Why is the Live being held midweek?
The previous Live events have taken place over the August bank holiday weekend. In 2000, however, the vagaries of cricket (in combination with the British weather) wreaked havoc with the scheduling and Time Team s time on air was reduced drastically. Given that it is impossible to predict either the weather or the course of a cricket match with any degree of precision, it was decided that fixed midweek programme times were a safer bet.
