After a ground-breaking first season (excuse the pun), the Time Team returns with a classic episode.
In this instalment they expand their scope, both geographically and professionally. Whereas during the first season they responded to requests from common citizens for help with local archeological mysteries and advice, here they join forces with a team of professionals from the National Museum of Scotland, to help advance an important project in Scotland's Outer Hebrides islands.
Not only is the archeology fascinating and important, some of the team's delightful and emblematic quirks, which would come to be so beloved, can be traced to this episode:
1. First appearance of Phil Harding's hat. Yup, that right, he went the whole first season bare-headed.
2. First appearance of Mick Aston's stripey jumper. For the next 19 seasons you'd think he slept in it.
