Still life in the old dog yet. Hearty congratulations. Thoroughly deserved IMO. I am sure Mick is having a sly grin from the great beyond. I have watched Time Team from the first episode. The cast has changed a bit, but the vibe lives on. Proud to be part of the team, and happy to support the endeavors. Eagerly awaiting the launch of the Sutton Hoo ship launch and the new finds on Orkney.

Janie Waters

Well done, and heartiest congratulations to the best programming to ever hit broadcast. I've been with you all the way, and admittedly have downloaded everything except the newer seasons - I can't tell you how many hours I've spent in the company of such stellar individuals. I'm so filled with joy for all of you. RIP Mick (who nudged me back into knitting so I could have a striped jumper LOL - and who reminded me that digging a hole in your backyard isn't just digging a hole), Robin (who pushed me back into being a researcher), and Victor (who re-instilled in me my love of drawing) - what a tremendous journey this has been for everyone involved. 👍

Stephanie Hogan
