Lord of Adders Black: A Blackadder Podcast

Episode 30: “An Absolutely Scrummy Dream About Ponies”

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 episode opens with a Points Of View-type segment where we channel our inner Anne Robinson (albeit less grumpy) and present a selection of messages and voice recordings from listeners around the world waxing lyrical on Harry Enfield, Baldrick and some of our recent guests.

Continuing our Major Star series, we also look at Miranda Richardson’s extraordinary performance as the young Queen Bess, memorably described by Richard Curtis as “a strange mixture of woman, child, nymphomaniac and tyrant”. As well as casting an eye over Miranda’s career – and reflecting on why so much of it seems to have passed us by – we revisit our favourite quintessential Queenie moments in Blackadder II.

Lord of Adders Black: A Blackadder Podcast 

Bonus Episode 6: “Ted Talk” 

Down with this sort of thing! (Careful now.) 

One of our ideas for bonus episodes was to introduce each other to sitcoms that we love. This time around, Ian initiates Michael into the weird and wonderful world of Father Ted, which was hugely popular in Britain and Ireland in the mid- to late 90s and, like Blackadder, is still widely loved, watched and quoted to this day. 

In this special “Ted Talk”, we examine why an oddball comedy about three priests on a remote island should strike such a chord with audiences – and special guest Fearghal Traynor pops in to share a few insights about the innate Irishness of Father Ted.

Lord of Adders Black: A Blackadder Podcast 

Episode 29: “Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom!” 

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. 

In this two-hander Baldrick special – which was almost called A Turnip For The Books – we look at the various incarnations of Blackadder’s longsuffering sidekick throughout that dastardly dynasty, from Baldrick Son of Robin The Dung Gatherer to Private S. Baldrick in the trenches of the Somme.  

As well as casting an eye over Sir Tony Robinson’s career before and after his big break in The Black Adder, we attempt to pinpoint the traits that are unique to the Baldrick character in each series – and choose our all-time favourite moments.

Lord of Adders Black: A Blackadder Podcast

Episode 28: “A Lorry-Load Of Paper Clips”

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.

In this episode, we are joined by budding comedy writer and Blackadder enthusiast Molly McDade, who talks about why Tim McInnerny’s Captain Darling is her favourite character in Blackadder Goes Forth. With Molly’s help, we also solve the age-old question of whether carrier pigeons really are in their prime in their mid-fifties.

After some … robust feedback from listeners, we take a belated look at Harry Enfield’s contribution to character sketch comedy in the 1990s while also listing our five favourite British sitcoms. Following up on the last episode’s trivia question, we also take a look at Lee Cornes’ three small roles in Blackadder and find out why Rowan Atkinson’s mention of a chap called Bob almost got the Blackadder team into legal hot water.

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”.

Episode 26: “My Fluffy Bunny Act” 

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. 

Our special guest in this episode is fellow Blackadder enthusiast Dr Kel Pero, who casts an expert eye on the differences between the language used in the various series of Blackadder and reflects on why it is always such a treat for word nerds. And why you should never let historical accuracy get in the way of a good joke. 

This time around, our Scene Stealer is Miranda Richardson as the enigmatic Nurse Mary in the General Hospital episode of Blackadder Goes Forth. Is she the spy? Is she innocent? Can she sing I May Be A Tiny Chimney Sweep But I’ve Got An Enormous Brush? Tune in and find out … that we don’t really know either.

Lord of Adders Black: A Blackadder Podcast

Episode 25: “Look Behind You, Mr Caesar!”

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.

In this episode’s Major Star segment, we will be looking at Hugh Laurie’s thick-as-a-whale-omelette Prince George in Blackadder The Third. And who better to discuss this with us than our old friend Simon Osborne who makes a welcome return to the fold to reminisce about working with Hugh and also recalls his favourite moments from the screen and rehearsal room.

We also take a nerdilicious look at how the first three series of Blackadder each brought things to a close and how these matched up against the glorious finale that was Blackadder Goes Forth.And while we’re at it, we touch upon the strange phenomenon* of Blackadder actors strutting their stuff in music videos by British female pop artists.

(*Kate Bush pun intended) Oh … and we've started a new poll asking Blackadder fans to rate the four series of Blackadder in order of fluffiness.

Lord of Adders Black: A Blackadder Podcast

Episode 24: “Chiswick! Fresh Horses!”

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 episode’s Major Star is actor, explorer and all-round force of nature Brian Blessed. As well as reflecting on his endearingly boisterous performance as King Richard IV in The Black Adder, we look at Brian’s early acting roles on stage and screen and marvel at his remarkable zest for life. And, on a more sinister note, we reveal how he inadvertently ended up influencing Coronation Street for well over half a century.

We also blow the dust off the Comic Relief special “Blackadder: The Cavalier Years” and discuss whether it deserves the rather, ahem, cavalier attitude that many of the Blackadder faithful have towards it.

Oh … and we've started a new poll asking Blackadder fans to rate the four series of Blackadder in order of fluffiness.

Lord of Adders Black: A Blackadder Podcast

Bonus Episode 04: Full Interview with Mike Haskins

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.

As we are taking a short break from recording this week, here is a bonus episode from our hallowed vaults: our full interview with comedy writer Mike Haskins, who waxes lyrical about his time writing for the likes of Griff Rhys Jones and Hale & Pace. He also talks about how Peter Cook ended up bequeathing his porn collection to Griff Rhys Jones …

Mike also gives us a comedy writer’s insight into what makes Blackadder such a memorable and influential creation and we revisit this and other comedies from the same era, with clips, laughs and larks a-plenty.

Oh … and we’ve started a new poll asking Blackadder fans to rate the four series of Blackadder in order of fluffiness.
