2007 Accident
On 13 September 2007, during the filming of a jousting reenactment for a special episode of Time Team, a splinter from a balsa wood lance went through the eye-slit in the helmet of one of the participants and entered his eye socket. Paul Anthony Allen (1953–2007), a member of a re-enactment society, died a week later in hospital. Channel 4 stated that the programme would be shown, but without the re-enactment sequence and the episode, dedicated to Mr Allen, was transmitted on 25 February 2008.
