I can't believe that so many commenters don't know Tony Robinson! I've watched everything that I could get on RUclips since he was young Tony. I'm from Las Vegas NV USA, and can only get what is sneaked out. He is amazing. I wish I had stayed as healthy !
Anyone whose ever seen "Black Adder" should very well know who Tony Robinson is!
I watch everything that Tony Robinson does. He's a great presenter and his videos are also so interesting and full of information.
@@roymerritt6992 Not to mention 20 years of "Time Team" and countless other documentary series, both in the UK and Australia.
Strangest of all, he was the second Artful Dodger in "Oliver" in the West End (the British equivalent of Broadway).
I’m surprised as well! I’ve been a fan of his for many years...and I’m in Portland, Oregon USA! There are more of his documentaries on Amazon Prime Video; if you have Amazon Prime the majority of them are free IMS. Actually, the sheer number of documentaries they have on Prime Video has been worth the price of membership for me.
The Last Remaining Moderate I love “Time Team”! I enjoy many documentaries, and I like many presenters such as Dan Jones (whose books I also enjoy), Lucy Hale & Susannah Lipscomb. But there is just something about Sir Tony’s work that always has me coming back for more. The joy and wonder he experiences-and lets us experience it with him-is just a pleasure to watch. He never talks down to you, always finds a good laugh or two, and just seems to truly enjoy the work. I saw on IMDB that he’s recently done a series “Around the World by Train with Tony Robinson” that I am definitely going to have to look for now (if anyone reading this has seen it, I’d love to know your thoughts!)
Sir Tony, I've watched you for nearly 30 years and you are as timeless as the Moers themselves. You have given us so much history over the years and I thank you! Keep traveling my friend, keep traveling!
Hello Tony from the USA! I’m so happy that I discovered you during quarantine. Stay well dear friend.
Just watching this reminds me how much I love Tony. He's such a great presenter.
Tony Robinson is such a hero. No one person has taught me as much about archeology or made me more interested in archeology, than Tony.
As an American living in Upstate New York, documentaries like this make me so endlessly envious of Britons especially, and really just Europeans in general. I mean, all Americans with European ancestry have the same history as Europeans of European ancestry, but people who live in Europe are living _amongst_ it! It's all right there! You can physically access it much more easily. I would die to see these places in person. The place that I live is just so young. All of my country's archaeological history exists in the depth of topsoil you guys remove to start accessing yours! That's just wild.
It does seem so, yet there are so many places that haven't been investigated. How about the Great Serpent Mound, for example? It's vast, and has barely been looked at. And there are smaller mounds all over the central and eastern states. And notice how long it took for the astounding ancient Mayan city centres to be unearthed. Maybe they all need an enthusiastic New World Tony Robinson to share his excitement and waken interest after some findings have been bruited about? Tony is a Pied Piper, isn't he!?
It is sad there was insufficient time to spend with all the guests as I was fascinated by their perception and stories. Mr. Robinson is a wonderful presenter thank you.
Your manner of presentation makes me feel like you're sharing all this wonderful history just for me... very well spoken, God Bless and much love from the Oklahoma Grandma
Sharon Byers - he’s a natural. Nothing forced or rehearsed. He’s the man. 👍🏼
Oklahoma City here! Small world! I just love Sir Tony
He can't hear you
Every time I watch one of Tony Robinson's presentations I learn something new. He truly is a British treasure. Well Met, Sir!
Tony must have the healthiest heart and lungs-he's been walking for years!
I love the theme music of this program. Absolutely beautiful.
I love this episode, it's a treat to find there are more Tony Robinson / Time Team -esque programs I hadn't seen. Thanks so much for this upload.
Every one in this series is just staggering. So much information but presented so pleasantly, so conversationally, like having a chat. Brilliant!
The opening and closing soundtrack is absolutely gorgeous
At home having tea, listening to Mr. T. Robinson as he visits such interesting places with equally intriguing stories as my itching ears, (that is my sons and mine) clamor together to hear more.
Marc T. Hernández after reading this comment I decided to put the vid on pause, brew some good English tea oh yes that’s good yes and have a smoke as I continue with my very good and very British documentary oh yes very well yes that is good yes very British and very saucy and smashing yes
The story about the bull was EPIC!! Serves him right for destroying history.
