Call Me Tim: A Portrait of Robert Hardy (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781739816452)

Robert Hardy or 'Tim' to those closest to him, was one of the finest actors of his generation with an extensive body of work including Siegfried Farnon in the television series All Creatures Great and Small and Cornelius Fudge in the Harry Potter films. In Call Me Tim, author Julien Chilcott-Monk has created a poignant memoir of his friend that not only details his life as an actor, but also recalls his passion for history which led to his valuable contribution in the resurrection of the Mary Rose and his academic discoveries on the part of the longbow in the major battles of the past.

Over fifty contributions from the acting world, including Dames Judi Dench and Eileen Atkins, along with history professors, family and friends present us with a compelling portrait of Tim and a detailed insight into this most extraordinary man.
