Francis is so dramatic. Imagine him in a classroom 😊
-
I don't know why everybody's so mean to poor Francis. He's one of the only archeologists willing to put a theory out there without fear of being wrong. So what if he's all about rituals, if that's what interests him. I find his enthusiasm infectious.
-
Stewart is a genius.
-
I just adore the look on Tony’s face when the wind blows Phils hat off, at the very beginning!😀💕

One of my ancesters went from Co. Ulster to Campbelltown. He was a Stewart who married into the Campbell clan. I still have lots of research to do. Exciting! Of course this was a few thousand years after this.

I love when the team does pre history

Thanks so much for posting.

The plight of modern man - we've forgotten stuff our grandfather's generation all took for granted. Like the prairie farmer's common practice of running ropes from house to barn to woodshed in the winter, so that chores could still be done in blizzards. Cause the cows still have to be milked y'know.

Just found this channel, love all the history and people. From US. Great stuff.
-
How good documentaries make their point: At 10:36 Phil tells Tony "It's as plain as the nose on your face", and the camera immediately focuses on Tony's nose.
-
Best closing comments of any Time Team episode, I guess the nice way to put it is that Francis has the richest imagination of all of the dig leaders.

With much being said about Francis... I had a professor in college who taught Geology. He and Francis are so much alike its scary. VERY enthusiastic about their subject, not afraid to make suppositions about how or why things happened (even when others heartily disagree) and very willing to get their hands dirty along with the others. I can't help but like Francis because he reminds me so much of my old professor. Dr. Ed ,as we called him, made a very boring subject at 8 on Monday a delight to study.

OMG! Ha ha ha! "While John throws his Geophys toys out of the pram". Priceless! Hahaha!!!!
-
I have little interest in this particular period, but I love how earnest and passionate Francis is. About the site: I am so, so glad I never had a job that forced me to work in such conditions. And I live in Canada. About how livable a site such as this would have been: again, I live in Canada. There have been people, the Inuit, who have lived in more difficult conditions for thousands of years, so of course people did live on that promontory, unlike what some commenters argued.

My forebears are from Ireland ... this was fascinating. Thank you from South Africa 🇿🇦
-
Something tells me when John gets elderly he'll have a walker with a geophys unit mounted on it, lol.
-
“While John throws his geophysical toys out of the pram”. Hahahahaha hahahahahaha
-
Stewart is the man, might as well leave geofizz at home!

'faffing' about.. what a funny and great word.. I get a kick outa listening to them.. expressing their differences.. coming together to agree to disagree.. it's refreshing and fun and heartening!! I'm thinking now of the foot wrestling, Mr Ainsworth knocked backwards in his chair by Mr Gator, one sock on and one sock off, legs hanging over the chair.. =)
