Digging Up The Neighbours - Time Team

'Time Team' is another one of those Sunday afternoon programmes which you've never quite seen a full episode of, don't particularly dislike but have no desire to see from start through to finish. Even though 'thetvreviewguy' enjoys a bit of history, he doesn't quite dig 'Time Team'. Whether it's the all round nerdiness of Beardy Archaeologists with their 'geo-phys' kits or the constant muck and rain, it's definitely an acquired taste. Yet, like 'Last of the Summer Wine', the series has been on for what seems like forever. Tony Robinson is, well, amiable, and the edition with James 'Jim' Cameron is a hoot as Tony chronicles the Big Ego's Titanic dives. There's something reassuring about its' presence on our TV; like newspapers, and AM/MW Radio, we won't really notice it till it's gone. Okay, 'thetvreviewguy' probably remembers the archaeology society as on of the less cool ones in college but he doesn't begrudge these preoccupied diggers their fifteen minutes of fame. Ideal viewing when half asleep on a drizzly day.
