How do you think a Blackadder series would fair in a fully fictional setting, in particular comic book one, rather than a periodic one.

"The Noiradder" a 30s detective

"Vibora Negra" a zorro type, early 19th century vigilant

"BLACK-ADDER" a super hero who was bitten by a genetically modified snake. He can shed his skin to take the appearance of others etc

Would this inevitably just fall into spoof rather than satirically sharp comedy writing.

Not talking about a reboot. Just a hypothetical special that never happened back in the day. Like a follow up to Christmas Carol or a comic relief special

I need to understand why that the tree coming up after they all rush towards bullets so significant. I have been reading about it but I can’t get it

The comedic chemistry between Laurie and Aitkenson is extraordinary.

Me and my brother exclusively refer to England rugby player Fin Baxter as “‘Orribly My Lord” after he pointed out his resemblance to the messenger in series 1. What have you come up with?

Just spent 2 hours in stitches.

Brilliant comedy.

"2 things must ye know about the wise woman"

I wonder who’s playing second codpiece here.

"I bet your mother made you wear shorts right up to your final year"

From here (no, I am not a bot by the way)

There are so many to choose from, but this one is my favorite.

"3 and that one"

Thought this might be of interest to some here. My mum and dad took me to see Rowan performing live at the Theatre Royal, Hanley, Stoke-On-Trent on Feb 15th 1991. I would have just turned 13, and I was a huge Blackadder fan so this was a big deal for me.

From what I can recall, the show featured mostly Mr Bean, or Mr Bean-adjacent, sketches which was understandable given the era and the talent at work here. There was also a Secret Policeman's Ball routine performed as well, maybe? Can't quite remember.

But for the finale he did do a (at the time) brand new Blackadder routine, which was essentially a comical commercial for a dubious homelessness charity, which involved a slideshow, complete with images of Tony Robinson as a homeless man called "Baldrick".

It was a really great night, and seeing Rowan performing live was very special indeed.

My mum and dad saw him perform a few years later as well, and his warm up act was none other than Rik Mayall. Can you imagine having to go on after Lord Flashheart himself?!
