I mean, even the geo-phys results look more #HammerHouseofHorror than they do #TimeTeam! If John hasn’t just located the seventh circle of hell under Thetford, I’ll be a downright amazed.
Hell-under-Thetford - a new suburb for consideration by the local planners??
S06E03 - Thetford, Norfolk.
Is this #TimeTeam, or a crossover episode with #TwilightZone perhaps? Parents and students are apparently drinking (wholly unseen) wine in the Great Hall, off camera, while Phil and Carenza are left outside, digging in the dark. Unalcoholic for its complete 46m 59s run!
S06E02 - Papcastle, Cumbria.
More obscure Romans leaving hitherto unexplained ruins in honest folks’ backyards, but the #TimeTeam are undaunted, putting the pap back into Papcastle with nothing stronger than tea to sustain them for a full 47m 00s episode.
Weird ‘uns, border folk, right i‘nuf.
S06E01 - Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent.
The #TimeTeam are digging in the town centre of modern-day Stock-on-Tent, looking for the first Wedgwood factory. We’ve wine at the 27m 45s mark, but sadly no pub in which to enjoy it, nor any real sign of the whole team relaxing together as they normally would.
S05E07 - High Worsall, North Yorkshire.
An abandoned medieval village with no pub forces the #TimeTeam to do without - cider gets a passing mention, but there’s not a drop to be seen of that or any other type of alcohol in this entire 47m 48s episode.

Searching for early Christian remains in Downpatrick, the #TimeTeam stop for Bushmills at the 30m 5s mark in this episode. #SpeirGorm
S05E07 - Downpatrick, Co. Down.
Ag cuardach iarsmaí luatha Críostaí i nDún Pádraig, stad #TimeTeam do Bushmills ag an marc 30m 5s sa chlár seo. Sláinte! #SpeirGorm
S05E06 - Aston Eyre, Shropshire.
I swear there must be whole swaths of England without pubs. The #TimeTeam were reduced to drinking wine out of polystyrene cups in a drafty old medieval barn, at the 30m 10s mark in this episode.
S05E05 - Mallorca, Spain.
A spot of sunshine for the #TimeTeam as they head to Spain in search of remains of the Copper Age Beaker Folk. Siestas not withstanding, we got to see more of the lads’ knees than was decent, but it’s 30m 51s before they break out the sangria at a US archeologist’s home.
S05E04 - Turkdean, Gloucestershire.
On the search for an ever expanding Roman villa, the #TimeTeam stop for a period Roman feast accompanied by modern wine at the 32m 56s mark in this episode.
S05E03 - Orkney
Tony is a little dismissive of Orkney & it’s two bars, but he and the #TimeTeam are happy enough to rest up in one of them (the Ronaldsay Hotel?) and to crack a beer at the 29m 31s mark, in this otherwise Viking focused episode. Love the lad’s expression in the second, indoor pic.
S05E02 - Greylake, Somerset.
Looking for a route (in this case a prehistoric trackway through the Somerset Levels), the #TimeTeam stumble upon a pub at 14m 14s, and figure it would be impolite not to stop and slack their thirst. We’ve no idea who ordered the pint of orange juice.
S05E01 - Richmond, Surrey
The #TimeTeam take a break from arguing over Tudor walls at the site of the old palace, and crack open the wine on the riverbank at 32m 30s. Mind you, some mad old biddy drank neat perfume at 31m 59s. I’m not sure that counts though, given that she’s not a team member.
#arkeologi #TimeTeam Intressant avsnitt igår om hur långt tekniken har gått fram när det gäller markundersökningar via markradar och magnetiska avtryck. Det går att se mycket innan det grävs.

