It's great seeing Phil again, Time Team was a staple for me in the 90s, and Phil has always been a larger than life character; great to see he still has the presence

It should be Sir Phil Harding.

I never realised how much I missed the dulcet tones of Phil Harding. What a proper legend. Keep it up Phil!

Hey, Phil got a new hat! Good to see him again.

The new Time Team resurrection is mostly enjoyable, but I keep hoping Phil will show up. He was undoubtedly one of the best participants in the original show. Bring him back, please!!!

Please do more Phil Harding documentaries, this guy inspires generations of kids across the world, get him some funding BBC Australia an NZ loves you Phil please make more

Been waiting for wor Phil to get his own show since I've been watching archeology time team legend 🙌

You can keep all your footballers & celebrities I would *LOVE* to have a beer with Phil! 👍🍻

PHIL! Greatest field archeologist on earth. That man can talk about brewing tea and I'd be happy to listen.

I absolutely agree. Phil has contributed so very much archaeologically and therefore socially to the cultural awareness and historical knowledge of your wonderful country. And this coming from an American and Phil Harding admirer, so thank you Phil!

The new Time Team has brought back Tony, now we just need Phil and we're all set. It's just not the same without the people. Phil was always my favorite, always came through in the clutch!!

I watched most of the Time Team episodes on KZfaq not long ago and loved it. Although years have passed since the team's last dig together, I am glad to see that Phil is still in the public eye regarding archaeology.

I remember Phil on time team, he was always one of my favorite. Glad to see he's still on the ball so to speak.

Phil Harding - my hero. Thank you for the upload.

Phil your sir are one of the most amazing men on this planet, we love you phil so very much, you are literally loved by everyone, ❤

Always great to listen to and watch Mr. P. Harding.

Thank you all; Waterloo Uncovered is fundamentally respectable & eminently worthy, in all its goals. Even as a rabid TimeTeam fan, I absolutely understand Phil staying with WU. Always nice to see Phil.

Now Sir Tony has the got onboard with the new Time Team YT channel programmes I’m hoping that Phil will too👍👍

Really nice to see Mr Harding again. I miss him on the re make of Time Team.

So excited to see a new Phil Harding video. He's participated in some amazing work, telling the difficult story of Waterloo.

I like the way that Phil asks the questions on our behalf. Very professional just like Tony Robinson did in the Time Team espisodes.

Phil Forever!!!!

I hope Phil sees this comment- him on time team inspired me to go into archaeology, focusing on late Roman/early Byzantine in the Levant. Thank you Phil for being a inspiration!

The Battle of Waterloo was horrific in its cost to the poor soldiers and the horses. There are very few human remains because at a later time the mass graves were dug up for fertilizer. I’m glad to see that there is now more respect paid to the men who fought there.

My forefather born in 1786 was made ready to go to Waterloo I read in an old news paper but for some reason he never did. He stayed to defend a a fortified city in the Netherlands. I guess he was lucky.

Phil Harding is a legend. I met him once at a proper pub in Salisbury (Hop Back brewery) and shook his hand and said thank you for what you do. My mate from Poole was with me and he asked him if he was going to Wetherspoons next? If looks could kill etc... We have both kinds of music - Rock AND Roll !! 🎶🎸😎👍

Love Phil. Such a nice person.

Phil, you old dog you! I felt so sentimental when I saw this program. I missed you and your mates from the Time Team days. Made me go back and rewatch some of the episodes. So good to see you again. Greetings from a Danish guy in China

Warning: This video contains examples of a broad West Country accent which some viewers may find distressing. But which we f*#cking love. Aarr...

Grand to see Phil again. I know it is a year later but still so good to Phil. Love the neww hat.

Nice video Phil, may God Bless all those who have fallen...🌲🌲🌲

I didn't think Phil could be outdone as a TV presenter, but I think his nose hair won the limelight this time.

Listening to Phil describe the battlefield, you can picture almost the whole battle as it happened. When he speaks, you can't help but absorb everything he says. Mick was just like that. You can't help but be totally absorbed in the history.

