There is so much debate about this programme, that I'd be interested to know what people think.

I know they speculate a lot, and they "prove" their theories almost every week,........but

I love it!

It's got so many people interested in the past (I know, not always in a good way - LETS DIG IT UP!), but as a partial educational tool for the young it really has its place

What I have seen I have usually enjoyed and would go out of my way to see it . The annoying bits are part of the sauce .

Let's not be too critical. It's an archaeology programme for the masses, not for the self-proclaimed "experts". Basically, if it attracts the Sunday evening crowd, and sparks an interest in those otherwise not interested, then that's a good thing. Hence Tonhy Robinson's questions to the archaeologists. It's a programme designed to appeal and attract those who aren't familiar with archaeology, as well as those who already are interested, which, in my opinion, shines through.
In an age of moronic T.V., lets be thankful of programmes like Time Team, and the likes of Life, etc. Thank f*ck there are no celebrities digging. Small mercies etc.
