TIME TEAM: THE TEAM'S FAVORITE DIGS [DVD]

The A/V is excellent, which was such a nice change from watching these episodes online. Good closed captioning as well for those of us who sometimes can't make out what the British accent just said. The episodes chosen were all good ones. I really wish that they'd put out more of these for those of us in North America. I would buy them!

Really absorbing stuff, but I sometimes feel that the 3-day limit, while making for a 'cracking good' pace, can make for some perhaps rushed conclusions from the small amount of findings. I seems, though, that these guys know their stuff, and their (impressive) pedigrees will allow them that academic license. Phil Hastings is a spectacularly colorful character, and seems to me the most intuitive and knowledgeable of the bunch, practical and almost always right, even if though when in the waning moments of the program (a little 'deus ex machina' at times). I'd bet he's even more colorful off camera, in the pub, after a few 'points'. What you DONT see much of, but need to appreciate, is the pure scut work they have the minions working on in the background, logging, recording, drawing, photographing, and, finally, actually replacing all of that dirt, stone, and turf back EXACTLY where they found it.

I really like the show it departs from so many general television reality clones. But in fact it is a reality show with minimal actual results like the ghost hunters, Bigfoot hunter, and so many more. What happens to close off the dig's, do they really give up at three days, and that's begs the question, why only three days? Overall I still find the show entertaining and somewhat educational.

Watched the show for years on BBC America. This series has some shows that I didn't remember seeing and they are great. Always interesting to see what the team finds - or, in some cases, doesn't find. It's also fun to see Mick, who passed away last year, in action as the lead archaeologist and the rest of the crew in fine form. If you like archaeology with a bit of humor then this is a reality show for you.

I've become a Time Team junkie. I love the passion and dedication of the team and how they build the picture of history so that even a field strewn with what looks like little more than rubble takes form and reveals itself and it's history. It's a national treasure. I wish such study existed here in the US.

Interesting people with compatible personalities expose the history of Britain through archeology and have fun while doing it. I wish I could be present at such a dig. I wish all the episodes were available on Region 1 DVD. I'd buy them all.

I just love Time Team and this doesn't disappoint!!

Sets 1-9 are the "best of" Time Team, most of my favorites are in the collection. I do enjoy seeing what finds and ancient buildings but I love the experimental archeology.I watch these over and over. My husband asked is the a backyard in Britain they haven't dug up yet?.

I love this show. It is entertaining and informative and where else could you get so close to this type of experience without being an archaeologist yourself. My hands down favourite on this DVD is the two part dig at Nevis, partly because it is very clear that without this type of work so much history and heartbreaking human experiences will be lost forever. Second reason: Stewart Ainsworth's hat. I own "Unearthing the Roman Invasion" as well and appreciate how much deductive work and sweat goes into the digs each time I watch it. And the Team have just 3 days to figure it all out. I know there are more DVDs available in Britain and sincerely hope they become available here, particularly since this series has been cancelled. Congrats to all involved in this series. My deepest regret to hear of the passing of Mick Aston.

I only found Time Team a few years ago, so these are all new to me. And they are great! If you love Time Team, this collection is an absolute must-have.

I love the show.Very educational and entertaining. Wish they would release the whole program in DVD (all years..an all of the specials)

Quite enjoyed this - I liked seeing how archaeology is done. I also enjoyed the Roman Time Team DVD, and would like to see more.

I ordered it and it arrived with only 1 DVD, (instead of 3), containing the last few episodes, NOT all. I returned it, and have never seen a replacement or a refund. Beware!!
