The Thames: Britain's Great River with Tony Robinson [DVD]

Brought as a gift

Very interesting, love a bit of history

Whether it be British countryside, Australian city centres, Tony Robinson is ine of the best at doing this sort of programme.In this series, he travels the length of the Thames, from source to sea, introducing us to people who live and work on the river.We discover its geography, history, ecology, technology and learn Tony's own connections to Old Father Thames.The four episodes cover rural landscapes, towns and palaces, locks and weirs, industrial and post industrial aspects of the River.There's something for everyone.

Disappointing as although he used a lot of different means of transport I felt there was a huge amount of the river he missed there are about 5points of it be finds something to talk about between the source of the Thames and London.

A brilliant tv series so I was so pleased that it was available on dvd. Tony Robinson was very informative and walked the length of The Thames with information on many diverse aspects of river life, taking part in many of these himself on his travels. Hugely enjoyable and would recommend.

Two documentaries about the UK;will have to wait and seewhat they, re like!

Great stuff. Definitely comes with English HOH subtitles.

IT was bought as a present for an elderly man who just loves London and the river Thames.
