Highly Overrated But Still Good

Don't listen to the negative reviews

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

The Time Team are a group of archaeologists who, having found a area of farmland in the British countryside that looks suspect of ancient remains, prepare a dig site to investigate and catalogue their findings.This is a great bit of entertainment and you won't be bored after watching for fifty minutes. Truly entertaining show. From the geophysical investigations using state of the art technology to the actual trench sites over areas of historical interest the show never fails to amuse, educate and inform it's viewers, who, after so many years, must make a large fan base indeed.The success of this show must in part be due to it's excellent team of archaeologists and it's presenter, Robinson, who give informative and interesting information on their various finds.One can learn a lot from this show. Another merit point is that due to it's main concern being digging for unknown or questionable finds, you never know what they'll dig up next. excellent entertainment. 8 stars.

Now in it's 12th series, Time Team is a programme I have grown up with and come to know the 'team' as almost part of the family. Now as an adult I can fully appreciate the historical value of the show as well as the entertainment value. Tony Robinson is a great host with an 'ordinary joe' approach to Archaeology that neither excludes nor patronizes the viewer. Mick Aston is the go-between professory type whose novel outlook on a 'stuffy' profession is fresh and appreciated. The diggers are obviously the crux of the show with Carenza Lewis, Mick Worthington and the irrepressible Phil Harding on hand to uncover (or sometimes not) the secrets that lay buried. And then there is landscape archaeologist, Stewart Ainsworth, whose insight and knowledge of the areas is amazing to watch and, after finding hidden evidence in maps and photographs is often the star of the show.So well done to all who are involved in Time Team and I hope this continues to be a long and happy friendship.

Time Team has now entertained the likes of myself for 10 years. With episodes like the 2 visits to Turkdean or the Mosaic at Dinnington or even the thousands of tons of soil moved to reveal the viaduct in Wales, how can you help but be in awe at the speed Tony, Mick, Carenza, Phil and all the hard working diggers excavate sometimes hard to work sites. I haven't missed many episodes and if I have it will only be some of the very early ones. I hope they never stop making this unmissable piece of entertaining education.

An archeological dig in your back yard, as you discover what happened in your back yard 350 or 3500 years ago, if you live in England, where your history didn't begin 400 years ago. The dig begins today, and they fill the whole thing back in, after they've been at it for three days. The excitement of the discoveries uncovered as they occur, the involvement of the property owners and the neighbors as they find the history around them. The uses of computer animation to show how things used to look (or might have looked!) and the technology that allows the scientists to 'look' into the ground even before the first shovel full of earth is turned over.The show is seen in the US on the History Channel International channel, and is well worth looking up.
