Story about how ‘Time Team’ has made a crowdfunded comeback: https://www.theguardian.com/science/2026/jan/03/from-iron-age-tunnels-to-youtube-time-teams-extraordinary-digital-renaissance For background: ‘Time Team’ was an archaeology TV programme produced by Channel 4 in the UK starting in the early 1990s. Each episode showed a high-speed (but completely serious) investigation of a particular site over a three-day period, aided by what were then relatively new archaeological geophysical techniques. The actor Tony Robinson was presenter and the late Mick Aston headed the archaeological team. There is a good collection of Wikipedia articles [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_Team] although I seem to remember that a few of the episode summaries are questionable. I must have watched almost every episode during the 90s and early 00s, although I left the UK long before it was cancelled in 2014, apparently after various controversial changes to the format. It has been great to see its online revival over recent years. All the old episodes are available on the ‘Time Team Classics’ YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@TimeTeamClassics And here is the website for the revival: https://www.timeteamdigital.com/ #TimeTeam #archaeology #archeology
