S11E02 - Whitestaunton, Somerset
There are lots of questions in this #TimeTeam episode. Are there Roman ruins on the site? Yes. Did the Edwardians muddy the waters by building a folly on top of them? Also yes. And did anyone get a drink? Sadly, no. We’ve a completely dry 46m 55s episode worse luck. -
S11E01 - Syon House, London
On the search for a massive Brigittine Abbey founded by the Tudors, the #TimeTeam argue amongst themselves for three days as to what they have and haven’t found - hardly surprising when you realise that they go for the full 46m 59s without even a sniff of a drink. -
S10 - Special - The Big Dig
I get that the #TimeTeam Big Dig was a first-of-its-kind event, but I was also a little disappointing. There was nothing from the north of England, Scotland, Wales, or Ireland. Does archaeology flow downhill to the south? There was, mind you, two beer bottles at 24m 12s. -
S10: Special - Hadrian’s Well
No, that’s not a typo - this #TimeTeam special sees a bunch of archae-engineering anoraks (Tony’s term!) trying to recreate a Roman water-lifting machine. And it lifts water, right enough. It can’t lift a pint though and neither can the anoraks. So we’ve a dry 47m 01s. -
S10E13 - Appleby, Cumbria
We used to stop off at a pub in Appleby for lunch when I was a nipper, and we were making our way to see relatives in Scotland. And look - a pub in the distance at 1m 43s, though it takes the #TimeTeam until 28m 53s to get anyone inside it, with drinks safely in hand. -
May all the forgotten gods forgive me, and may STP’s ghost mock me if I’m wrong, but while watching (for alcohol-related research purposes) an episode of #TimeTeam from 2003, I think I’ve accidentally unleashed the #Roundworld doppelgängers of Rincewind and the Luggage on Bsky. I’m genuinely sorry.

S10E12 - Sedgefield, County Durham
Subtitled “A View to a Kiln,” one might have hoped this Roman-era #TimeTeam episode would’ve left viewers shaken, not stirred. We get no olives for our denarius though, and our amphorae runneth … dry. Sicco totalis episodius at 46m 49s. Tony Blair without drink! -
S10E11 - Castle Howard, Yorkshire
Searching for a lost village, the #TimeTeam start by focusing on lumps, bumps, and uneven ground - just as a drunk man might. Sadly, no drunk men eventuate, nor any drink for that matter, in this 46m 47s episode. Too many trenches, and not nearly enough trenchers! -
S10E10 - Leven, Fife
The #TimeTeam take a rare trip up to Scotland, to dig a series of Bronze Age kist burials. Not even a hint of drink in this 46m 23s episode though - just a lot of very dry holes -
S10E09 - Kew Gardens, London
On the search for the remains of Mad King George’s White House Palace, the #TimeTeam dig beneath some of England’s most pristine lawns, and have an encouraging chat about Georgian drinking at 13m 54s, but actual drink has to wait until 46m 30s, just before the credits. -
S10E08 - Athelney, Somerset
For the 100th episode, #TimeTeam returns to its roots, and revisits Athelney in Somerset, home to King Alfred and his burnt bannocks. We have old footage of drink at 34m 06s, but for fresh beer we have to wait until 45m 50s - basically, just in time! -
S10E07 - Bath, Somerset
Hot water a-plenty bubbling up from the ground, and rain in bucket loads falling from the sky, as the #TimeTeam archaeologists led by Phil and Mick dig up otherwise pristine areas of Bath. But sadly nothing stronger to drink than coffee in this 46m 34s alcohol-free episode. -
S10E06 - Merton, South London
Tony starts this #TimeTeam episode standing outside a pub - the Merton Apprentice, I think - so we’ve that clocked by 0m 4s (!). Then they take over the function room of The William Morris as their HQ. But … no drink! 46m 46s of what I’m calling The Time Team Tease! -

