We've chosen a spectacular location for a very special dig. It's Time Team's 30th birthday and we are celebrating in style...

Time Team heads to Wytch Farm, in the shadow of Corfe Castle, Dorset, where Derek and Lawrence discovered two Iron Age burials back in 2021. They've called in the full team to investigate. Was this a cemetery, and how long have people been living here? Where were they living, and, above all, what were their livelihoods?

Will we uncover the secrets of Wytch Farm? We have just three days to find out!

Join us for the official three-part premiere, right here on the Time Team Official YouTube channel:

Day One: Friday 17th May, 7pm BST:    • New Episode | Day 1: Secrets of Wytch...  
Day Two: Saturday 18th May, 7pm BST:    • New Episode | Day 2: Secrets of Wytch...  
Day Three: Sunday 19th May, 7pm BST:    • New Episode | Day 3: Secrets of Wytch...

    Get ready for another 3-part premiere weekend, this Friday, Saturday and Sunday at 7pm (BST)!
  • @faithhowe6170
    That striped t-shirt spoke volumes, not only a poignant salute to Mick Aston, but showing that Time Team carries on with a new generation of professionals to take up the trowels and lead us on new adventures. Happy 30th Birthday!
  • @darksta01
    I became an Archeologist over 20yrs ago because of Time Team! Its pure joy to see all back!.
  • @owenfish5450
    I walked around fields in the shadow of Corfe Castle myself in 1986 as part of my geog. field trip. Was wet and miserable. At 15, I would have had no idea that decades later I'd be fascinated by what's in the ground in that same area. I've learned more from Time Team than I ever did in school. It's still so refreshing that it's able to mix education and entertainment in a way that isn't dumbed down, patronizing or just out for the dundunnnndunnnnnn moments. Well done TT. Here's to the next 30 years <3

    I struggle with depression, your show takes me away from it, to a fascinating wonderful useful world. Thank you so much!
  • @lilykatmoon4508
    Time Team brings me such joy. I absolutely love how we can get three almost 49 minute episodes for each site. Happy 30th Time Team, but it’s us who get the present!
  • @jtorola
    That view from the field looking at the castle is absolutely beyond stunning
  • Guys, I'm telling you... pleeeeease do the full intro, at least for the first day of each dig. It's one of the greatest intros ever.
  • the new series is really hitting its stride and cranking the quality episodes out now. and Dorset is certainly gorgeous. happy anniversary Time Team. Heres to many more!
  • @susanjane4784
    The best new Time Team yet! Old faces and new ones working together and getting camera time with a whole host of tools and techniques. Can't wait for the next episode!
  • @classicambo9781
    What a great smile John the digger has and lovely to see Rachel get so emotional at the pottery finds. True archaeological enthusiasm on display.
  • @hazelmeldrum5860
    Having been enjoying this programme for 30 years brought back happy and sad memories.[people I watched with who are gone ] I have learned so much over these years always great programmes
  • @fionad9913
    I am going to resist and watch all 3 parts at once after they are all released. The smaller bits just leave me too hungry as it were. I want to see what having the whole meal is like 😊
  • @miaomiaochan
    This is the kind of programming we need more of. Humanity will be best served with more kids being inspired to pursue STEM careers.
  • @Klara-Hvar
    30 years... I'm very grateful (and nostalgic) for the enthusiasm for archeology and history that has been transmitted to us. Congratulations Time Team!
