| Description: | Select Guide Rating A frank and funny memoir by a hugely popular actor, presenter and author. <p><b>Packed full of incident and insight, <i>No Cunning Plan</i> is a funny, self-deprecating and always entertaining memoir by Sir </b><b>Tony Robinson.</b><br><br>Sir Tony Robinson is a much-loved actor, presenter and author with a stellar career lasting over fifty years. In this autobiography he reveals how the boy from South Woodford went from child stardom in the first stage production of <i>Oliver!</i>, a pint-sized pickpocket desperately bleaching his incipient moustache, to comedy icon Baldrick, the loyal servant and turnip aficionado in <i>Blackadder</i>. <br><br>It wasn't all plain sailing though. Along the way he was bullied by Steve Marriott, failed to impress Liza Minnelli and was pushed into a stinking London dock by John Wayne. He also entertained us with <i>Maid Marion and Her Merry Men</i> (which he wrote and starred in) and coped manfully when locked naked outside a theatre in Lincoln during the live tour of comedy series <i>Who Dares Wins</i>. He presented <i>Time Team</i> for twenty years, watching countless gardens ruthlessly dug up in the name of archaeology, and risked life and limb filming <i>The Worst Jobs in History</i>.</p> |
