Knighthood for Tony Robinson ‘just part of a cunning plan’
The announcement that Tony Robinson, or Baldrick as he is better known, is to be made a knight of the realm in the Queen’s Birthday Honours list was met with a single raised eyebrow by Rowan Blackadder who, as part of a cunning plan, accepted only a CBE in an attempt to conceal his ambitions within the court of ‘Queenie’ Lizabeth II.
Sir Baldrick as he will be known, accepted the honour only on the condition that his favourite turnip, dug up from a field in Nantwich during a Time Team special, would be made a Dame and provided with a year’s supply of pies from Mrs Miggins’ shop.
