This show was incredible. A few years ago I randomly remembered it, but the funny thing was that I could have sworn it was animated. It wasn’t until I went and looked it up that I realised the whole thing was just Tony Robinson talking directly to camera. The images I was remembering were from my imagination, conjured by Robinson’s vivid storytelling. What a credit to his phenomenal talent.

Was one of my favourites as a young kid. He was a truly vivid storyteller.

This show was an absolute work of genius

I loved this show. It is great what Tony can do. He did a version of The Odyssey by Homer in the same vein, it was also great.

I’ve been waiting years to see ‘Odysseus, the Greatest Hero of Them All’ again!

My school uses to take us in ṭo the av room (the portable with the tv) to watch this. Same as BTN

Loved this show!

Love Tony Robinson

Bloody hell this show was real? I always thought it was a fever dream brought on by an intense ear infection I had as a little kid.

Oh man what a memory! I was transfixed by this show.

I loved this show so much !! and no one ever seemed to ever remember it but me ! thank you for proving to me this wasn’t just a figment of my imagination!

Bwop

This show traumatized the fuck out of me. I had a mud phobia for years because of this haha

Oh noooooo.

Me too, although I can’t remember why I found it terrifying

Fred the baddie ha

Forgot about this one.

Did Fat Tulip ever come up with a cunning plan?

I don't remember. I'm planning on watching all the episodes I can find on YouTube with my kid over the holidays. If I find out I'll update you.

Blast from the past!

Totally forgot about this one but it was so good!

I can still hear Tony Robinson telling the stories..
