Lord of Adders Black: A Blackadder Podcast 


Episode 27: “A Viciously Sharp Slice Of Mango” 


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 gleeful tangent. 


This time around, our special guest is writer David Quantick. Already a familiar name to music and comedy enthusiasts, his novel All My Colours came out in April 2019 to great acclaim and his first collection of short stories, And Other Stories, is due out in August 2025. David talks to us about taking comedy beyond the stodgily conventional and why Blackadder Goes Forth in particular is unique among sitcoms. 


In our Scene Stealer segment, we also shine a spotlight on sitcom veteran Geoffrey Palmer, who makes a short but memorable appearance as Field-Marshal Sir Douglas Haig in the final episode of Blackadder Goes Forth. Cue a plan that proves less than cunning and a phrase that rhymes with “clucking bell”.
