Sir Tony Robinson: From Black Adder to Alfred the Great

Fane Presents

Sir Tony Robinson: From Black Adder to Alfred the Great

Sir Tony Robinson is one of Britain’s best-loved faces on screen, a master storyteller and an award-winning writer, known for creating the iconic Baldrick in Blackadder and presenting 20 seasons of Channel 4’s Time Team.

 Now, Tony celebrates a life on stage and screen – sharing stories from his remarkable career, his passion for history, and his thrilling fiction debut The House of Wolf, an epic tale of Alfred the Great and the bloody birth of England.

 Hear behind-the-scenes stories from Time TeamBlackadder, The Worst Jobs in History and beyond – and have the chance to ask Tony anything, from writing his first novel at 78 to why Baldrick still gets the biggest laughs.

 Drawing on decades of archaeological expertise and his gift for making the past come alive, Tony will reveal the gritty reality behind the legend of Alfred the Great in his latest work.

What was life really like for ordinary people caught between Saxon kings and Viking raiders? How did political scheming in medieval courts compare to today's power struggles? This isn't just historical fiction – it’s Tony’s unique take on the real events that forged our nation.

 This will be a night of brilliant storytelling, big laughs, and history with a twist – all delivered by a man who always had… a cunning plan.
