About this episode

The episode revisits an interview with Sir Tony Robinson, exploring his career and recent book launch.

We have a cunning plan! Every week we dive into our archive of almost 500 episodes to bring you some gems from the past EIGHT years. Today - it's one of the great entertainers. Whether you first saw Tony as Baldrick in Blackadder, or as the passionate presenter of Time Team, or whether you read one of his (many) children's books Tony's been an ever-present on our screens for generations. As he launches a new book at the Hay Festival this week we thought it was a great time to revisit this episode from 2023. Cheers! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
