<p>In this special collaborative episode, Tony Robinson sits down with Time Team’s Helen Geake for an immersive dive into ‘The House of Wolf’, his gripping new historical saga. Tony reveals how decades of archaeology, storytelling, and acting shaped the novel’s vivid world of Alfred the Great, political intrigue, and everyday Anglo-Saxon life. Together, they explore the magic of Time Team, the thrill of discovering traces of real people in the landscape, and why England has always been shaped by its ties to Europe. With the insight of an actor, the heart of a storyteller, and the mud-soaked experience of a field archaeologist, Tony reveals how real lives, real landscapes, and real discoveries shaped his most ambitious work yet.</p><br><p>Hosted by Sir Tony Robinson | Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/sirtonyrobinson/?hl=en-gb" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@sirtonyrobinson</a></p><br><p>Producer: Melissa FitzGerald | X <a href="https://x.com/melissafitzg?lang=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@melissafitzg</a></p><br><p>With</p><br><p>Dr. Helen Geake | <a href="https://www.timeteamdigital.com/the-team/helen-geake" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">timeteamdigital.com/the-team/helen-geake</a></p><br><p>Helen’s interest in archaeology was sparked partly by attending lecturers by Time Team’s Mick Aston. She studied at University College London and University of York, specialising in Anglo-Saxon cemeteries. She has worked at Norwich Castle Museum, the Portable Antiquities Scheme, Cambridge University and the British Museum. Helen first joined Time Team in 1998, appearing periodically as our Anglo-Saxon expert, and more regularly from 2006 to 2010.