I been trying to spot Phil's new hat in other Waterloo digs, and it is fun. I make sure I drink a pint every time I see the hat. I think Hilde is there, too.

Yes Phil Harding is a real trooper! Yes he should be Knighted definitely. Great video thank you 😊 I was there 4 years ago and it was fantastic 😊

My Ancestor William Taylor was at Waterloo in the 11th Dragoons Cavalry Regiment, loved your video..

The emotional ending with the soldiers is a nuanced addition to this video. Contemplate their reaction.

More, more, more!!!

Archeology is calming. It is.🥰🇨🇦💥

I love listening to phil! He was always such a joy on Time Team

Phil Harding your the best.

Phil. My favorite pirate 😊

So brilliant and respectfully presented. Thank you for all you’ve done are doing to enhance today’s society and bring respect to those who died so awfully💝

great seeing Phil

Phil is presenting like a pro. (Sir) Tony must be proud :) Very nice Video :)

Never been here, but was at our Gettysburg and standing there, reading Lincoln's address, I was moved to tears, very unusual for me. But the sense of history and lives lost was profound

Another reason this is interesting is that we all have ancestors or relatives (however distant) who fought or could have fought there. Knowing their stories helps us to honor those individuals, but also our distant relatives who might have been in that position. Well worth doing more studies. I hope such projects can get further funding.

Amazing and glorious battle, very unique too with no war graves to be found

Phil is brilliant!

Fantastic !! and lovely to see Mr Harding looking well , would love to meet this guy and have a chat i'd be there for days !!!! keep up the good work and hopefully many more exiting finds to come ...Shaun.

Please Phil join the New Time Team then it will be complete it's not the Time Team without Phil Harding.😊

Didn’t need a warning for the skeletons , needed a warning for Phils Jean shorts… 😮 I mean jorts.

I love Phil💙💙💙

Love Uncle Phil

"There's LOADS of archaeology there, look...... " ;)

Good show Phil ! Like the New Hat !

Fascinating archeology..history speaks!!

Thanks Phil. Such an interesting story ❤

Glad to see a new hat.

Phil is absolute ledgend in archeaology - but please please buy a nose trimmer

I visited Waterloo in 1988. I'll have to go back at some point.

Thank you very much. 👏🏼👏🏼🌹🌹🌹💕

…….and now who can hear the ABBA song, Waterloo, playing in their head during this thing 🫣🫣🤣🤣

Love the new hat mate 👌

It is always a pleasure to see Phil Harding and share his passion for archaeology. It is sad to think of the loss of all those men, and the suffering that they and their horses had to endure for power hungry rulers that couldn't care less for them. True indeed are King Solomon's words, that man has dominated man to his injury. Ecclesiastes 8:9 What joyous reunions and interesting stories will be enjoyed when those men return in the future resurrection that William Tyndale upheld against Sir Thomas More's support of the Platonic doctrine of an immortal soul. John 5:28,29

didn’t know he was still alive but i’m glad he is, shame he’s not on tv anymore , one of those interesting characters who always a wake into a party

Thanks Phil. Love this. Cheers from Canada

When I visited Waterloo back in 2017, I came across a guy sitting in a field near Hougoumont, a huge map spread out before him. Tickled by my curiosity, I decided to have a chat with him. Turned out his name was also Phil, he was ex military and was rehearsing a tour of the Waterloo battlefield he was going to give the year after. He happily summed it all up for me, but what got me by surprise back then, and something you also did not mention, was him not knowing about Grouchy’s strawberries ‘incident’ 😉 To this day, if you talk about the battle of Waterloo in a French speaking environment, sooner or later ‘les fraises de Grouchy’ will be mentioned for being the reason why Napoleon mistakenly thought the Prussians were Grouchy’s men and, according to some, lost the battle. This is solely based upon the story that Grouchy turned up late at a critical stage of the battle because he had enjoyed a late breakfast of strawberries. It is probably only an anecdote; let’s face it, scapegoats haven’t been invented yesterday but, according to Phil, there apparently is a scene in a film about that battle in which they kept showing Grouchy eating strawberries, the meaning of which had, until I told him about it, eluded him. Anyway, thanks for this, keep up the good work! (+Waves to ex-military Phil in case you happen to read this 🙂)

I once drove my rental car across a small dirt road on the battlefield, in driving rain, very late at night, while Metallica's one was playing on the radio. Chills!

