I'm relatively new to Time Team but I am fast becoming emotionally attached to these archeological goof-balls. In this older episode it's fun to see Tony and Phil (and their hair) so much younger. I had no idea this series has been running for so many years. But longevity is a true sign of quality. I'm glad to have finally discovered this wonderful show. Better late than never. Now I must rush off. I want to see how many episodes of Time Team I can binge watch in just three days and time is ticking away. 😉👍🏻 LL

Being an archeologist is one part hard work, one part academics and two parts imagination and hope! I love this show and Victor's paintings that bring everything alive!

"the Global Positioning System, as it is called-" and right there one really gets a sense of how old this show is

This is the earliest recorded appearance of Mick Aston's striped jumper!

I like how Matt "volunteers" for these extra curricular assignments.

An ode to what a great television show is: entertainment and education with soul and a beating heart! I'm Portuguese and living in Portugal and I just became a Patreon for Time Team's return in the Digital Realm and new content creation. All the best and here's to 20 seasons more with the same passion for Archeology and History!

I'm disabled and will never be able to visit your beautiful country in person. I absolutely love seeing it through Time Team though, lovely.

I love this show, a great cast. R.I.P. Mick Aston and Robin Bush.

These shows have been a welcome relief during the Covid 19 outbreak. Thank you!

"Do you have a volunteer?" "Yes" Quick cut to Tony looking somewhat uneasy 🤣

LOOK AT THE HEADS OF HAIR ON THOSE LADS!! Absolutely LOVE these Time Team episodes. Can't believe we missed out on these in Canada.

9:53 is the first documented TT appearance of my favourite landscape archaeologist, Stewart Ainsworth.

Is this the official Time Team channel? with episodes in good quality? Guys, you just made my day! There were only several seasons broadcasted in Russia, so I had to watch other episodes in low quality. After so many episodes it's a deep feeling of loss when the series was closed, and especially after news of Prof. Mick Aston's death

Even though I am at home in the far south of Germany, thanks to your broadcast, I am learning a lot about our common culture, which has made us for over many thousand years to what we are today! Thanks to the team who shares with me, as a fence guest, the secrets of the past!

Its great that they came in to help the other team establish basis for more funding.

So it’s 2021 and I just ground this program. Binged for a week then decided to see what Phil was up to ( great things obviously). This sadly brought me to the reality that we lost Mitch In 2013 no less. Must say it kinda broke my heart

I love this show! By the time I'd watched them all I just start all over again because there are so many that I've forgotten what the details are and it's like watching new ones all over again! Love it!!!!!

20:30. It is simply amazing that they explain what GPS is! Back then, it was quite a novelty, and now you have it in a rather affordable watch format! We take technology so much for granted these days. We should be more thankful of all technology is doing for mankind.

Every time I see a new episode I think it’s my favorite. I think I’m just in love with the whole series of videos. I’m sorry this series has ended even before I discovered it.

I am glad to see that Tony has not changed much in the 4 years I have been following Time Team. He is ALWAYS disheartened. He expects to find great things constantly. Anyone who has ever done archeology knows that the majority of times no great finds are made. Phil and the others are excited with any and all finds because each find, no matter how small, helos to add to history. I love this program!

YES! GO BACK! I can't stress enough how much I'd like to see some revisits of the 20 years where people have continued research, and you might not even have to dig, or maybe the scheduling will allow you to dig a bit more... even just an update and review would be "smashing" as you brits say, or "awesome, dude" in my language. Add to that the new technology available and the ladar that's already been done nearly worldwide and I think you can answer quite a few questions. I'm still not through your oldies and goodies but I wait with bated breath for some new ones. I hope you can get some of the old team back, at least to supervise.

Greatly apreciated and today to see them so young it's also a gift...

I haven't seen any of these very early episodes so this is such a treat-especially seeing Mick and his candy stripe sweater. I can't believe Carenza has always been so young and pretty!

Nice to see the team in their younger days....and Tony being amazed by the GPS system.....happy days.

RIP Victor Ambrus, I missed his artwork in the later seasons.

I never saw this before but it gives me such a powerful feeling of nostalgia! What a great show.

Love, love, love this show!!! It’s fun to see the TT gang so young. As Tony has so much hair I keep expecting him to suddenly tell Mick and Phil that he has a cunning plan! All hail Baldric!

Real TV and genuinely interesting. Man, I really miss the 90's.

Thank You for posting! Inevitably I find myself smiling halfway through the show. How I wish we had these sort of TV programs over on this side of the Atlantic. Post more shows, I'll watch!

Holy cow!………wern’t we young once! Just beautiful. Yes, that is what youth is.

