Lord of Adders Black: A Blackadder Podcast
Episode 34: “Poetry first, sausage later”
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 our good friend Steve Ursell, who makes a strong case for Blackadder Goes Forth being the most truly iconic of the four series. We talk about the memorable characters and storylines, examine the impact that the series has had on British society and cherry-pick our favourite moments from the six episodes.
Having already featured in a Major Star and Scene Stealer segment as Queenie and Nurse Mary respectively, Miranda Richardson returns for a third time as the wetter-than-a-haddock’s-costume Amy Hardwood, a mysterious Northern beauty with a dark secret and an even darker hatred of squirrels.
