Editorial Reviews
The original U.K. science-reality serie. Go along as archaeologists dig up the past
"Compelling history" —The Daily Telegraph (U.K.)
"Brilliantly executed"—The Observer (U.K.)
In this popular and long-running reality series, presenter Tony Robinson (Blackadder) travels across Britain to unearth secrets from the nation’s rich history. Accompanying Robinson are the Time Team, an eclectic band of archaeologists, historians, surveyors, geophysicists, and other experts, who help him sift through the evidence and piece together the past. With just three days at each site to complete their excavations, they race against time to reveal Britain’s buried history.
In these 12 episodes, the Time Team set to work on sites from the era of the Roman occupation in the first centuries CE. From a mysterious cluster of stones in London’s Greenwich Park to a vast ancient complex beneath a Cotswold field, the crew digs deep to solve some of Roman Britain’s enduring mysteries.
British actor, comedian, and history enthusiast Tony Robinson starred on the classic period comedy Blackadder and has presented numerous documentary programs including The Worst Jobs in History and The Real Da Vinci Code.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
However, I wish this set had more digs from Season 10 and earlier. Some of the wonderful chemistry between the early cast members is lost by the time the show started winding down. It's also a shame that Mick Aston isn't featured much in this set -- but again, that's because the episodes they chose for this set are mostly from the later seasons, when Mick wasn't participating in the Roman digs.
Anyway, if you like archaeology, Britain, and/or Roman times, this set is well worth your time and money.
I watch these over and over. My husband asked is the a backyard in Britain they haven't dug up yet?.

"TIME TEAM: UNEARTHING THE ROMA" contains episodes of the series exploring the Roman occupation of Britain. Fascinating stuff. And you never know what they're going to find when they start to dig. Searching for Roman ruins has led to explorations of medieval manors and castles, Bronze Age roundhouses, Tudor palaces, WW II earthworks and airplanes - sometimes all on the same episode. Each episode unearths special treasures, sometimes expected, sometimes not. That's part of the series' charm and enduring fascination for viewers. You literally never know what's going to "turn up". The tag line of the show is "Let's put in another trench!" - even if it's 4 p.m. on the last day. They are relentless in their attempts to solve the problem/question of the week.
The camaraderie and great working relationships of archaeologists Mick Ashton, Phil Harding, Helen Geake, Stewart Ainsworthy and other specialists, makes history painless to absorb. They do it with humour, style and a superb depth and breadth of knowledge and experience. The program's host is actor Tony Robinson, best known to North American audiences as Baldrick on the "Blackadder" TV series, but also a gifted amateur archaeologist: he is the glue that holds the show together.
"TIME TIME: UNEARTHING THE ROMA" is a fabulous first installment of "Time Team" on DVD for home viewing. Can't wait for the next one! Let's hope it's released soon.
