Death in the Wilderness (official transcript, 1/5)
I love Team Team (UK), as geeky and weird as that makes me. I’ve watched all episodes and specials available on YouTube (some 250 episodes). And I was sitting, (re)watching one with Saxon burials and thought to myself, "What would these prove-it-to-me archaeologists do if they ever encountered a ghost on one of their digs?" That led me to this: 27,000 words of archaeological and filming shortcuts, and John Winchester being mostly off-screen.
I hope you like it.
Death in the Wilderness
Fandoms: Time Team (UK), Supernatural
