We have a cunning plan!


Every week we dive into our archive of almost 500 episodes to bring you some gems from the past EIGHT years.


Today - it's one of the great entertainers. Whether you first saw Tony as Baldrick in Blackadder, or as the passionate presenter of Time Team, or whether you read one of his (many) children's books Tony's been an ever-present on our screens for generations.


As he launches a new book at the Hay Festival this week we thought it was a great time to revisit this episode from 2023.


Cheers!

There’s a particular kind of conversation that happens after a glass or two of wine, where guards come down and real stories emerge. That’s the atmosphere White Wine Question Time captures so perfectly. Hosted by Kate Thornton, each episode gathers well-known friends for a relaxed yet revealing chat, structured around three thoughtful questions and, of course, a shared bottle. What unfolds is less a formal interview and more a glimpse into the genuine friendships behind the public personas. You’ll hear laughter, unexpected confessions, and perspectives on culture, society, and current events that rarely make the headlines. This podcast thrives in the space between entertainment and intimate disclosure, often veering into comedy as these candid discussions unfold. With a vast back catalogue of over 450 episodes, each one feels like pulling up a chair to a fascinating table. Whether you start with the latest release or browse the extensive archive, you’re guaranteed a listen that’s as engaging and relevant as it is genuinely enjoyable.
