S07E12 - Hartlepool, Northumbria Looking for a long forgotten, seventh century, Anglo-Saxon nunnery, the #TimeTeam are - you guessed it - having nun of that when it came to the demon drink. This 46m 23s episode is as dry as a nun’s … humour. Saints preserve (and quench!!!) us.
-
S07E11 - Greenwich Park, London The #TimeTeam are on the search for a Roman temple “in sight of the Millennium Dome.” I won’t try to guess how many pubs there are in sight of it, but if that’s wine that David and Phil are guzzling on the picnic rug, then we’ve a NEW RECORD - just 3m 19s!
-
S07E10 - Sutton, Herefordshire Searching for the palace of King Offa (as you do), the #TimeTeam dig away for 46m 44s, and no one Offa’s them a drink at any point. 😢
-
S07E09 - Flag Fenn, Cambridgeshire On the search for a Bronze Age barrow (burial, not wheel), the #TimeTeam dig and dig without stopping to drink anywhere in the 46m 21s episode. When Francis Pryor said “we’re going to head across towards the dry island,” I should have known that my luck wasn’t in!
-
S07E08 - Basing House, Hampshire They subtitled this one “The Royalists’ Last Stand,” and knowing how much the Royalists liked a drink, I got my hopes up (but sadly, not my hops). Turns out the #TimeTeam were a bunch of roundheaded bloody puritans, and abstained for the full 46m 30s of the episode.
-
S07E07 - Coventry, West Midlands On the search for a lost cathedral (and really, how ditzy do you have to be to lose something that large?), the #TimeTeam manage to find a stone bunch of grapes, but no real ones. Only tea in this 46m 30s episode, regrettably. The blighters even look happy about it.
-
S07E06 - Elvden, Suffolk On the search for Stone Age man, #TimeTeam focus their efforts all of 400,000 years in the past, finding a dry riverbed, a whole lot of dry flint, and a man with a dry red hankie on his head, but no grog. An empty crate of Holsten at 22m 34s, accompanying 46m 29s of DRY.
-
S07E05 - Birdoswald, Cumbria Now I know for a fact that there are plenty of pubs in the vicinity of Hadrian’s Wall (even in the “barbarian north”), so why Tony and the #TimeTeam don’t find one in 46m 28s is a mystery. Not an intoxicant to be seen (and no, getting pot at 13m 50s doesn’t count).
-
S07E04 - Waddon, Dorset The #TimeTeam search for an Iron Age roundhouse in the tiny village of Waddon, Dorset, so small it doesn’t have a pub. Instead, we’re reduced to cider supped from replica pots at the 27m 52s mark. To think, four thousand years of continuous history, and no one founded a pub!
-
S07E03 - Wierre-Effroy, France On the hunt for a lost Second World War Mk1 spitfire (P9373) in northern France, the #TimeTeam tease viewers by meeting outside a local pub at 2m 14s, and even basing their HQ behind it, but they never go in! This is a completely dry episode, all 46m 48s of it! 🤨
-
S07E02 - Cirencester, Gloucestershire Searching for a Roman mosaic in the bottom of someone’s garden, the only #TimeTeam member who gets to stop for a drink in this entire episode is Tony, who gets to “enjoy” a goblet of heavily watered-down wine at 22m 29s, and doesn’t his face just say it all!
-
S07E01 - Denia, Spain No sangria let alone a siesta for the #TimeTeam on this Spanish dig, but Phil manages somehow to get beer brought to his tench (!) at 16m 27s, and you can just about make out more beer at 30m 28s, when they reproduce a C13th North African meal.
-
S06 Special - Holme-Next-The-Sea, Norfolk An odd episode in which the #TimeTeam don’t really feature, instead filming others lifting an ancient wood henge, much against the wishes of local druids. No drink (so 77m 00s) & I rather found myself siding with the druids: that plug stoppered something.
-
S06 Xmas Special - Barley Hall, York No barley, but updates aplenty from earlier in the series, and a medieval Christmas feast, with Mick the Dig grabbing a glass of wine with the #TimeTeam diggers at 32m 21s, followed by Phil attempting to drown himself in a bowl of spiced cider, the lucky sod.
-
S06E13 - Nevis, West Indies (Part Two) I’m not sure what Mick has on his distinctly anglo-archaeological head - a hankie over a cloth cap?? Anyway, the #TimeTeam find limes at 16m 48s, but we have to wait until 45m 40s for something to put them with! And who knew “hurricane” was an Amerindian word?
-
S06E12 - Nevis Island, West Indies (Part One) Searching in dense jungle for the remains of an old sugar plantation, the #TimeTeam are mostly drinking water to keep themselves hydrated, but there’s a hint of beer to be had at the 37m 00s mark, and a white rum ration for the diggers at 45m 14s.
-
S06E11 - Amendment Sorry folks. My meds kicked in while I was posting my #TimeTeam update last night, and I missed this - there is mead at 30m 17s, complete with a horn that’s almost as tall as Tony.
-
Also quite possibly the first outing for John Blair in this #TimeTeam episode as well. As chance would have it, I just finished his book on vampire epidemics not so long ago.
-
S0611 - Bawsey, Norfolk Working in the shadow of the jagged ruins of a spooky looking old Norman church, the #TimeTeam crew find neither pub nor drink, so bust at 47m 9s. They’re forgiven though, because they do find @[email protected] who’s a national treasure in herself. Her debute, I think?
-
S06E10 - Kemerton, Worcestershire Tony returns to his #Blackadder roots, “trampling baby turnips,” and praise be, at 29m 04s we get beer to wash then down with, and a local (albeit unnamed) pub in which to drink it! Just when we were starting to think that S6 of #TimeTeam was going to remain dry!
-
S06E09 - Turkdean, Gloucestershire The #TimeTeam revisit Turkdean, where they failed to find a pub in Season 5. They fail just as spectacularly once again, only this time it’s via conversations about leather knickers and barbecued balls. Tony does sacrifice red wine to Fortuna at 46m 32s though.
-
S06E08 - Reedham, Norfolk Water, water everywhere, but not a drop to drink. The #TimeTeam go searching for a downed WW2 bomber in the marshes of Norfolk, with nary an officer’s mess nor yet a pint pot in sight for the whole 47m 00s of the episode.
-
S06E07 - Beaufort Park, Sussex The #TimeTeam spend 47m 00s on a golf course looking for Roman remains, but never make it to the 19th hole. Unbelievable. Tony might be enjoying his polystyrene cup of tea, but I’m onboard with Mick’s facial expression, which says Tony could be wearing his shortly.
-
I’m amazed to have just discovered that #TimeTeam Phil is, and has been for ten years, the Deputy Lieutenant to the Lord Lieutenant of Wiltshire. Surely this means there *must* be pictures of him out there, decked out in ceremonial gear, hat and all! The search is on! m.youtube.com/watch?v=Izl1...
Michael Collins.... You can ha... -
S06E06 - Smallhythe, Kent A nautical-themed episode, set ten miles from the sea, in which the #TimeTeam search for the remains of Henry V’s royal shipyard at Smallhythe. They’re all at sea when it comes to finding a pub though, ancient or modern; all we get is wine in a field at the 30m 5s mark.

