Too many people use the preposition PER incorrectly, as here. In fact, it means "for each" and is used with units to express a rate such as per lb of apples. Sadly, many people just follow the leader, so to speak, because that is what everybody does. There are many other examples available but ... 'nuf sed.

@@mbuhtz apart from some promo for waterloo dig he didn't make any vids. Empty words. I found his oldest vid though. It's on reddit sub for time team.

Margie Lewis, "watching these is how I go to sleep".

I once had a crush on Helen.

I’m guessing probably an early appearance for Paul Blinkhorn in this episode too.

so have you plotted the point in time when TR started to say G.O'Fizz?----this episode is from before that.

She was so young age was still a mid level staffer at the local archaeology office in norfolk. she runs one of those now or did a few years ago.

@@joshschneider9766 She works at the Univ. of Cambridge as a finds adviser for the PAS. I thought she worked for the British Museum but obviously not.

@Rosida Andriyana That's just the US spelling.. It's not wrong. Though why anyone would want to use a third world countries spelling escapes me.

Helps remind you how little the present can matter, given the big picture...

There always has to be a war and an enemy. Or else people might actually start to unite and the elite cant have that.

@@zoltanz288 so true, some romans can say : divide et impera ... divide and conquer or we can use "Panem et circenses".. fit well.. in modern times it means keeping the people good by giving them food and fun .. this is why sport is as important in modern society as it was in Roman times, the way a saying was used by Giovenale a Latin poet he say:" [populus] duas tantum res anxius optat panem et circenses" [People] anxiously hopes for just two things: bread and circuses" (Giovenale, Satira X[2]) Henry Ford rightly say: "Luckily the population does not understand our banking and monetary system, because if they understood it, I believe that a revolution would break out before tomorrow." the truest words of his century

Well his two centuries. I'm addition to the mass production of the 1800s he was a gentleman racer. His most notable achievement in speed was being the first human to travel over 90mph ever. Posses a young Glenn curtiss right the he'll off lol. Henry didn't die until the nineteen thirties I think it was. Donated to Hitler's party too. Guy was not a good person but did do many noteworthy things.

Boy you must have been in for a ride come 2020 and 2021...

Jason Muller you are right! I laughed when Tony said Paul is a local pottery expert :D

I recently started following Paul on FB. he posts a lot of interesting stuff. Ole Leghorn Blinkhonrn. He Stu and Robin are my faves.

Love to see Sandy Toksvig as well. Loved her through radio first at what a replacement she is in QI

@@MrBEA68 I didn't realize watching QI that I had already seen Sandi on TT live digs, but apparently she's a trained archaeologist. I'm American, so I don't know the meaning of "read at university," but I suspect it means, "has a degree in."

@@MelissaThompson432 Yes it's a peculiar anochronism from England.

3 sound/audio booms, at least 3 cameras... minimum 3 sound techs (carrying the audio bags)... that is really cool. Imagine that gang following Tony around the whole 3 days as he hustles around.

Lol

Been subscribed to your channel for some time and love your vids.

I wish it was. I discovered it on KZfaq a few years ago. Wish we had programs like this in the USA.

Holly?

@@joehilner4830 I'm in deep space, commenting on KZfaq videos! What a Smeghead.

Feel like the stress of what they did to TT shortened his life. I know he was ill before and some other issues but still. That's my take.

...this is the best show ever... PERIOD! Ladies and Gentlemen, tena... TIME TEAAAAAM!!!

For the first few years after these were posted these comments were very few and more people chose to educate and converse than to shut down conversation and make it personal. I miss the days where people wrote comments that were just positive and supportive instead of criticism, derision and, worst of all, the people coming in to track down-shirt moments of the female diggers and experts. There is another poster of these shows that gets even more of this crap and it really sucks. I once listed at least a dozen down-shirt comments alone on his site and nearly as many on Bridget's butt. There is actually a group of commentators that support each other in finding these moments and thank each other or compete to find them. Still, the way to respond is not to heap scorn on the person but to engage in conversation to educate and inform if the comment was made in ignorance, or to leave the comment alone....to choose not to feed the beast if it's a troll.

I have watched every episode over and over almost daily since he posted them and I truly am hooked for life. The appreciation I feel is beyond words. A life changer.

Thank you. That familiar face !!! couldn't remember where I had seen her before..

Yes, I also love Sandy. She gets a lot of flack from a lot of people in these comments sections and when I first saw her in one of the live digs I was a little put off by her abrasive humor but she really grew on me fast. I had never seen the great British baking show or anything else she may have been on so had no previous knowledge of her. It was a little uncomfortable for me to realize that the core of my reaction was down to a simple double standard baked into my psyche. Women in politics, entertainment and comedy roles are often held to a different standard than men. Abrasive, aggressive, or blunt women can make us uncomfortable more often than men who act the same. I'm a 50 year old woman and a feminist and thought I was above it but every now and then reality hits me and I realize I have a way to go still. It's like being non-racist and growing up surrounded by racist people and traditions. You may think you escaped it and have no racist leanings but though time reality hits and you realize you still have niggling little thoughts and prejudices in your subconscious that make you do things like not making eye contact on a street or dismissing all rap music on the whole without really listening to the lyrics of some artists that are eye-opening and true food for thought. Sorry for turning the comment section into an essay but I am disabled and have way too much time on my hands to think about things like this and realize where my thinking goes wrong and thought I'd share.

