replies: text: Greetings, Richard. Unfortunately, since History International stopped broadcasting the show, I don't know of ANY channel in America carrying Time Team this year. But if you're speaking of a different area (Canada or Australia), I fear my information may not help. Justin Eiler 23:47, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Hi! This year I'm building articles around the series on Swedish language Wikipedia. It's been showing extensively on cable TV available in Sweden (and subtitled in Swedish) for at least a decade. Discovery Channel, Discovery Civilization/World, Viasat History, Kanal 9 and TV10 are the channels I know of. During summer of 2013 the last three ones have been airing the show concurrently (and almost daily), all broadcasting different seasons. Right now (September 2013), only Viasat History and Kanal 9 air the show (on a daily basis).--Paracel63 (talk) 12:23, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Availability outside the UK? 

message: I've just become aware of a series called "Time Team Extra" and know of at least two episodes done in 1998, where Robin Bush the historian would discuss the week's previous dig and with the help of guest historians help to flesh out the historical period that they thought the artifacts represented, etc.
The two episodes I know of are: Time Team Extra, 1998 #01 - Richmond, Surrey, and Time Team Extra, 1998 #03 - Orkney, Scotland.
I think these not only should be added to the list, but perhaps a short section should be added to explain the format, etc... but as I have only seen these two episodes, I don't feel I personally have enough info to do a proper job of it. Jafafa Hots 19:57, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Ok, just found out that there were a total of eight Time Team Extra programs done, but I have no list. Presumably, they all correspond with the 1998 Time Team shows. Jafafa Hots 20:16, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Time Team Extra

message: I almost edited out a "typo", a seemingly stray number that appreared in the list before a show - then I noticed that there were several like that, and all Time Team Live shows. I am guessing that that uis meant to represent how many short live segments were aired over the course of the weekend, but that isn't clear. If anyone can state affirmatively that that is what they represent, then they (or I) can make a minor format change to make that more clear.... if they do NOT represent that, or nobody shows up to say so, should we just delete them? Jafafa Hots 09:49, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: ok, with Guinnog's edit I see that it was just a psan of dates in each case that was not being rendered properly, an artifact of someone having linkified the dates, etc. Jafafa Hots 05:01, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

:I have no opinion on whether to merge or not, but Stephenb has put merge tags on List of Time Team special episodes, List of Time Team Live episodes and List of Time Team Extra episodes, proposing to merge them to List of Time Team episodes.    If you click on "discuss" on the merge tags, it redirects discussion to Talk:List of Time Team episodes, so I suggest that discussion of the merge take place there, to keep discussion in one place. --Coppertwig (talk) 03:50, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: I like the table, it's much easier to read. However, I also think it probably needs its own article, (see unsigned suggestion above which i agree with)Ged UK (talk) 08:39, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

i will start to work on doign it all as table format and then make there own articles after that--andrewcrawford 11:23, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

text: I'm not sure all of the individual "series" need their own articles, so I have tagged some of them with  as they could easily be listed in a single article.  The articles also needed an introduction (I have provided a very simple introduction, but someone might like to expand) and category.  I have also changed the capitalization of the article names, since "episodes" should not have been "Episodes". Stephenb (Talk) 18:06, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  New table format for episode listing 

message: I've just looked at this article, and its sub-articles, and am going to try and tidy them this weekend. I think that most the episode pages should all be on page, after all its the same programme just spin-offs. If it gets too large then we can split it in other ways (ie have two pages, say 1994-2002 and 2002-present). I will also use the standard  template. I also think that the 1991 series Time Signs should be regarded as a seperate programme, and while mentioned here, not counted as part of Time Team nor be on the episode list, as it aired before and is a complete seperate programme. I will create an article for Time Signs this weekend. Let me know if you any problems with this. Thanks.--UpDown (talk) 09:04, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: i dnt see any problems with that as long as the data isnt lost, what template are you meaning btw? and will you use the current table format which is a lot clearer  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Andrewcrawford (talk • contribs) 10:39, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Data shouldn't be lost, unless its trivial data. I intend to use the most widespread episode list template, as seen here Solo (TV series)#Series One (1981) (where I recently added it). Different fields can be added to this, for example see The Simpsons (season 8) (a featured list). --UpDown (talk) 17:56, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah that looks fine to me but can you keep the coloums Achology type and location as they are important information regarding hte epsiodes and means ti easier to read--andrewcrawford 19:00, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

