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.