The Pagans' reverence for the land and nature is lovely. So glad to have historians preserving the monoliths. ❤️
Wish I had known about this path when I visited Buckfast Abbey in 1994. This is fascinating.
Buckfast Abbey is a wonderful Catholic abbey!
Haven’t even finished it and I’m already impressed. The host is perfect! Thanks 👏🏽
Have u watched his worst jobs series?
Thank-you Sir Tony! I've always enjoyed your films but, some how, this one takes the cake!
I am not particularly a Sherlock Holmes fan, but I remember reading The Hound of the Baskervilles at 1:00 in the morning on a hot summer's night when I couldn't sleep. I scared myself pretty bad. Fun to see the Dartmoor looks like in the daylight. And the hound is magnificent!
Best BBC host , and a fantastic series
My happy place is watching history videos because it brings everything into perspective. This Timeline channel is fantastic.
THANK YOU, Mr. Robinson. We loved you as "Blackadder's" Dogsbody Baldrick and we love you still for your intellect, your curiosity and for sharing them with the rest of us. Cheers!
Tony Baggins.
This one episode is more Tolkien than the entirety of Jackson's Hobbit trilogy. I'd love to see more Timeteam episodes like this one, more of an adventure than an archeological dig.
The place reminds me one of my past life, being a knight died alone in a freezing hill with no help arrive. Good thing, some still preserve, nice place to visit, thanks, good luck to your next journey.
Awesome documentary, I'd heard about this but didn't have this level of knowledge. Thank you for doing this...
Great way to get your miles in, wish I could have been there with you! But i was! Thanks Tony, like your documentaries, please don't stop.😎
@coinínbán Your post is useless, as it wouldn't have created this documentary if I went to perform a "google search".
Moron.
Tony is as energetic as ever
What's wrong with his face🤔
@@intermodus2180 nothing... What's wrong with your brain??
@@MuscarV2 I was being serious...but I know you weren't, because I'ma Mora smata thana you
Makes me want to go and hike there. My late husband was from London. My ancestors came from all over Britain. Bishop's Nympton Tony!
This series is an absolute treasure ❤
Thank you, Sir Tony for yet another captivating and enchanting documentary
Every word Tony utters is poetic.
This is amazing and extraordinary, I really enjoyed this. Thank you. ❤
I would love to be able to walk where Tony walked.
Ohhh....ME TOO! (in my dreams)
It made me think, that if I ever moved back to the UK, I would do just that.
I would love to walk with Tony where he walked
if only I had the stamina to walk those distances...
Mr.Tony Robinson is a great historian as always, keep safe and healthy sir
Tony you do such wonderful work...!
Perfect escapism. I could watch these all day every day. I wonder what it is, exactly, that I'm escaping from.
Okee Dokee your soul
Okee Dokee ...Could it be lockdown escapism?
Looked up the song Old Lych Way and it's pretty darned good.
just incredible and extraordinary! Thank you!
There is a special place in heaven for Tony
You had me smiling at "Pixie Day". Thank you. I really needed that!
Outstanding presentation. Thank you Tony!
It's like getting relaxation therapy watching this. Wonderful.
Reading the other comments, I seem to be on my own in not being able to abide Tony Robinson. It was the subject matter which enticed me - a place which I thought I knew but apparently do not. Thank you Mr Robinson, your journey was fascinating.
Great Show, very amazing Documentary. All Thumbs up👍👍👍Greetings from Germany😎✌
This was such an interesting documentary! Thank you for posting this! I really enjoyed it!
This was really well done. Brought the history to life for the screen for us. Thank you so much!
Brilliant, thanks for keeping this available.
Oooow! He reminds me of my babies long gone. My 2 beautiful brindle English Mastiffs. I miss them terribly. Seeing that big boy brought a tear to my eye, well more than one if I'm honest.
I would have loved to hear more of that historian's song. He has a great voice.
Thank you so much for your wonderful documentaries! I love all of them! Greets from Austria
I love this. Thank you for making it available.
