You gotta respect Tony for actually doing all these things and not just talking about them
-
Note to the producers who put this on YT: the background music often competes with what Tony is saying, the volume balance is out of whack. Great program (thanks Tony!) but the sound is distracting.
-
Unreal having to poke around in a bog for iron ore. We are such delicate little flowers nowadays.
-
I’m in love with T.R. His documentary on the Peasant’s Revolt really makes you rethink everything you have ever learned in school.
-
Awesome. Every "prepper" needs to contemplate this.
-
I’m American and Tony Robinson is the best presenter I’ve seen in my country or anywhere else in the world. I wish he’d come here and do a program on the English/American connection
-

-
I thank the Father daily for being born now. Wouldn't cut it i that real world. Thank you for bringing this show.

-
I'm so thankful for indoor plumbing, electricity and toilet paper
-
Tony Robinson is such a great presenter! 🥰

Its amazing to see how the locals never adopted any roman way, it shows you it was a very brutal occupation, they taught them nothing, just took and took
-
Mad respect for Tony! He really commits. I couldn't do any of those jobs. Our ancestors were unbelievably tough
-
Thanks very much for this very important information that almost nobody know about including probably reputable historians!!!
-
The egg collecting = Extreme Easter Egg Hunt

*Thoroughly enjoying your excellent videos!!!!!

40:50. Now I know why my Norwegian nephew at age 19 is 6'5" 315lbs
-
I can't complain about my job after watching this, have high respect for him, and after watching the video, I really like to try at least one of the village jobs to get a good feel out of it
