Other good prehistoric episodes are flag fen where they find a barrow (on an island of the dead)

There's also the causewayed enclosure one (a cracker too!)

There's loads of other good ones too based on the neolithic & bronze age where they find another henge!, trackways, roundhouses etc. It may not be everyones cup of tea but it's on telly, they are digging, learning and being in these landscapes, talking about them and focussing on what we all like. Surely that has to be worth watching. It's gven me a lot of joy anyway

Oh yeah, the amazing special I saw about seahenge in 1999 which I'be been looking for for ages is covered in a catch up review,time team digs about their neolithic & bronze age programmes. Well worth a watch. Even for the druids!
Here it is

Cheers GWASS, that's really helpful for speedy downloading next time I'm at the internet cafe and have the faster speeds to get a whole bunch of stuff at once.

Not sure what "even the druids" means, but then again, I'm not typical and haven't fit any of the druid groups I've tried over the last 20 years. Ever hopeful, and to save boring youse all to death, I've signed up for some new druid forums this new year, so I haven't totally given up, obviously.

Actually, I remember the Seahenge one because the local Druids asked to give an opinion but were ignored. I would imagine they wanted Time Team to consider the possibility the upside down tree was a shaft burial, and not an altar. That would mean human remains might be involved though. That then means different rules apply, which (I think?) would have meant they had to approach the dig differently, precluding the possibility of moving the whole thing away.
