@buchanan.todayS11E11 - Ipswich, Suffolk
Back-garden archaeology is all well and good (in this instance, the #TimeTeam are in search of a Roman villa) but what about back-garden drinking? It was looking unlikely (and S11 has form in that regard), but we were saved by a couple of cans of Stella Artois at 32m 18s.
@buchanan.todayS11E10 - Nassington, Northamptonshire
The #TimeTeam dig up the floor of a posh old biddy’s living room in search of King Cnut’s hall; a man makes awful noises with a series of reeds, and we finally get a drink at 46m 27s, with just 38 seconds left on the sundial.
@buchanan.todayS11E09 - Wittenham Clumps, Oxfordshire
Digging in and around an Iron Age hill fort, the #TimeTeam find themselves up against a colony of great crested newts, which have legal protection, and hinder the dig no end. No newts is good newts, but no “pissed-as-a” either - 47m 5s of … sober-as-a-newt?
@buchanan.todayS11E08 - Goldcliffe, Severn Estuary
The #TimeTeam are up to their oxters in mud, digging for Mesolithic relics on the shore of the Severn estuary, but for all that it’s a water-logged task, we’ve to wait until the mock feast at 46m 11s to find any grog. It’s all wet feet and dry throats otherwise.
@buchanan.todayS1107 - Oakamoor, Staffordshire
Searching for both an Elizabethan and a medieval furnace, the #TimeTeam dig up a family garden, but while they might well have found the remains of a bloomery, there’s no blooming drink in the whole 47m 13s episode. Where have all the pints and pubs gone??
@buchanan.todayI confess, when the cameras zoomed in on this find, I thought it was a carved head. It turned out that was just a random, unremarkable rock, and the find was a tiny thing beside it. Come on, I can’t be the only one who sees the face of a #WeepingAngel, surely? We missed a #TimeTeam #DrWho crossover!
@buchanan.todayS11E06 - Green Island, Dorset
Searching for an Iron Age trading centre on a small island in the middle of what’s now Poole Harbour, the #TimeTeam find a picnicking family with grog at 25m 19s, and wine at 30m 3s, but none of the *team* get a drink in the whole 46m 55s episode. Most unsatisfactory.
@buchanan.todayS11E05 - Syndale, Kent
The #TimeTeam are on the hunt for what might have been the first Roman fort built in Britain, but it’s far from a simple dig. They *talk* about needing a drink at 32m 57s, but nary a fort, flagon nor flask has been found by the 47m 1s conclusion of this otherwise dry episode.
@buchanan.todayS11E04 - South Carlton, Lincolnshire
The demon drink is banished from another episode in its entirety, as the #TimeTeam fail to dig up even the remnants of a pint pot while searching for Anglo-Saxon burials in Lincolnshire. 47m 6s of blisteringly dry and entirely inexplicable abstinence.
@mungy.bsky.socialIm new to Lidar maps, but im wondering what this is and how i can find out if its ever been recorded?
@buchanan.todayS11E03 - Loch Migdale, Scotland
On a rare venture north of the Antonine Wall, the #TimeTeam dig for a variety of Stone Age artefacts on the banks of Loch Migdale, near Bonar Bridge in Sutherland. There’s water galore, but no drink until Tony’s whisky bottle appears at 43m 38s.
