Those Were The Days

The Blackadder - S1E1


Listen Later

This week, Stephen takes us back to the darkly comic and twisted historical world of "The Black Adder." In the series opener, "The Foretelling," we're introduced to the scheming Prince Edmund, the man who would (much to his own surprise) become the Duke of Edinburgh. Through a series of unfortunate (and hilarious) events, Edmund finds himself rewriting history and battling a host of real and imagined foes in his quest for power. Join Stephen, along with Amy, TVsTravis, and Audie, on "Those Were The Days," as they dissect the genius of Richard Curtis and Rowan Atkinson's creation, exploring its sharp wit, satirical take on history, and the legacy of one of television's most beloved black comedies. From the infamous first line misheard as a call to arms, to the birth of the character we all love to despise, this episode unpacks the humor, absurdity, and brilliance of "The Foretelling."
