I guess there's no art Victor couldn't just dominate. He always does the land-based paintings, recently watched him do fancy filigree type stuff on a glass goblet, and here he paints ocean scenes just bursting with tumult and motion. What a talent! I usually don't care for that style of art, but Victor was just that good.
he was an amazing artist i wonder if theres a book of his artwork
I love your use of the English language i.e just bursting with tumult and motion, I can just picture dark skies brewing up a storm... Ships bobbing in the sea like corks.
It is typical of the artistic type, a friend of mine also has this talent, doesn't matter whether he is painting Warhammer miniatures, canvas, sculpting or building, he always has the ability to suggest the ideas he wants. Looking up close everything is really crude, but when you step back it always looks amazing, no matter what medium he uses...
Victor's contribution to Time Team is almost never really celebrated, but is invaluable for making the stories come to live for the viewers, but sometimes we see the archaeologists themselves using it as a way to visualize what the remains they find might have looked like.
@@Kholdaimonvictor was an awesome painter and could draw anything!!always loved his art,I've never been that good lol,draw some happy stick figures, about the best I can do 😂🤣🤦♂️
“I’ll tell you wot, he”s a hard character to keep up with, this Stuart..”. 🤣
Fantastic
Relentless, he is !
The stars of this episode are Dr. Felipe, who was immensely enjoyable to watch and listen to, and Stewart, who made a sad, lonely trek to the top of a nearby hillside (albeit accompanied by a crew member who went under duress, LOL).
I love the passion in his voice 😁
Episode's from January 2002. Already 19 years ago. NINETEEN !!! Almost two whole decades.
Man, time flies. Like it has a giant tank of ignited rocket fuel strapped to its rear end and with no clear trajectory ...or target for that matter.
Indeed
I was born in January 2002… insane and amazing to think about
According to a date on one of the computer screens it was filmed in 2001.
And now it’s old enough to drink. 😅
@@Praesentaneusyup tempus fugit!! Can't beleive it's been 20yrs already, Mick been gone 10,Robin been gone about 15-16yrs and the artist chap,Vince?he passed in 2021 I beleive??sad we've lost a few, its gonna hurt when Phil leaves us, and Stewart and Tony lol..im not ready for any of it lol!!😂🤦♂️✌️🥃
I know they are mere speculation, but I really like what the drawings add to the feel of these shows.
As others have mentioned the audio mix for Tony's voice-overs is bad. The music and ambient noise overpowers his voice.
Enabling the captions (CC icon) helps considerably!
The mixing is atrocious.
I once read a comment on another history channel saying that they have to block out certain music they no longer own the rights to, or various other things that could get them copyright claimed even though they own the rights to the video.
@@caittailsyeah, I've heard that to. It's true for some of the old Top Gear uploads. They use different music than in the original TV broadcasts.
However, as far as I know TimeTeam has always used their own music. They still use it in their current, revamped episodes.
The sounds is not good. The music is way too loud.
Plus they often seem to have two separate voice track speaking at the same time, making it hard to understand either.
@@PtolemyJones The problem is that Tony's narration is too soft, so _all_ the other sounds are way too loud; music, other voices, etc.
Actually you have it backward. Tony narration is TOO powerful so they have to cut his audio in half
Patricia is correct. If we are not allowed to pay attention to what is being said, what are we meant to be doing? Presumably it is crass incompetence on somebody's part, but no one on Time Team could really give a monkey's cuss.
I've got to just over 17 minutes, and I regret to say that I can't stand the disgusting noise any more, so goodbye, Spanish Armada.
With a lack of timber finds I think the Canon, anchor and pottery were thrown overboard to lighten the load
They grounded on the level and threw of the heavy to float and float away
Diving without gloves in those temperatures it's amazing he could even feel things let alone pick them up..
I live in death valley and I've never used gloves to drive
Thank God for Tony Robinson my time spent watching documentaries would not be the same without him
Second you sincerely and most heartily!
That's Sir Anthony Robinson to you, sir.
