Time Team - Behind the Scenes: a Photographic Archive

THERE IS AN UPDATED VERSION OF THIS VIDEO AVAILABLE NOW WITH CAPTIONS AND SOME ADDITIONAL PICTURES AT: • Time Team - Version 2 ...
I took part in many Time Team shoots between 1998 and about 2012, around 2 and 5 per year. It was my habit always to take a camera. I didn't always use it but I took a lot of photos, first on film and then digital. The pictures are stuffed into albums, in folders on hard drives and I don't have an accurate memory of who some of the people were or even the places. They are here for the record in a complete jumble, which reflects how I remember Time Team - just an array of people and places. You will recognize the main participants: Tony Robinson, Carenza Lewis, Phil Harding, Stewart Ainsworth, John Gator, Helen Geake and others, especially the late Mick Aston, Robin Bush and Victor Ambrus. There are here also the camera and sound crew, the researchers, directors, assistant directors, catering, runners and a host of others including members of the public who participated. I apologize for the random KZfaq copyright-free music.
The shoots represented by photos in ths film include (though I took part in quite a few more than these - and when drawing up this list I was amazed how many there were, which I had forgotten about): Season 6 1999 (Papcastle, Beauport Park, Reedham Marshes, Turkdean); Season 7 2000 (Werre-Effroy - Spitfire, Greenwich); Season 8 2001 (Llygadwy, Waltham Field); Season 9 2002 (Cheshunt, Castleford); Season 10 2003 (Dinnington); Season 11 2004 (took part in several but no pics); Season 12 2005 (Warton, Drumlanrig, South Shields); Season 13 2006 (Ffrith, and others but no pics); Season 14 2007 (Godstone, and others but no pics); Season 15 2008 (took part in several but no pics); Season 16 2009 (Friar's Wash but no pics); Season 17 2010 (Piercebridge, Litlington); Series 18 2011 (didn't take part); Series 19 2012 (Caerleon - last one for me). If I took pictures at the others I participated in I regret to say I seem to have lost them.

The behind the scenes still photos give insight into what a tremendous production each episode required - not even accounting for the post-production voice overs and editing. This gives new meaning to the “Team” in Time Team. Thank you, Guy, for sharing your photo album with fans of Time Team. Also, your music selection is so soothing, I could listen to the music without viewing the photos. In a world gone mad, I need a steady dose of more of this calming music if I only knew where to find it. Best regards, A fan (I purchased your book, Roman Britain, which I cannot recommend highly enough.)

Thank you so much Guy , so many memories , I seen maybe every TimeTeam video at least 4 times. Thats the only bit that i look back on and still finding it so relaxing and informative. recognised lots of artifacts and even sites. Great job. I follow many other archaeology sites as a result of TimeTeam. Your lectures as I call them, are riveting and make me go search further ..

Thank-you for sharing your memories. Time Team is an oasis of smart and good in a world that has too much stupid and evil.

Thanks for sharing Guy. Great photos and that last one is rather special, I can see why you left it to the end. I've just started metal detecting on a new permission next to a Roman Road, and the owner thinks he has a previously unrecorded villa on his site. When I go there I can't help thinking about Time Team sometimes, and how lovely it would have been to have got the old crew down to investigate. Now it's starting up again, who knows - if I find solid evidence of a villa (or mansio - it's next to a Roman Road), I might be getting in touch with the new production team!

I just binged all 20 seasons and what impressed me the most was the quality of the sound. Almost always outdoors with wind and weather and even when Tony or Phil turned away from the camera, every word was crisp and clean. Nice to see the mics and booms and sound personnel in your pics. Brilliant.

Wonderful photos Guy. I think it's funny how you have that way of being like "Been there, done that.....next!" when talking of your time with Time Team. Would love to see you back with them but totally get why you are going in another direction. Looking forward to more of your clips on ancient civilizations and maybe some aviation ones as well!

This is great Guy - thanks so much for posting it. Loved the one of Phil in the trench full of muck as they uncovered the Bombers.... always great to see how much of a TEAM went into creating the show.

Thank you for posting this. A great historical record, and in it's own way an archaeological dig in a way. Lots of great memories of Time Team episodes remembered with the addition of new footage/information.

Hello Guy, sorry this is a bit off topic... flicking through Netflix recently, I see there are two films based around the lost Ninth legion - Centurion and The Eagle (based on a Rosemary Sutcliffe book). Have you ever published anything on the Ninth? It would be very interesting to get a more evidence based idea of what happened, rather than the Hollywood spin. Cheers

I bet we could match the time stamp to the video pics using clothing etc to identify the episodes some of these were taken from.
