    Tony Robinson could talk about arthritis in the knee joints of the common cockroach and make it seem fascinating. His choice of words, his humour make any subject come alive. I absolutely adore his programmes. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

    I love how Sir Tony doesn't just talk about the glaciers but also about how geologists discovered their effects.  He is such a great communicator.  And, of course, a National Treasure!

    As an american, I'd only ever known Tony Robinson as Baldrick, and never bothered to look beyond that role. Wow, I am so impressed with these docs and his brilliance as host...bravo Sir Tony!

    He's a lovely guy. In a previous career I was Head of Revenue Protection for First Greaet Western Trains, and known as a bit of a diplomatic chap who could smoothe away problems caused by soi-dissant customer service bods who alienated our customers at every available opportunity btw.. Anyway, was asked to escort Tony down to Exmouth in the train and make sure nobody did anything stupid like not recognise his complimentary pass and cause an incident. He was great. Like 2 hours with Baldrick from Blackadder. That guy can tell a joke. 2 of the best hours I ever spent with a customer. Absolutely hilarious and captivating. This was  a reecce for Time Team and he was like, "Oh no! But we received him, a pleasure to be part of  it  for me. Love this guy.

    The man is undeniably a genius. To turn interests and passions into a completely different career and taking a large number of people along for the ride can only be described as genius.<br>Thank you, Sir Tony, you definitely earned your &quot;gong&quot;. Bravo!

    I really enjoy Tony Robinson. &nbsp; Between Time Team and his historical documentaries I think he&apos;s really fabulous.

    Took me a while to figure out what Tony was talking about: Glaciers! In the US, we say GLAY-sures. In the UK, you say GLA-see-ass. To paraphrase Winston, US and UK: Two people separated by a common language!

    AWSOME, Tony Robinson that was interesting. I&apos;m being to think of you as instructor Robinson. Between Time Team, and your documentaries I am enjoying all the new information about old stuff. Nature, History, Archeology, and Geologically. &nbsp;Topics that are rewarding to learn about.<br>Thank you!

    This is an excellent science program. We get to the point very quickly rather than the dragged out narrative that we often get in so-called preeminent science and technical video stories.

    Always amazes me how they manage to find so few people with Scottish accents when they come to Scotland.
