While the TV producers have obviously ruined a formula that entertained and educated millions of people worldwide for a couple of decades, I assume it is now beyond recall. The major players seem tired and cranky, and while they are all professionals and are trying very hard to be positive and upbeat, its obvious that they are trying, and that ruins it.

Yes, the interest remains for the show. I regularly tape the programmes as it is shown on a variety of stations, history,yesterday, and channel 4 being some. We have it so easy in this day and age to compare to others in the past and we so loved it when Tony came to Australia and did some shows about our ancestral heritage,we all walk past so much and never notice whats in front of us,we miss so much rich knowledge right under our feet. although a WONDERFUL outlet for the undoubted heroes, is not archaeology and not what I feel Time Team needs.

Now, instead of honest archeology, we are going to be swamped with American hystorical programming, in which they assume we all have a 1 second attention span, need constant recaps (at least 4 per 10 minute part) and need it all (badly) acted out by ridiculous, cheap, and hugely inaccurate costumes, backgrounds and language.

The technology now at our disposal, and a new generation of archaeologists joining the team, is a fantastic prospect. It was my favourite show for many years and definitely, for me, left so many other scientifically accurate but boring-as-bat-poo documentaries in its dust. Much better than most of the rubbish we get now that there are so many channels chasing adverts & broadcasting ever increasing repeats. I have loved it from the first episode and who cares if Tony is a little OTT sometimes, he keeps it entertaining and all together. The writing was on the wall when it regularly began featuring cleavage shots of diggers and the dreaded re-enactments. The onscreen introduction of team members and their specialist skills was a hangover from a time when participants would have varied from week to week, rather than coalescing into a core group. if you can i would a reply.also HELEN IS ALSO VERY GOOD.

Great news that it is ending now we can have even more programs about yobs drinking abroad, crappy makeovers, the life of white van drivers and buying houses that cost 250,000 or more.

Time Team you have inspired so many people .THANK YOU. & has never been more pi**ed off 2 here that its being I started watching TT in 1998 (2 years after leaving school) and it showed that history can be not only interesting but also fun. Time Team did a superb job and has an excellent track record of quality archaeology, bringing the subject to millions via TV and publishing the results! Their ethos has been propagated through the educational system and I feel that its still there (though fading) Just been reading all the comments, and a lot of sensible thinhs have been said, and a few stupid ignorant ones as well. The presenters never got enough credit for me, Phil, a hero and when can I share a pint with you? He joined the Royal Commission on the Historical Monuments of England (now part of English Heritage) in 1985, and is now head of its Landscape Investigation Team based in York, England. Not on the Live I dug at. I am now watching past digs being repeated on More Four. There is more than enough rubbish shown on tv so why axe a good item that entertains, explains and raises more questions. I have watched Time Team for years as has my son and many many friends. I was glued to the screen.. Thankyou for what we have ! In 224 digs, Time Team revolutionised the presentation of archaeology on TV (which before had focussed largely on the Classical world), bringing Britain's heritage into our front rooms - and, in the early series, into our back gardens.

Perhaps if TT had included a Big Brother style segment of drunken, debauched university students or only dug up the gardens of minor celebrity reality tv show contestants theyd still be on the air. With only some strange earthworks exciting the curiosity of local amateur archaeologists to go on, the programme was flexible enough to be able to take a gamble. Following the successful launch of a fan-led Patreon campaign in December, Time Team has now confirmed what could be the first of many digs. Apart from the marvellous people who made up the Time Team over the years, the way they used the magic of television to highlight features of the dig, overlay geophys visualisations onto the site, extend a fragment of a pot into a full representation, and so on, made this program an exemplar of how to produce truly educational television; and the way the passion of the Team members and their expertise was allowed to shine, coupled with a witty front man, showed that educational does not have to mean dull or dumbed down.
