Time Team has been thrown into disarray after Mary-Ann Ochota became the second presenter to leave the Channel 4 archaeological programme.
Mary-Ann Ochota, 30, who holds a master’s degree in archaeology and
anthropology from Cambridge University, has left the show after a row with
Prof Mick Aston, the archaeologist.
Her leaving the show comes after Prof Aston, 65, also
quit the show after producers hired Ms Ochota, a former model, as
the programme’s co-presenter with Tony Robinson.
Prof Ashton, who has been on the show for 19 years, said he had been left
“really angry” by changes which led to the introduction of co-presenter and
some archaeologists being axed.
