I am one of those people that don't often get a chance to catch Time Team 'live' so to speak, but catch it occasionally on More 4 or the History Channel. One recent episode I did see was set in a pub and had the main characters of the series recounting their favourite episode over the years. What surprised me was that none suggested the TimeTeam in London (Gresham Street), or in Canterbury (Westgate) or at Ely as their fave. Which was quite surprising cos they were the only 3 episodes I recall that showed archaeology as it really is, warts and all....kind of did make me think, for a moment or two, that TT was at the end of the day a giant ego-trip for many of the participants.....
I do regret the demise of TT, not so much for what they did, but for what they could have done with a little more forethought and maybe a closer relationship with the nitty-gritty of our working lives....

With peace and consolation hath dismist, And calm of mind all passion spent...
