Lord of Adders Black: A Blackadder Podcast

Episode 35: “Scene Stealers and Time Travelers”

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, our second-last regular episode, we are joined by an old friend of the podcast, GoonPod’s Tyler Adams, to talk about Blackadder: Back & Forth, which was described by its main star as the most expensive and least satisfying half-hour in the canon. Our deep dive into this expensive folly travels back to the turn of the millennium and, true to form, gets lost a couple of times on the way.

We also talk about our next podcast project, which we hope will appeal to most of our current listeners, and reveal the long-awaited results of our Scene recent Stealers poll, which yielded a few surprises among the evergreen fan favourites.
