Word of the Day: The Gaterbomb (Friday Fun)
🕑 Added 2022-01-14 13:13:07 +0000 UTCThere are many logistical challenges we must face when putting together Time Team, some quite unexpected β for example, John Gater's propensity for muscling his way into every scene.
If you don't believe us, take a look at this selection of clips from both our recent digs and the Time Team archives.
And so this brings us to our latest Word of the Day: The 'Gaterbomb'. We know, it's not big, it's certainly not clever, but it's just a bit of silly Friday fun to get us through to the weekend.
In all seriousness, we will be hearing a lot more from John Gater in the weeks ahead, with the release of the new episodes and the results of our recent surveys at Sutton Hoo.
Needless to say, we'll bring you the exclusive lowdown on John's results directly from the man himself.
Exciting times ahead!

No, your not the only one...I truly miss him too. I'm hoping he can make a cameo appearance somehow!

I Love Mr. John Gater. He is awesome!, Think He and Stewart are both a bit under utilized and maybe taken a bit for granted, for their knowledge and their expertise they bring. REALLY miss Dr. Phil Harding..I must he only true " fan" here..
Susan Strangman
I think a new drinking game is here! Middy of beer for sighting and a schooner for interruption. ππ
Jude Edling

John, like his technology, has aged well!

Does anyone know if footage exists from the time they punked JG by making him think someone backed over his gear? I would love to see that!

On an upcoming dig the advance team should bury a stainless steel beer keg so John can discover it with magnetics. Would love to see his face on camera when they excavate it.πΊπΊπΊ
Doug Lucey
Love it. Archaeology rocks, but so do light-hearted moments. Long live the Gaterbomb!
Robert Boudreau
I'm sure it's just John's equipment sensing the anomaly caused by a camera ... right John? It's the same kind of anomaly pubs create, which as a good geophysicist John's compelled to investigate.
Nigel Bell
The Time Team equivalent of a Jager-bomb? A sudden fruity intoxicant that, in small measure, has the power to change your perception of the rest of the day -(sorry)- rest of the dig!
Derek Thom
Thanks for brightening my day.
Jean Buckley
Can never see too much of John Gater!
