I wish you would give the original publication date for these old films. I mean, Tony Robinson can actually jog and has not developed his distinctive enormous belly yet. This film itself is archeological gold.

This might’ve been the most Jenni ever spoke in an episode of Time Team. I wish they had included her more often.

I cannot quite wrap my head around the fact that so many roads in rural England are still following, or nearly following, the paths of roads laid down and used by the Romans nearly 2000 years ago.

My ancestors castle in England was called Shipbrook. He fought in the battle of Hastings with William the Conqueror. The Norman castle isn't there anymore. His name was Sir Richard DeVernon, was DeReviers.

Fascinating. I lived in england 3 years... Love the history there...

One of the better episodes. Thank you.

It’s not a motte and Bailey, castle. It’s a ring work. They even state it in the opening of the episode.

Please put the year of the dig in the description - as each dig informs future digs and research, it's helpful to know what year we are in

I've been friends with Norman for many years. He distinctly remembers leaving his motte here back during a uni binger. He's wishing you luck!

Love the Norman content

A: Are you excited? B: I think I probably am! There you've heard it! Ladies and gentlemen, he is PROBABLY excited. Absolutely electric atmosphere here as this bearded man extemporaneously contemplates his previously unconsidered feelings. Back to you.

One of your more interesting digs!

20:26 Now that is some craftsmanship! A very pretty key.

"Oooo, that chainmail feels so good against the face," says Sir What Ever's steed. You witnessed a horses reenactment from the Middle Ages.

7:43 the poor fellow is beside himself with excitement

A not so new *TIME TEAM* Woooooooooo. Let's go! I don't think I have seen this one yet. Can't wait for some Unlce Phil and Ms Raksha. Sadly no Raksha...this is my edit.

Brilliant!!

ive always wounder way the soldier thats on the ground just dont drop to one knee cover them self with the shield and take out the horses front legs. Maybe its easier said then done.

After the Battle of Hastings, the Normans took over the land. As a result, did the Saxon aristocracy slip down the social scale into the "lower class"? Did they still retain gradually smaller and smaller amounts of land or were they automatically displaced? Obviously, some of the Saxon knights might have gone abroad to offer their services to foreign lords and some Saxon nobles went into the church, what happened to the general Saxon nobility? How many generations did it take to go from Saxon nobleman to working man?

@3:22 - That's not a digger - that's a hydraulic teaspoon.

Defended this quite a few times on mount and blade: Warband multiplayer

English Heratage have forgotten the whole idea of a scheduled monument. They were not intended to forbid Archaeological Inspection. They were supposed to stop unscrupulous owners and developers destroying them. Not allowing Archaeologists to work on the sites defeats the whole point of protecting them.

These has to be the 90's after seeing the computers they working with 😂

Geez, the lunchtime tucker looks good 🍲

Did you ever think to just ask someone who was around back then? They could tell you what the castle looked like.

The food bus is slick!

Always ask the military why. Both the British and American military have a lot of experience as occupying forces and we put priorities on rebuilding roads, communications then civilian hospitals, schools and providing food. I believe in the past a monastery or a place for nuns might have been the equivalent to a hospital? Regardless of access to roads or rivers, if you are an occupying force you MUST have a presence every so much distance in order to "keep the peace" (prevent simple mayhem and banditry) and prevent uprisings without you detecting it. No castles or troop barracks, then you have no means to detect or break up massing of local militias. If you, even an occupying force, do NOT perform the basic functions of government by keeping the peace, keeping roadways and rivers (another means of transportation) freely usable and safe you will have uprisings. If you are successful you will have loyalty although maybe not expressed quite that way. Robin Hood will either be considered by the citizenry as an outlaw who preys upon them or their savior depending on how the government meets their needs or preys on the citizens (think Taliban). Taxes therefore need to be seen as maintaining infrastructure citizens use and keeping the peace or it will be seen as predatory. The USA has reached that tipping point and especially with the corruption in the White House and its cronies in the larger administration. Which is why in desperation rather than give up their bribes and do the right governing thing suddenly they want to provide free lunches to all students in schools across the nation even for families who do not need free food. The present can tell you a lot about the past, successes and failures.

One can guess the age of this video by the amount of hair left on Tony's head.

Even tho nobody ever came out and said so, I realize now that England was a pretty turbulent, violent and unsettled country save for the last 300 years.

Great video

I'm conflicted about the Normans. On the one hand, they were excellent warriors and were efficient at establishing law and order and on the other hand they were often quite bloodthirsty and cruel. A lot of Norman blood flows through my veins and I don't know what to do.

I love history. It’s better when presented by someone NOT doing their day’s jogging.

The way that blonde girl at 13:10 gets up and scampers off is funny. She is like oh crap im in their shot, i got to get out of here now.

😂How would they know? They are all dead!

Valkyria saknar dig min varg min vikingarman jag slåss mot både båge och man. Min älskade jag längtar efter din famn kom kom och håll av min hand 😇

The eagle looks Polish.

Why is Huge Lorrie in a helmet on the front pic lmao

Norman=Vikings with French accent and horses

29:25 Phil has (as it is known in the industry) his Saxon *ss handed to him...

why was it abandoned.

Why you only get 3 days to muck around the castle

whats with these heritage types ! ours here are old biddy fops that just like power. considering there not doing any digging says there not experts so they should be told where the experts are going to dig (because its all buried again after.) and be thankfull they`ve got jobs.

Thumbnail looks like Ben Affleck.

What is the point of promoting these videos with clickbait?,. Time Team have their own official YT channels, at this point this is just stupid. I did pay for a subscription for History Hit but it's not worth it, 20 minutes podcasts with Dan Snow and shorts that are cut down from other series.

Imagine how little we will ever know due to the unwanted disturbance of dirt....totally dip shit thinking.

Wtf...so if you buy a property in Britain you don't actually own it.... no thanks

18:33 Cute girls

why always "Three days"? please explain it or stop saying it.

i wonder why they bother with geophysics as it must be the most useless science in existence. i have been watching for years and mever found geophics evem remotely useful. in fact it always wastes everyone's time
