Happier with Sir Baldrick and his final comments here...
From the BBC website:
Sir Tony's knighthood recognises his "lifetime of public and political service with a career as an actor, theatre director, children's author and television presenter".
"I also pledge that from this day on I'll slaughter all unruly dragons, and rescue any damsels in distress who request my help."
The one-time member of Labour Party's National Executive Committee added: "I'll use my new title with abandon to highlight the causes I believe in, particularly the importance of culture, the arts and heritage in our society, and the plight of the infirm elderly and their carers."
