Learning history with Tony Robinson
By Carol Duncan (Presenter - 1233 ABC Newcastle)
Tony Robinson talks about how to encourage a community to care about its history.
Tony Robinson is perhaps best known to an older generation of television viewer as Baldrick from Blackadder, but to younger generations he's known as the guy leading archaeological digs on Time Team or the poor unfortunate host up to his knees in a tank of urine in Worst Jobs In History (that story was about tanning hides for leather).
In December, 2011, Tony was filming in Australia for his series Tony Robinson's Time Walks in which he visits cities to reveal their history.
Carol Duncan caught up with him in Cathedral Park, what was Newcastle's first burial ground at Christ Church Cathedral
to find out how we can continue to encourage people to care about their local history.