I'm a direct descendant of Somerled, then the MacDonalds. Awesome episode!!

I hope you're posting all 20 seasons and specials

these guys have been together an amazing long time. thanks for the continuity.

A BRILLIANT Example that you don't need a lot of fancy technology and graphics to make a cracking good TV Program. All you need is a bunch of BRILLIANT People! 👍

This crew has so much fun and consistently. It’s always great to watch.

I love this part of Scottish history! What happened after is very sad however, but history moves forward.

So grateful to time team for bringing archaeology( and history) into the mainstream of British consciousness and for the uploads on KZfaq ... has made it available to people living outside the UK. Such a shame it all came to an end . But at least there are plenty of episodes to watch over and over again! ❤️ Mick ‘s legacy lives on. We miss you.

Such a beautiful place Scotland 22:07 Gosh, Celtic/ Scottish music is so movingly warm & emotional

I'm so glad I clicked on that Timeline video. Now I'm a big Time Team fan! Such an awesome cast. Thanks for sharing :)

I wonder if the island wasn't much smaller at the time, because the sea levels were so much higher and the general water levels were probably too.

Love time team guys & gals!! They R so smart… love to hear their synopsis of most all they find. LOVING OUR HISTORY!! 👍👍👍

Mick’s colorful sweater is amazing!!! My favorite phrases so far is “ditch play”. You all crack me up with your sense of humor. Yet have me on the edge of my seat as I watch.

I love the use and conversion on GPS as some one who uses it professionally every day. Its amazing how they seem so skeptical at that time of this new technology

Everyone is sooooooo young! So good to see this episode!

the more episodes i watch, the more i wish i could have been there with the team on their digs/adventures

Look how young they were! This show was lightning in a bottle. They tried to have an American version of time team. It only lasted one or two seasons. I really liked it. But it just wasn't the same. And it never took off. Btw Phil Harding is a legend in my house. Love that guy.

How exciting! I'm born a McDonald. I'm American and my Ancestor Alexander Mcdanold was a Jacobite who came here by prison ship. We have traced back to the 1500 Scotland.

The whiskey certainly seemed to be doing its job! Really interesting episode, thanks for posting!

Some years ago I had my DNA checked and I was told that I was a descendant of Sommerled. I had no idea who this man was,so It's nice to have some information about him and that over 1,000 years ago knowing that I've got Norse/Viking ancestry. Somewhere down the ages an ancestor must have married, or cohabited with an English/Saxon, hence my English name. It's a shame that Time Team wasn't around then and I'd have the full details to my Family History, now lost in the past.

I love when they share a drink together. #Friends

That's my family clan :) the MacDonalds. We have a huge presence still in Jura, Argyleshire, Edinburgh, and Skye

I really enjoyed the historical illustrator in the old Time Team programs.

2:02. Tony: I'm gonna find out exactly what the Time Team are gonna do. 2:10 Time Team: Bail water, Tony. Looks like we're gonna bail water for the next three days.

Episode 5 (Season 2, Episode 1) The Lord of the Isles, Aired: January 8, 1995

9:45. “When I was young and punk was alive!!” Haha that dude gets it

Thank you SO much for uploading in 1080p!!! You actually understand that uploading standard definition content in standard definition will give it much lower bitrate and quality, upscaling it to 1080p provides objectively superior results as this video so obviously proves.

Fantastic watch during CoVid pandemic. Season 2. Brilliant.

A look at Tonys head gives a strong clue to the timeline, if his hair's brown it's early.

The music that starts at 22:06 is "Frideray" by Dougie Pincock and Alan Reid of the old Scottish group Battlefield Band.

Phil's hat is soooo clean and new!

oh man, I don't think I've ever seen Mick's sweater in it's normal, non-stretched out beyond recognition, form.

Love following this time line. How long has it been running, Tony has never stopped, seen him from a young feller with a lot of hair (and an nice beak, guess that is why he keeps going he can smell out more things than others can not). leading a team like this you end up learning a lot. He has a way of doing commentary that sorta drags you in, There is one other person that has been able to do so David Attenborough . You seem to follow in his footsteps and going a lot further. Were he was around the world you are doing it from home (despite the rain slipper stuff) manage to achieve awesome results.

So this is it, where the infamous hat on Phil's head and M. Aston's colourful jumper have their first appearance in the show. I wonder what their story is...

It’s quite strange to have GPS described as brand new technology. It’s amazing how much technology has developed and changed in 25+ years.

I hope you guys do more videos about the lords of the isles there's almost no videos about them on youtube and they got an amazing history to learn about.

