Time Team had a great positive impact… that’s a generation ago now. History doesn’t grab the Young on television now so much. Also, irrespective of the study of history being almost debased at school now, imho, those with A level History must be thinking “would this degree be putting bread on my table?” It was the same forty years ago in similarly straightened times.. I wanted to be an archaeologist. Economics won. Yes, we, the amateurs, currently have a huge part to play. My hat is off continuously for your and the other stalwarts here’s efforts.
