dear Mr. Holtorf, Time Team has not been broadcasted in Belgium, and as far as i know of, not in the Netherlands either. We only have BBC 1 and 2 on our television. I know of Time Team, trough my membership of several foreign societies, but in the Low Countries it is unknown to the public and to most of the archaeologists.
Which is, off course, a pitty!
Best wishes, Dries Tys
