I didn’t catch what the link to Sommerton castle was - can you explain a bit more please ?

H Harding

Regarding the mill mentioned in the dispute document. Its name is also given as something like ‘rugemolin’, which is to say ‘red mill’. Perhaps because of the very local surface geology? Perhaps at the point where it stands or because the river or leat water picks up a redder trace?

wayne melberg

Absolutely loved the latest dig! So very interesting and enjoyed every minute! Thank you all so very much!!!

Valerie Everson

Nice to see everyone (where was Matt?) But l personally,- and l am sure it is a feeling that will not be shared by many- was a little disappointed, perhaps l have been watching too many of the old classics recently but it all felt a bit flat, the archaeolgy was there but didnt grab me, it was great to see all the test pits, but l felt that so much was assumed by so many small, finds. I think l must be getting jaded with age

I agree with apparent lack of excitement….perhaps the presenter Gus, could be a little more involved and show some true excitement…he seems too removed….his contribution was to show up and ask “where is my moated manor house “ about 31 times…still…it was an AWESOME dig… Gus, the key to Sir Tony’s success with time team, was not being afraid to appear ignorant and ask lots of questions…remember not all of us are highly educated, soft spoken historians. The presenter should represent the public in this kind of show….

When I started watching this I was thinking how nice it was to have the same old intro music and graphics, I'm glad that wasn't changed. That having been said, personally, I am finding that I enjoy the new programs most when I do not compare them with the original series. Times change, people change, and things move on. As much as we would love to have Mick, Robin, Victor, and the original crew back in the trenches it is just not possible.

I was thinking that Gus was getting more comfortable with asking questions and being more enthusiastic. If you go back and watch the old episodes, I think you will find it was Tony who asked "where is..?." 47 times.

I really enjoyed this one (as usual), but the three days separately format does change the pacing of the show quite a bit, which has both upsides and downsides. For me, there might have been a tad much promotion of the Walt Disney angle when watching the three days back to back to back. On the other hand, I could have stood to see even a few *more* test pits - few finds or many, viking or modern, i thought the format made it clear how they all contributed statistically to the picture of the development of Norton Disney over the ages, and it was something that could not have been shown as much in the old show.

Jean Fleming

You summed up my feelings nicely. It wasn’t really a “fairytale”, so much as a typical dig.

Larissa Spiker

I kept waiting for him to ask why the town was called Norton Disney- as in, what does the double name lend to the history of the area. I like Gus but I couldn’t help thinking, “Tony would have asked that.”

Elaine P

Or maybe he did ask but it landed on the cutting room floor?

I absolutely love Time Team, it's been such a wait since the last episode (as opposed to all the other wonderful content we're getting). But I have to agree with several comments: too many comments about the American Disney connection (full disclosure: I'm American), and it did seem a bit flat. I think part of it being "flat" was that too often the camera was looking at people instead of the archaeology. At least 10 times I must have voiced "can we please see what they're looking at?" This happened in the trenches and when examining finds. It was an odd realization as I never felt that prior to this episode. Overall, camera work was...different this time. Maybe too much time spent on the geneology part and following the decendants, especially with so many test pits to cover? Though TT has certainly included genelogy discussions effectively in the past. But all that said, the magical 3rd day discoveries happened right on cue, and it was still an interesting episode. I burst out in delighted laughter when they showed the Samian ware - but of course! It now feels like it just isn't a proper dig without it making an appearance. Anyway, I enjoyed it, continued to learn from TT, and am greatly looking forward to the very interesting digs being planned. As always, a huge thank you to the whole crew!
