Incidentally, Mr Harding, this flygirl will gladly buy you a pint, any day and would love to hear stories about years of pulling history out of the ground one piece, one bone, and one shard at a time.

My eldest son is now 19 and guess what he is studying at University (say no more) thank you Time Team. The thing that should be axed is the TV exec that made that decision. and Im so grateful to all the Time Team members for a wonderful 20 seasons. I continue to be in awe of the fantastic skill and enthusiasm of the presenters.May TT be always available to us.

It is amazing to contemplate the staggering amount of archaeology lurking beneath the surface of the whole of the British Isles. Enjoyed Tony and the whole crew, felt like u were part of the dig and part of the crew, they were all like family. Couldnt agree more. I wish I could study with Mick Ashton. The thrill of time running out also engaged viewers, and Time Teams popularity was rewarded with increasingly longer series.

I have always enjoyed TT but the latest series seems to have lost its spark! She joined the frontline team of presenters, for the 2006 series and continued until 2010.
