S06E04 - Cheddar Gorge, Somerset. False advertising par excellence from the #TimeTeam. There’s no cheddar (and no alcohol, more to the point), in this whole, slightly disappointing, cave-based episode. I needed a drink just to get over it after a wholly unsatisfying 46m 59s.
I mean, even the geo-phys results look more #HammerHouseofHorror than they do #TimeTeam! If John hasn’t just located the seventh circle of hell under Thetford, I’ll be a downright amazed. Hell-under-Thetford - a new suburb for consideration by the local planners??
S06E03 - Thetford, Norfolk. Is this #TimeTeam, or a crossover episode with #TwilightZone perhaps? Parents and students are apparently drinking (wholly unseen) wine in the Great Hall, off camera, while Phil and Carenza are left outside, digging in the dark. Unalcoholic for its complete 46m 59s run!
S06E02 - Papcastle, Cumbria. More obscure Romans leaving hitherto unexplained ruins in honest folks’ backyards, but the #TimeTeam are undaunted, putting the pap back into Papcastle with nothing stronger than tea to sustain them for a full 47m 00s episode. Weird ‘uns, border folk, right i‘nuf.
S06E01 - Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent. The #TimeTeam are digging in the town centre of modern-day Stock-on-Tent, looking for the first Wedgwood factory. We’ve wine at the 27m 45s mark, but sadly no pub in which to enjoy it, nor any real sign of the whole team relaxing together as they normally would.
S05E07 - High Worsall, North Yorkshire. An abandoned medieval village with no pub forces the #TimeTeam to do without - cider gets a passing mention, but there’s not a drop to be seen of that or any other type of alcohol in this entire 47m 48s episode.
S05E07 - Downpatrick, Co. Down. Ag cuardach iarsmaí luatha Críostaí i nDún Pádraig, stad #TimeTeam do Bushmills ag an marc 30m 5s sa chlár seo. Sláinte! #SpeirGorm
S05E06 - Aston Eyre, Shropshire. I swear there must be whole swaths of England without pubs. The #TimeTeam were reduced to drinking wine out of polystyrene cups in a drafty old medieval barn, at the 30m 10s mark in this episode.
S05E05 - Mallorca, Spain. A spot of sunshine for the #TimeTeam as they head to Spain in search of remains of the Copper Age Beaker Folk. Siestas not withstanding, we got to see more of the lads’ knees than was decent, but it’s 30m 51s before they break out the sangria at a US archeologist’s home.
S05E04 - Turkdean, Gloucestershire. On the search for an ever expanding Roman villa, the #TimeTeam stop for a period Roman feast accompanied by modern wine at the 32m 56s mark in this episode.