Dr Armesto's face after he makes his wager on the San Gabriel is pure gold XD
5:14 That harmonica: I can't hear that song without thinking of Quint in Jaws.
I knew I heard that before. Jaws.. I still can't go in water.. Lol
This has turned out to be one of my favourite episodes!
Wasn’t sure how Time Team would go with an underwater oceanic archeology, but this is amazing! Thanks so much for taking the plunge in the North Sea 🌊 and thanks again Time Team!
I'm sorry, but every time I see Tony Robinson, I still expect him to say "I have a cunning plan my lord!"
So many of the documentaries i enjoy watching have such terrible sound balancing.
Same here! Because of how widespread this is, I think it may be a CZcams encoding problem rather than an issue with the original audio. Time Team in particular feels like a keen channel for overall quality, too, which only makes me question the distribution more pointedly.
The only correct way of doing it is to never play music or other distracting noise at the same time as speech. People vary wildly in their sensitivity to such noise, but for some of us it is a severe impediment to understanding what is said. Accessibility should be a priority for documentaries.
From what I can tell after watching about 10 minutes, the "live sound" from the actual filmed activities isn't bad, but the sound for the narration and music added over the top is horrible. Having watched 15-20 episodes in recent weeks, I'm sure it wasn't like that originally. It must be something with the upload messing up a secondary track or something (I know nothing of video or sound or youtube, it's just a guess).
Considering how widespread the issue is please consider a hearing exam for some underlying issues
Hmmm, music is louder then his voice at times.
Background noise is louder a well.
Makes this unwatchable. I can't stand loud music, it gives me a migraine, I can't seem to drown it out and find his voice.
This is a problem I've noticed on several episodes. Really a shame considering how great this series is...
Time Team needs more than 3 days. You can't rush archeology.
I read in a comment on a different episode that the sound issues come from the audio being compressed when the footage is uploaded to CZcams.
I don’t know anything about audio, but the guy seemed to know what he was talking about.
It’s especially bad on this one...
Episode 79 (Series 9, Episode 3), Diving for the Armada, Aired: January 20, 2002
Thank you!
@Dakarai you
Thank you. Hmm, this means a lot of Time Team's playlists are far from complete. I've been binging from season 1 up till here but there's no way I've watched over 70 so far.
Got to love how Tony, the narrator, is so excited to get in the water and help
Dr. Ernesto would make a fab Scarlet Pimpernel. I'd love to hear him say "Sink me."
He said hthe surface supplied divers are fed a nitrogen rich mixture from surface tanks. He must have misunderstood, they would be fed an oxygen rich gas called enriched air nitrox. The depth is correct for nitrox, which will extend bottom time and reduce the chance of bends. I spent quite a number of years mixing and using it at similar depths.
41:10 -- I am getting seasick just watching the video! I could not imagine being out in such rough seas in a small boat. 🤮
🤣 Sorry I laughed. Thank goodness I’ve never been bothered by that.
I had the experience when I was only 7 years old, a day trip on a fishing boat in the North Sea. It was fun getting slightly seasick only.
Gosh I love this show.
Love these episodes. Wish they would of never stopped making them.
True. True. I suppose the physical labor has to be curtailed at a certain age. The great appeal is the long familiarity with the main characters. Tony’s still charming even when he’s pushing banal angles. He’s like the uncle who tells you the same joke over and over but you appreciate the reliability. It’s comfortable.
Chris Hyde That’s him. 😁
You guys know there is 20 seasons right x'D
They're making a couple more. :)
@@Just_Sara I saw that. Looking forward to it.
One of the best episodes.
One of your best episodes...very informative...got love the Time Team! :)
Great show as always, thanks
Another great video! Thank you for the education.
I get a nerdgasm watching others in the throws of a nerdgasm. Time Team delivers every time 😍🥰
"Eric the ROV." Great Python reference.
I started scrolling to see if anyone else caught that one. The guy had a little smirk on his face when he told Phil.LOL
Wonderful episode
6:36 - the poshness of this guy pulls his face down physically 😂
This looks exactly like the shipwreck coast in Victoria Australia 🇦🇺 so many wrecks!
producer: "hey, trainee...this is your chance on mixing a TT documentary. are you in? don't screw it up!"
trainee: 😬
I've always liked Time Team and the specials - Hi Tony & Phil. I've been to Malmesbury and Devizes and of course Swindon.
