Has Time Team Been Axed?

Phil did get slightly annoyed with this.

Phil is my favourite i love the banter between him and tony,which isn't in the script i don't think.Many is the time when Tony has upset Phil and has had to make a quick exit,to avoid Phil's spade Tony once got told off for stepping on something and Phil went mad so another quick exit was made

Oh don't say that. I've been stuck on my 3xggf for 2. The thought of another 12 might just push me over the edge...

I am told is Phil is certainly someone you don't want to cross. Not all "real archeology takes several weeks or years. There are a lot of quick digs like Time team to assess site when a building has been knocked down before the builders start digging it all up and laying new foundations. This kind of archeology has a time limit as delays cost money. Time Team does do specials on longer digs such as the one at Canterbury. They also do bits where a dig is already taking place, presumably because they have better equipment plus get the present dig a bit of publicity. Never understood why "real archeologists" complain as the digs are always supervised by trained archeologists and Mick has said he's always done short assessmnet digs before Time Team came along.

They did two very interesting progammes on the Coventry Cathedral dig a while back, because there
was simply too much to cover in one programme.  I am biased because it is my home city,  but  I learnt a lot about the history.

Phil and his hat are my favourites too!

  And his straggly hair and long nails too, bless him.  Could do with a little TLC

Phil is one of the experts.   His real job is archaelogy.

His real job is archaelogy. 

That's not his job, it's his passion. He just happens to get paid for it.

I have always quite enjoyed Time Team.

Does anyone remember when TT dug up gold buckets in the field somewhere (sorry cant remember where) and then they re-buried them and threw loads of nails around the field to confuse the metal detectors.

Why did they do that and not have them in a museum somewhere for all of us to see?
