Editing Tony Robinson (section)

=== Broader history presenting (2001–2012) ===
From 2001, Robinson branched out into other history documentary series, including the series ''Fact or Fiction'' (which debunked historical myths and gave the true story), followed by [[Romans (documentary)|''Romans'']] in 2003 and the highly successful ''[[The Worst Jobs in History]]'' in 2006,  researching and re-enacting some of the more horrible jobs of the past millennium. He also took this show on tour around the country along with an autobiographical question and answer session. This first series was followed by ''The Worst Christmas Jobs in History'' in December 2005 and then a second series of ''The Worst Jobs in History'' on Channel 4 in April 2006.

Following this, he presented one-off specials such as ''[[Britain's Real Monarch]]'' (2004)<ref>{{cite news |last1=Marshall |first1=Chris |title=The 'real' King of England, Mike the first, dies in obscurity in Australia |url=https://www.scotsman.com/news/uk-news/real-king-england-mike-first-dies-obscurity-australia-1619360 |access-date=30 November 2020 |newspaper=[[The Scotsman]] |date=6 July 2012}}</ref> and ''The Real Da Vinci Code'' (2005).<ref>{{cite news |title=On TV |url=https://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/news/6962602.tv/ |access-date=30 November 2020 |newspaper=[[The Northern Echo]] |date=4 February 2005}}</ref>

''Tony Robinson Explores Australia'' was first broadcast in the first half of 2012.

From 10 September 2012, Robinson hosted a series on [[History (Australian TV channel)|History Channel]] called ''[[Tony Robinson's Time Walks]]''. The series uncovers stories that shaped the character of various cities and suburbs around Australia, including [[Fremantle]], [[Melbourne]], [[Hobart]], [[Woolloomooloo]], [[Bendigo]], [[Newcastle, New South Wales|Newcastle]], [[Carlton, Victoria|Carlton]], [[Brisbane]], [[St Kilda, Victoria|St Kilda]], [[Adelaide]], [[Canberra]], [[Kalgoorlie]], [[Townsville]] and [[Launceston, Tasmania|Launceston]].

During October 2012, it was announced that ''Time Team'' would be cancelled after nearly 20 years on television. Tara Conlan from ''[[The Guardian]]'' called the show "television history". When talking about the successful run of the show, Robinson said, "Not many performers are given the privilege of featuring in two iconic TV series—but I've been lucky." The show's ratings were falling, causing [[Channel 4]] to pursue an alternative "innovative" approach to historical documentary programming.<ref name="Channel 4 consigns Time Team to TV history">{{cite news| url=https://www.theguardian.com/media/2012/oct/19/channel-4-time-team | location=London | newspaper=[[The Guardian]] | first=Tara | last=Conlan | title=Channel 4 consigns Time Team to TV history | date=19 October 2012}}</ref>
