Did Time Team 2010 get canceled? I thought it was supposed to start mid January?  
According to the website, their still repeating 2009.

The [Unofficial Time Team fan site](http://www.timeteam.k1z.com/index.php?ind=news&op=news_show_single&ide=88) has this to say:

[QUOTE=Unofficial Time Team Site]  
I’ve had word from a very trusted source, and they tell me that the story behind Time Team not being screened in January is due to scheduling. Channel 4 are thinking about airing the show in a prime time slot, probably around 7 O’clock. But because of various commitments where other series are being tied into wider events (including the general election) the 7pm slot isn’t available for Time Team in January or February. We can’t give you the exact date yet for the first episode as it’s still being decided by Channel 4, but it should be at some point in March.

Thanks. I’m glad to hear another season is coming. This show is so addictive. I’ve seen nearly all the seasons. Even, back when Tony Robinson had hair. 😉

Speaking of Tony Robinson. He’s getting married! 😉

Hope he doesn’t hurt himself trying to satisfy a 27 year old. 😃

According to a poster on the Modern Antiquarian board, excavations were done last year and Tony Robinson is contracted for 2010 so it will happen.

Rumours say the new series _may_ start in March.
