Save your money for something good and enjoyable

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

I love archeology and was overjoyed when I first found this show. But after seeing a few episodes my enthusiasm decreased markedly.It seems all too often they end up digging a site where there's nothing to be found. Or what they can find doesn't translate very well into television format. An imperceptible stain in the soil that we're told is ironclad proof of an Anglo-Saxon settlement is hardly riveting. And then there's the regular crew, some of whom I find to be nigh unto repellent in their on-air personas (Phil being chief in that regard).Then, with scant to non-existent evidence the whole staff, no doubt desperate to make a program out of nothing, go off on wild speculation about the vast villa or palace that once surely graced the landscape. I guess it's safe enough to do that as there's seldom any method to verify whatever theories they cook up, no matter how outlandish and unsupported.I could still find the program very interesting if they'd just give up on the idiotic (and utterly arbitrary) 3-day time limit. Home many shows have they ended with the closing "well, we could have done better if we'd have only had a little more time" or some such. Here's an idea - TAKE THE TIME YOU NEED TO GET THE JOB DONE.Anyway, it was a nice try. I just wish they'd have approached it differently.

Just watched the Newmarket dig, Is it the first with the new lineup? Not impressed at all. Tony Robinson seemed lost and not as full of enthusiasm as he used to be. Even Phil Harding seemed to be struggling a little. Tony, Phil, Mick Aston and the rest of the team made a good crew...at ease with each other. Now it seems like a pint of flat beer! It's lost a lot of its 'punch' and life. Did watch every episode with interest as a budding archaeologist. Don't know now that I shall bother. Why can't can't they leave things alone that are obviously working well? With this new format, I wonder how long it will last, as I can see a ratings fall on the way. Such a shame, as it was a programme that introduced archaeology to a wider audience.

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.

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.
