Haha! Watching him run in circles with a blue balloon is adorable and hilarious!
so tragic the poor dear 😭
Adorable no, hilarious maybe
Oh poor Shirley. Losing two of your bairn like that. So horrific.
I was part of the Burke & Wills Expedition in my 5th year history class. I was Burke while my schoolmate was Wills, we had to perform a little act in front of the class. I pretend to die after eating a handful of almonds that were meant to represent the bad seeds he was eating. Then once both of us played dead my friend played a didgeridoo, it was hilarious.
Why do these titles apply to 20% of the video? Why not split up the videos or make more applicable titles? Most of it's interesting it doesn't make sense to me why it's done this way, quite sure you'd get more views. By attracting people interested in subjects not in the title. Also better visibility in search results.
So Burke was a 39 year old man obsessed with a 17 year old... aaaah how times haven't changes
I was in Christchurch literally the day before the first quake in 2010. They knew a "big one" was overdue, but nobody was expecting it to be in Christchurch. (Apparently they didn't even know there was a fault line there.) I returned a few weeks later to catch my flight home and seeing the aftermath was surreal.
What made the second Christchurch earthquake so much deadlier than the first, was the time it struck! the first hit when everyone was home in bed, the second hit during the day when everyone was at work.
Enjoyed (not the right word) the Christchurch segment. I lived through it, and like that this snapshot has been taken of what it was like.

I kind of thought I was going to watch an interesting video about an expedition... based upon the title... the way it flits around, It's confusing and hard to follow.
I will say I did genuinely and immensely enjoy the guy twirling around with the balloon. 10/10.
Tony is awesome!
I love watching Tony!!! 😁
Right?! These videos wouldn’t be the same without him!
You would think that they would at least hire a guide with more experience for the expedition.
Yessssss love a new upload🥰🥰🥰

What a pleasant chap you are Sir, very informative, entertaining and very human, thank you for your great channel!!!🙏👍👻
Love this channel! I’m curious about the tidal wave footage and where that came from.
If its the footage at 24:44 you mean, then its cgi. I dont know what city it is, but the wave is definitely fake.
This little man is a knight then, right?
Thank you for this video ! 😊🌺
Shirley - what heartache 💔 😪
We love you Baldrick!
Is there a list of every video and work Tony has done?
happy new year
I am so, so sorry Shirley.
I love your channel but I wish you’d focus on one story per video. Other wise it’s kinda confusing to get many topics at once or not getting a lot of info of certain stories.
10:05 the dude will regret tasting it because the poison in it is explained to him right after he eats it. 😂
Thanks for uploading these, but you need to post accurate titles.
The ones with Ruth are my favorite :)
Don’t encourage ppl to take in calculated risks . Disasters must be avoided. There is no glory in meeting a disaster
Its weird that the other former colonies kept so much Britishness. We dont have any Tony Robinson here in the states.
How on Earth is there so much content all the time?
All people have stories honey. Al people.
@@famprima not sure if you’re trying to be demeaning, but my comment was in respect to the quantity of quality content. Obviously all people experience life and have a story to tell, so please don’t try to shame me with this nonsense reply.
@@TheCatsofVanRaptor - I think this is a TV channel that's been making documentaries for years? from what I understand they are uploading episodes from over the years, I could be wrong though! :)
I wonder if the other commenter maybe assumed you meant "how are there so many of these stories??" and I wonder that myself too sometimes, haha. Like, how are we so fortunate to have had so many of these tales survive?? They could have so easily been lost to time. And it makes me sad thinking about all the tales that are lost that we will never know :c
With a supply like that , they were doomed to fail ..obviously not study anything at all as to survival .
Were they merchants or was all that bs supposed to be part of their gear?
Anybody else here learn about this event from The Dollop?
Nope, it just came on when I was asleep, and now I don't want to get up...
The aussies today could definitely take a leaf out of their own book 45 years ago.
Very slow start .
History doesn't change, Baldric. That's why it's called history. 🙄
Sir history changes depending on which side is telling the story.
If u think ‘history doesn’t change’
Maybe u should see what edition of history books the highschool is on
I'm confused about the beginning warning for possible deaths being talked about , given to aboriginals
Its part of their belief system. It has something to do with seeing photos of other aboriginal people who have died. Im NOT an expert & am probably getting a whole lot wrong, but it has something to do with that.
The Australian Aborigines no longer use the name of the deceased (in some areas they even change the names of the living if they share a name with the recently deceased), nor do they look upon their images.
Maybe the reason the Burke and Wills Expedition failed was because they didn't bring enough strait jackets (for Caucasians).

Fascinating! So Lewis and Clark succeeded in North America where the Ozzies failed on their huge island. I guess it comes down to competent leadership and local knowledge!
Burke and Wills were not the only explorers. When I was a kid there was an entire television season talking about all of them. Burke and Wills were the Scott of the Antarctic of Australia. The Roald Amundsen of Australia was John McDouall Stuart, the bloke the highway from Port Augusta to Darwin is named after.
