I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised: There was an awkward transition post-Tony, but the new hosts have finally hit their stride.
Natalie/Gus/Hilde are far more serene presences than Tony, but they let the rest of the cast shine through. Helen and Derek in particular are the standout presenters right now, and while they don’t have the same manic/ADHD vibe, they’re both passionate and curious in a way that reflects Tony’s style and keeps the narrative intriguing.
I loved time team back in the day and I’ve just started rewatching some of them (one of the streaming services has series 13-17 here in Aus).
Might not be the same without Tony, but I see he did pop in for a cameo…
