Hello Helen and Martin!
Great podcast. Interesting insights.
Thanks to all involved with the podcast. It is a great way to start my day.
This Podcast idea really works.
Keep it going.
I'm loving Time Team's 2nd innings ❤
I lived in a flat in an old Victorian town house in the 1980s. In the loft were casts of chompers and denture moulds, with surnames scratched in, from the 1890s.
Also still very much visible, the old pull chord system for summoning servants … in incredibly good condition (there was no visible sign in what had been the principal rooms on the ground and first floors.
The original slate roof would doubtless have interested students of knackered slate roofs, especially those interested on precisely why they leak like sieves!!
Great podcast today! I'm loving the buildings guy lol. Mick loved buildings too! I remember before Time Team he and Phil had another little show with a couple episodes. Mick went to buildings on those that i saw. Made me get interested in old buildings. Decades ago lol
These podcasts are beyond awesome.
Having read many (perhaps most) of the reports that were done by Wessex Archaeology for the original show, I agree in the quality of them. They are very thorough and well done. It's also interesting in that, often they will clarify something that was proposed during the show, and/or give a final evaluation that sometimes contradicts what was theorized during the dig. Adding to that, a lot of questions that were left unanswered in the show are answered in the reports. Great show Martyn, Helen.
Great podcast! Can't wait for the Christmas quiz!
Thank you for such a great podcast. A true accomplishment on any scale.
