We are beyond excited to be releasing our newest special episode this weekend! And we couldn't have done it without your support!

In this episode the team are joining Dr Hugh Willmott from the University of Sheffield, with the Cerne Abbey Research Project, as they embark on the rediscovery of a lost Medieval Abbey in Cerne Abbas, Dorset. Destroyed at the Dissolution and hidden for nearly half a Millennia, it lies only 500 metres from the feet of the Iconic chalk hill figure, known as the Cerne Abbas Giant. Could these two incredible landmarks be connected in some way? Time Team help to uncover the richness of this incredible abbey and explore the landscape around for clues to this question.

We hope you join all join us at 7pm GMT on Saturday 8th November for the premiere! Click the link below to find the episode:https://youtu.be/DY68mzYXWK8

Nicola Beviss

So excited! It was great to dig there this summer!

Andrew Calderwood

Looking forward to this episode. I had the privilege to participate on this dig the last two years!!

Carrie Hartley

Utterly fascinating! Have been looking forward to this after visiting the initial post dig site in July 24.Thank you to everyone who have worked hard on uncovering the mysteries.Good to have a better understanding of the Giant after all the theories.Happy digging!

Helena McGinty

Bah!. Supposed to be scrubbing moss off my patio wall. Cant bring myself to press pause.

Michael Taylor

That was such a good watch - I had no idea that the Giant's age had been dated with sufficient confidence, let alone that the earthwork above might have been a chapel. Absolutely fascinating. Thanks again!

So amazing, interesting and valuable! Thank you Time Team!

Des Bowring

That was excellent. There was so much progress made in understanding the site - taking part must have been really satisfying and exciting!

Andreas Brunath

I really enjoyed this episode I find the connections between clues so fascinating Looking forward to a future episode on the vault at the top of the hill Thanks so much for a riveting show

Karen Lane

Sorry to be a moaner, but for me this potentially interesting programme was spoilt by the continuous intrusive, overbearing, completely unnecessary and intensely irritating 'music' that infested the whole show. At times it made it difficult to hear Matt's voice-overs and some of the interviews (whatever happened to respect for the experts' opinions?), and surely Time Team fans are intelligent enough not to need Hollywood-blockbuster style soundtracks to point the way to dramatic moments, or twee plinky-plonky sounds accompanying shots of people at work. Please let the sounds of human voices and activity carry all meaning - which they will always do more effectively than any hauled-off-the-internet library-music trash. The BBC in particular has ruined every single one of its documentaries by using this, and Time Team is (and always should be) far too good to do the same.

Des Bowring

TT has always used a lot of music (all the 'classic shows did) but I do agree that intrusive music (or any music at all) is unnecessary.

Karen Lane

Hello Des. I agree that Time Team has always used incidental music, but there was a lot less of it in the past. For example: watch any programmes from Series 1 to 12 on More4, and see how these are much quieter but just as interesting as the later shows. Besides, the music that was used then largely came from the specially-commissioned pieces which through their frequent use were as much part of Time Team as the people. There was little, if any, of this 'Let's show some footage of a medieval castle and bung on any old thunderous 'knights in shining armour' type music so that viewers know they're looking at a castle'. And so on. Anyway, I'll stop cracking on now. It seems such music doesn't bother other people, so in future I'll just have to watch more shows with the sound off and the subtitles on.

Des Bowring

Yes I agree, Karen. The earlier ones definitely used better, less intrusive incidental music, come to think of it.

Dario

This was a great episode. Really enjoyable and informative. Surely we’ve got to go back and excavate the feature at the top of the hill!

Tim Chapman

Thank you for a great episode and also exposing the linked with Sherborne Abbey. Having grown up a few miles from Sherborne and visited both the Abbey there and the Cerne giant numerous times it was fascinating to learn more. It also got me looking into why Sherborne Abbey survived the reformation while Cerne Abbey met its demise

JessieB

Thank you for speaking up, Karen. I absolutely agree.
