stewart ainsworth leaves time team

Recently went to Jamestown where the 1st Time Team America was tapedthat was amazing. Long-serving archaeologists Helen Geake and Stewart Ainsworth would appear less often. Despite his sore loss, he did the right thing to walk out. Whats wrong with a passing reference to global warming unless you are an eccentric climate change denier? axed is their a petition running ????? paleo-osteology, finds experts, experts in the Bronze Age or Rome I am as raptured as Phil squatting in a newly opened trench exclaiming, Oooh! Such speed was certainly not ideally suited to showcase all of the techniques available to modern archaeologists. Love the show and all the characters especially Phil! Mick Aston was a remarkable person intelligent and well informed but still able to get complicated concepts across in an way that was accessible to all. I wonder if channel programmers read these blogs? When discussing the latest TT episode at work/with friends sadly there doesnt seem to be many others who watch it, Ive always been interested in history so maybe its just me & maybe the young people of today arent being taught that history can be exciting/interesting. However, they added: Intelligence, natural curiosity and a passion for archaeology is a must.. Thank you to everyone who made this such a wonderful programme. This is a project in its preliminary stages, run by Tim Taylor. Hello from the US. I am gutted Time Team is for the chop, I love it!!! It was this show that gave me the inspiration to study history and I will really miss it. Maybe it was better to end the show before they replaced the entire cast with celebrities from TOWIE. The team was supplemented by experts appropriate for the period and type of site. My children are 13 and 12, and we all like to sit down as a family and watch this programme together and learn something. Unlike many here, I think Mary Anne Ochota was a qualified addition to evolve and maintain the momentum of the series. And anyway, why would we want Channel 4 to keep TT? Oh so true. irritating but he was a part of a recipe that worked for a long time. The breakthrough came when Timesigns proved an unexpected hit. does anybody really care what those idiots say surely it is what the public want that matters but no channel 4 has a foolllll running it.. heavan forbid we should have a great program T T ware we think and enjoy it plus it is great family veiwing and may i say also very interresting. I had no idea it had finished. (Then, of course, it goes straight to Hell). what fools these youngsters are. By the summer of 2012 Channel 4 no longer wanted old Time Team. What is the matter not retro enough for you ! Our family enjoyed Tony Robinsons performance, but what made Time Team great was Mick and Phil and Carenza and Matt and Stewart and Raksha and Mick the Twig and Bridget and Raysan and Victor the artist and the geophysicists and Robin the historian and all the others whose contributions brought together a cohesive story for a site from a range of disciplines. There are DVDs, some available on Amazon uk. The implementation of Planning Policy Guidance 16 in 1990 enshrined archaeology within the development process and paved the way for todays professional units. In 2003, I joined the amateur Biggar Archaeology Group which, among other achievements, discovered the oldest known archaeological site in Scotland. We will miss Tony, Mick and Phil and the team. Is Phil Harding a Phd? The cast and crew were pretty obviously seriously digging their roles, (bad pun semi-intended sorry about that sort of). We are no longer accepting comments on this article. Loved Time Team and will miss it [endless repeats are not the same but I still find myself watching them anyway]. How will I live? Many bad decisions for all the wrong reasons. Inspiring stuff. 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. The marvelous experts have described items, historical facts and what could have been, may have been and what was likely to have been and possibly how the ancestors [residents and visitors alike] changed the landscape. I loved every minute of it. Yes, it was a great show, but its over now. There was a early chemistry here of personalities, as well as expertise. I have just realised that time team is to be axed by c4. We have watched it form the start and enjoyed it on various level hugely. Sadly, my wife passed away in January 2012 but I carried on watching it until it ended. Carenza Lewis, Stewart Ainsworth, Helen Geake and geophys genius John Gater will all be returning and are excited about the new sites. I have enjoyed Tony Robinsons commentaries. Just been reading all the comments, and a lot of sensible thinhs have been said, and a few stupid ignorant ones as well. How very sad. Team Team gang were so funny with their understanding of each other and professional approach to their subject, their knowledge of it all and portrayal to the audience was so entertaining, and Tony added an open view to a usually flat subject, with his level headed approach to academics and gave it life. I have just found out about the decision by C4 to axe Time Team, which was surely one of the best programmes on any television station anywhere. Also, a Presenter is not supposed to insult the experts he is reporting on. And, unlike Phil and Mick, one didnt long to give her a haircut!! It said it was seeking a female co-presenter who does not have to be overly experienced or knowledgeable as we have plenty of expertise within the existing team. I just love the way English history came alive & feel like the team must have lots of fun doing this job.I was hopeing to find them on a dig when I come over to visit .Lets hope the powers that be decide to bring it back or make a new show similar to it. The idea/format needs to be revived by BBC4. This biography article of a United Kingdom academic is a stub. . Envelopes hidden at strategic points would set challenges along