"It is very easy for humans to fear things that are other than themselves. This was probably quite useful when we all lived on the Serengeti Plain, but it's not very helpful in the multi-cultural world in which we now live.

We need to understand that differences do not make other people alien - they just make them more interesting."

To some, he’s the thick, dirty, smelly man-servant named Baldrick in the BBC’s Blackadder comedy series; to others he’s the presenter of the archaeology series Time Team; or the nasty Sheriff of Nottingham in Maid Marian. He is, of course, Tony Robinson.

Tony is a long-term supporter of Oxfam who has travelled widely to publicise the work that Oxfam does in different countries.
