- 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.

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.
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.
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
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.😂
Beautifully delivered!
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?
That was my dad when he quit smoking after 45 years of it. He was so grumpy we almost wish he was tart again.😉
I can’t ever stop seeing him as Baldric. So, the thought of Baldric reading such a letter is just absolutely funny to me.
Tony is wonderful!
I feel like we're kindred spirits, this grumpy old man and I.
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.
Brilliant..hope he reads more of these letters
The last line explains all the sour observations.
Tony commited! 👏 Well read!
Tony is always my favorite straight man.
Tony is a global treasure
Brilliant as always!
I could listen to this for hours.
Excellent delivery!
Hahaha this is just fantastic! Amazing! Thank you.
Toni is the best.
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.
Loved this. Love Tony Robinson. An old lady from Phoenix AZ
Reminds me a bit of Rowan Atkinson(Tony worked with him many moons ago,if anyone is unfamiliar with Blackadder).
I just looked for after Tony walked away: yes, You tube RM’s audiobook! Can’t wait to read these father and son nuggets
Thank you 🙏
Love Sir Tony - from Massachusetts, USA 0:34
Brilliantly delivered.🎉
Superb.
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.
Thank you, very enjoyable.
That's perfect!
Perfection!
John Houseman would be proud, the impression is sincere and delightful.
Excellent work Baldric
Life goals.
Far and away the funniest letter yet
Delightfully Understated 😊
That was great😂
Oh, aunt Barbara, what have you done?
Fawking brilliant -- I could listen to an evening of this, especially if "gin was in fairly abundant supply".
He's a GOSSIP 😂😂😂😂😂
Someone with the same attitude as my father 😂😂😂😂😂
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
Roman Atkinson would do this one justice too😂👍
Ought I remind you just how this particular round of hostilities “was precipitated”?
Shouldn’t he be titled as Sir?
I don't want to be that guy, but... Baldrick!
I have given up
Sundowners ink abundance
Smoking tobacco
How's it going?
😂
🤗👏👏👏👏👏👏👏..
❤️❤️❤️📃📃📃👍👍👍🤣🤣🤣
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
😂😂😂 Well read.
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.
I think this poor man needs to start smoking again - at the very least a pipe 😂
Hangry!
Or smokery?
The driest of all possible wit.
hahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahaha
Warsaw crime all over again!!
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 !.
😂😂😂😂
