps disconnecting. No other archaeology programmes on any channels tackle the wide range of sites and periods that TT did or inspired many to become keen amateurs or to start a career in archaeology. People like myself really appreciate history coming to life as Time Team presented it. I AM SO UPSET AT THE ENDING OF TIME TEAM ! Southern Gaulish Samian ware, or Green Glaze, 14th Century. Observing how so many, different, recondite specialty fields come together paleopalynography. Not that I want to live there though am quite happy to be an Australian. 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. This made him a contentious figure among some of his contemporaries and he was deeply wounded by the vociferous attacks he suffered, particularly in the early years of Time Team. Stick to Postman Pat, Time Team is too intellectual for you. but they wont last forever and young blood is always needed. I am a 57 year old Aussie and I watched this program every episode I could see. Time Team is a victim of Channel 4s misguided quest for progress, and we hope that, in some form, the programme may rise like the phoenix from the ashes and take on a persona not far removed from the popular format. 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. Interested in keeping up to date with the latest archaeological finds across Britain? On December 17, 2021, Williams was hired by the San Diego Padres to serve as the teams third base coach for the 2022 season. I enjoyed the later seasons in HD quality quite a lot, and I wish they would keep going for 20 more years. Phil received the MBE in the Queen's 80th Birthday Honours list in 2006 in recognition of his sustainable development and climate change work in the South West region. Learned lots of the history of the show from these posts but I dont know whether Ive seen the cleavage or whether Micks absence from a dig is because hes doing something else, on hols etc or because hes gone. Its sad to see another worthwhile educational program going by the wayside. For me Time Team was a cultural oasis in a desert of dumb and lazy TV. Yes, Upton Castle was a bit of a mess in terms of style, but it held our interest. Harding was a regular on Time Team from the first series in 1994 until its cancellation in 2013. my point in this is, why try to fix it if it aint broke change is not always as good as a rest. [5][6][7], In 2010, the radio series A History of the World in 100 Objects featured Harding speaking on the creation of pre-historic stone tools. 19891997. Its always sad when a long running and reputable series ends. Promotion of family values good natured banter and above all a love of the past which TT has shared with us over the years is disposed of Shame, Shame, Shame. But its also the fact that they didnt just impart accumulated knowledge, they made new discoveries as we watched. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVRe_gMtXNo, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Time_Team_episodes, I Have Fallen In Love With Land Rover Freelander! Less time looking at the scrapping away of mud from a piece of skull. I am sooooo sorry the series is over. Phil Harding is a highly accomplished archaeologist, working in the field since 1971, and inspired a whole new generation of archaeologists and historians through his work on Time Team. I would be very happy, if it was revived. axed is their a petition running ????? It may also be heresy to say so, but I think many people who were interested more in the archaeology than the banter, found the relationship between Phil and Tony, to be past its sell by date. Im an Englishman, came to Australia as a 12yo in 1970. I continue to be in awe of the fantastic skill and enthusiasm of the presenters.May TT be always available to us. It brought the money and expertise to investigate sites that would otherwise never have been touched. tony and all made history come to life to the public and we {as a family] looked forward to the one great programme aweek but know more,,,,how old are the producers ,if they watched t t perhapes they could learn that life does not always mean MONEY MORE MONEY , What a bummer! Despite some great new people who learnt fast, expecting them to produce the same calibre of product immediately was just too big a demand. I have been planning to return for several years now for a holiday and to catch up with friends and relatives. My parents watch it. I cannot believe that there will be no more Time Team, I hope the idiots at channel 4 read this site. Weve also done the landscapes around them, so if you want additional information then the Time Team reports contain that.. Were currently watching the series (2012?) And as others have said, perhaps it could be resurrected on BBC4??? And the journey is not quite over yet. I hope that someone has the sense to resorect TT even if it is repeated from the beginning. At the time, Taylor said that things were being done to ensure Aston stayed on, adding 'youve not heard the last of Mick on Time Team. He became a familiar face on the Channel 4 television series Time Team . I loved watching time team I want it to come back on the tv I miss watching it on Sunday afternoon.

Sadly, this was not the case. My second eldest is 18, and we only watch one program together as our interests are so different (that would be Time Team). There is a petition already, on Facebook, which is not the ideal place. What am I going to do now knowing there isnt an unending stream of new TTs to feed my addiction? Thank you all at Time Team for a wonderful 20 years. It opened my eyes up to so much of the UK, in particular my ignorance of Roman settlement. I have four sons we have been Time Team fans for years. Hopefully, I will be able to visit some. I know real archaeologists are dismissive of Time Team but I loved it. I remember John Gater and his long beard. (Then, of course, it goes straight to Hell). No, sadly when it comes to TV, viewers dont get what they want, they get what they are given Trouble is, the people who make these decisions can be misguided, and very stupid. I too wonder why they stopped it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The programs were never the same when Mick wasnt on. The Aussie fans are disappointed too that T T will be finishing up. You are going to be missed more than most of us realise. Perhaps if TT had included a Big Brother style segment of drunken, debauched university students or only dug up the gardens of minor celebrity reality tv show contestants theyd still be on the air.

In 2012, Aston announced he was leaving the show after criticising format changes that focused less on archaeological activities. Big Thanks Time Team,will never get tired of watching the shows,fingers crossed you can make some more.

I really didnt like that nasty dendrochronologist who wouldnt show his results though idiot! Research digs usually ran for weeks if not months, and it was questioned whether anything approaching responsible archaeology could be achieved in a mere three days. I also never felt patronised by Tony Robinson, and loved the way he frequently asked questions that the audience would have wanted to know themselves.

Dues have been paid, so get Sir Tony back, along with some younger faces and writing talent, and get cracking on a new TIME TEAM !!!

I am a 57 year old Aussie and I watched this program every episode I could see. Time Team is a victim of Channel 4s misguided quest for progress, and we hope that, in some form, the programme may rise like the phoenix from the ashes and take on a persona not far removed from the popular format. 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.
