Can you dig it? not if you're a 'Time Team' fan
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Well, I hope my old Anglo Saxon studies tutor is happy. I remember that in more than one of his lectures he reared up to his full height (considerable, given the worn leather bush hat he used to sport) to rant about the TV show Time Team.
He wasn't a fan of the team's cut'*'run archaeological style and he wasn't convinced that Tony and co. gave full credit to academics who'd worked on certain sites (namely his).
Now that the 20-year-old show has been cancelled by Channel 4, he's probably waving his brush in glee. I'm heartbroken, though. I love a bit of 'Team and its speedy approach to digging up ancient items as well as its GeoPhys machines that never seemed to find anything. Still, with two-decade's worth of programmes to rerun, I'll still get me fix... and no doubt my old prof will still be getting his artifacts in a twist.
