On the left is me after an abscess sent me to dental hospital last night. It reminded me of Baldrick after his encounter with the Spanish Infanta. Why am I telling you this? Well, today my 55-min podcast interview on Blackadder S1 is live. Listen here: shows.acast.com/663dc3b21f99...

“I've come to think of you as a sort of son. Not a favourite son, of course, Lord no, more a sort of illegitimate backstairs sprog. You know, the sort of spotty squit that nobody really likes, but, nonetheless, still fruit of my overactive loins.”

If even half the sods in this land who claim to love #Blackadder had bought the official, ultimate guide to the show, The True History of the Black Adder, in any format, I probably wouldn’t wake up worried at 4am quite so often. www.hive.co.uk/Product/J-F-... @pitchblacksteed.bsky.social

Could you mount a strong defence of why Series 1 Blackadder stands among the comedy greats? Not many can (or want to!) but I have done exactly that in this new Lord of Adders Black podcast. Take a listen via the link below. My bit starts 21:50 into the ep.

I do not find my name remotely funny, and people who do end up dead. I challenge you to a duel tonight at 18 hundred hours in which you will die.

Yours with sincere apologies for your impending violent slaughter,

“But you do think Johnson's a genius?”
“No sir, I do not. Unless, of course, the definition of genius in his ridiculous dictionary is 'a fat dullard or wobble-bottom; a pompous ass with sweaty dewflaps'.”

“Um, you eat your servants?”
“No, sir — I eat *off* them. Why should I spend good money on tables when I have men standing idle?”

Next Monday, we will be kicking off our second season of Lord Of Adders Black with a very special guest.

Masters of suspense that we are, we will be posting a few clues before we reveal who it is.

Here's clue one:

He might be your aunt or she might be your uncle.

The utterly wonderful Elspet Gray 😍

She, Brian Blessed and Robert East were my favourite things about The Black Adder.

Oh ... and Miriam Margoyles and Jim Broadbent too!
