thanks, I’ll have a look later.

I’m still working my way through the early seasons of Time Team.

What was his untimely death? Wiki is unclear, heart attack?

Wanted to get away from Baldrick…

And from wiki, he obviously liked to love em and leave em.

Presumably another stroke.

I think more unexpected. Presumably heart attack or stroke or something like that which takes people suddenly. I think his family wanted to keep it all private.

We all have to go, a good stroke is probably the best way. I understand his concerns, TV follows money and is not that far away from employing bikini girls to excavate sites.

Yeah. Even though the female co-host they employed had a degree in archaeology. But it was the old crew specialists getting eased out that seemed to be the major problem.

Shameful secret,I do it, I love time team but also like the titty shots. They know they do.

Alice is my favourite. I’d go with Helen or Jenni, but I’d be thinking of Alice.

As long as the OP still stands, i don’t think the rest of the thread is much calling for discussion.

I think the episodes I really like most are Roman Villas with mosaic floors, and the recovery of crashed WW2 aircraft.
