NOT content with digging up stuff and educating the public on the archaeological remains of our predecessors, the producers of Time Team have entered – albeit unwittingly – into the debate over young television presenters versus older presenters.
It's ironic, given this programme is based on unearthing and celebrating all things archaic. After showing favour to a young and shiny former model by hiring 30-year-old Mary-Ann Ochota, pictured – prompting veteran archaeologist Mike Aston, 65, to walk out of the show after 19 years – it's only been announced that Ms Ochota has now left the programme, too.
What's the story?