S04E07 (Special) - Much Wenlock.
5 years in, the #TimeTeam return to Much Wenlock in Shropshire, to recap their adventures thus far. A packed episode as a result, with wine in the Guildhall at an impressive 02m 03s, an unnamed (Yorkshire?) pub at 27m 16s, then celebrations from Phil at 48m 42s.
S04E06 - Netheravon, Wiltshire.
Technically a dry #TimeTeam episode (so 48m 09s for the record); but what’s this at 09m 47s? Has Mick managed to play on his injuries to cadge himself a beer? We also get our first (?) sighting of a knitted Mick doll at 42m 12s, as a bonus. No proof of beer though.
S04E05 - Malton, Yorkshire.
Searching for a lost medieval castle & a Jacobean house all on the same site, the #TimeTeam don’t find a pub, but they do manage to stop for a drink or two on the lawn of the local lodge house @ the 28m 57s mark. Even if Phil thinks he’s on #ForgedInFire, faith restored.
S04E04 - Govan, Glasgow.
Get a grip #TimeTeam! 48m 08s, and neither a pub nor a drink was seen. In Govan! In the mid ‘90s!! I’m pretty sure I could see a pub on the aerial photography!
S04E03 - Soho, Birmingham.
Another dry episode. What do the #TimeTeam think this is, a tv series about bloody archaeology?? I’ll tell you what we got - 48m 03s of DRY.
S04E02 - Launceston, Cornwall.
I don’t know how to account for it, but there is neither pub nor alcohol to be found in this 48m 32s #TimeTeam episode. Fair to say, my faith has been shaken quite severely by the lack. 😢
S04E01 - St Mary’s City, Maryland.
#TimeTeam starts Season 4 by heading to the US of A, which doesn’t exactly fill one with confidence when it comes to beer. Nevertheless, they manage to smuggle some bottled beer onto the dig at 45m 11s, with just 2 minutes to spare. What a savage sort of a place.
S03E06 - Preston St Mary, Suffolk.
Plenty of Roman finds, but no pub in this Suffolk-based episode, the last in Season Three. Still, a local farmer helps to break any suggestion of a drought by providing the #TimeTeam with wine in a set of period appropriate clay goblets at the 14m 20s mark.
The inimitable Phil Harding, Alice Roberts and Operation Nightingale take us back to the relative sanity of the Bronze Age (7 mins). #TimeTeam

S03E05 - Navan, Co. Armagh.
Not a pub, but rather a ceilidh at Tommy McRea’s house, and beers galore at the 30m 02s mark, as the #TimeTeam take a break from their search for Conchobar mac Nessa’s mysterious, third palace as referenced in the Táin Bó Cúailnge (The Cattle Raid of Cooley).
S03E04 - Teignmouth, Devon.
Since they were hunting for sunken Spanish treasure off the Devonshire coast, I guess having foreign rum aboard ship at 30m 22s makes sense. BUT, Mick then goes into a pub and … I can hardly say it … in a #TimeTeam first, he … (gulp) … d.o.e.s.n.t. h.a.v.e. a d.r.i.n.k.
S03E03 - Templecom, Somerset.
On the search for the Knights Templar in Somerset, not only is there no pub to be found, but Phil is reduced to brewing his own beer, and forcing it upon the poor, unwitting #TimeTeam at the 30m 00s mark in this episode.
S03E02 - Stanton Harcourt, Oxon.
The search for a wooly mammoth fails to turn up a pub, with the #TimeTeam crew reduced to plastic cups and a bbq supper at the 32m 19s mark. I’m also starting to think they missed a trick by not making Graphic Artist Sue Francis a recurring member of the team.
S03E01 - Boleigh, Cornwall
The search for a partially collapsed fougou (a Cornish tunnel store, basically), leads the #TimeTeam to the farmhouse kitchen at the 33m 45s mark, and a few much and well deserved needed bottles of wine.
S02E05 - Hylton, Sunderland
Digging be damned! The beers are being downed by the 15m 16s mark, and at last, after some nigh-on dry episodes, pub-drawn pints are back in vogue with the #TimeTeam, pictured at The Shipwrights, North Hylton. Mick’s on the white, rather than the red, this week. 🍷
S02E04 - Lambeth Palace, London
Now I know for a fact that Lambeth is full of pubs, because I’ve drank in a lot of them myself. Odd then that the #TimeTeam visit none of them, instead cracking open cans of beer outdoors at the 15m 57s mark in this episode. Had they already blown the S2 beer budget?
