Sir Tony Robinson, actor, presenter, historical expert and star of Blackadder and Time Team, is set to make his adult fiction debut, so we couldn’t not bring him to Farsley Lit Fest 2025. With stories from his remarkable career and his passion for history, we can’t wait for Tony to introduce us to The House of Wolf; an earthy, entertaining and gloriously witty tale of the Anglo-Saxons, Alfred the Great, and the making of England. We’re keen to hear behind-the-scenes stories from his well-known TV shows, as well as how he found writing his first novel at 78! With the chance ask your questions and a post-show signing, this is set to be a night of brilliant storytelling, laughs and history with a twist. Sir Tony Robinson is one of Britain's foremost faces of popular history through presenting 20 seasons of Channel 4's archaeology series Time Team and as the creator of the worldwide icon Baldrick in Blackadder. In a varied and international career, he has won two RTS awards, a BAFTA and the International Prix Jeunesse. He started out at the age of 13 in Oliver! and has gone on to enjoy a long acting career in theatre, TV drama and sitcom, and an acclaimed presenting career of documentary and factual television. He is the author of over 30 children's books and several adult non-fiction books, including an autobiography, No Cunning Plan. An ambassador for the Alzheimer's Society since 2008, Sir Tony received a knighthood in the Queen's Birthday Honours 2013.
