Time Team S16-E06 The Trouble with Temples: Friar's Wash, Hertfordshire

After reading quite a few comments, I didn't find any that mentioned this episode's clever title, "The Trouble With Temples", that I think was a play on the famous Star Trek episode, " The Trouble with Tribbles ", in which the cute tribble creature(s) they brought on board kept multiplying.

To those critical of the banter between the hosts of the show, its the lightheartedness that makes watching it so engaging. They've opened up the interest in archaeology ten fold im sure and that was the main goal of the show upon its start.

Stewart really needs his own TV series. "Walking around Britain with Stewart" .

Francis Pryor must have been in heaven in this episode. All that ritual!

I dig Stewart. He quietly does his thing. Later, when everyone is arguing, he comes up and says, "Take a look at this", and he's got it! He's the Landscape Whisperer.

When you think of all the Episodes in the rain and the cold and the mud, and sometimes with little or nothing to show after three days work, the Team really deserved an Episode like this.

This is one of my all-time favorite episodes. The lighthearted banter and respectful disagreements make everything intriguing. It makes me wish I'd grabbed the opportunity to take a college course in archaeology. I also like the way Ian Powlesland handles the digger so delicately.

Tony's face is priceless when they insist a circle is rectangular. :)

We, in Britain, should be very proud of Time Team. There is no other country in the world that has any TV program that can compare with it. Hence the British public are far more aware of our history and heritage than virtually any other country. Bravo Time Team.

An absolutely stunning episode. I am so happy for the Brits and their efforts to find, document, and preserve their history. Congratulations Time Team!

"Oh arr, Tony, there's gonna be a temple 'ear." Love this show.

Once again the Brits shows the world how to make entertaining TV! Recently found this show and I am addicted. 10:40 Phil 😂❤

It is incredible how often Stewart is right after doing his landscape calculations and using a simple ruler to draw a straight line, despite what all the high tech Geophysics and highly qualified archaeologists say to the contrary ! He was definitely an extremely valuable member of the team and it was a pity that he didn't participate in many of the later excavations and episodes for some reason. Does anybody know why he stopped being a member of Time Team's scientific experts ? I for one really missed his incredibly interesting input on these excavations. 😭

For once, even Dr. Pryor's eternal enthusiasm was exceeded by the actual wealth and complexity of a site! Kudos to Francis, Phil, John, Stewart, Helen, Guy, Tony, and the entire Time Team for an extraordinary discovery!

"It's a bit like buses isn't it - you don't find any temples for several digs and then four come along at once." That's what someone should have said!

I love all the bickering. You can tell that it's good-natured and it makes for great TV. What a great show.

Im sorry but I can't get enough of this show!! I've subscribed to this and one other channel that puts out these shows. I've always wanted to be an archaeologist. I love it! And the people on here!!

One of my favorite things about Time Team is that you see so many different parts of Britain.

Time Team and all the Characters are a National Treasure. What a great show, each person on it a gem!

Reijer, I’m watching the entire ouvre from s1e1 through s18. Thank you for posting and for posting in order. This has saved my sanity in times chaos. (Ok, I cannot stand 19 and 20, but that’s on me.)
