No Cunning Plan
So, what can we expect in No Cunning Plan, his long awaited autobiography? The blurb says the book will cover all aspects of his life and career.
Ranging from his time spent learning his craft, to coping with his parents dementia. For many though, the section on his time spent playing Baldrick in the Blackadder series will be the part they turn to first.
Baldrick is one of the most enduring characters of British Comedy. Just how much of the character was due to the script, or to his acting skills though?
How much influence did Tony Robinson have over developing the character of Baldrick? Did he actually like playing the Baldrick? Most importantly, who first coined the line – I have a cunning plan? Hopefully, this book will answer all these questions and more.
