Time Team people

GSB Prospection

GSB Prospection is a partnership operated by Time Team's geophysics duo, John Gater and Chris Gaffney, who together have over 30 years' experience in archaeology. Their company has grown out of the first independent consultancy for geophysics in archaeology, established in 1986, to become the largest group of archaeological geophysicists in the UK.

Steve Shearn has been Time Team's sound engineer since the first programme. His company, SAS VR, provides the technical facilities for Time Team programmes, and he has also supplied still photographs, QuickTime VR 360-degree 'spinning movies' and streaming video for the Time Team website.

Other Time Team-related sites

Time Team Links
www.timeteamlinks.co.uk/
Extensive but no longer regularly updated website providing links to all kinds of Time Team-related websites and news items.

Grime Team
www.grimeteam.co.uk/
Grime Team is a spoof of Time Team. The first video was made in 2000 by a group of Time Team fans; a second followed and then a third, in which you can find out how a Norwegian Blue can help locate a missing mansion, see Phil with his head in a bucket, discover why Victor doesn't like the rain and learn why Mick is so scared of cattle. Details of the videos, along with Grime Team t-shirts can be found on the website. 'It's very flattering that Dead Ringers do us but they don't get it. You get it, you know what to take the p*ss out of!' Tony Robinson. Highly recommended.

Our Past History
http://ourpasthistory.com/
Extensive, well-produced website run by Time Team enthusiast Corinne Mills. The website includes a comprehensive guide to responsible metal detecting; an image gallery containing more than 5,500 images taken in the UK and abroad of locations, places of interest and artefacts; and information and photo galleries of Time Team excavations and Time Team Forum Friends trips. It is also home to an unofficial Time Team discussion forum.

Warpo's Unofficial Time Team site
www.timeteam.k1z.com/
A huge amount of work is put into this website, which contains a wide and continually expanding range of material about Time Team, its programmes and personalities. It includes original interviews with Time Team regulars and other material that will be of interest to fans of the programme. There is also a discussion forum. A simple registration process is necessary to obtain access, which is well worth it.

There are also interviews and other features with Phil Harding, Carenza Lewis, illustrator Victor Ambrus and 3D graphics artist Raysan Al-Kubaisi.

Time Team Forum Friends

The Time Team Forum is the oldest of Channel 4's forums, having started life in 1997 for what was originally intended to be just a few days to accompany that year's Time Team Live. Since then, it has grown into an ever-evolving online community, with many friendships – and even the occasional marriage! – originating there.

A number of forum users have got together either online or in person to set up groups, meetings, visits and other activities. You can read about some of these in the postings on the forum or on the websites listed here. These have no formal connection with either Channel 4 or Time Team, who are not responsible for their activities or the content of any associated websites.
