    Back in 91 my dad had just left my mom and I to go to war the Guld War. Something I will never forget is my mom and I crying laughing at night watching Blackadder episodes. We had never even heard of the show before. But I think PBS or some other network got rights to show it. This show was a bright moment in a time we were both afraid for my dad's life. Luckily he returned home safe and sound. And had no idea why my mom and I would just start giggling about turnips and fake boobs lol.
    Blackadder will forever be special to me thank you.

    I MISS the series. Wish it still aired on TV after Mystery! After Red Dwarf or whatever it followed in the lineup. It’s terrible the way British programming was aired in the US-once it no longer was current there!
    IF not for “Mr. Bean” & Stephen Frye, Hugh Laurie, & (later) Miranda Richardson & Tony Robinson literally transporting themselves INTO the states in-person, I doubt there’d have EVER been a real appreciation of irony, wit, wry Old World humor-outside military personnel in the states.
    Thank Gawd they (& Monty Python) paid us visits, or I’d have been terrified of my daddy & uncle for life! Well, baffled anyway.
    I can’t remember which one (Ian McKellan, Rowan Atkinson, or Eric Idle) is said to have insisted on being addressed as “Sir” on film sets, but whenever I come across Tony Robinson’s histories, I think about how hilariously funny that must be to him, especially, & it makes me giggle involuntarily. 🤭🤣🤭🤣🤭🤣
    Did he ASK to be the “red-headed stepson” in Blackadder? Or is it just that all the rest of the cast insisted on maintaining prep school character (at all times)??
    Either or- it was brilliantly designed, brilliantly-played; and funny 90% of its airtime, if I remember the stand-out poignant scenes rightly.
    Thanks, channel owner, for archiving whatever you’re able to load of the series. ♥️🏵⛄️🪞⚜️🏅🎖☃️

      Baldrick was actually portrayed as being smarter than either Edmund or Percy in the first series (he's the one who quietly proposes that "The Black Adder" might be a better title than Edmund's original choice of "The Black Vegetable". And it's suggested by Edmund in Blackadder The Third that Baldrick's cousin Bert Baldrick - who's Mr. Gainsborough's butler's dogsbody - may have a somewhat larger vocabulary than Baldrick himself...

      I'm not sure what logic has to do with it; he was referring to Black Adder character not at all of his other roles. However, I can see Mr. Bean as a "disrupter", someone so out of touch or "Abby normal" that he does unbelievable things compared to "normal" people and creates chaos where ever he goes.

    • @Tuning3434