the lines of find the Medieval high street in two hours. When I signed there were 1,600 names. I love archeology, and it was so educational seeing how it is done. From Phils glee over Stone Age flints, Tonys wisely playful and challenging banter, Micks sage hand on the digs tiller, Johns gentle determination to get the best cartography the technology can provide, Franciss round house fireside mussing on an Iron Age mans joys in life and Stuart goes walk about so we can get the lay of the land and know our place in it was amazing, every bit of it. It is absolutely fantastic to see the amount of people who have followed this programme and the comments above are pretty amazing. I love Time Team and regularly binge watch have seen many episodes several times. Royal Commission on the Historical Monuments of England, Imagine spending an entire weekend with Time Team's Stewart Ainsworth Learning How to Decode the Landscape, https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Stewart_Ainsworth&oldid=1140539218, People of the Royal Commission on the Historical Monuments of England, Short description is different from Wikidata, Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License 3.0, This page was last edited on 20 February 2023, at 15:01. However over the years TT seem to have worked on sites that have been known about for a long time, but have remained unexplored for whatever reason. TT is very fun to watch after nearly 30 years from the first episodes; watching the GeoPhysics change from season to season (week to week for me as I binge) is great for this engineer. Working with the Fiennes family brought home the connection with Sutton Hoo and Ralph Fiennes character, Basil Brown in the recent Netflix film, The Dig. The enthusiasm shown by the crews, the information, the chance to get a flavour of what made our country and the historical influences in each area. , updated perhaps they could do a show that showed what happens as the sites are put back to their natural state. 7 comments. Spent many an hour intrigued by the whole show and the people on it. Good bye Mick. I think Phil is a genius at being able to read the ground he is digging up. Lee, viewer outrage worked in Australia with The Movie Show. How outrageous to think that the 45s are not a worthy audience. Above all we learned something new in each programme , not the usual rehashed information served up in other one -off programmes on popular periods. Yes/No? here was atransfixing series, turning elitist subject into everyday knowledge for the ordinary man. 20 years is a long time in television. He only lives about 10 miles away. History is a fascinating subject but Meanwhile Tonys role transformed from a quiz master to translator of all things archaeological for a general audience. Hi. I too am upset that this has been axed. Ive learned that anything classed as experimental Is just filler as theyve found nothing. I loved it and speaking as an Hibernian, the only thing I found mildly irritating was Tonys obsession with all things Roman. I guess I will have to plan a trip to the UK to get my archaeology fix now. Poor second best but something is better than nothing. I love time team. The students became instant converts to the program. That doesnt work in the US. or anyone with an IQ of 50 and below, or the attention span a bit longer than a small herring. Time Team - Helen Geake Helen Geake Small Finds Specialist and Anglo-Saxon Expert Helen's interest in archaeology was sparked partly by attending lecturers by Time Team's Mick. I have always wondered what happens to all the dirt that the Time Team dig out of their sites after the 3 days of digging? Having said that, I hope this means Time Team DVDs will now be more available to those of us in the US who adore the show. My cable TV subscription gives us awesome selections for history, science, and information buffs! I watch time team on more 4 T.T. Just did the same as Leigh trying to find out when the next series is due to start. Like Philip Lethbridge I would be happy to watch TT for ever. It is practically unheard of for a factual, specialist programme to spend two decades as the public face of its subject and become a national institution along the way. I thought the 2013 series was an improvement on the 2012 series, but tonights episode was disappointing. Please bring it back with all the original cast the new ones where good but I preferred the old cast and format. Have just watched the very last episode of my beloved Time Team And feel desperately sad.. The regular team also included: Stewart Ainsworth, landscape investigator; John Gater and Chris Gaffney, archaeological geophysicists; Henry Chapman, surveyor; and Victor Ambrus, illustrator. Although Channel 4 is due the recognition it deserves for its faith and investment in archaeology over the years its decisions over the last couple of years will be a media studies case study How to destroy a successful programme and alienate millions of viewers. A unique combination of expertise, enthusiasm and humour. Such a shame its being axed at a time its claimed the viewing figures are at its highest make little sense to me. Gutted to learn it is no more. Maybe after all these replies BBC4 may approach the original team !!! Its interesting that Ch 4 is dropping a program on history and education, are they really dumbing down to suit a younger age group whose programs contain bad language smut and sex, bad attitudes and a large sense of self. quite a lot of the programmes are available on Veehd.com. By the way, if the executives mild revamp caused viewer figures to plummet, how come it was the programme and not those executives who got the flak? Completely unable to absorb and assimilate well presented information in an entertaining style, and you completely misread the ironic style of Tony Robinson. We are aiming to reach our target of at least 5,000 patrons by the end of March and well then be in position to dig