The Bloody Batavia Shipwreck Massacre | Tony Robinson's Time Walks | Absolute History
Tony Robinson brings his inquisitive storytelling approach to Australia's diverse suburbs and towns. His mission is to uncover the hidden history that lies behind, below, and above the places, we walk every day. In each episode, we find a different postcode laden with stories. They're all established walks that tourists and locals frequently do, but Tony digs deeper to draw out the drama of the past. He'll roam through the streets and lane-ways; divulging the tales of crimes, recounting acts of bravery, notable characters, and showdowns that have shaped the area.

De Batavia- replica vond ik er mooi uit zien toen ik de Batavia werf in de Flevopolder bezocht. De presentatie op deze video vind ik echt leuk gedaan.
I did appreciate the sound fxs of the battle reenactment. Especially the rope sound at the end. Somebody had to put those into the film. Just brilliant.
I've yet to see Alice Loxton in a single one of these episodes... 🤔

Love???? Fun ??? Or most likely uneducated
Got to say Tony's been doing this for quite a while and I give him top marks for consistency nothing has changed about this man in like 20 years other than his hairline
Ill give him points for wearing the all black classic vans in the intro, he knows whats up
Thank you for this video ! 😊🌻
"The history of this place is amazing, it all started way back in 1970..." XD
Absolute enjoy watching this series. Hope you do more. I've watched all of Time Team series and hope they bring it back with Tony as it's commentator. I know some of the cast are no longer alive, and was saddened to hear they were gone.
This guy is awesome haha never watched his shows before but I love him so far. Very educational too! This looks like such a cool place to live actually. That guys street art at 19:01 is really cool!

Tony Robinson is a comedian who played a starring role in Blackadder alongside Rowan Atkinson (Mr Bean), and the presenter on an archaeology TV show called Time Team for 20 years. He's a wonderful person!

What a phenomenal guy. 🥰
Rather inaccurate precis of events - particularly identifying the senior merchant (not the captain - he was a mutineer) as the hero Surely it was the soldier who led the defense against the mutineers who was the hero if anyone was
Free history documentaries that we can get a discount for? Do you think we're all mad ?
Concerning Tony's intro how rough and tough that land was and how nobody in their right mind would come there out of their free will: it might have been so in the previous centuries from the convicts' perspective. Nowadays I am saving money to travel to Australia when the pandemy is over, and - considering I'm not a millionaire and can't fly all over the continent and stay for a full month or so - I'd go RIGHT THERE (or somewhere in the vicinity) because I don't care about the whole man-made stuff and crowds of people in big cities. I want to see the whales and then I could just as well die.

"the scum of the earth, the convicts" ahh yes, the convicts that were shipped off to a new country because they stole a loaf of bread trying to feed their starving family in an imperialist monarchy.
If Australia was made by just English prisoners being cast away there, I wonder how their dialect changed 🧐
You should fact check before uploading these videos, that ship was not blown off course, it was ran aground intentionally

actualy the story in the book tells about having mistake rocks for waves in the water with moonlight sparkling on them.
Pity the real history re Batavia isn’t quite correct…sanitised for tv
What an obnoxious character.
