Tony Robinson's World by Rail

Tony's journey across India and Burma begins in India's mega capital Delhi, where he visits one of the city's oldest markets: Chandni Chowk. Before dashing off he joins locals in a spectacular ritual, feeding thousands of birds that migrate from Siberia to Delhi each winter. Crammed on a sleeper train on one of the busiest railway networks in the world, he races towards the foothills of the Himalayas in Northern India. He tests the Himalayan Mountain Railway, an engineering miracle built by the Brits that was originally used for transporting tea down the mountains, before heading to Burma.

This time, Tony is travelling up Australia's Gold Coast by train from Sydney to Cairns. On this incredible journey, he'll experience everything that Australia has to offer, from a bizarre festival dedicated to the Aussie camp oven in the outback, to herding camels by low flying helicopter, unwinding in a bath under the stars, and excavating a rare dinosaur graveyard. At a turtle sanctuary, Great Barrier Reef, Tony helps release an 80-year-old green sea turtle back into the world, and later comes face-to-face with a python hiding in the back of a suburban garage.
