Wonderful to see Francis and hear about his view on TT.

Sarah Holloway

This is wonderful to hear this reaction that Time Team caused in the general population towards Archaeology . Time Team was the best programme on TV and was inspirational and brought so much joy to so many people .

Ivan Clowsley

Lovely to hear from Francis his enthusiasm is infectious.

Bennyo Oliver

Great to see Francis Pryor. Great man. One of my favourite personalities. Thank you Francis.

JUDITH COOKE

Francis sums up the value of Time Team perfectly. Happy Birthday from Time Team Fans.

Carole Cox

Time Team dusted off the image of Archeology. It became a living part of many communities.

TimeTeamOfficial

Yes, by coincidence it is Francis's birthday tomorrow. Happy birthday from all of us too!

Stan Johnson

I fully agree with Francis regarding archaeological standards. I think most of us Time Team fans were gratified to know the archaeology was being done properly and I'm sure any future endeavours will maintain the same high standards.

David Gabriel

Great to hear from Francis, Time Team resident apologist of the "Ritual" Interpretation and most needed poetic counterpart to the oftentimes pragmatic view of the majority. Francis and Stuart's demeanor of speech evoked why-s first and what-s second, and stirred my curiosity more than when the speculation was between form vs. function or geophys vs. trench evidence! Best from Portugal!

Doug Mackey

Love Francis, devour his books!

Freda Bradley

Really love your mysteries, Francis, if you ever see this!! <3

Caroline Borduin

That Francis Pryor laugh - just makes you feel good.

Robert Boudreau

Happy birthday Francis. Love your books, you have a great way of making the past something a modern reader can relate to. A rare gift you have in abundance. Read your blog too, and must say I envy your garden!

David Boon

Francis hasn’t changed at all. Time team certainly changed my understanding of archaeology.

Dennis Wert

What a brilliant way to show how Time Team affected public perceptions of archaeology.

Darian

I don't know if that question was asked to some of the others interviewed "How has Time Team affected archaeology" but that was an excellent question and would like to hear it asked to others in future and perhaps they too might have an example where public perception and understanding had been expanded. I wouldn't be surprised many people over the course of the years of this show was inspired to do a course in archaeology even if just at a beginner or introduction course level and some going further than that.

Happy birthday Francis! Could you elaborate about archaeology programs being indulgent, with an example for instance?

Hypatia1

..love watching your enthusiasm on the dogs. Hope we will see you on new episodes!

Pleased Pete

So lovely to see you again with your wit and wisdom. Happy Birthday

Justine Norbury

So wonderful to see you again! Loved watching you on Time Team-as Peter Knowles (above) mentions, your "wit and wisdom" are superb! Many happy returns-I hope you have a very happy birthday!

Dale Wilson

somehow when I see Francis I know everything is going to be O.K.

Mark

Francis is another character from the TT fold. I always respected his readiness to roll up his sleeves and get digging. He did always seem keen on the 'ritual,' aspect as an explanation of a given site's purpose.

Artesian

Watched a TT yesterday where Dr. Pryor dug under a presumed 'natural' to find another level loaded with Bronze Age finds. It was a clear illustration of his skill. Remember him well for his "ritual' comments.

Ian

Ah! It's wonderful to see and hear Francs!

Pat Sinatra

Francis Pryor! You are my favorite! Your agreeable manner and ability to work within the team (as you pointed out) is most apparent. I’m so glad, they added your infectious laugh at the end of this clip. It reminds me of many of the interactions between you and Phil Harding, a sort of playfulness like old school chums. I hope to see you return, if only for a bit of your retirement.

Terri

Ah Frances, you are right. What a joy to know that wonders lie just below your feet.

Rachael Arnott

For someone who's dream was/is to be an archaeologist and will never realise that dream, Time Team let me and lets me live vicariously as a member of a dig team. Francis laughing was always a highlight

Michael Schneider

Frances was always so enthusiastic in the face of Tony’s “ skepticism “. Especially when he was sniffing at Neolithic post holes or burial mounds!!!

Tommy

Wonderful video! I totally agree with Francis, the archaeological standard on Time Team was high and that is the most important thing!

Debra Lecuivre

Never sensationalized, always genuine. No one was acting as if they were Indiana Jones. They seemed to me like real people who were actually enjoying their jobs.
