Reservoir Rituals | FULL EPISODE | Time Team

Seeing Phil clutching worked flint like a giddy school girl will never get old. ❤️

Matt is so competent and likeable, it's nice to see Phil sharing his flint knapping knowledge with him. A worthy successor.

It is so sweet to see how Happy Flint makes Phil... Gorgeous 🥰

Binge watching as many of these episodes I can get my hands on for the last several months. Never gets old. RIP Mick

Phil and Ian the Dig have such a relationship... Love it!

Phil's accent is a perpetual pleasurable bonus in all these episodes.

I miss Time Team. It was a one of a kind program.

Just starting this one, but already so happy to see Mick and Francis together in a prehistory episode!

I love this team. They have enough seriousness, little comedy provided by Phil, beautiful landscape and wonderful finding of ancient findings. Personalities Plus.

Phil, smiling wide: "That is our prehistoric pot"

I started watching this programme at the end of my birthday. 20/10 /1957, And what a present this was! I enjoy all of the content of all of the programmes. But I particularly see not only the professional skills in such abundance but also the joy of discovery and even more so the camaraderie of this wonderful group of people how to help us all "see" our history I am so happy every time I watch a new discovery, I have very few regrets in life but one might be I wish I had followed my love of history to a professional standard.

This show has saved me during quarantine. 💜💜💜 I adore Tony, Phil, Mick, Raksha and the rest!!

My favourite bit was the toast, with Phil's cheerful cry of, "death to our enemies!"

I love these shows so very much!! Thank you for posting these!!!

I get all the remarks about Francis and his focus on ritual, but I think that one can't compare what we 21 Century people in front of our screens consider to be a ritual or being religious with the prehistoric take on it. Technology has taken away much of what rituals were used for by our ancestors. We have civil administration, clocks measure time, agriculture is based on satelite forecasts and we have scientific explanations for more or less everything that happens to and in our environment. Those guys didn't have any of that. So religion and rituals were their way to organize their every day life. They observed nature, they came to conclusions and then they fitted into a story, because, lacking literacy, they couldn't write a paper on it and had to memorize it and pass it on in oral tradition. Those stories told them what to do and when and became ritualized in the sense of repetition. Those "ritual landscapes" weren't just fancy Ulumulu, they were practical - if the shadow of the pole hits the circle on the stone it's time to have a party to gather all the people because there was a lot of work to do in the fields, so we move from fishing in the wet to planting crops in the dry and that's a ritual, because it was important, it had to be celebrated to give it this importance. That's how your society gets its structure, its administration - from that point of view it's actually quite logical that they put so much effort into it and it would have been present basically everywhere, its part of what we today would call Infrastructure. You have to reign in your 21st century atheistic cynicism for a moment, because it doesn't apply to the stone age or bronze age or iron age.

i so love watching these shows as well, learning alot about other countries and cultures, gives one a better appreciation for what we have now, and what they all had to go thru so that we can have , what we do. and i love Tony and Phil and all the team.

Another one that takes my breath away. Thank you! Mick and Francis--what a combo!

I've been watching this show for a few months.i love British accents..lol..and of course archeology..thanks for posting!

Time Team reminds me of "my" good old days of educational and fun TV in the 90s... back when the history channel was about um... history. So many good shows back then...

Not Somerset. It's Devonshire. Compelling Sunday evening viewing in the 90s. My wife's jam scones and Time team. Perfect!