He is an amazing energetic presenter, but i can't get over the fact he just left that woman speechless when he suddenly walked off 34:08 hilarious!
can we get a 10 hour marathon special of Tony playing with dogs??? i feel like thats all i want after seeing him with his "hound of the baskervilles"
I enjoyed the tour and I really liked the folk music and song!
Thank you I throughly enjoyed this video .
what a fabulous series....
Love this series ❤️
Love ❤ sir Tony, what a guy!
Great show! Thanks
This sort of great program makes me miss my home everyday the people ofGB should be great full for not only all the beauty of their country but the makings of such programs.
I love this guy tony Robinson, I love all British tv hosts. Mike loades, Stephen fry, that guy who did the promo for Rome 2 total war shooting the scorpion yelling out “MARVELOUS!!”, christopher hitchens
28:28 - Tony relives a Time Team moment. Would not have been surprised to see Phil digging a trench.
How long does it take to do the entire walk? Do you pass through any villages?
I would love to know the answer to this question too. Other walks by Sir Tony Robinson have links to the maps to follow.
I would love to take a walking adventure there, thank you!
Dartmoor is an amazing place, my family tree goes back over 1000 years there.
I've fallen for the "hound". He's gorgeous.
Wonderful documentary AND a cute pup?? Perfection
This is a wonderful series; please correct the sound though, I had to keep turning it up and down as his voice faded and came back.
Welcome back , Toni 🍻🍻👏👏🇨🇮🇨🇮
Fabulous!
This is a much better setting for Sir Anthony Robinson. I like him much better as a story teller of history then I do seeing him trying to match wit with the professional archeologists on Time Team. Continue safely on your travels Sir Anthony!
Tony is definitely very energetic wonder how much he actually walked
Beautiful
The profound influence of this material is evident. A book I read with similar insights was a transformative adventure. "Temporal Echoes: Amelia's Odyssey Through Ancestral Shadows" by Vivian Rosewood
Nice!
woo how delightful! historical injustice becoming pleasant stories 1000 years later. I would wonder how wonderful this sad world would sound 1000 years later. :P
God I'd like to try walking that. I say I'd probably manage at least a mile or two before giving up.
38:00 interesting as there is a town near me called lychfield.
Oh Tony, hope you'll live 100 years!
Pretty sure the music that starts at 4:06 is the "medieval theme" they used to use on early episodes of Time Team. The TT version was more upbeat and played on pipes, but fairly sure it's the same tune. Anyone know what it is?
I wonder how many lost treasures are still buried on that road....a coin...a belt buckle...a piece of clothing...who knows! Thanks for sharing.
How old is that líquen on the cross, at 37:01?
If you all love Tony in this, please watch Time Team. He's an absolute treasure
Long Live Tony!!!!
"Pixies and prisoners share the pages with standing stones and Sherlock Holmes".
Poetic and poignant.
Does anyone know the title of the opening and closing soundtrack?
I love the singing by the monks Abby.
I laughed out loud when the peasants started singing that guy's blues song at the end
OH GEEZE HAHAHA I JUST WATCHED BLACKADDER
TONY?? NEXT TO MR. BEAN?? AND HUGH LAURIE?? I’M YELLING
I hope he does Scottish borders soon.
Lych does sound pretty similar to the current Norwegian word for a dead body: "Lik", pronounced like you would say "leek".
Or the German word for corpse = LEICHE. English is after all also a Germanic langauge as Norwegian is. Stay well in These times!
I can’t believe tony wasn’t like “ shuttup about the stupid song !”
Would love to roam the moore one day.
what a beutiful un spoiled place, with wild ponies, cool :)
A heavy rope is not what you want to measure depths it would coil on the bottom. A light rope heavy weight the rope stops feeding when the weight hits bottom
I really wish they would have at least tested the crazy well pool to see if they 16ft was a lie or not. It would have been relatively easy to delve 16ft
More on Pixie Day please?
Love this but im getting ads every 5 minutes... quite annoying
Try RUclips Premium, advert-free, and don't grouse about it.
Ad blocker.
@@robynw6307 Yup!
🤔 Really makes you reconsider your opinions about the outcomes of the second great-war.....
Tony should have been an actor in the Hobbit Movies. Perfect fit.
Baldrick tho 😤👍
