After Dinner Speakers: Tony Robinson, Hermann Hauser, Michael Buerk

Tony was born in London in 1946 just after World War II. Always interested in acting he made his stage debut aged 12 in the original production of the musical Oliver. At first he was one of Fagin's gang, but when the Artful Dodger didn't turn up one day Tony got the part. When he grew up he went to the Central School of Speech and Drama where he learned to act. Since then he's been in over 1,000 T.V. programmes - most famously as Baldrick, the useless servant who is always comming up with stupid plans. But one plan of his that wasn't stupid was the idea to have a T.V. show about archaeology. Although Tony admits it could have been, "Several live programmes about a rather large, empty, hole in the ground."
