- Sunday Times racing correspondent Roger Mortimer spent 25 years writing to his only son, Charlie, and in 2012, many of those amusing, touching, exasperated, gossip-filled missives were collected to form the book, Dear Lupin. This is just one, written in 1978 when Charlie was working away from home.
None other than Sir Tony Robinson joined us to read this brilliantly funny letter at Letters Live at London's Royal Albert Hall in March 2024. - บันเทิง

"Neither listened to a word the other said, which was sensible as neither was saying anything worth listening to." The Internet in a nutshell
Best comment on the Internet today, bar none.

I'll take your word for it. I didn't consider it worth reading.
Sorry could you please repeat that I was not listening !!😂😂
"Your mother is still convinced that a poltergeist whipped away a sausage she was cooking" is the greatest arrangement of words I've ever come across.
I find it hilarious that the P.S. was almost as long as the letter itself.
That's a lot happening in that village.
A letter only an Englishman could write.
And read 😂😂😂
Upper lip was stiff in this one, forsooth.
I agree, only a Britisher can be so succint yet pack so much information into five minutes.
Richness of the English language ❤😂😂
Disagree, miserable gits are a worldwide phenomonon
Dear Lupin and Dear Lumpy (letters to the daughter) are both great books. Just endless witty bile like this.
Met Tony years ago, during a local history exhibition in Woolwich. He was polite, kind, charming and quite the most pleasant and relaxed ‘famous’ person I’ve ever met.
That was my dad when he quit smoking after 45 years of it. He was so grumpy we almost wish he was tart again.😉
Beautifully delivered!
I hope this man does more of these letters, he's wonderful.
While you wait, you can enjoy more of his thoughts by watching the comedy series Blackadder and the archeological series Time Team
@@loopwithers Love me some Baldrick.
I love Tony! Great presentation and the content of the letter was absolutely British.😂
That's enough colorful characters to fill three sitcoms
There's a whole book chapter in every statement. Brilliant piece of writing, brilliantly well delivered. Why did the one about the potatoes make me laugh out loud?
I feel like we're kindred spirits, this grumpy old man and I.
Tony is a global treasure
The last line explains all the sour observations.
I'm only 2 minutes in and laughing so much it turned into a coughing fit. I love Tony from Time Team, and he is the perfect fit for these acerbic, droll letters.
Baldric got really articulate as he aged
Tony Robinson and Roger Lloyd Pack (Trigger in Only Fools...) both prove the curious fact that you have to be REALLY smart to convincingly portray idiots.
Tony is always my favorite straight man.
Tony is wonderful!
Tony commited! 👏 Well read!
Toni is the best.
Brilliant..hope he reads more of these letters
I just looked for after Tony walked away: yes, You tube RM’s audiobook! Can’t wait to read these father and son nuggets
I can’t ever stop seeing him as Baldric. So, the thought of Baldric reading such a letter is just absolutely funny to me.
I could listen to this for hours.
Excellent delivery!
Reminds me a bit of Rowan Atkinson(Tony worked with him many moons ago,if anyone is unfamiliar with Blackadder).
Hahaha this is just fantastic! Amazing! Thank you.
The tragical lost art of family letter writing.
@inpeaceagain I guess superceded by Family FB Groups, Facetime, Instagram, Whatsapp, Emails, Video Sharing etc etc 😐 Are these less edited lives I wonder? compared to letters.
This sounds exactly like the messages my grandma sends in the family group text, so the art lives on, it’s just the medium that’s changed. 😂
@@caittails The skills your grandma learned when younger to write a letter. On a separate note, love the two shaggy hounds in your thumbnail. Very content looking doggos.
Love Sir Tony - from Massachusetts, USA 0:34
Brilliant as always!
Loved this. Love Tony Robinson. An old lady from Phoenix AZ
Brilliantly delivered.🎉
Superb.
That's perfect!
Thank you 🙏
John Houseman would be proud, the impression is sincere and delightful.
Thank you, very enjoyable.
Delightfully Understated 😊
Far and away the funniest letter yet
Oh, aunt Barbara, what have you done?
Life goals.
Perfection!
Excellent work Baldric
That was great😂
Someone with the same attitude as my father 😂😂😂😂😂
He's a GOSSIP 😂😂😂😂😂
These Dear Lupin letters were hilarious and for once Tony gets the flavour wrong.
He definitely had a... cunning plan... for this one!
Well damn Barbara, look what you did.
Now i feel like im the relic found on timeteam
Ought I remind you just how this particular round of hostilities “was precipitated”?
Roman Atkinson would do this one justice too😂👍
Shouldn’t he be titled as Sir?
😂
I have given up
Sundowners ink abundance
Smoking tobacco
How's it going?
🤗👏👏👏👏👏👏👏..
I think this poor man needs to start smoking again - at the very least a pipe 😂
I don't want to be that guy, but... Baldrick!
❤️❤️❤️📃📃📃👍👍👍🤣🤣🤣
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
4:52 Balderick 😂
Nah, I think Sodoff Baldrick would gift people turnips.
@@SiiriCressey Gadzooks! I don't know you. I don't know Shirley. I don't even know Sodoff Baldrick (though I feel I should). Help. (🇺🇸 Does that explain?)
@@brucestaples4510 Baldrick was a character played by Tony Robinson through the entire Blackadder television series. He had a minor obsession with turnips.
@@SiiriCressey Ahhh. So, from my colonial perspective, my ignorance is due to not viewing enough PBS, or Britbox...methinks. Thank you veddy much.😁
@@brucestaples4510 B.B.C. America, I believe. At least when it was new. New-ish.
😂😂😂 Well read.
The driest of all possible wit.
Hangry!
Or smokery?
hahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahaha
Gosh, that monotone delivery was boring.
Oh dear, poor you! It was deliberate.
Bless you, it's not a monotone. It's laconic
I used to live just around the corner from Inkpen !.
😂😂😂😂
