Robert Newman's The History of the World Backwards

Robert says, "BBC 4 have commissioned a six part series based on my History of the World Backwards show. It is sixteen years since my last TV series, but I was worried about over-exposure 'cos it can lead to a backlash. The series of 6x30 will be recorded in the summer and broadcast autumn of 2007."

The first episode was be shown on BBC4 in the UK on 30 October 2007.
