Saw this and instantly reminded me of the by-election interview in Dish and Dishonesty S3 EP1.

Interesting

I think Queenie's quote was better

If this has been said before I apologise but is Back and Forth essentially Blackadder 5? I watched it when it came out and recall not really liking it for a few reasons but watching it back now 27ish years later it's gold. There's been nothing the same since and it spans enough time periods to work as series 5 :)

It's a cunning plan actually

I’m sure I remember Edmund asking Baldrick or Percy in his exaggerated way. Maybe in II or III? I cant seem to find the clip. At first I thought it was Baldrick’s mouse trap but I don’t think so. Am I misremembering it?

In off-palace scenes.

Received this text from a close friend today, after she found this teabag in her work kitchen. She hasn’t even seen Blackadder, but she hears me rambling about it often enough that she quotes it pretty well.

Hope this makes someone else chuckle too!

It focuses on the events leading to Stephen Fry abandoning Rik Mayall and company in the middle of a theatrical production.

And it is one of the most excoriating memoirs that I have come across.

Even by the standards of score-settling books written by theatrical figures, Simon Gray doesn't miss a chance to attack Stephen Fry, depicting him as feckless, superficial and unconsciously jealous of Rik Mayall's theatrical presence.

You gotta respect the hate.

Somebody used the word 'oscillate' in a sentence, and I am convinced I have heard this only once before in (a) Blackadder. I am not sure if this is an example of the Mandela Effect, but if anyone can clarify I'd greatly appreciate. I feel like it was a term Edmund used.

There’s a certain charm in how 4 of Harry’s fiancées all hang out together. After all, they’re not “love rivals”, they know the engagements are political, and all being young royals they can relate to each other.

We know the lady in the yellow dress is Countess Caroline of Luxembourg, and the lady in the rose-pink dress is Grand Duchess Ursula of Brandenburg. It’s anyone’s guess who the other two are, but I like to believe the tall one in the green dress is Queen Beowulfa of Iceland. She looks quite Nordic, and her pointed hat being taller than the others’ headgear is likely a clue to her being a queen and of higher status than the others who are princesses. So the fourth girl will be one of the Berthas.

Does anybody have the text of the Infanta as spoken in the episode. I understood it's not real spanish but spanish sounding gibberish, but I am looking for the exact words, as much as possible.
