    I think the answer says a lot about what generation you are from.

    Baldrick, but he is a good and engaging presenter, he parodies it every now and again.

    Baldrick was a comedy legend.

    He was also in "Maid Marion and her Merry Men" on CBBC.

    That was good, too.

    How did he do it, he somehow became a serious presenter about intelligent things, from a hilarious and unique clown.

    That was "a very cunning plan"

    I think of Robin Robinson then Tony Blackburn.
    Then I think of Tony Robinson then Robin Williams.
    The it goes to Robbie Williams - then Venus Williams onto Gillette Venus and from there to Jennifer Lopez.
    I dunno - what was the question again?

    I have never been able to watch Rowan Atkinson in anything other than Blackadder as I find he makes me cringe. Robinson's baldrick was genius casting imo

    It was just a great cast and great writing, even the theme song was great.

    Were you watching Tony Robinson's Superstitions earlier then? :D

    He was observing brain surgery, to illustrate a point about how far medicine has come. The patient was awake but sedated - think all those post-dentist youtube videos - and called for him, and when he went over to hold her hand and she asked him if she should call him "Tony or Baldrick".

    Funny little moment.

    One of the best castings in it was Miranda Richardson as Queen Elizabeth.
    Deliciously vicious and psychotic in equal measures

    Loved that show
    It was on Sunday mornings and I was trying to watch to the end before being driven to Mass by the mammy

    Theme song was ridiculously catchy, I still remember it

    The episodes with Rik Mayall were genius too. The Brits are world leaders when it comes to sitcoms.
