Tony Robinson is best-known for playing turnip-brained Baldrick who always had 'a cunning plan' in the iconic TV show Blackadder. He's presented countless documentaries throughout his 50-year career, including 20-years on Channel 4's Time Team, inspired by his passion for history and for digging deep into the past to understand more about the present. That's his thing!

In his cunningly curated history podcast, Tony is taking the long view on the big stories of the day and delving into other weird and wonderful stories that grab him and make him want to know more about the world around us. He’s asking: Why was Stonehenge built?
