No, because he doesn't interpret anything or conclude aything. He just runs around asking questions and other people tell him the answers. That is his job.

Tony is, I believe, an 'Historical Presenter'... Bettany Hughes is a Historian.... we are Archaeologists.

Don't think there's much danger of anyone going that far.... :o)
....about as likely as someone complementing me on the tidyness of my desk

Maybe the selling point could be that in fact we are ALL archaeologists in that we all share a common history and heritage and given patience, time and resources can all be involved with the study of, and benefit from, a greater understanding of the past .....just that some of us do it for a living, some for a hobby and some have yet to be convinced of the fact!!
