No current picture available of Tony Robinson.

Former designer for Alta and engineer for Cooper and Stirling Moss. In 2012, Tony released a book of his life, The Biography of a Race Mechanic. Tony is an upbeat, positive fellow who was hugely instrumental to Cooper and Moss' success through his quiet endeavour to get the car set-up just right. He also helped save Stirling's life after the Goodwood crash in 1962, as he helped remove Moss from the car using his hacksaw, knowing the car more than the average person might've done. Tony also worked as a mechanic at Maserati and as an engineer and designer at BRP, but also frequently worked with Stirling Moss, his father and Alf Francis on a range of different projects. Robinson is also an associate member of the British Racing Driver's Club. Robinson has also worked in the property industry, ran an ice-cream business and also ran both a garage and a pub. Tony, when working with Bruce Halford's private Maserati 250F attempts in Grand Prix racing was Bruce's mechanic, transporter driver, cook and pretty much anything else required. Although Darlington born, Tony spent many years in Neasden. He worked on the family farm rather than do much education but when his mother and father divorced, Tony moved to Neasden with his mother and sister in 1942. A great fan of motorcycles and speedway, Tony worked as a mechanic in the engine shop of Neasden dealer Godfrey Davies, before Robinson had to do National Service. After this was over, he worked, again in Neasden for a glass supplier to the building trade. However, the owner of this business was a chap called Dave Price, who competed in rallies and trials and Tony helped him. After leaving racing in 1961, Tony took over his father-in-law's ice cream business before running a restaurant. He later also worked for Cavendish Motors as a service reception manager and has done a few other jobs since then but is now retired.

You made a transition, or rather included, racing car designer to your mechanic role. How did this come about?

Exploring Military History

Wednesday 1 april 2015, tony robinson's tour of duty, 3 comments:.

Hi Vicki, Thanks for torturing those of us who don't have History Channel! Sounds very interesting. I wonder if my local library might get it on DVD eventually?

Tony Robinson also currently has a different program on SBS on Wednesdays at 7.30 - Tony Robinson's WWI

Yes, I found that very interesting and will keep my eye on it. Another interesting program airs again tonight at 7.30 pm on 7 Two, which is "The Great War: The People's Story" . The first episode was terrific.

Tony Robinson’s Tour of Duty premiere

The History Channel’s Tony Robinson’s Tour of Duty will launch on March 31 at 7.30pm aest, in the lead up to the pinnacle of the Centenary of Service commemorations, Anzac Day 2015.

Hosted by legendary actor, comedian, historian and television host Sir Tony Robinson, this fascinating new 10 x 60 minute series is part of the channel’s ongoing programming slate to commemorate the Centenary of Service and honours the 100 years of service for those who fought in the war, from WWI to the present day.

Tony Robinson’s Tour of Duty focuses on the lives of the people who went to war and those who stayed at home, both heroes and ordinary people – and gives audiences a unique opportunity to appreciate the collective sentiment about the Centenary in the hearts and minds of the wider community in Australia and New Zealand.

Throughout the series, Tony travels across towns in Australia and New Zealand to meet the relatives and friends of those who fought in battle and asks local residents to come forward with memories from their family’s role in the many campaigns across a century of service to their countries.

The first part of each episode follows Tony as he explores a new town, telling war and homefront related stories and meeting locals along the way.

The second half features the Tour of Duty roadshow, a community event hosted by Tony in each town, where locals come together to share their family’s stories of wartime, show off some jaw-dropping memorabilia and tell us what Australia going to war means to them in the 21st century.

In Tony Robinson’s Tour of Duty, Tony visits, in order: Toowoomba, Newcastle, Auckland, Hahndorf, Bathurst, Launceston, Ballarat, Dunedin, Darwin and Fremantle.

Toowoomba marks the first stop on Tony Robinson’s Tour of Duty as he explores this charming Queensland town’s military history.

He revisits WWI, meeting the daughter of the first Aboriginal fighter pilot and meets the locals at the Tour of Duty roadshow, discovering some incredible relics including a medical kit from Gallipoli with remedies to make you squirm.

Sir Tony Robinson is best known for his role as ‘Baldrick’ on the cult British comedy series Blackadder, as well as his hosting role on long-running archaeology series Time Team. He was awarded a Knighthood in November 2013 for public and political services.

Tony Robinson’s Tour of Duty follows on from two successful seasons of Tony Robinson’s Time Walks, filmed in Australia and made exclusively for Foxtel’s History Channel.

Tony Robinson’s Tour of Duty is produced by WTFN Entertainment.
