GSB have been involved with Time Team since the first appearance of the programme on Channel 4 television some 7 years ago. The series has received critical acclaim, won several TV awards and regularly attracts viewing figures in excess of 3 million, something never previously achieved for a popular archaeology series on independent television in the UK.
