Lord of Adders Black: A Blackadder Podcast
Episode 7: No Word For ‘Fluffy’
Welcome to the Lord of Adders Black fan podcast, where Michael and Ian explore the universe of cult sitcom Blackadder while diving off at the occasional tangent.
Episode number seven has a distinctly international flair, with voice messages from far-flung listeners sparking lively discussions about people actually called Blackadder in real life and what cameos Mel Smith and Griff Rhys Jones might have had in Blackadder The Third.
We also chat with German linguist and comedy enthusiast Felix Anker about getting English comedy to work in other languages and whether his fellow countrymen and women get a rougher deal than most at the hands of the various Blackadders.
And delving into our Trivia Treasure Trove, we discover that there is a very good reason why the Blackadder canon is positively riddled with Bernards…

Lord of Adders Black: A Blackadder Podcast
Episode 6: Pitt The Slightly Older (Part 2)
Welcome to the Lord of Adders Black fan podcast, where Michael and Ian explore the universe of cult sitcom Blackadder while diving off at the occasional tangent.
Our sixth episode includes the second part of our interview with that splendid acting fellow, Simon Osborne, who played the scheming adolescent Pitt The Younger in the opening episode of Blackadder The Third.
This time around, our Scene Stealer is Ade Edmondson as the Red Baron, the gentleman flyer with a taste for bad puns and toilet humour. We also look at the other roles that Ade has played during his long and fulfilling career and at his longstanding double act with the much-missed Rik Mayall.
Speaking of toilet humour, Viz magazine gets a mention in our trivia question and we discover that there is not one but two links between Blackadder and The Rocky Horror Picture Show …

Lord of Adders Black: A Blackadder Podcast
Episode 5: Pitt The Slightly Older (Part 1)
Welcome to the Lord of Adders Black fan podcast, where Michael and Ian explore the universe of cult sitcom Blackadder while diving off at the occasional tangent.
Barely 24 hours after we chalked up our thousandth download, our latest offering – Pitt The Slightly Older – marks another important milestone: our first ever interview with an actor from the series.
As the title suggests, the episode features the first of a two-part interview with Simon Osborne, who gave a memorably snotty performance as Pitt The Younger in Dish And Dishonesty, the opening episode to Blackadder The Third.
We speak at length to Simon about how he landed the role in Blackadder at the tender age of sixteen and about his experience in working with many of his comedy heroes. And about the best way to shoot a scene with Rowan Atkinson while he’s constantly pulling faces at you off-camera.
We also delve into our growing bag of listener messages, cherry-pick our favourite cunning plans and discuss whether Elizabethan Edmund had a more progressive outlook than other sitcoms of the late twentieth century.

Lord of Adders Black: A Blackadder Podcast
Episode 4: Long On Beard, Short On Legs
Welcome to the Lord of Adders Black fan podcast, where Michael and Ian explore the universe of cult sitcom Blackadder while diving off at the occasional tangent.
Episode 4 is called Long On Beard, Short On Legs. As the title subtly suggests, our Scene Stealer is none other than Tom Baker chewing up the scenery as Captain Rum in the Season 2 classic “Potato”, which we will be discussing with our special guest, comedian Harry Hussey.
And speaking of potatoes, hot potatoes, to be precise, have you ever wondered what the dastardly Mossop and Keanrick are chanting to ward off evil spirits every time Mr B. mentions the Scottish play by name? We put our best minds on the job.
We also shine a spotlight on Rowan Atkinson’s live performances back in the 80s and 90s and discuss how he turned a cumbersome speech impediment into comedy gold.
As always, there are plenty of audio clips, trivia and a voice message revealing, among other things, how Blackadder was a little puerile for Ron Lacey’s tastes …

Lord of Adders Black: A Blackadder Podcast
Episode 3: Percy and Perspicacity
Welcome to the Lord of Adders Black fan podcast, where Michael and Ian explore the universe of cult sitcom Blackadder while diving off at the occasional tangent.
For our third episode, Percy and Perspicacity, we are joined by our very first guest – writer, poet and fellow Blackadder buff Jan Miklaszewicz – who waxes lyrical about Tim McInnerny and the various roles he plays in all four series. And, in one case, three different roles in the same episode!
We will also be revisiting Jim Broadbent’s hilarious turn as the ever-present interpreter to Miriam Margolyes’s Spanish Infanta in our favourite Series 1 episode. And we will be looking back on a long and fruitful career that has gone from high-rises in Peckham to Bullets Over Broadway.
Lastly, our Newbie List has been taking shape nicely since our new voting poll went online a few days ago. If you haven’t shared your picks with us, it only takes two minutes. No need to sign up or sign in – just click on the link below, tick your six choices and press send.

Lord of Adders Black: A Blackadder Podcast
Episode 2: Repayment or Revenge!
Welcome to the Lord of Adders Black fan podcast, where Michael and Ian explore the universe of cult sitcom Blackadder while diving off at the occasional tangent.
In our second episode – Repayment or Revenge! – we look at the force of nature that is writer and stand-up comedian Ben Elton. As well as revisiting his earlier work, we talk about what Ben brought to the table when he teamed up with Richard Curtis to pen the historic second season of Blackadder.
The first of our regular Scene Stealers segments celebrates Ronald Lacey’s monstrous performance as the Baby-Eating Bishop Of Bath & Wells and looks back at a few of his many memorable roles in film and TV.
We also set the ball rolling with the first selections for our Newbie Playlist, where – together with our listeners and special guests – we compile a list of six episodes best suited to introduce the uninitiated to the foul and fabulous world of Blackadder.

Lord of Adders Black: A Blackadder Podcast
Episode 1: Best Fighting Trousers On, Chaps!
Welcome to the Lord of Adders Black fan podcast, where Michael and Ian will be exploring the universe of cult sitcom Blackadder.
In this introductory episode, we’ll be talking about our (cunning) plans for a Blackadder podcast – including regular features, special guests and a generous helping of audio clips from our favourite comedies. And, we hope, yours too.
Most of all, this first episode will be a nostalgic time capsule in which we rediscover the TV comedy we knew and loved as nauseating adolescents over ten thousand miles apart in Melbourne (Michael) and Dublin (Ian) and walk a happy mile or two down the winding roads that led us to Blackadder.
Join us for what we are sure will be a fun-packed trip down memory lane – and maybe even an excuse to dust off that DVD box set (and DVD player!) and revisit the series in all its timeless glory.
