Page "Time Team" Paragraph 5

Time Team developed from an earlier Channel 4 series, Time Signs, first broadcast in 1991.

Produced by Taylor, Time Signs had featured Aston and Harding, who both went on to appear on Time Team.

Following that show's cancellation, Taylor went on to develop a more attractive format, producing the idea for Time Team, which Channel 4 also picked up, broadcasting the first series in 1994.

Time Team has had many companion shows during its run, including Time Team Extra ( 1998 ), History Hunters ( 1998-1999 ) and Time Team Digs ( 1997-2006 ), whilst several spin-off books have also been published.

The series also features special episodes, often documentaries on history or archaeology, and live episodes.

Time Team America, a US version of the programme, was broadcast on PBS in 2009, and co-produced by Oregon Public Broadcasting and Videotext / C4i.
