Time Team

Genre: Documentary, Science, History

Premise: This British series dates back to 1994, but it goes back even further -- millions of years in some cases -- as a team of specialists dig deep to uncover as much as they can in three days about a U.K. site's archaeology and history. Actor Tony Robinson is the show's host (or ``presenter,'' as they say in Britain) and unofficial translator, explaining to viewers in layman's terms what the experts come across during the dig.