Thank you all so much for this amazing programme!👍✌

Become a fan for sure but mostly seen the 2nd decades shows. But then I saw the favorites show and finds from Islay came up. I am a Donald so this instantly drew my full attention.

Robin Bush reminds me of Dr. Frasier Crane in some ways.

It looks like the early days of Phill's hat. No stains, and the feather is on the opposite side.

There were "petty kingdoms" in Scotland. One other that I have heard of is the "Kingdom of Fife".

Long time fan, instantly transported some 30 odd years back in time. Just stumbled across the channel and burrowing through all the classics. Great new content too. 🙂

I thought this might have been the only video about Islay where they didn't mention whisky but at 30:40 they bring out a bottle. It is slightly difficult to work out what it is but by the shape of the green bottle and the Red/Black/Gold colour scheme, it looks like the back label from a Bunnahabhain 12-Year-Old from the 1990s. (This dates the episode from that period). This makes sense as the distillery is only a short distance from Finlaggan.

Has anyone noticed archaeologist Phil sounds like Mr. Moulterd from Grace and Favour ?? 😂😂😂 Love this show- very exciting and educational.

Ah, now I understand where my family got the idea to build sod houses when they immigrated from UK to the Saskatchewan prairie.

I don't think there has ever been an episode of Time Team ever made where it didn't 'Bucket Down'!!!

Loved it! This archeologist team is down to earth in terminology, and scientific enough to let you know what you are looking at, what it was used for while they unearth The Counsel Island. Well worth an hour of history that will capture the imagination. It's like uncovering the great, great, great XXX of the first Big Mac! You don't have to ask, where's the beef? AMAZING!

Love it have only just found these programmes and cant believe my luck thank u soo very much

This episode is so old, there’s no excavator and the team has to dig sod out by hand!

I love that cutting insult to Tony,” Treasure Hunter”!! Great dig once again!

Thank you for posting these. Sincerely

really dates the episode when the US military GPS was the only GPS system available, and that they felt a need to explain what GPS is

Baldrick to the rescue.

Oh my god, having to explain GPS. 😂 This was such another time.

28:04 First time I've heard 'paps' used in a socially acceptable manner!:-)💜🇺🇸

Wow, such amazing results! Another great episode

The Spaniards used the linen quilted top in the 16th invasion of Colombia. One chronicler wrote that he saw one soldier covered in so many arrows buried into the quilting, looking like a porcupine. The soldier had no wounds

Loving these shows so much! Any other recommendations? Thanks 👍👍👍

Thank you for sharing these wonderful vidwos!!

Wow they're so young!

So, when I watch Time Team on KZfaq I always open up Google Earth and find their dig sites. Anyone else?

Is this the FIRST appearance of Mick's rainbow sweater (jumper)? 😃😃😃

What a difference twenty-eight years make. Look at the size of that GPS receiver! 20:34 He explains that the resolution is 10 millimeters (1 centimeter, about 4/10 of an inch). That's surprising. Civilian GPS equipment is supposed to have no better resolution in it than about 1 meter or 1 yard and to insert random moments of being even less accurate, so that it can't be taken by rival groups for precise military use.

From 1995! Stewart's beard looks downright "in" again!

So glad they got good weather. Believe me they did.

I can imagine how many jokes must’ve been made towards paps of dura haha

Thought about setting up various playlists for Roman, mediaeval, and neolithic stuff? I like this series but I never thought it was allowed to reach its full potential.

lol! I’m American and Tony’s comment about the American satellites and “Star Wars” a moniker given by Reagan era people and admin to an effort to militarize space as part of the Cold War made me laugh. I’m 48 and GenX so it’s doubly funny.

Yes, cloth armor like aketon or gambeson was pretty much the standard kit for most warriors. Metal is highly expensive (also the reason why axes were so common), as is leather. But flax and wool are regrowing and in ample supply. Metal is expensive simply due to production. Find the ore, smelt it, smith it. All that work could also be used to create a helmet, gloves, greaves or a weapon instead of a piece of armor. And leather means killing the animal. A dead cow can neither plow the field nor give milk. A dead sheep won't give wool. A dead horse can't be ridden. So there are better uses than skinning the animal for leather. Obviously not all pieces of the body can be properly protected with cloth. So helmets, gauntlets, boots, etc are still used. But the body will rely on cloth. Perhaps in combination with mail against piercing weapons, but not metal alone. And by later times when full plate became more common, the weapons also changed into hammers and maces that can denk the armor.

If that is the scottish summer, what does the scotish autumn and winter look like? Nevertheless beautiful landscape and I love the scottish accent…

Really enjoyed this video. Makes me wonder if the NMS was able to continue on this amazing site.
