| Cunning Night Out Tour DVD | |
 |
So how did a man who made his name as a stinking, turnip-loving simpleton crawling through the trenches in Blackadder, hit the big time grubbing around in the mud trying to locate an Anglo Saxon burial ground in Time Team, before achieving superstar status by rolling up his trousers to wade through urine in the Worst Jobs in History? Packed full of hilarious tales, tender family stories and entertaining historical anecdotes championing the little guy, Tony Robinson's one man comedy show has sold out at venues throughout the UK. An uproarious, fast paced roller-coaster ride through the twists and turns of his life from the Artful Dodger to Baldrick and beyond. Special Features include: a Q&A session with Tony including the 'Blackadder Question' and Any Old Iron? This is due for release on 5th November but is available to pre-order now from Acorn Media UK. A special behind-the-scenes feature with videos, pictures and a clip from the dvd itself is online here Click on the image to see a bigger version. |

| Tony's Laws - ASBO Poster | |
 |
Tony says: "This is a poster we used in 'Tony's Laws' (provisional title), a four-part series on English Law which I'm currently filming at various locations around Britain. In Bridlington, the local council has put up posters similar to this in the town square to name and shame offenders who persistently break their ASBOs, and we shot a scene comparing this policy with the Norman custom of putting wrong-doers in the stocks. I don't yet know when the show will be transmitted but I'll post details when I have them." Click on the image to see a bigger version. |
