“Band of Brothers” Special Dig to Air Worldwide on YouTube via Time Team

On Saturday 30 September, 2023, the Time Team will premiere its feature-length documentary starring Sir Tony Robinson on its official YouTube channel. The documentary, entitled ‘Digging the Band of Brothers’, commemorates 80 years since the legendary Easy Company were stationed in Aldbourne, Wiltshire, England ahead of D-Day.

The documentary sees Time Team working with Operation Nightingale, a Ministry of Defence initiative which uses archaeology to support the recovery of servicemen and women returning from conflict. The excavation was spearheaded by Operation Nightingale, and the team made some fantastic discoveries in Aldbourne.

Time Team’s creator and Series Producer, Tim Taylor, said: “What a thrill to join forces once again with Operation Nightingale.” The initiative’s co-founder, Richard Osgood, MBE, added: “We’ve made some fantastic discoveries together in Aldbourne, while continuing our efforts to assist military veterans with the power of archaeology.” Tony Robinson said: “It’s wonderful to be back out in the field with Time Team again, and what a project to kick things off!”

To celebrate the release, Time Team has partnered with Warner Hotels for a special competition. The prize includes a luxurious 3-night stay at Littlecote House, a grand Tudor mansion near Aldbourne, with a stunning Roman mosaic in the grounds. Littlecote was the headquarters of the 101st Airborne during the war, and is where Tony Robinson filmed several scenes for the new episode.

Time Team has since returned to screens. Thanks to thousands of fans worldwide, on the online membership platform, Patreon, the show has been able to investigate sites including a Knights Hospitaller preceptory, an Anglo-Saxon cemetery and a Roman sarcophagus. With over 9,000 current members, Time Team has set a goal of 10,000 ongoing members in order to develop more episodes.
