Tony Robinson is not just a treasure to the UK, but a treasure of all humanity for his unabashed and reverent enthusiasm.

There's no better narrator than Tony Robinson...❤

Not being British, I only knew Tony Robinson as Baldrick in Blackadder, however, as I now find out, the man is a walking talking encyclopedia on ancient things. My deepest respect to you, Sir.

[davidcarr]

I sincerely hope that the people of Great Britain know just how deeply privileged they are to have Sir Tony.
Sending everyone a Happy Christmas this December 4th, 2022.

Tony Robinson (Baldrick), how he has turned out. Gaining the title of “Sir” in his unabashed, positive enthusiasm for England and the United Kingdom (warts and all). I would gladly drink a pint with him and his favorite drink at his favorite pub. Know your past, see your future in all its’ intricacies. Thank you, and wishing many more good years to you.

This is a welcome surprise. Tony Robinson is one of the great narrators of documentaries ever.

I'd seen bits of this series before, but not all of it. I started watching this afternoon, but have had to take a few breaks, not to mention accidentally skipping forward at one point, forcing me to figure out where I'd skipped from, but I did it, and continued. If life were different, I'd love to be able to walk these trackways myself...but, between age, health, and being poor, it's impossible. This is about as good as I'm going to get, as far as being able to make the trek...and I'm more than satisfied, especially since I've been a fan of Tony's since Black Adder found it's way to the US many years ago. As much as I have wished that Tony had remained an actor, what he became is so much more memorable and interesting. I hope he lives many more years, and makes more stuff like this.

A wonderful journey, and while I watched it in two parts because I started so late at night, Tony makes it easy to follow in this five and a half hour compilation. Thanks for uploading it.

Britain is such a beautiful country. I would feel so elated to one day visit the timeless beauty of those precious Isles.

As a flint hunter myself, I can tell you that flint is only worthwhile when it's freash. It hardens after a time, (certainly 2, 000yrs) and is quarried and worked from large pieces called core's, that when freash from it's place in the earth. It actually does harden after a time, and is the sharpest thing I've personally seen in blade form. Surprising that is the case, and very, very useful to ancient man.

Sir Tony Robinson is the best narrator there is. I fall asleep listening to the others who are so pompous.

[Moolevalent]

I will never get tired of hearing Baldrick tell stories