@neal thailand Pretty sure I saw an older episode of the game show before and liked it. I think I will find it again and check it out. Thanks for the heads-up:)

I am quite fond of her- I like episodes she is in, and I get rather steamed about commenters giving her putdowns.

So did I! The things I was thinking.

...and it's so rare that we get to hear Victor speaking, and then it's so soft that I have to strain to catch what he says!

Interesting.

This episod came out in March of 1999, so it's not that surprising. :D Wikipeia has a pretty good episode guide available, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Time_Team_episodes#Series_6_.281999.29

Hypatia4242 i date the pc from the britpop era, roughly 1996. Maybe out into the new lad or ladess era. We can date the pc by the number of buttons on the mouse. Humans in the last century were very pompous with decoration. Whereas now humans opt out for a mouse. But a carbon dating of coffee and marmite staines on the mouse should comfirm these dates

Say what?

Mike Airley LMAO!!!!!!

Have wondered about that myself.

Something like that would have been covered up again. It's secure where it is and one of the most importnt principles of modern archaeology is to disturb the site as little as possible.

Were there Americans that were up in arms (or didn’t get it)?

darthinvictus666, in America ‘a rubber’ means a condom. So it so it sounds very very weird for someone to say a guy needs to get his rubber out. 😄

No shit? And you think time team viewers are so stupid they don’t get that? Moron.

@@Invictus13666 it's the internet, there are stupid people. No reason to call others moron.. That's kind of stupid too.

The UK is still rebounding from the huge ice cap during the last ice age. The east coast of the uk is gradually rising and the west coast sinking. Also the draining of much of the fenland of the east coast means theres a lot more silt build up along that coast.

King's Lynn as we know it now was built on 'salt workings', this is where banks were raised to enclose a flooded area, the water was then allowed to evaporate so the remaining water left became a salt brine, this in turn was boiled off in large vats leaving the salt and collected. The resultant mounds artificially raised the ground level which in turn was built on at a later date (the modern King's Lynn)

King's Lynn is also nowhere near 32ft above sea level. The main town sits at or just above sea level with only the surrounding land gradually raising to anywhere near that figure.

Go check him out as a hippie in Season 1.

@@svenhoek Aye - You've only got coconuts there ...

I like the monty python clips in search for the holy grail

In later episodes he does have a lot of back issues, and knee issues are already a problem, as I am sure is true for a lot of the diggers. All that squatting and bending over is great for preserving the archaeology but hell on the body after decades.

NO! it was due to the fens and the area being drained by the Dutch engineers during the !700's . the locals were earning a good living from the marshes and rivers to did not want the land drained. So they kept murdering them this gave fenland people the Nick name of Fen land tigers1 Near the site is a place called castle rising where there is a corner which was part of a medieval harbour. the Corner which is by a side road reeks of onion and garlic which is now growing wild from left over imports of Onions and garlic imported from Spain. It was right on the edge of the wash and now is about two to three miles away.

@@lordeden2732 The Fens had been slowly drained over the centuries since the early Medieval period. It speeds up as the technology improves and the demand for farmland rises in the 1700's. And while there were some who were likely disappointed to see them drained away as they depended on them, there were more who were all too happy for the farmland as the population exploded during the 1700 and 1800's. This demand for more farmland due to increase in population can be seen throughout Europe, and the Fens aren't the only place being drained rapidly at the time. It is also a time of deforestation in many places for the same reason.

Or Nosferatu

Right. I think all of them are spotlessly clean each morning, though some are rumpled. I also assume that each digger has his/her own style (like Jackie with her purple leggings and skulls!) Once you figure out what you like to wear, wouldn't anyone buy a bunch of the same thing to wear on a dig?

Just watched yet again! It's too bad people are so unkind about individuals. I had trouble understanding Dr. Holbrook for many seasons but with a little grace and mercy I learned to decipher his speech (impediment?). Ms Toksvig has a strained voice but so what - she's allowed to be imperfect. It's a documentary, for heaven's sake!

Or taking some extra pairs in the same color could also be handy...

You're not alone

Her husband might not be wise to clue in either lol

Well she sure is a cutie. I guess that a lot of us guys had a crush on Helen.

Poor guy had to be in so much pain. A slipped disc is miserably painful and they never really heal completely. He is a hell of a man to show up for work with that kind of injury.

@@deborahparham3783 yeah, true professional!

She didn't get near dirt unless it meant she'd get some camera time. I know she had a lot of personal problems while working on the show, but it didn't excuse her butting in to conversations and interrupting experts.

@@lucygray6162 interesting! I had no idea

@@sa.w.s.3070 If you had done a bit of investigating

Not 20 years ago no.

@@SB-sj4uz Actually in one earlier episode they used an early "drone" (which will probably show up in a dig in a later episode).... Mick loves aerial archaeology....

When we did History Hunters (basically Time Team out to play) at Marshfield in the Cotswolds, about 1996 (can't remember the exact date), they had a quarter-size helicopter that was used as a drone would be now: I remember watching it fly down Marshfield High Street and thinking 'This is the future'. Drones didn't really become cheap and useful enough until about 2010.

Vince what do you suppose the likelihood of an eight episode season of shows mimicking turkdean revisited being green lot would be if I can get it crowd funded? surely there's enough time team die hard that would chip in. I've always thought a short season highlighting the long term impact of time team on the archaeology of Britain would be a brilliant thing. Could get dignation in on it and local archaeology groups too maybe...
