Site Wrestle Reflections: Helen Geake
Added 2021-02-28 13:04:59 +0000 UTCAs the dust settles on the opening round of Site Wrestles, Series Producer Tim Taylor catches up with Helen Geake to reflect upon what they've learnt. Quite a lot, as it turns out!
There's been much debate (among the team and Patrons) around the pros and cons of Time Team's traditional format, as well as the opportunity to explore different approaches in this new era. Tim and Helen tease out these ideas further, considering the value in taking a longer view on certain sites.

I have watched every season and episode of TimeTeam when I was taking care of my brother he loved it on YouTube and we got into watching a episode every day sometime two a day. After he passed I remembered the series while on lockdown from COVID-19 and I watched them all again I am pleased to be on this new adventure with you all. Glad to see some of the regulars coming back but will miss Mick in his colorful sweaters, hats and gloves lol and thanks to Tim for getting you all back to TimeTeam. I am glad to give my support
2021-05-23 08:33:55 +0000 UTCOne of the bits I enjoyed most was Stewart's "Landscape Investigations". It happens to be one where patrons (or whatever we should be called) could join the investigation and debate. For example, how many of us have seen a straight line on a map and leapt to a conclusion about it? (In my case - South Oxfordshire - there's supposed to be a Roman road North of Streatley. But I can't see signs of it on the map or in the landscape.) So that is where the teamsters (that's us) :-) could come in - in the build up to the actual dig itself. Examining the maps and any other widely-available evidence.
