Hear behind-the-scenes stories from Time Team, Blackadder, 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.
Plus, each evening Tony will be joined by a special guest, making this a night of brilliant storytelling, big laughs, and history with a twist—all delivered by a man who’s always had… a cunning plan.
