#TimeTeam get stuck into some urban archeology, digging the foundations of Sheffield, once Britain’s “Steel City”. Tea (presumably a Yorkshire blend) makes an early appearance at 3m 38s, but beer has to wait until 47m 35s - with less than 2m on the clock.

The #TimeTeam get lost and meet a bunch of folk digging up a wet patch of Scotland in search of a submerged crannog (which I’d suggest is basically a contradiction in terms). No one is carrying any drink though, so it’s a dry old 49m 1s episode we’re all in for.

Not a dig so much as a guided tour around one of the few remaining buildings in the UK to show signs from all the phases of its seven centuries, from the medieval onwards. And a dry tour until 48m 31s, when Tony (but no other #TimeTeam member) gets a posh drop of red.

Following the Dorsets’ attempts to capture Point 54, set back from the beaches of Normandy, this #TimeTeam special runs for 49m 10s, but the rum ration appears to have been misplaced; a squadie gets a glass of something at 47m 47s, but none of the diggers see a drop.

Chasing a Roman villa, the #TimeTeam find Iron Age and Bronze Age remains into the bargain, but no beer to wash any of it down with - just a disappointingly dry 47m 07s episode, with a lot of men lying down, and a noticeable surplus of chickens.

Mick jalouses “we could be here for thirty years” as the #TimeTeam stert howkin for the auld, C12th burgh o Roxburgh.
Gin sae, it’d be a thirty-year drouth, for there’s no a Scots pint, a tappit hen, nor even a mutchkin o ale in the hale scrotchin’ 46m 55s ploy.

Back-garden archaeology is all well and good (in this instance, the #TimeTeam are in search of a Roman villa) but what about back-garden drinking? It was looking unlikely (and S11 has form in that regard), but we were saved by a couple of cans of Stella Artois at 32m 18s.

The #TimeTeam dig up the floor of a posh old biddy’s living room in search of King Cnut’s hall; a man makes awful noises with a series of reeds, and we finally get a drink at 46m 27s, with just 38 seconds left on the sundial.

Digging in and around an Iron Age hill fort, the #TimeTeam find themselves up against a colony of great crested newts, which have legal protection, and hinder the dig no end. No newts is good newts, but no “pissed-as-a” either - 47m 5s of … sober-as-a-newt?

The #TimeTeam are up to their oxters in mud, digging for Mesolithic relics on the shore of the Severn estuary, but for all that it’s a water-logged task, we’ve to wait until the mock feast at 46m 11s to find any grog. It’s all wet feet and dry throats otherwise.

Searching for both an Elizabethan and a medieval furnace, the #TimeTeam dig up a family garden, but while they might well have found the remains of a bloomery, there’s no blooming drink in the whole 47m 13s episode. Where have all the pints and pubs gone??

Searching for an Iron Age trading centre on a small island in the middle of what’s now Poole Harbour, the #TimeTeam find a picnicking family with grog at 25m 19s, and wine at 30m 3s, but none of the *team* get a drink in the whole 46m 55s episode. Most unsatisfactory.

The #TimeTeam are on the hunt for what might have been the first Roman fort built in Britain, but it’s far from a simple dig. They *talk* about needing a drink at 32m 57s, but nary a fort, flagon nor flask has been found by the 47m 1s conclusion of this otherwise dry episode.

The demon drink is banished from another episode in its entirety, as the #TimeTeam fail to dig up even the remnants of a pint pot while searching for Anglo-Saxon burials in Lincolnshire. 47m 6s of blisteringly dry and entirely inexplicable abstinence.

On a rare venture north of the Antonine Wall, the #TimeTeam dig for a variety of Stone Age artefacts on the banks of Loch Migdale, near Bonar Bridge in Sutherland. There’s water galore, but no drink until Tony’s whisky bottle appears at 43m 38s.

As a kid I’d watch it each week with my dad. He’s no longer alive. But that tune just brings memories flooding back.