So Great 👌🏻✌🏻thx

I like Plancenoit. It's a nice place for a beer and some grub, far less touristy than Mont St. Jean.

He is channeling Tony. Great stuff.

ngl we need a phil podcast once a week! aha

I would love to see some new Time Team specials. One or two specials a year shouldn’t be too demanding to get the crew back together.

Phil!!

Brave Liam and Ash for giving their opinions

Really enjoyed the video including all the nostril hair Phil 👍.

Those mutton chops and nose hairs are about to knit each other together!

Crikey mate. Nice to see ya. Glad you're still interested in the job you luv. Where u been hiding. luv watching u. your a very funny man. I luv your accent. Butiful as del boy would put it. Catch u on the flip side. From UK 🇬🇧👍👍b Safe take care where ever you are. PEACE ☮️ an old cockney gal. Merry Christmas and a happy new year to you all. 🎄🍷🍾🎁🍺⛄❄️🦃🕊️

Phil Harding for Prime Minister! 👍😁

I have an ancestor who was at the battle of Waterloo, Major general Henry Barry.

Emotionant evenimentul. Felicitări arheologilor pentru efortul depus. O lectie se poate trage din acest eveniment care a avut loc in urma cu 200 de ani. Aceea lectie ne spune ca niciodata nu trebuie sa duci o lupta pe teritoriul adversarului ca poti avea surprize neplacute precum infrangerea pe campul de lupta. Acel teritoriu poate fi Rusia s-au Anglia acelor vremuri. Si totusi istoria ramane o carte deschisa pentru vremurile actuale. Oare am invatat ceva din istoria trecuta?

12:38 can you hear a mouth breathing? Love the show.

That horse trench is very similar to the horse trench at the Custer Battlefield at the Little Bighorn in the US.

Were ever any excavations done at Quatre Bras where the Flemish and Dutch attacked the French two days before the actual battle at Waterloo?

nice hat phil

19:20 Thanks French archaeology cougar for explaining the dead horse. 🎠

Such a wonderful & fascinating project this has been! Is Peter Ginn still involved?

Here because I came across a gentleman through work today in Tranent Scotland, who is involved with this work, with Phil and his colleagues, seen some of the pics I've just seen video of on here! Very intriguing guy indeed. Keep up the awsome work. Without them, this would be lost to time forever.

Could you show the various locations on a map as you progress around the area, please?

Had a walk around the site around 30 years ago, really interresting. The museum? I don't know if it's changed but it was a little like 'Les Invalides' in Paris, in so much as you woudn't know that The French lost? Doesn't matter that much I suppose?

Presumably the "donate" option stays on the website after we've all dug ourselves out from the holiday spending....

The horses/mules should be identifiable by whether one of the hoofs is missing. The British marked one per animal, and when it died the farrier would remove it to count the loss in the accounts for money and supples.

That was a Goodun !

Phil has a new hat! Find me some smelling salts!

It will be interesting to see the results concerning the human skeleton. If it is possible to confirm and identify the nationality of the soldier, where will he be re interred since there are no military cemeteries for the casualties of the battle of Waterloo.

Where did the material for the big hill built for the monument? If it came from the battle fields perhaps there are bones or items in that stuff.

Are people so pussified these days they need a warning to see a skeleton of someone who died quite a while ago? Shout out to Big Phil.

Sounds like a lot of metal detectorists have had a go on a lot of it, over the years.

Phil! Nose clippers! Get some.
