Tony Robinson Explores Australia

Tony Robinson (played Baldrick in the Black Adder series with Rowan Atkinson), explores the history of settlement in Australia from its humble beginnings as a dumping ground for British criminals.

The authority of the penal government is repeatedly questioned by convicts and soldiers; we also look at solitary confinement in Port Arthur. Tony also finds out that he gas a skeleton in his familys closet.

Tony explores why Australias need for migrants leads to bounties for human cargo from the UK and Ireland; immigration and multiculturalism.