S10E05 - Greenwich, London
It’s five o’clock somewhere, but not according to Greenwich Mean Time apparently - the #TimeTeam dig for Henry VIII’s old jousting yard, but get not a drop of beer for their troubles - a completely dry 46m 47s episode. -
S10E04 - Fetlar, Shetland
Excavating the Giant’s Grave up in the Shetland Isles, Tony and the #TimeTeam also dig a local backyard for Viking remains. A great little episode, but sadly a dry one for all of its 46m 41s. Maybe Tony calling the island “bleak” didn’t much incline the locals to share? 🤔 -
IMO the best #TimeTeam quote of the series so far is in S10E03: “There’s something surprising in Phil’s cremation urn.” Poor old fella! 😂
-
S10E03 - Carsington, Derbyshire
Digging in the depths of a Peak District cave, the #TimeTeam uncover the skeleton of a legless man, right enough; he’s apparently “very unusual” though, so we have to listen to Tony saying “flaccid” over and over again without benefit of drink for the whole 46m 43s. -
S10E02 - Dinnington, Somerset
Investigation some of the best C4th mosaics ever to be found in Britain, Tony and the #TimeTeam spend three days digging up a farmer’s field, and do discover some beautiful floors, but none attached to a pub - there’s no booze to be had in the whole 46m 47s episode. -
S10E01 - Raunds, Northamptonshire
Raunds and raunds the #TimeTeam goes in this first episode of the show’s tenth season, looking for a Saxon cemetery in a couple’s back garden. We meet a young @[email protected] for the first time, but no pub, and no drink at all in this 46m 40s episode -
In another unscheduled and wholly unauthorised crossover, season nine of #TimeTeam may have concluded sans alcohol, but Jeremy and Kaleb made up for it in the final episode of season five of #ClarksonsFarm. 🍻
-
S09-Special - The Wreck of Colossus
The last #TimeTeam special of Season 9 sees Tony and the crew on the search for one of Admiral Nelson’s lost ships, HMS Colossus, a 74-gun third rate ship of the line. 47m 14s without a rum ration though - a complexly dry (albeit under water) episode, worse luck. -
… Phil is interviewed in what looks to be the front bar of his local at 45m 57s, and the only real surprise is that the episode doesn’t end with a communal toast. I haven’t been tracking this metric, but I can confidently say that this is the most alcohol-sodden #TimeTeam episode yet. Bravo!

S09-Special - 10 Years of #TimeTeam
Looking back at nine seasons and ten years’ worth of digs, the team are already looking for a refill at the 1m 49s mark, which I think is a record, even for them! Then there’s a pub at 5m 01s, another at 11m 58s, repeats at 19m 7s & 19m 58s, wine at 21m 11s … -
S09 - Special - Roman Londinium
I did some pre-episode research before watching this 1hr 16m 38s #TimeTeam special, and discovered that there are more than 4k pubs in modern-day London. I put that little factlet out there, because nowhere in this longer-than-usual episode do we find any drink. 🤷♂️ -
S09 - Special - Canterbury’s Big Dig
This being a special, the #TimeTeam have 9 months IRL, and 1hr 16m 46s in tv time to dig a quarter of the old city ahead of a massive shopping centre being built. There’s *talk* of drink, but no evidence, and they wonder why no one will sponsor their efforts. -

BONUS CONTENT: In a wholly unauthorised crossover with #ClarksonsFarm, surely that’s the outline of an Iron Age roundhouse you can see in the grass behind Jeremy’s Land Rover? It’s inside a Neolithic ditch & berm, so it almost must be, no? Tony and the #TimeTeam clearly need to dig at Diddlysquat!

The odds are stacking up: I write the wiki page for lifting stones, and the same day my friend asks me whether I want to go to a book launch about stone lifting the next day. I write the proposal for settlement=transhumance, and same week #TimeTeam has a video about a possible shieling. Weird. #OpenStreetMap #BaaderMeinhofEffect

As a #TimeTeam patreon, I was watching a fairly short clip of them introducing a new site in Mapperton (!) today. And I spotted a mounting block! I'm probably the only person getting excited about that, but it's mapped now. And a few more things. I mean, I can hardly leave a place like Mapperton without doing a few bits. Who knew we had our own town? #OpenStreetMap
