On trying to think where I should start, I figured that the beginning would be a good idea. I used to enjoy history immensely at school and I can’t remember why I chose not to pursue it! I’m not sure I could admit to having been very academic in my ‘youth’, I enjoyed the company…Continue…

Highlight for us, was meeting the team at the live dig in Canterbury. Think my interest developed from my love of history during my school days. Have had the notion to participate…Continue…

I have been a fan of Time Team from the very first programme, and have not missed one since. My archaeological experience is, however, virtually nil – I am very much the armchair researcher. At college I was in the arch.soc. and I have the dubious honour of having found a post hole on one…Continue…

I’ve been interested in history for over 20 years through my hobby of table top wargaming. About 10 years ago I volunteered to become a Property Guide at a local (Council owned) farm complex, with a history dating from the Domesday through to the present day, and the research I did – generated by the…Continue…

guess you could call me a long-time poster, or “oldie” of the forum. I’ve been posting since the forum first opened on the Channel 4 web-site. I also used to run the TTFF homepage but had to give it up due to the pressures of work early in 2000. I am a 25 years old…Continue…
