"Knap my flint"

I love Time Team on Channel 4. Archaeology is fantastic and really interesting but it has always really annoyed me at the ridiculous time limit they impose on themselves.

For those unaware, they find a promising site to excavate and give themselves 3 days to do it. Yup, 3 days. They are always hurrying up the digging, quickly putting in test trenches at the last minute "hoping to identify" some feature.

Why? Give yourself a week at least! What is the point in having an archaeological expedition and only giving yourself 30 hours of daylight? If that! They have found some excellent sites in their time but they are so very often annoyed that they ran out of time at the end and didn't have the time to explore further to pin down some evidence.

GIVE YOURSELVES TIME, TEAM!

Sorry. That was really bad wasn't it...
