Dig Watch: BoB Operation Nightingale (Wiltshire): Day 8
🕑 Added 2023-05-10 18:08:53 +0000 UTCGuess who's back? Back again. Tony's back! Tell a friend... (Sorry, we couldn't resist.)
It has been an amazing eight days here in Aldbourne. A very special thanks to Richard Osgood, Operation Nightingale, all the serving personnel and veterans, volunteers, guests, event partners and people of the village who helped make it possible, and made us feel so welcome.
Not least, thanks to you all on Patreon for joining us on the journey and helping us to identify the finds. We've enjoyed bringing you closer to the action, and we'll be feeding back the experience and your comments into our future on-site updates.
There's still plenty more to come from our Band of Brothers dig, including some very special competitions, more photos, finds analysis, 3D models, and - of course - the documentary Special, featuring Sir Tony himself.
We'll be announcing more details on that programme and our other upcoming digs in due course, so stay with us for all the details.

Awww - just like old times

Great to see Tony. It's like he was never away. So natural and cheeky. Thank you to everyone for supporting Time Team Patreon.

Loving it. Brilliant comment from Tony to Matt.

Tony is getting old. I hope he is alright. He sounded a bit weak. Looking forward to that special. And Matt again is a good presenter.
Dyana Mason
Can’t wait for the special!

Great job everyone. I really love Matt’s presentation style.
How wonderful to see Tony

On YouTube is a 1943 30 minute video for the US troops called "WW2 Training film for US soldiers -How to behave in Britain/ 1943". It is very interesting and funny. Similar to the pamphlet. I am looking forward to the special with Tony. Great job on this Dig. Thank you.

Brilliant dig watches. Can't wait for the Special

The Japanese American National Museum in Los Angeles has an intact Tar Paper Hut that was used at the Heart Mountain Detention Camp during World War 2.

What a great tease for an exciting special to come! I'm so glad you teamed up with Project Nightingale again. The first episode you did with them was absolutely moving and still one of my favorites. Matt did an excellent job presenting this series. Excited to see where Tony takes this!

Rewatched 'Band of Brothers' to give greater life to the finds, villagers' interactions, and actors' recollections. The beginning of the end but more to come in the special!

I don't think I can accurately describe how good this whole Dig Watch has made me feel. Corny humor coincident with experimental archaeology? Check. Absolutely *fascinating* glimpses into the past? Check. Pub scenes? Check! A thought I had when they were looking at that discarded, bent dog tag: It was like an outside glimpse into that soldier's memories. Made me smile wryly and think, "Well, it's good enough for government work I suppose." :)

oh, I do love Tonys voice and way to represent!
Kerry Hennigan
Tony's touch of humour is always a joy!
Richard Stedall
Matt has proved himself to be an excellent presenter during this dig and I hope he is given the chance to do more of this in the future (if he wants to)
Robert Wise
Praise rhe Lord … finally some humor!
Theresa Cashin
That was just a tease!
Nathan Davey
From a 23 year US Army veteran, thank you for doing this series!

I've really enjoyed seeing this longer dig, it's a nice change of pace. And I thought handled really well with little spotlights of people here and there and what they were up to. I absolutely howled at Tony's parting line. Can't wait for the special!
