I have mixed feelings about TT and some of my negative feelings relate to how they deal with human remains. I worked for them long ago on a site producing late Saxon burials. Staff were rushing to remove these using very poor technique and not allowing me to record them properly. When I complained I was told by the television director that "we were not doing archaeology, we were making a TV programme".
As regards MoLAS technique I also worked a Spitalfields, and the system worked well in the circumstances. The lack of universal photography bothered me, and it was not just limited to the burials, but to all archaeological features. I feel that the photographic record should be a balance to drawn records, which always have an interpretative element.
