He of the stripey jumper has passed today. Sad news.
Nooooooooooooooo... He was a star. 😥
He was amazing, RIP fella.
Really sad news he was a top bloke
Really sad, he was a total legend. The only reason I used to watch Time Team.
Sad news 🙁
That's a shock! RIP Mick.
Oh dear, he was good 🙁
I bet he wanted burying rather than cremating.
In 200 years time some archeologist will dig him up, and state he invented tv archaelogy for the masses.
Sadly he will be missed.
thats terrible news
randomly Im on an archaeology dig with Raksha from time team this week, I imagine tomorrow will be rather sombre
cant find anything on the news channels.
Sad news.. His enthusiasm is what made me watch time team.
R.I.P Mick the dig.
He was coming to dig my garden up, not anymore. 😥
Lovely chap who lived in my village, sorely missed as an active member of the community
been announced on timeteams twitter feed 🙁
RIP
Oh, that's a real shame, always came across as a lovely, enthusiastic bloke, who really cared about his subject. RIP, Mick. 🙁
I actually got him mixed up with Phil, I thought Phil had died.
Mick was still a top bloke and it is very sad that he has died so young.
Phil was the star of the show for me though.
I saw him in Waterstone`s in Wells .A very nice bloke IMO
Yep, sad news. The program really dropped in quality when he left.
I'm sure lots of bearded archeologists will be raising a real ale or three to him tonight
RIP Mick 🙁
Noooooooooo. A true gentleman.
RIP, Mick.
Mick will be justly remembered for [i]Time Team[/i] - and for pioneering what would become "community archaeology". He did a [i]huge[/i] amount for public engagement & education, and worked tirelessly to that end. Expert without being patronising, Mick understood how popular enthusiasm has [i]always[/i] been the bedrock of the subject (ever since the formative years of the great Victorian County Societies).
He was out-standing in his field... and what more can one say of a great archaeologist than that? RIP Mick - you will be missed.
(Noteeth - ex-archaeologist).
