Nice shout-out to Phil Harding!

I think Derek did a great job as lead on this dig. Wonderful seeing Jackie, Miles and Phillipa again. The new digs just get better and better! 👍

I love this longer three part/three day format. 👍

Fabulous. Simply fabulous. I hope more exploration and discovery happens at this site - it is obviously so rich and so worthyt of future study. Thank you, everyone, for a fantastic three days.

Happy 30th Birthday Time Team, and many more. Everyone seems so comfortable together and have achieved amazing results. Thanks very much for everything you do.❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉

The beginning, not the end - wonderful words! What a complex, fascinating story they are discovering on Derek’s family’s farm! I’m sorry the diggers had to deal with flooded tents, though. Take care, Time Teamers!

It’s programmes like Time Team that keep us grounded and connected to our historical landscape. Given the time limits, really interesting archaeology. Excellent presentations by host and senior team. So nice to see everyone providing their expertise on site and in real time. Five stars to Emily and her camera teams, and of course to Tim, a creative genius. Danielle’s regular updates compliment the main show. Happy Birthday!

When he said 500 Winters that struck home how time is fleeting, but I’m enjoying every minute of these new episodes! 😌👏🏻🐾

It's good to see something that isn't completely resolved at the end of three days - feels like real life. I hope we get the chance to see what happens in the future, Derek??

I was critical of Gus and his demeanor at the beginning. He seemed too gentle and cerebral to be able to pass along the excitement that I had come to associate with Time Team due to Tony's energetic style. However, I was wrong. Yes, the styles are very different; but Gus has come into his own here, and the rest of the team - old and new - are just a pure delight. The networks could take lessons from Time Team on how television should be done; how it doesn't have to be dumbed down to be entertaining, educational, and delightful. I am so happy that they are here.

Oh man that end with the tents and cars stuck in mid had me laughing. I love how real this show is on so many levels. And I love you included that. I am so happy you are back creating Time Team. Thanks for an other brilliant episode!

Happy 30th to ALL the team , Past,present,and to the future!! For TIME TEAM !!🎂✌️🥃😁

I've been watching Tt for more than 20 years and i love every one of the team, but I am really getting to love Gus. He had a very difficult job, stepping into the footprints of a giant, and he does it brilliantly! His voice is soft and sweet, his smile contagious, he is clearly loving what he does. I hope we will see many many more episodes with him. Go on old and new team!

Happy 30th birthday, Time Team!

Bravo, the end credits enlightened me as to how many people, organisations and skills were involved in this dig. Thank you very much. I'll watch it again and again. Long live Time Team.

As an enjoyer of the previous iteration of this show I feel compelled to comment on Dr Gus has grown into the role of main narrator extremely well IMO. Not falling into the trap of replicating the previous version and managing to improve on the role and enhancing viewing experience.

once again i click like before it's even started.

fantastic 30th anniversary episode! This really is my favorite kind of time team, it's difficult ephemeral archaeology that really requires the highest level of expertise and brings to bear the highest level of scientific scrutiny. This kind of stuff that really works towards answering difficult questions about every day people about whom there is next to no written history is really the heart of what modern archaeology is all about. Evaluating sites like these in tight time constraints is what archaeologists really train for and getting as much information as you can to study in the post excavation analysis is a real treasure. As Mick Aston pointed out when pitching the concept, most evaluation excavations are only given that much time if even that and often with far fewer resources, the goal is to get as much as you can to study and hopefully protect the site for future generations. Time team is no doubt an invaluable resource for archaeological work in Britain and a fantastic inspiration for archaeologists everywhere!

Thank you so much Time team. Excellent episode as usual.
