I always thought Mick Aston wasn't on Time Team after 2012 because he died. But he actually quit the year before he died unexpectedly, because the producers had fired/sort-of fired Stewart, Helen and Victor for not being sexy enough, and hired a lady in tight pants to be a new cohost.
Her name is Mary-Anne Ochota. She is a model / presenter with an anthropology degree. I for some reason have never actually seen a Series 19 episode so I don't know anything else about it.
I mean, this isn't her fault, and I don't want to be a dick. But this sort of only works as a show where a bunch of awkward nerds and Phil Harding try to explain what pottery is to Tony as he squeals and bounces around. Shaking up the format at that point to bring in the sports dads seems like a lame idea.
Everyone apparently agreed and they canned the whole show soon after. The later serieses are specials or some new e-begging thing on YouTube.
I'm going to go watch a Series 19 episode to see if it is indeed any sexier than just Phil Harding in cutoffs.

Sometimes I find myself entertaining the idea that F1 is like a fun family environment where the drivers are one big group of friends and then I remember how Kmag said that he was "surprised the other drivers welcomed him back in 2022 because he'd heard how the others think he's a bad driver" and then I start thinking about how he was laughed at and given no support in his rookie season and then it makes me think of the same things happening to Mick and now it's happening to Logan all over again and I realize once again that the drivers are all just men and I need someone to keep a hold on these boys so that they don't sink.

Lance: What is nostalgia?
Mick: It's when you are missing something really old.
*an hour later*
Fernando: Hello boys, I'm home.
Lance: Welcome back, we missed you.
