Joining you in this reflection as well.

Same here; the kids made me sad...I think I would’ve gone crazy losing them all like that. Very appreciative to have been born at the time I have.

@@mamavswild Times have not changed as much . My grandmother lost seven of her children in childhood as least two of whom I know lived less than a day .

ed lechleiter That’s terrible! I’m so sorry to hear that.

@@mamavswild That tends to happen without or little medical care.

💯❤

This is at least the second time it's happened in the series, Mark Horton having used the quip in a previous episode.

Plus she has that lovely punchable face!

I do hope you meant pinchable sir lol

Blinkhorn is hugely knowledgeable and a great asset to the team, albeit a little bit grumpy at times as you point out :)

we are all so pleased to hear your opinions...do keep us informed. How do you feel about your neighbours for example?

I second that, Khasab. Pray, do tell you others.

Lisa Kilmer I'm sure they are all relieved that you now approve of them...

I see that Carenza left after Season 12. Maybe we just accept what seems to be there...but has anyone else seen a possibly intentional resemblance in the Time Team intro image?

Speak for yourself, Karen. Dead is dead.

I could imagine

I think the mafia might have the answer to that !

In the US, it might be Jimmy Hoffa...

And if you look at the size of his house, big enough that he and his family is like a marble rattling around in a 5 gallon bucket tossed down a hill... And he is building a separate house for her. Somehow I don't see his joke as being completely a joke. A bit of truth in it maybe.

You do know TT has been off air a while, yes?

@@Invictus13666He asked about there ever being a SPECIAL. And behold! there have been.

@@lilianevanfrankrijk7490 read it again, Francis: the question was not ‘has there been’ but rather ‘will there be’. I know reading can be challenging, especially some, but if you’re going to come at me-be precise.

Michelle Twidwell I mean no offense to Icu Alaska, but as you noticed from Icu Alaska's good reply some people are uncomfortable dealing with mortality that close. It's not a "bad" thing at all, it's just the way people are. I know some of my close friends had issues dealing with my mortality when I disclosed having my own life threatening episode which thankfully passed for now. I understood how they did not want to be confronted with their own mortality. Again it's not a bad thing, it's just how people feel about death. For some it's uncomfortable...

+Michelle Twidwell At the end Tony says they re-interred them all. So they are all (or at least mostly) still there!

+Melissa T I think the standard practice is to re-inter such remains in the churchyard of the nearest church.

Quoting Wessex Archaeology post-dig report: "Only those graves which were too shallow to survive disturbance by the subsequent building works were subject to excavation; these were excavated in full. Other burials, the grave for which extended below the level of expected disturbance, were recorded but left in situ." "On completion of the field work all trenches were reinstated, the burials remaining in situ first being covered with a terram membrane." .

Building atop graves has been done. They even made a movie about it. 'Poltergeist'?

That’s because of so much more foolishness, like people commenting on the comments.

Or garden features, he won't have any of that either.....

Go in at night and use a dimmer light, good luck......😊

😅😅😅.

No, it was a training project for his interns.

Love that! 😄

TPHVICTIMS Well actually he did it on two days, but on day two he had to Call in sick with hangovers as Mick had been by to se the fine Stone Phil found.

They had a beer tanker standing by to keep him going

+Stannous Flouride You, Sir, are the real MVP, looking up all those sites and posting the coordinates.

Cheers, thanks.

Use Google Earth. You can either try copying and pasting the coordinates into the search bar of GE, or just move the screen around until the coordinates you see on the bottom match up with the ones that Stannous has provided.

There would have been burial records however they have been lost with destruction of the church.

not BBC,Channel4 independant channel

Well, I’m a lady (who doesn’t swing that way) but she’s lovely. I kinda have a thing for Phil LOL But I tend to appreciate any man who has a chance to hold his own in an Intelligent conversation with me! 😉.

Well, I really like Helen. She is so knowledgeable and sweet. She is a true lady with a gracious demeanor that is very appealing. She is also very pretty.

NutsAboutNames, same! 😂

No, it's just a generic building - they would have been Bible stories.

It's common in anthropology, for example to distinguish our species H. sapiens sapiens, considered gracile, in comparison with the much sturdier Neanderthals.

I know the word because Piers Anthony used it as a name for one of his undead inhabitants of Xanth....

Everyone constantly referred to Richard III's bones as 'gracile' .

Tripleransom Richard III was referred to as slender and thin-boned even by contemporaries, this never stopped him from doing his level-best on the battlefield.

Me, too. My ex-husband, for one.

+rachelle e. ROFL !!!

+rachelle e. Thanks a lot... I just snarfed water up my nose when I burst out laughing as I read your comment. :D

+Fangs4DaMemories Happy to be snarf-worthy!

+rachelle e. heh, great sense of humor.. hope the next guy is better for ya. we are out there.. most of us are just hermits. laugh.. goes back to my box. rock on.

Pits :P

Yeah, how dare the guy pirating a tv show and uploading it to a site where you can watch it free not have recorded it in full 4K.

A 3-hour tour??

That joke was a bit potty......

I think he has dental tools for fine work...I'd like to know what Mick carries in the bag over his shoulder in so many of the episodes...and I'm wondering if it's the walkie-talkie they use to communicate across distant sites?

A new hat....

Mick's bag usually had the camera and accessories (lenses and so on) that he carried. He never used a digital camera, and used transparency film, and a slide projector when giving talks (he never used Powerpoint or similar either). I know this because on more than one occasion when he was giving talks to local groups, I was the person who had to manually change the slide when Mick said 'Next!'. I often got so fascinated by what he was saying that he'd have to say it twice.

@@vincerussett7922 The thing I like best about Mick, in retrospect (I never knew he existed until after his death) is the cheerful, charming way he had of doing exactly what he wanted the majority of the time.... I have a feeling I would have been a willing participant if given the chance.

@@MelissaThompson432 he never was. His whole life was academia. Participating means watching others work.

Slumber? They’re dead.

Actually none of those things, although legally the police should be called. Please don’t post bullshit simply because you wish attention.

@@Invictus13666 You’re so lackluster you cannot even tell when someone is making a joke. You must be fun at parties…you even liked your own comment because who on earth besides someone as dour as you could not tell when someone is being lighthearted. And your comment history is just as nasty as this one.

@@yeoldeyoungin9745 I don’t like my own comments, kiddo. Now toodle-ooo, off you go.

Or renegotiate the fee to see nothing an keep going 😅

@@Invictus13666 Wow you have a pathological inability to understand a joke!

Actually sounds like he has them removed and the. New ones not in yet. The way he 'sucks' his lips in not wanting to show he lack of teeth.

No, it's distortion in the sound track. Everyone sounds like they have a lisp, which they don't (if you watch another episode).

Yeah there’s bodies popping all over the place on this one- as an American I’m sitting here like 😟😟😟

there is nothing blessed about being poor and landless it is hell

i wish the team showed some compassion for the poor the plague victims 50% of the pop died and forwomen in those horrible times and the slaves from viking times to victorian times there were slaves and they mostly ignore the horrible lives they had just because they were booty or POWs

You may not realize that the archaeologists on Time Team worked full time at their regular jobs in addition to TT 3 days a week. Phil, in particular, who was in his mid 50s when this was filmed, was already having to make concessions due to degenerative back issues that are a result of field work. I know all this from watching the show. If you watch him dig, he throws shovel loads of dirt up out of holes he stands in well over his height, and you can't do that if all you do is work three days a week and drink beer. I get that you're bitter and resentful, but Phil didn't cause your problems.

Fast forward then.
