In my day, it was a funny hat, a stripy sweater or at worst, strange facial hair.
Speaking of which... always being of the opinion that Mick Aston had access to some charity shop chain in Bristol that kept back his stripey jumpers for him, I was amazed on Saturday night to hear Tony Robinson reveal that female viewers actually send jumpers they have made to the programme for Mick to wear.
In the week of Live8, Fairtrade and all that, shouldn't this resource be made available to us all? Couldn't TimeTeam advertise the fact that you might have a local archaeologist who would be grateful for the gift of warm woolen items (especially woolen socks) and even suggest a range of patterns or designs. (How about the Rescue logo in black on a post-box red jumper?) Or how about 'I got this job through BAJR' in similar colours.

Does this mean that Mick Aston has a fan base? Yikes, that's scary, if not a little grotesque. Even more so when I think that people actually perpetrate those jumpers.

What did you think the jumpers made themselves? Crate Egg...

I had thought that they must have evolved or something. The fact that there is a conscious will to produce them scares me ... Oh the horror, the horror.

I always rather liked Mortimer Wheeler on telly in the 70's. Never let the facts get in the way of a good story...a sort of cross between Mick Aston and Terry Thomas.I also have a vague recolection of a channel four series called Down to Earth? It was a weekly round up of archaeological news from around the world.Or did I dream that?

There was a series in the 1970's that very occasionally gets repeated, where a bunch of people went and lived in an Iron Age roundhouse for a month (or something - does anyone remember what it was called?), to see what it was like. That was good fun - I seem to remember they ended up arguing a lot with each other and it all got a bit like the situation in Lord Of The Flies.

Living in the Past wasn't it? Much derided at the time in the profession, somewhat similar to how Time Team is these days.
There was another version, filmed recently at Castell Henllys which was even more of a car crash,I heard.

I remember this(from the dim and distant past) a piece of the programme when someone asked what they used as toilet paper, one of the men replied that he didn't wipe!
Oh the very thought......... no its just too bad!!

Deep-you never seen a poodle drag its butt across the grass? Why do you think the Iron Age peeps built nicely sloping ramparts?
