From Baldrick to Alfred the Great - Sir Tony Robinson: having fun with history

From Saturday Morning, 8:10 am today

Sir Tony Robinson is perhaps best known for playing dogsbody Baldrick in British sitcom Blackadder.

But that's just one highlight of his 50 year acting career, from his first outing on stage in a West End performance of Oliver! to digging on TV for archaeological clues on Time Team.

In his latest venture, Sir Tony is making the past come alive with shows in Auckland and Christchurch in February.
