Tony Robinson

Sir Tony Robinson, the actor and broadcaster, shares the music that shaped his life; from Billie Holiday to Randy Newman.

Sir Tony Robinson is a multi-hyphenate; an actor, comedian, broadcaster and author whose career has, so far, spanned 50 years.

He’s probably best-known for playing turnip-brained Baldrick (who always had 'a cunning plan) in the iconic TV show Blackadder, and his twenty-year stint fronting Channel 4’s Time Team, a series inspired by own his passion for digging deep into the past, to understand the present.

His new podcast series β€œCunningcast”, which sees him take the long view on the big stories of the day, is available now.

Music:
Inherited: The Man I Love by Billie Holiday
Pass on: Short People by Randy Newman

Producers: Ben Mitchell and Ribika Moktan
