Time team. That shit was amazing. It went on for like 20+ years and EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. it was fascinating. The closest thing we have now is josh gates’ expedition unknown, which is really hit and miss. Recently it’s been so picky about things they’re likely to hit on that some seasons only have 4-6 episodes. He tries to make the finds to be to big. Time team found all kinds of fantastic things because they were just looking for historical significance, not mountains of treasure. But they always found treasures of some kind. That was a really great, fascinating show.
I feel like this about another C4 program of that era - Grand Designs.
Gone on for years now, but it just seeing how these people underestimate what they are getting into and will then just throw extra fuel on the pressure fire “just started renovating this massive listed barn that’s 90% falling down and has no actual foundations, time to have a baby! Oh and you’re also self employed and going to manage the project yourself and do some of the building yourself you say?”
"To sum it up, how financially crippled are you and how many mortgages do you now have 😂 " .
Kevin McCloud is basically taking the piss out of you for the whole show.
Yeah, but guess what? They found a wall! It always felt so much better than like supernatural shows where they’re like “we totally found evidence” yeah, sure ya did. “No, we did, see this spec of dust? That’s a ghost”. Alright, but did ya find a floor or nails? Show me the gpr.

I’m also a really big fan of top gear.

It will be weird when it’s not on anymore.
Now we’re going down to the bottom field where Barry and Lucia believe they’ve found a wall.
Yeah, but guess what? They found a wall! It always felt so much better than like supernatural shows where they’re like “we totally found evidence” yeah, sure ya did. “No, we did, see this spec of dust? That’s a ghost”. Alright, but did ya find a floor or nails? Show me the gpr.
It’s still going!
Time team?!? Or top gear? Cause I’ve seen the new top gear and it’s… Meh.
No, new Time Team!
It’s not the original crew (mostly) but still really good.
Seriously? I hadn’t seen anything newer than 2014 or so! Is it exclusively BBC? Cause usually I saw it on random public access and Amazon.

Time Team was for Channel 4, but since they cancelled it they’ve done occasional privateer episodes on YouTube.
Time team was Channel 4. Not sure how they sell it abroad.
