The distinctive grass-covered remains of the deserted medieval village of Ulnaby are a landmark in the Durham countryside, and although they've been photographed, surveyed and written about, they've never been dug. Tony Robinson and the team have been invited to physically unearth the secrets of one of the best-preserved archaeological sites in Britain.

    RIP Mick, you are still shining just as bright as you did in life through these episodes ā¤

    One of the things that I really like about Time Team videos is that everyone truly loves what they do, the young lady with the cattle vertebra says " Another really nice piece is part of a cattle vertebra". To someone who isn't an archeologist that looks like a small rock, but to her it was a nice find. I think loving what you do for a living is important.

    The last time I was this early to a Time Team video, Ulnaby was still inhabited.

    Philā€™s smug enjoyment in proving Stuart wrong is my favorite part of this episode.
  • @captainzeppos
    I can picture these fine gentlemen surveying in the field ending their day of hard work in the nearest pub, being content with the day's findings and having 7 pints of local brew. Each.

    I think you should petition the land owner to do a complete dig. I'm sure there'd be some fascinating stuff uncovered...
  • @beast4661
    I love how these guys are all professionals in their own right but they give each other hell. šŸ˜‚ Thatā€™s a dig Iā€™d like to be on.
  • @TheSonicdruid72
    Phil getting fired up about Stewart putting him in a Barren Trench is so funny. Never seen him like that before
  • @giuseppe4909
    I like all the Time Team stuff, but the combination of Tony, Mick and Phil just canā€™t be beat šŸ‘
  • @peggyw172
    Stuartā€™s hat, fingerless mits and sweater/jumper are colorful and pretty!
  • @lindahughes2289
    Phil the happy, Mick the calm and the energizer bunny Tony are my favorites !!!

    I would have loved to be an archeologist. I love history, from ancient to the Renaissance. My family said I should have been a history teacher.
  • @wabisabi6875
    Is there a compilation of Victor's illustrations? This would be a real treasure.

    The aerial view looks like a kid tried to cover up the legos he didnā€™t clean up with a giant green rug! šŸ˜‚

    The Greystokes. I wonder of Tarzan's relatives ever lived there.
  • @pedenmk
    Ahh my favorite grop of blokes are back. I love this program. Put Tony to work will you?

    This gradual decline in the 17th century, overlooks the generations stolen by the civil war conscription, Naval press gangs, and the early industrial revolution. It's not hard to imagine every able bodied man disappearing from these villages overnight, never to be seen again.
