List of episodes
This is a list of Time Team Time Team format, by revisiting previous sites to do a follow-up story; travelling outside the UK to excavate other sites of interest; chronicling digs overseen by other organisations; or using information gleaned from other Time Team episodes to draw a more complete picture of ordinary life during a particular historical era. Other specials may focus on a dig with a particular holiday theme; a more complex excavation over a longer period than the standard three days; or a visit to a particularly famous historical site.
Most shows fit within a 1-hour time-slot (approx. 46–49 minutes of content), although some (e.g. episodes 3, 9, 26, 33, 35, 36) are longer at 1.25 hours of content, and some (i.e. episode 24) at 1.75 hours. Regular contributors include: presenter Tony Robinson ; archaeologists Mick Aston , Phil Harding , Carenza Lewis , Helen Geake ; historians Francis Pryor ; Robin Bush , Guy de la Bedoyere , Sam Newton, Alex Langlands ; illustrator Victor Ambrus ; landscape investigator Stewart Ainsworth ; geophysics John Gater , Chris Gaffney ; surveyor Henry Chapman; and, Roman specialist Mark Corney.
