Time Team, why do they only have 3 days?!
Question:
Time Team, why do they only have 3 days?
Is there any real reason why Time Team only have 3 days or is it just made up for theatrics?
Answers:
The archaeologists and experts used in Time Team programmes all have jobs and most can only get away for three days at a time. In addition, budgetary constraints mean that technical crew – all those essential personnel behind the cameras (and each Time Team shoot involves 45-50 people) – can only be employed for as long as absolutely necessary. After all, Channel 4 has a lot of programmes to make besides Time Team. There is a third reason too, of course – having a time limit makes for better television!