at least one other site the Iron Age settlement this year and carry out preliminary research on others., Our goal is to create a legacy for these sites, says Taylor, building ongoing relationships with local communities and archaeologists that continue to yield fresh insights. If Channel Four thinks TT too expensive there is mileage in the Return To format for some digs showing some of the original programmes and then updating on subsequent research. I am sooooo sad that it is going and so is my family and friends..I would like to know what every one is going to do now our friends we see every week,I love the banter between everyone but no more. I will think of you when I am digging in a field this afternoon, that you once dug, and bury a memento in your memory. Nevis, West Indies: Part 1: Directed by Graham Dixon. You are going to be missed more than most of us realise. Its prototype was Timesigns, a four-part series that aired in 1991. Enjoyed Tony and the whole crew, felt like u were part of the dig and part of the crew, they were all like family. Im sure it was meant to interest younger viewers in Archeology, a noble enough concept. A monumental row and walk out, one would guess. 2023. And really, TT changed my life! I wonder how much is wasted on their wages. I dont understand what purpose that serves, but there you have it. Their participation and enthusiasm clear for all to see. Find out more here. That way we still get our fix when we want to remind ourselves how good this series was. Having the great pleasure to work in the UK for an Engineering firm, I was able to watch the early years of this program, up to the end. 03:12 EST 08 Feb 2012. Failing that I can recommend looking at Google Maps satellite pictures of your local area looking for earthworks hours of fun! Great format, educational safe family viewing. Perhaps if Chanel 4 had stuck to the old adage of if it aint broke, dont fix it we would still have had this gem of a program to look forward to enjoying for many years to come.. with shows like Strictly Come Dancing, X Factor, Dancing on Ice, Big Brother etc etc etc all being aired every week, Time Team was an oasis of entertainment and education in a vast desert of mundane TV programming. If you ever wanted to check anything academically, you ran a brick wall which amply demonstrated it was seen by C4 as a Reallity show, complete with Dymock shots. Thank God for my Saturday morning lie-in watching four episodes in a row on More 4. He worked his sox off. Think again C4, as someone who is 40 years outside your target audience, all axing this program has done is make me switch channels, so demographically relevant or not you have simply lost another viewer and surely viewer numbers are more important than some misguided attempt to only appeal to a certain age group? As well as an arresting demonstration of the power of teamwork, Athelney showed how geophysics could be the heart of the programme. I agree. I loved the banter between Tony, Phil and Mick and anyone could see they enjoyed their jobs. Years earlier, Sir Mortimer Wheeler did some Archaeology pgms on TV and they were always popular. It brings together entire families and to my mind, is of huge importance, in that it makes us aware of who we are and where we came from and the way it was presented to us was magical. do they ever have reunions whereby you could meet the surviving characters.. i hate computers these days, they act up. Time Team isnt the same without Mick and Phill is the token hot tottie (uh hum!) I agree Shiela, a long read but entertaining, and an indication of TTs popularity. I guess it was always going to happen when TV administrators who, judging by the few Ive seen interviewed, are challenged by words of more than two syllables come into contact with educated professionals. I feel sure we havent heard the last either. I agree the lady they brought in for Series 19 was disappointing and that it does show how far C4 has come in the last 20 years. I am watching repeats on Yesterday but hate the constant adverts. Fortunately, it wasnt. 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 way Phil, Mick, Tony and company have made an impact on my life, you have no idea. It is sad to read the mechanics of its demise and, worse, to see it played out on screen. RIP Time Team. The beginnings of Time Team: season 1 stalwarts (from left to right) Mick Aston, Victor Ambrus, Phil Harding, Geraldine Barber, Carenza Lewis, Tony Robinson, and Robin Bush. these idiots decide to change it.i hope they are happy boring peaple.please bring it back. He was affectionately called Time Team's "lumps and bumps" man by Mick Aston, and works with the team alongside his day job, travelling the country surveying, recording and investigating archaeological sites. A former academic at Bristol and Oxford universities, he has worked tirelessly to bring archaeology to a wider audience. Far too many highlights to choose a favourite, but Ill always have a soft spot for the tone of Tony Robinsons voice when he explained that the sash-cum-swordbelt worn by Saxon fighters was called a baldric. I found TR irritating at times but accepted him as part of the show. Hopefully some other channel will take up the format eventually. Back in the olden days(late 70s) I was accused of being an anglophile by the University of New Mexico professor who was trying to recruit me, an English Major, into his new American Studies department. Stewart Ainsworth, Time Team member Influence beyond. In mid October 2012 an all-points bulletin was emailed to Time Team staff. My grandson is a budding archeologist and watches it over and over again. Crazy. I am a mega fan of the show. Yes please BBC4 or anyone sensible Time Team will always be popular if you listen to Tony (yes I am a fan) Mick and Phil and Helen (yes I am an even bigger fan of these guys). My wife Ida & I never missed a program for years. The foregoing is an exhausting but entertaining