I really love the posh 'English-accent' of Dr. Felipe Fernandez Armesto!
Me too! So posh he makes Henry Blowfeld sound like Arthur Mullard.
He worked in Oxford for 20ish years, but I suspect he also went to Eton. Or maybe Ampleforth, the Catholic Eton... His mother was English. He reminds me a little, of Boris! Voice only!
sound is poked
What might be a plus to this is that time team contacted Spanish museums or uni's and find some documents relating the departure and demise of their ships that probably might be recorded somewhere? I am just guessing of course! But what an amazing episode this was 😮😁🤩
Great episode.
This problem with voice over makes it very unpleasant to listen to. I've noticed a few recently as released on CZcams. I don't remember this issue from years ago when the show was on telly. Such a shame because I love Time Team! I so appreciate being able to see them again
Very interesting. Now I have to go back and research this event as I thought Drake and his men got the best of the Spanish Armada. It’s been a while since high school. 😊
I am 74 and learnt the Tudor propaganda as well but it is very very many years now since I learnt that it was lies. Probably on a TV programme, mayb even Time Team. Fake news has a long history.
@@helenamcginty4920 It’s hard to remove incorrect history as well. It persists forever it seems.
The weather was the chief Defender of Britain. Who was the Spanish Admiral in charge? Wasn't he a grower of oranges and just wanting to go home? He was a Duke. Can't remember the name.
The wind blowing the Armada around the bottom of Britain was taught everywhere. Some called it quits and got off at Cornwall and added some dramatic darkness to the population, others got smashed up trying to get around Britain, or even Ireland, so they could go home across the top of Scotland - and many were lost there, too.
Is Tony reading a script or that ignorant?
A few arch. students who worked on TT episodes said Tony sat in the car, most of the time and only emerged looking excited and urgent when required. He's an actor, FDS!
I don't think lovely, easy going Mick was impressed. A few times, he introduced him as Tony Robins.
Propaganda. 16th century English propaganda.
Well done, all!
The largest ships of the invincible armada were Portuguese ships.
"São Martinho" was the flagship of the "Armada", 48 canons with 3 canon decks, (São Martinho had an overall length of about 180 feet (55 m) with a beam of about 40 feet (12 m). She carried the aforementioned 48 heavy guns on two enclosed gun decks, plus multiple smaller weapons).
It was the capital ship of the Invincible Spanish Armada, led by the Spanish Medina Sedonia , commander of the fleet. Today is known as one of the biggest Spanish galleons on the Spanish history even being Portuguese.
It was the second largest ship in the fleet along with over 16 Portuguese ships like:
The Portuguese ship São João (de Portugal). (50 guns). Vice-flagship (Fleet Almiranta). Known in Spanish as San Juan de Portugal and in English as Saint John of Portugal. Captained by Recalde (captain of this ship later in the expedition).
São Marcos (33 guns).
São Filipe (40 guns).
São Luis (38 guns).
São Mateus (34 guns). Known in Spanish as San Mateo and in English as Saint Matthew.
Santiago (24 guns).
Florencia (52 guns). The Tuscan-built galleon San Francisco (São Francisco in Portuguese) was appropriated, renamed and integrated within the squadron of Portuguese galleons.[3] Older Portuguese galleons like the São Lucas and the São Rafael had already been withdrawn from service; one was still in the squadron at Lisbon, but was too small and too rotted to accompany the Squadron), and she was substituted by the Florencia.
The Portuguese squad were the backbone Spanish Armada, the biggest galleons, the and main target for the enemy.
The average for Spanish ships as 10 to 30 guns and some times more but in the most cases less, some times Spanish ships had only 1 gun.
There are reports that is frequently to see several British ships attacking a single galleon, like the galleon São Filipe alone against 16 british ships and the São Mateus alone against 10 british ships. The rate of fire of the armada was very good. The São Mateus surrender after the end of the ammunitions.
