The Time Team ,T-Team, or Temp Grex for short are a gang of thieves - or treasure looters who live as diggers of Fortune - created by the United Kingdom's Channel Four in 1994. Every second new moon, Channel Four sends the Time Team out for three consecutive nights, when the team are required to hunt for treasure to either fund Channel 4's other, poorly rating television programming or to financially support numerous racism accusations.

The Main Characters are:

Tony 'I love it when a cunning Plan comes together' Robinson is the leader of this band of mercenaries. Just because he's been on TV before, this somehow makes him the authority on digging up the 'spoils'. The others just ignore him as he knows shit about digging - He thought Geofizz was a next morning pick-me-up. (It is now - see below) He has a big nose for hunches - which is just as well.

Mick 'Uncle Albert' Aston is the weatherman who predicts when its going to piss down while their diggin ditches, Mick picks the best weekend to get shat on so they can go down t'Pub and discuss what they could have dug - could they be arsed. His Sweaters are now more famous than Bettys Hotpot who (along with Noel edmonds) which make him a sought after fashion Guru like Gok Wan.

Phil 'Woody' Hardin is the lead drinker in the group and champion banjo player, he can down a keg of Scrumpy and still dig a ditch regardless of whether its in the right field or the golf course. His Bleeding Banjo string incident in 2005 caused a bit of trouble for Channel fours censors, but after Tony stuck his face in the Camera to block out the Sun view, the audience complaints were diverted to Tonys features up close than anything less obscene.
