Tony Robinson's Time Walks | S2E2 | Launceston

LAUNCESTON
The northern Tasmanian town of Launceston was once a colonial powerhouse, home to explorers, farmers, businessmen and entrepreneurs. Its star may have waned, but Tony’s walk proves that if you know where to look you can travel from ancient Aboriginal history through to modern-day people power….and it takes less than a day.

Sad that Birchalls has closed its doors. Used to get most of my school stationary from their store

[@AdamCollings]

Brilliant. I love the history of our city. But so sad to see Birchalls.

Had a holiday in Tassie. Awesome place. Great series, Tony.

[@rodneymcgiveron]

Awesome....Love every episode of Tme Walks....Birchall's book store closed fairly recently unfortunately ...Bit sad to think that when Tony filmed this episode it was still operating as Australia's oldest book store but not so soon after...

19:16 THE BEANBAGS! I REMEMBER THOSE FROM WHEN I WAS A KID! But they got rid of them sadly. I seem to remember that there was a weird rumour things where they apparently made noises but I don't think they did. Oh, the nostalgia.

[@traceyhiggins5664]

Thanks so much Tony. I’m deciding where in Tazzie I want to retire. Launceston or Hobart. Still deciding

[@marysdanceworld6066]

As someone who has lived in both I would go with Hobart for sure! The landscape with the city being in between the mountain and river is breathtaking.

Love your shirt right at the end

I ate my grub. It had been cooked in sand. I put it in my mouth and gave a couple of chews. I had the overwhelming feeling that if I didn't swallow then I would spit it out. But I did swallow it. It had a gritty outside and a soft center and I knew I was about to swallow something that was not food. There was an aboriginal man watching and having a good laugh.

After all your walking, at least you found the best footy team! ;-)

STAY IN THE BOOOOAT😆

[@ErgonBill]

Or you could pronounce it, 'Lonny' as the locals do.

[@Wotdermatter]

Tony, what the hell are you talking about? Your birthplace was Homerton, London which is in the South-East of England. How come you say you are from the South-West of England? Or, have you relocated to Cornwall without telling anybody? 'nuf sed.

[@2CraftySeniors]

Tony doesn't say he was 'raised' in southwest England. He says he 'comes from' southwest England. He's talking about where he lives, not where he was born or grew up. He lives in Bristol, which is in southwest England.

brother even when you're saying it "right" you're saying it wrong

[@robspunk]

Shit'ole

[@bristow-smithquentin8691]

Tony and his woke friends

[@skop5686]

How is it woke?

[@freiduumforall8843]

@@skop5686 He's a socialist and an actor...prime qualities for wokeism unfortunately......apart from that he's probably a great bloke and a good educator.

[@johnmilligan6605]

Almost all men of his age from his background are socialists and rightfully proud of it!

[@needaman66]

Cant watch on tv but can watch on phone "uoloader has not made this video available in your country"???? This is my country. Unsubscribing

[@rdownie.6698]

That's crazy! They force their history on the world and no one else can do likewise?