text: Having looked into this further, I am now thinking that perhaps History Hunters, Time Team Digs and Time Team Extra have their own articles, with episodes listed on that article (no need for episode list article with only 8 episodes). They appear to be fairly distinct programmes, with different presenters (in the case of Extra) and duration (Extra again). Let me know if any has any objections...--UpDown (talk) 14:12, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: as long as the information is not lost a lot of people call for new articles to be deleted, i wouldnt want to see the information lost  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Andrewcrawford (talk • contribs) 17:57, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: The "archology type/period coloum" is not needed as this information is in the summary section. I don't think anyone would call for these articles to be deleted, as long I source them well. Articles that avoid others being too long are often welcome. --UpDown (talk) 18:52, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: I'm not certain, but I'm fairly sure early on they explained it. They're all (well, mostly, I think some may have retired by now) working archeologists, and they do the Time Team stuff in 'spare' time, hence only three days. GedUK  11:55, 4 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: GedUK  - Perhaps that was the stated reason, but it seems to me that the artificial three day limit was meant to create drama - 'a 'beat the clock', 'edge of your seat', 'will they or won't they?' scenario. I find it annoying myself. If more time is needed to answer their questions, then they should have done it, in my opinion. Will the effort to revive the series maintain that limit?

message: Series 19 started showing yesterday (22nd January 2012).  I've created a basic page for series 19 by copying the layout from the series 18 page and adjusting everything I could see... I'm not sure if people had a better tool or method for doing this, if so please feel free to delete/edit as necessary.
I could only find information on the first two episodes on channel4's website so that's all I've included so far.  I used the brief introductory sentence from the channel4 description as the brief summary - is that OK or is that considered a copyvio?
I also couldn't find a definitive source of episode numbers so just started from the last number I could find (242 from November's special on Brunel) and increased from there.  Again, if that's not correct please fix!

This article may need update for the simple fact.
That biography of Ambrus (see also Talk: Victor Ambrus#Time Team needs update?) will benefit from a visit by someone who knows the website well enough to provide some details. Is there somewhere a History that covers personnel? Or an effective Search that turns up information about his past participation? --P64 (talk) 18:19, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

message: Dear Sirs
My name is Donald Deeley, and I worked at Warwick Castle, in the late '80s.  I lived in Warwick from the age of 5'ish, and grew-up on the Forbes Estate.  During this time I, and several of my 'mates' on the aforementioned estate used too do what boys tend to do (get upto mischief, etc)!  During this time, we found the entrance too a tunnel at Guys Cliffe House (near too the Saxon Mill Hostelry)!  We entered it, and proceeded along 'it' - in the general direction of towards Warwick Square - only too find our way blocked by a locked metal-gate!
Anyway some years later, I began employment at Warwick Castle - at the time the Curator was Mr Paul Barker, and he used too regale all with different stories of the Castle, and more notably 'it's' escape-tunnels (were it looking likely too 'fall', etc)!  I had all-bar forgotten about these stories until I noticed an Internet Site ("Warwick tunnels myth buster"), and informed someone they were incorrect with 'something' they had posted!  From thence-forth I was dragged into the ongoing debate about 'said tunnels'.
Mr Barker, whilst I worked at the Castle told me off several 'escape tunnels' going from various of the Towers....one down alongside Hampton Road too (what is now) the Bypass Island, one too St Mary's Church - with a branch-off that went down too Guy's Cliff House (which in turn had a Spur off too the Saxon Mill), and one too the "Rose Gardens" - across the lane leading down from the Castles main gate too the river!  He did mention others, as well, but unfortunately I was involved in a RTA back in 1989 and can't recall 'things' as well as I once did!
I believe this would make for a fascinating-episode of Time Team - if you were to come and explore!
Please let me know your response - and I will thus inform the other 'Warwick tunnels myth busters' members of such!
Thanking you in anticipation of your response
