       | Time team is brilliant.

       | To me its an ocean of calm. No conflict, a bit of tongue in
       | cheek, just fun.
       | 
       | It also introduced me to 3d design. (I downloaded blender in 1999
       | or there abouts). long story short, I ended up in the VFX
       | industry.
       | 
       | I have recently joined a local archaeology group, so I've come
       | round full circle.

       | Time team have an active group on facebook, and are currently
       | raising funds to re-start shooting.
       | 
       | They also hold a live Q&A after re-release on of an episode on
       | youtube

       | Remarkable series. US folks can get most of episodes on Amazon
       | Prime Video (the gaps can be filled by YouTube). And it might
       | return, thanks to Patreon:

       | The 3-day time limit makes the show seem like an archaeology
       | equivalent of a hackathon. Glad to read in the posted article
       | that only 5 of the excavated sites remain unpublished (due to
       | much offscreen work and monies extending past the 3-day horizon)

       | It was a truly great program. I remember the initial
       | controversies but the suspicions from the trade proved unfounded.
       | A lot of great science and archaeology was done or caused by TT.
       | Read some of the comments in the article - a lot of people loved
       | it and many are asking for advice on how to do a similar job
       | around the world.
