==Other formats== {{Main|History Hunters|Time Team Digs|Time Team Extra|Time Team Live|Time Team America}}''Time Team's Big Dig'' was an expansion on the live format. A weekend of live broadcasts in June 2003 was preceded by a week of daily short programmes. It involved about a thousand members of the public in excavating test pits each one metre square by fifty centimetres deep. Most of these pits were in private gardens and the project stirred up controversies about approaches to [[public archaeology]]. ''Time Team's Big Roman Dig'' (2005) saw this format altered, in an attempt to avoid previous controversies, through the coverage of nine archaeological sites around the UK which were already under investigation by professional archaeologists. ''Time Team'' covered the action through live link-ups based at a Roman Villa at [[Dinnington, Somerset|Dinnington]] in Somerset β itself a ''Time Team'' excavation from 2003. Over 60 other professionally supervised excavations were supported by ''Time Team'' and carried out around the country in association with the programme. A further hundred activities relating to Roman history were carried out by schools and other institutions around the UK. ''Time Team Specials'' are documentary programmes about topics in history and archaeology made by the same production company. They are generally presented by Robinson and often feature one or more of the familiar faces from the regular programme of ''Time Team''. In some cases the programme makers have followed the process of discovery at a large commercial or research excavation by another body, such as that to commemorate the 90th anniversary of the ending of the First World War at the [[Vampire dugout]] in Belgium. ''Time Team'' usually does not carry out excavations for these programmes, but may contribute a reconstruction. ''Time Team History of Britain'' saw Robinson and the team document everything they have learned up to now and show a history of Britain. ''Behind the Scenes of Time Team'' showed meetings of the archaeologists, and material not transmitted during the episode of the dig. ''10 Years of Time Team'' presented a round-up of what has happened in Time Team over the past 10 years and what they expect to happen in the future. The Time Team website (editor Steve Platt) won a BAFTA for interactive entertainment (factual) in 2002.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://awards.bafta.org/award/2002/interactive/games-|access-date=2023-02-19 |website=BAFTA|title=Interactive in 2002 | BAFTA Awards }}</ref>