read. Have only just found out that Time Team has been axed after 20 years and I am gutted. I am 81 & have watched & enjoyed TT for many years. Quod erat demonstrandum. The site is of national importance and we couldnt hope for a better team to help uncover its secrets., Time Teams return has had the backing of many celebrity fans, from Sir Michael Morpurgo and Bernard Cornwell to Philippa Gregory, Kate Mosse and Ken Follett. It remains my all time favourite reality TV show and I really miss it. (Bog Latin). One only has to consider the creative arc of Channel Four itself, to have noticed that its a shadow of what it set out to be and frankly, those who run it now should be ashamed of themselves, relieved from duty, and prevented from working in TV ever again. Ive always adored darling Tony Robinson since his days as Baldric, and Mick (RIP), Phil (gotta love him!) Not blaming her particularly, but her entry seemed to also disturb the group dynamics of the cast, which was one of the things that made it so enjoyable. I agree .I have thoroughly enjoyed Time Team and was greatly disappointed when I switched on my TV at the usual time and found no sign of Time Team at that time or any other. Yes, we all love the longtime archaelogists (sorry, cant do stars I would say they wouldnt like it either it is rather derogatory of their abilities!) Very disappointing. Because of Time Team I now want to become an archeologist. He brought archeaology to the public domain and helped us discover where our nation began, how it grew and how it is still changing. I ask other time team regulars get writing and see if time team can be saved either by another tv station or a rethink by channel 4. The banter between him and the otherwise notoriously stuffy academics was legendary. A thoroughly good bunch of people with a true PASSION for their subject ! Promotion of family values good natured banter and above all a love of the past which TT has shared with us over the years is disposed of Shame, Shame, Shame. The fun gone out of Sunday teatime! We may not see its like again. We do have money too you know. I really loved the show and learned so much. The utterly ridiculous Dig by Wire (S19E01) would have put me off permanently had it been the first episode I had seen (What, helicopters dont work on Gateholm?). Channel 4 can go to where it rightly belongs confined to History. Bringing in that awful woman for the last series was the straw that broke the camels back. And the journey is not quite over yet. Youve said it all, I totally agree! Some of them are dead, and the rest have moved on. We will miss his humour, his knowledge and his warmth. Tim Taylor recalls that some archaeologists were initially, quite fairly, a bit sceptical. One aspect that some treated with suspicion was the three-day deadline. Surely, the way forward would have been to dig deeper into the technical aspects of the archaeology and to speak to the intelligent audience that made the program in the first place whether the sites themselves or the techniques being employed. I met Phil Harding a few years ago at old sarum castle, Salisbury, we had a lovely chat, hes a fab bloke. Time Team was on television, but not of it. Buggering about with scheduling times has buggered many a decent tv series. I was so sad to find out that it is finishedCould we bring it back? Lytham St Annes. John Gater, Francis Pryor, Stewart Ainsworth, and Phil Harding. I agree with you . That is, the irritating new team members, the irritating clanging noise when Tony narrates and the increasingly less time spent in the trenches. We are saddened to hear that a great T.V show which entertained and informed is being axed. catty remarks what catty remarks it is like every other tv program if it is not a soap opera or so called reality tv it gets brushed aside ch4 is one big yawn if you dont agree just what else is worth the price of electricity. Karenza Lewis archaeological sex on legs. Official website also launched: http://www.TimeTeamFans.com Thanks everyone. 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. If those of us who have never met him mourn today, how much more must his friends and family be feeling his passing? Sir Tony I salute you and the team,its been a good innings! I absolutely agree with everything you said ! You only have to look at the great interest shown over Richard III to realise that yes there is a market for a programme of this nature. How come journalists never seem to tell us these sorts of things? Tags: I suppose I will have to go back to Dads Army for a bit of sanity then, Robyn Australia Ok BBC4, its time for you to take Time Team. You always felt a relationship with the team, they appeared friendly, very enthusiastic and appeared to be there for the love of archaeology. By the way I am 52, so I guess I am too old for channel 4, but tell my kids that. As a teacher of Ancient and Modern History in Australia, I found the T.T programs a wonderful way to back up the various topics I taught. Faced with the loss of a stalwart the production team then proceed to sideline the other star of the show Phil Harding for most of the airtime, and we get all that Chief Investigator nonsense, coupled with the bright young things who were the televisual equivolent of the black death for the programme. What is wrong with older viewers? Time Team: Created by Tim Taylor. Totally gutted Time Team is going. I download everything I can from the internet and watch on American PBS stations when I can find it. However BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) is a state-owned institution from inter-war origins. We live in USA. If you had to justify the value of television as a medium that can inform as well as entertain, Time Team would be the perfect example. Admittedly, in the last year or so I have found myself increasingly disinterested in the programme. Changing all the staff behind Time Team was a big mistake, but ending it is even bigger.
