Lord of Adders Black: A Blackadder Podcast

Episode 33: “The Amazing Beardless Woman”

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 week’s Major Star is Mrs Miggins, the warm-hearted coffee shop owner with a weird predilection for that patented Blackadder blend of sharp sarcasm and even sharper cheekbones. A welcome female addition to the sausage fest that is Blackadder The Third, she claims to have a “brain the size of a sultana” but then reveals herself to be a canny businesswoman with a floury finger on the pulse of the times. 

Continuing our series of interviews with special guests making the case about why their own favourite series of Blackadder is the most truly iconic, we are delighted to welcome back our friend Mark Lane, the brains and heart behind the ever-popular King Of Blackadder Twitter community. A dyed-in-the-wool Series One devotee, Mark talks about why, in his view, nothing comes close to the dark, plague-infested glory of The Black Adder
