Behind the titles at Castleford

Here's a quick round-up of a few of the behind-the-scenes crew at Castleford, some of whose names you may recognise from the Time Team titles.

Name: George Pagliero
Production title: Researcher
Description: This is the second series for George. His job as a researcher involves checking out all of the work that has previously been done in the area of a Time Team excavation. That includes the sites and monuments records, archaeological reports and archives by archaeological units. He also gets involved in reconnaissance trips to sites before the whole production team arrive.

Name: Garry Owen
Production title: Sparks
Description: Garry has worked with Time Team for years. He's the main electrician on the shoots and brings with him a van stuffed to the roof with lighting rigs, colour films, cables and scaffolding. You may have seen his van driving along with the tyres rubbing under the wheel arches.

Name: Raysan Al-Kubaisi
Production title: Graphics
Description: Raysan works closely with Stewart Ainsworth and the specialists that appear on the programme. He's responsible for producing those amazing computer reconstructions, uses a monster computer, and is a regular fixture in the incident room. When not on recording shoots he's busy putting things together in post production.

Name: Jamie Wiggins
Production title: Unit Manager
Description: A long-standing member of the team, Jamie has covered lots of recordings and was particularly popular on last year's live broadcast as attending viewers shouted his name over the security barriers.