In the June 31, "San Juan" get hit 300 times and fire 140 shots.
In the August 2, San Martin get hit 50 times and fire 120 shots.
In fact the British are in superior number and they damage the main ships of the armada focusing the fire on the big ones and the little ones are unable to help.
The Portuguese galleons make the Spanish armada be called by "The Invincible Armada" until today.
I was going to watch this while the rest of the household had gone to bed. Unfortunately it was impossible with headphones. Such a pity. I was really looking forward to watching (& listening to) this gem of an episode. What went wrong with the audio? Could it be fixed by (converting it differently?) uploading it again?
watching Phil find out that remote controls exist was cute.
That one dude is really really passionate about the boats lol
That Dr Filipe is quite the character
There's a bit of humor in the music starting at 5:14. It's "Farewell And Adieu Fair Spanish Ladies" played on harmonica. Capt Quints song in the movie Jaws. Gotta' love an editor with a sense of humor.
Please do keep them coming. Again i'll ask: when will special nr 1 be uploaded? Followed by nr. 2.. naturally. Kind regards from Denmark
The audio on so many of this channels videos is messed up. The fault is in recording from tv or encoding before for youtube. Either stereo channels are missing a channel or 5.1 source is being saved incorrectly as stereo which removes some channels.
Please just encode source as mono. That fixes all issues. All channels will flatten to one balanced sound. Sad because this is one of CZcams's best channels.
Neat!
The problem with anything where the sound is competing with the voices, anyone who wears a hearing aide ends up having to turn them down due to the building in loudness of the music and then not being able to hear the voices AT ALL.... Sadly I now remember why I never watched it back then.. and I don't even wear a hearing aide but ended up turning down volume and then only just being able to hear the voices, who knows how bad it is if you do!! And then to have to voices the same height in volume talking over each other lol... barmy! Narrating and talking on the radio, result you end up hearing neither due to distraction!!
That's a hell of a lee shore to be stove upon...
I wonder if Tony was trying to imitate the sound of speaking through an underwater mask microphone. I'm afraid that he succeeded all too well.
No problem with sound at all for me.
I'm thoroughly interested and would love to watch but the music and sound is so loud that Tony has become someone talking in the background. I'll spare myself the inevitable resultant headache from straining to hear him and watch something else. Sorry.
Some sailor told his captain "I just figured out how deep we are" after it hit the reef.
Were they at sea level?
I’m so sad I can’t hear him talk.
fix the sound ples
The impervious horror of the Lea shore….Master and Commander by Patrick O'Brian. I know, I know wrong era, bit never the less appropriate.
Drake didn't defeat the Spanish armada, the weather did
Harvesting kelp before dragging out the magnetometer seemed a bit like good natured hazing to me, but if you've not had it trust me its worth it , kelp is quite tasty and nutritious.
Is this where the term Black Irish came from? I don’t know but that’s what I’ve heard and have never really looked in to it.
Well . as far as i know spaniards are european whites.... Spain national football team is whiter than the english , LOL....
@@joaquincastello6174 😅😅 Hair color I believe is what they are referring to.
@@graceamerican3558 Spanish football players... Fernando Torres . Xavi Alonso ,Alberto Moreno (Liverpool) . Michu (Swansea) , Puyol, Sergio Ramos, etc, etc...Spanish .Tenis players (Juan carlos Ferrero , David Ferrer, Feliciano Lopez , etc), Pau and Marc Gasol , etc,etc.....None of them has black hair... Have you ever been to Spain?. Are you the typical american who thinks Spain is nest to México?.
@@joaquincastello6174 I know exactly where Spain is. Did you know that SPAIN is the one that invaded Mexico? I asked a QUESTION. That being part of the Spanish Armada that crashed on the shores of Ireland. I wanted to find out IF IT WAS TRUE.
@@graceamerican3558 Of course i know..... From the south of Argentina until Alaska was SPAIN... Not like the anglosaxons.. The country Spain was all the countries conquered and the Spain in Europe... Philipinas also. And the spanish armada fought againts the storms and gales not againts anglosaxons.... Anyway that´s history.
