I'll just leave this here: http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/20...gist-time-team

It won't mean a great deal to people outside the UK, but Time Team was a big influence on my life - it fueled my interest in Archaeology and that led me into the carrier I have now.

I never met Mick Aston - but I know people who did and they always said he was the same in real life as on TV, if not better.
