Tony Robinson's Tour of Duty

Newcastle (1x2)

Air date: Apr 07, 2015

Welcome to Newcastle, an industrial city which is justifiably proud of its last hundred years of war service. So proud in fact, Tony uncovers a never-before-revealed plan to ensure no intruders would ever take the beloved city from their hands. There's an air aid shelter that doubled as a beer cellar, and a historic flag in desperate need of restoration. The town arrives in numbers to the Community Roadshow with extraordinary war artefacts in tow. Tony has the honour of meeting a survivor of one of the most tragic events in Australia's POW history, and after more than fifty years, two brothers hear the spirit of their father again. This gritty city has a spirit that can't be beaten.
