When the geophys fails, you gotta bEELieve in the archeology.

I won't say it's cold at Flag Fen, Mick, but even the eels have frozen

Gillian Smith

"Hey Mick, shall I ask chef to do Eel Pie, for tea?"

Kevin B

Mick, we’ve broken the Land-Rover, let’s bury the part and it’ll confuse the archaeologists in 600 years. They’ll have a lot to talk about in the pub.

Philip King

"Mick, when you said the next dig was going to be 'eely', I thought you meant it was going to be at the cathedral..."

Andy2120

That Stuart has sent us on a wild goose chase again. ‘Eel have to go.

What we forget is that Time Team started as a British cooking show...

Martin Fry

This one has got ypur name on it Mick!

LionsClaws

"I'm telling you, you fillet this over high heat to sear it, sprinkle some salt and pepper, and it'll taste incredible!"

Laura Bates

What do you mean this isn’t a medieval find?

Vae

"What do you mean I'm getting paid in eels?"

Sandhurst

This is as slippery as some of your explanations

Ian New

Not quite the Iron Age find they were hoping for, but undeniably the liveliest.

Michael Sperry

"OK, Mick! We've got the eels. Now where's the hovercraft?"

Paul Tomblin

It’s dangerous to go alone. Take this eel with you.

Geoffrey James

Tell Phil that this is his new trowel.

Garry Matthews

I don’t think one is going to be enough for the whole teams supper

Wessex-Wyvern

I think there's something wrong with the microphone

Rowan Wade

“What can you tell me about this eel? Or “You’re telling me this eel…”

Chef Tess

Tony- "So an eel, a a random dude and Mick Aston walk into a pub ..."

Wendy Carey

Well, I think it must be ritual!

Let's bury this eel when you back fill the trench to confuse future investigators...

Tony explains to Mick how the little-known Robinson family origins as eel charmers can be of use to the Team.

Michael Smith

Mic, we’re supposed to be archeologists so what are we doing with this eel!

Flo Brookes

And do you think they used it to pick their noses?

Debra Kyle

I found it like this

Deb

The 'eel on the van goes round and round

Bob Kingsmill

Not iron age. Not even close. This is what happens when you let amateurs do marine archaeology.

This is Series 9, that’s a series 3, let’s all go to the pub

No Mick! You put the lime in the coconut

Peter Blay

Is it a neolithic back scatcher

Andrew Cook

‘Come on pal. You look like a bloke who likes a bargain. It’s yours for a fiver. We’ve got more in the land rover. Tell you what - three for a tenner and I’ll throw in a signed copy of my autobiography.’

Peter Horsam

You're only as young as you eel

Russell Neilsen

You eat it Tony - I'm a vegetarian, remember.

David Jinks

This is one of the eeliest finds we've ever had on Time Team.

Chrina Jarvis

Hey, Mick, that's one helluva eel (a take on "elver" meaning young eel!)

alyce moore

Sweet! Did you bring enough for everyone?

Mark Gaither

I know you really want to ring my neck!

Alan reay mackay

Bend over Mick it needs to get out of the sun

Dave1900

I don't see how holding this eel will help us find the Roman bathhouse.

Ed

It followed me home. Can I keep it?

Rosalind Green

Mick, we better ask Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall to put the pie and mash on.

Denise Smith

... and then you blow in this hole and you have a flute.

duncan anderson

So Mick, when the Eel Age start and end?

duncan anderson

Tony "But in this context is it a ritual eel or an edible eel?" Mick "well Tony, that's open to debate but we'll get Mick the Twig to count it's growth rings and at least we will have an accurate date of death!" Man next to Disco, "leave my lunch out of this"

george

Tony -So in the Middle Ages they would wear one of these around their neck to ward off the devil. Mic- Well I suppose that would do it then.
