John Gater's Speech at the Ness of Brodgar Premiere (Patreon)

Last Friday, we were delighted to premiere our latest Ness of Brodgar film in Orkney. Before the screening, John Gater took to the stage to say a few words, and we wanted to share his speech with you.

John makes a point that simply can't be said often enough. None of this would be possible without you.

As a Time Team Patreon member, you're doing far more than supporting a YouTube channel. You're helping to fund new archaeological research, new excavations and new discoveries. The film you're about to watch exists because of your support, and so does the work we're carrying out right now in Orkney.

If you haven't already, don't forget that you can watch the full, unreleased version of the Ness of Brodgar documentary right here on Patreon, completely ad free.

As our excavations continue over the coming weeks, we'll be bringing you exclusive updates, behind-the-scenes access and the latest discoveries as they happen.

From everyone at Time Team, thank you for being part of this journey. Every excavation, every survey and every new piece of evidence adds to our understanding of the past, and your support is helping to make that possible.
