    Time Team is literally the best television show ever invented.

    It’s an archaeology TV show with a reality-TV twist included: Send a team of professional archaeologists, geophysicists, historians, etc. to research a site of interest… in the span of just three days.

    The show ran for 20 seasons on TV, and is still running today, rebooted as a Patreon-supported Youtube series. Watch it.

        Lmfao, that second link sent me. Thanks for sharing!

        Yeah, Tony’s schtick is definitely grating at times, and I think the new hosts are doing a better job now that they’ve hit their stride.

        In that same vein, it’s fascinating to watch how the levels of sexism among the cast change from the early seasons to now. Carenza and Helen took some real shit in their day…

          I know! The thing is it was so normalized back then, that watching back then… I just didn’t notice it. Amazing what a modern lens can do to a classic show
