Time Team Reviews

Time Team sees amateur historian Tony Robinson and a team of archaeologists hunt around the UK for interesting dig sites, with the intention of identifying settlements from the past and fitting them into the narrative of British History. The show is filmed in a fly-on-the-wall style with Robinson narrating the team's progress to the camera and ...  Read the complete review

Every Sunday night for years and years it's been the same when Time Team has arrived on the channel 4 line up. We have our tea and despite our protests Tony Robinson and co appear. Telling us about how many trenches they have dug up, showing us broken pieces of pottery that have been found and maps which mean absoloutly nothing to me. It first ...  Read the complete review

Time Team seems to have a big following, but it's not for me. It's always on on Sunday evenings when I want to watch something more exciting, or over Bank Holidays weekends when they have their Time Team specials. For me, Time Team is just a group of people digging in a field. I admit that it does raise awareness about history and can ...  Read the complete review

For whatever reason, Time Team has managed to accumulate quite a following in living rooms around the country. They have been digging it up all over, and coming up with lots of fun stuff that has actually been renewing peoples interest in the past. When I was living in Kings Lynn, they excavated a tiny chapel at nearby Bawsey, and found all manner ...  Read the complete review

What with today's reality television shows, soaps and various other celebrity endorsed programmes it is rare that a program about archaeology gets such high viewing figures. Time Team is the show I'm talking about and it has been a real hit with the public, first showing in 1994 there have been over 200 episodes. It is currently shown on Channel ...  Read the complete review

I have always had an interest in History, bt I feel I owe my interest in Archeology entirely to the programme Time Team. It is a programme which has been broadcast on Channel 4 and repeated frequently on various Discovery channels. It has been going for over 10 years now, in the same format, which shows how successful it is. The ...  Read the complete review

Time Team is not a programme I ever thought I would enjoy watching but my previous boyfriend did a degree in archaology and as such he always liked to watch this programme and I actually grew to like it. The show can be seen on Channel Four and is hosted by Tony Robinson who as an actor took on the role of Baldrick in the Blackadder ...  Read the complete review

First shown on Channel 4 way back in 1994, this is a programme that I would watch with my parents. I have to admit that I did not take much notice of it then, but in recent weeks have taken to watching the re-runs on the More4 channel. The current series is running on Channel 4 at 5.45 pm on Sunday evenings. Presented by Tony Robinson ...  Read the complete review

I like watching Time Team. The show is made over three days. Member of the public calls in the team of archaeologists and diggers to explore a place of interest. Time team is a show that digs up the past to show us in the present things that happened in the past. Tony Robinson often mistaken for Anne Robinsons son ...  Read the complete review

Months ago I wrote a review of one of the Time Team books on another site, and my thoughts and attitude towards that publication are pretty much mirrored in the program itself. Dont get the idea that I dont like the program, I am an avid fan, but I also have a lot of reservations towards it. Before I delve into those details, a brief overview of ...  Read the complete review

Oh dear, that title is so appalling I fear I'll be sent to stand in the corner with a dunce's cap on. Well my only excuse is a weekend of sugar overload. I thought I'd have a wander over to the television section, which I rarely visit and produce one of those oh so annoying, three star, on the fence opinions. Today ...  Read the complete review

Before I lay into Time Team let me say that they have done the archaeological world a favour by bringing it to the masses and normally I would think they're great but... their techniques are so vile that they have been practically barred from coming to the Republic of Ireland or Northern Ireland ever again. Time Team, is an ...  Read the complete review

As anyone who has read my previous ops or visited my member page will know, I have something of an obsession with all things archaeological. In the spirit of some highly scientific research, I have observed that if you mention the word “archaeology” to anyone not involved in it (i.e. sane, normal people), then nine times out of ten, ...  Read the complete review

I have to confess, ive only recently discovered this programme! I was recently introduced to Time Team by a maths teacher at college (im doing A-level physics, chemistry and biology). We have the maths teacher for the unit we're studying at the moment in physics because the unit is called "Digging Up the Past", and as its name ...  Read the complete review

Time Team makes archeology exciting. I watch intently as they dig exploratory trenches or try out their computer readings in the field. I also feel the disappointment when they don't find what they expect. This programme makes archeological research accessible to everyone. You need no specialist knowledge to enjoy this. Tony ...  Read the complete review

I have watched Time Team right from the beginning. It as excellent programme, allowing the difficult and somtimes labourious process of aracheology to be accessible and interesting to the general public. All of the experts are enthusiastic, knowledgable and also easy to understand, but it is Tony Robinson who really makes the programme work with ...  Read the complete review

Ok i do watch Time team,but only because i studied Geography for a year at college ok. Some of them are boring and you just don't care about Anglo Saxon settlements in deepest Norfolk,but some are quite interesting and amusing,no more so than today's episode where the mixture of bearded eccentrics and historians had to investigate a site ...  Read the complete review

Tony Robinson, the show’s presenter, puts so much enthusiasm into this Channel 4 programme that it really makes you feel that you want to be part of the team and start digging. Each week the team descends on a site of historic interest and tries to discover some history about the site by digging trenches and using seismic surveys. ...  Read the complete review