That’s a really small ROV!
58°26'24"N 5°04'16"W looks a lot like building walls and a ditch 🤔
SALUDOS DE BLAS DE LEZO DESDE CARTAGENA DE INDIAS
Sound is bad, can you fix?
Amazing episode. Love that they get off dry land once in a while.
Tony’s voice-over I find is sometimes drowned out by music, other people talking, boat engines etc etc. A bit annoying.
I can’t hear ‘ Farewell and adieu fair Spanish ladies’ without picturing Jaws. It’s creepy!
It takes an awfully large, long interval sea to move the bottom substancially 25 meters down.
27:25 "there might have been a thousand Spanish souls on a single ship". No, the largest ship of the Spanish Armada had about 500 crew and soldiers on board.
Aaah, but you see, the spanish were so pious that their souls count multiple times!!!
The audio mixing appears to have been put through the same currents that sunk the armada
The music in beginning kinda makes it hard to hear Tony. Grand episode non the less.
2:56 is the first time we can hear what is being said. =)
Do I hear Procul Harum playing Conquistador in the background?
Does anyone else think that some of the specialist they bring on for an episode are auditioning?
Fantastic episode, but the background sound is too loud
Longitude was not proved at the time of the Spanish Armada I believe.
Another bad sound editor!
31:56 the guy speaking here, what brand jacket is that?
But ask yourself, WHY would royalty sail on supply ship that probably is lightly armed with only a few canons?
read.
Royalty itself didn't travel on a supply ship, only their baggage. All this pottery was meant to be used on land - England - once conquered. Things didn't go according to plan.
There was a Spanish Duke who was one of the Admirals, I think. I can't recall his name. I think he actually was very happy at his home growing oranges and really just wanted to be there, but because of his importance, was in the Armada.
He always sounded a Spanish version of an English chinless wonder.
No doubt he had a ship dragging around everything he needed to set up a suite just like home, for the months post triumph...
For the people complaining about the sound.....I'm not sure it's as bad and unwatchable as you say.
It is. Especially for anyone older than about 50. It becomes increasingly difficult, with age, to hear against noise. Also anyone of any age with hearing difficulties.
Had to google this wreck. Shame it hasn't been identified after this aired.
I like this program but the loud music and the number of adds puts me off.
Interesting the RAF provided a dive team, not the RN.
The music pushes out the talking..., couldn't understand everything :(
I wonder if the GEO PHYS can fixing the audio dubbing
Music was very intrusive in this episode.
Eric the half-a-bee?
Bisected accidentally!
My bottom-time is about half an hour at any depth!
This is unwatchable with the sound as it is now. And this is the official channel!?
Voice audio is terrible on this one, overwhelmed by the music and background noise.
Does no one listen to the audio before these are uploaded????? Music is way over top of the narration, it's nearly unlistenable.
Utterly ignorant question: could the ship dump the pottery and cannons hoping for some advantage against the storm?
It amazes me how UK programming from 2002 looks crisp and clear, as if it were just filmed, whereas if you look back at US programming from the same time, it tends to be grainy and poor quality
Probably shot on real, movie quality film. American stuff, shot on cheap videotape.
it's a great episode, but I wonder why the background noise and music is so loud that it is difficult at times to follow Tony's narrative.
Rubbing the hardened resin with your finger in that piece of broken 3 legged pottery probably isn't the thing to do, cross-contamination and all, lol.
Yeah, I do sometimes wonder watching these programmes and seeing all the handling of finds. Given how much technology progresses over time, and how far DNA science had already come... might future archaeologists curse us for contaminating the DNA traces on finds in the same way that we are unhappy about how most antiquarians muddled the stratigraphy of the sites they explored?
There is another TT and Armada, that is way over the top complete with 1990s costumes and hair. They are looking in Devon, rather than in Scotland. Must better sound and Tony has a full head!
The sound mix is all messed up. Annoying drums and music blaring off and on making the dialogue almost impossible to understand. Very disappointing...
