Title: Arise, Sir Baldrick!

Baldrick, aka Tim Robinson, of the cast of TV comedy, Blackadder,has been knighted.

Blackadder (Rowan Atkinson) has to settle for a CBE.

Seems HM had a plan so cunning you could put a tail on it and call it a weasel......

We seem to remember him "mainly" from Black Adder, but he has done a huge number of great documentaries.

Well done Tony.

Flying the flag of my hometown!

I see him reasonably often if I go and watch Bristol City play football. He is there a lot with his son.

I would think he has been honoured more for his work on Time Team and the service done for archaeology.

Blackadder certainly wouldn't appreciate the disgusting Baldrick being knighted and he hasn't.

He's been presenting the popular archaeology series Time Team since it started in 1994.

He loves his history does Tony Robinson and he's been in lots of programmes on history.
