Time Team

Storyline

This British series dates back to 1994, but it goes back even further -- millions of years in some cases -- as a team of specialists dig deep to uncover as much as they can in three days about a U.K. site's archaeology and history. Actor Tony Robinson is the show's host (or "presenter," as they say in Britain) and unofficial translator, explaining to viewers in layman's terms what the experts come across during the dig.