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

S06E05 - Plympton St Maurice, Devon Pub unknown, but at least there *is* a pub - 27m 56s into this episode. None of the #TimeTeam seem to be drinking though! 🤯 This is the point at which any decent researcher would begin to doubt his thesis.
-
S06E04 - Cheddar Gorge, Somerset. False advertising par excellence from the #TimeTeam. There’s no cheddar (and no alcohol, more to the point), in this whole, slightly disappointing, cave-based episode. I needed a drink just to get over it after a wholly unsatisfying 46m 59s.
-
I mean, even the geo-phys results look more #HammerHouseofHorror than they do #TimeTeam! If John hasn’t just located the seventh circle of hell under Thetford, I’ll be a downright amazed. Hell-under-Thetford - a new suburb for consideration by the local planners??
-
S06E03 - Thetford, Norfolk. Is this #TimeTeam, or a crossover episode with #TwilightZone perhaps? Parents and students are apparently drinking (wholly unseen) wine in the Great Hall, off camera, while Phil and Carenza are left outside, digging in the dark. Unalcoholic for its complete 46m 59s run!
-
S06E02 - Papcastle, Cumbria. More obscure Romans leaving hitherto unexplained ruins in honest folks’ backyards, but the #TimeTeam are undaunted, putting the pap back into Papcastle with nothing stronger than tea to sustain them for a full 47m 00s episode. Weird ‘uns, border folk, right i‘nuf.
-
S06E01 - Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent. The #TimeTeam are digging in the town centre of modern-day Stock-on-Tent, looking for the first Wedgwood factory. We’ve wine at the 27m 45s mark, but sadly no pub in which to enjoy it, nor any real sign of the whole team relaxing together as they normally would.
-
S05E07 - High Worsall, North Yorkshire. An abandoned medieval village with no pub forces the #TimeTeam to do without - cider gets a passing mention, but there’s not a drop to be seen of that or any other type of alcohol in this entire 47m 48s episode.

Archaeology is Rubbish by Tony Robinson & Prof Mick Aston. This well-written storified skip through the process of a commercial archaeology dig is a fun and interesting read. I picked it up on a whim in the library then bought my own copy to augment my medieval #archaeology degree which taught me no practical skills whatsoever 😄 If you love/d #TimeTeam or are just generally interested in archaeology I recommend it, though some techniques have really moved on since 2002 #books #bookstodon 🧵6

The new episode of Time Team that got released this evening on YouTube was fascinating. A two day rescue dig after finding another Anglo Saxon burial in the last hour of their previous Princely Burial episode with Operation Nightingale.
Helen and Jackie feel like they are really carrying the torch for the old Time Team crew as well.
