Editing Time Team (section)

==Production==
''Time Team'' developed from an earlier Channel&nbsp;4 programme, ''[[Time Signs]]'', first broadcast in 1991. Produced by Taylor, ''Time Signs'' had featured Aston and Harding, who went on to appear on ''Time Team''. Following ''Time Signs''' cancellation, Taylor went on to develop a more attractive format, producing the idea for ''Time Team'', which Channel&nbsp;4 also picked up, broadcasting the first series in 1994. ''Time Team'' has had many companion shows during its run, including ''[[Time Team Extra]]'' (1998), ''[[History Hunters]]'' (1998–1999) and ''[[Time Team Digs]]'' (2002),
whilst several spin-off books have been published. The programme features special episodes, often [[Documentary film|documentaries]] on history or archaeology and [[live television|live]] episodes. The programme has been exported to 35&nbsp;other countries.<ref>{{cite web |title=Time Team buried by C4 |first=Balihar |last=Khalsa |magazine=Broadcast |location=London |date=22 October 2012 |url=http://www.broadcastnow.co.uk/news/commissioning/time-team-buried-by-c4/5048025.article |access-date=31 January 2013 |url-access=subscription}}</ref>{{efn|
''Time Team'' was made in partnership between VideoText Communications Ltd and Picturehouse Television Co. Ltd (based in London). Recently formed Wildfire Television was involved in the production of ''The Big Roman Dig'' (2005) and ''The Big Royal Dig'' (2006). It was produced by Taylor, the show's originator, with Robinson as associate producer.

On 13&nbsp;September 2007, during the filming of a [[jousting reenactment]] for a special episode of ''Time Team'', a splinter from a [[balsa wood]] [[lance]] went through the eye-slit in the helmet of one of the participants and entered his eye socket. 54&nbsp;year-old Paul Anthony Allen, a member of a re-enactment society, died a week later in hospital.<ref>{{cite web |title=Fatal jousting accident man named |date=24 October 2007 |website=BBC News |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/7060957.stm |access-date=12 July 2013}}</ref> Channel&nbsp;4 stated that the programme would be shown, but without the re-enactment sequence.
