    Notice how Robin immediately introduces Dawn as Dr. Hadley, making it clear she is his colleague, not his assistant.

    I love how you can easily date a Time Team episode by the length of Tony's hair, the bushyness of Phil's beard and the darkness of John's glasses.

    My how young they all are, we have all gained some years but I still love this group of people and the Time Team family! Tony still gives it to them.

    Tony and Mick were so adorable together this episode…god I miss Mick….
  • I love seeing view of fields from overhead...it's amazing how relatively easy it is to see structures, roads, etc. from there.
  • I can imagine many small villages disappeared once the Black Plague ran its course, there were no survivors.

    😊I'm glad you had them put the fish in the river before they died!
  • Love Mick's sweaters every episode, especially the really colorful striped one this episode. I miss him a lot bless his soul
  • Oooooh!!...........................There is nothing more that Mick and Stewart likes than a good collection of 'Lumps and Bumps'.
  • @timtaylor8406
    Having been a student at Durham I can understand why this highly exposed village was abandoned...it's just too cold and windy!
  • Medieval village mysteriously abandoned in the 14th century... Black Death, anyone?
  • These are "Time Travel Time Team" Exciting to see Phil looking so very young. Everyone else seemed to remain the same for 20 years, what's that secret?
  • Yet another TT that I haven’t seen yet! Happy day!
