Lord of Adders Black: A Blackadder Podcast Episode 10: Ten Shun! 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 odd gleeful tangent.As the title suggests, our tenth episode has a military theme as our friend Kevin Brown – formerly a lowly Lance Corporal in the British army before moving to Canada to scale the dizzying heights of podcast fame – drops in on our squalid bit of line to talk about Blackadder Goes Forth and how accurately it portrays military life.This time around, our Scene Stealer is Warren Clarke, who gave a memorable performance as Amy’s pig-loving father Mr Hardwood in the penultimate episode of Blackadder The Third. We take a look at his long and varied career as a character actor, how he ended up hamming it up on the Blackadder set (pun intended) and how Les Dawson was an unlikely source of inspiration.°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°° More information about Jem Roberts and his creative exploits can be found at:jemroberts.com and talesofbritain.comThe audiobook of The True History Of The Black Adder – read by the author himself – is available on Audible:https://www.audible.co.uk/pd/The-True-History-of-the-Blackadder-Audiobook/B0C82XDHPY?action_code=ASSGB149080119000H&share_location=pdp As always, you can find the Ronald Lacey Fans Twitter account at @RonaldLaceyFansThanks to the following communities for their valuable support:The King Of Blackadder Twitter community: @pitchblacksteedReddit Blackadder community: www.reddit.com/r/blackadder/Blackadder – quotes, clips and pictures: https://www.facebook.com/share/NVQ6pTtJt8Hzve9X/?mibextid=K35XfPThe Ultimate Blackadder Group: https://www.facebook.com/share/aLnsHrXM4FiyejuK/?mibextid=K35XfP Follow us onTwitter: @LordAddersBlackBluesky: @lordofaddersblack.bsky.socialFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61559091752318 Instagram: lord_of_adders_black e-mail: [email protected] Podcast credits: Compiled and presented by Ian Winick and Michael J.

Lord of Adders Black: A Blackadder Podcast Episode 8: A Comedy History Jem (Part One) 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. We kick off episode number eight with a Scene Stealer feature on Peter Cook, who lost his head in the very first outing of The Black Adder – but not before defining the landscape of British comedy as we know it. All great TV comedy stories start with Peter Cook and our special guest’s is no exception. This episode includes the first of a two-part interview with Jem Roberts, writer of The True History Of The Black Adder and the official biographer of Fry & Laurie, Douglas Adams and other leading lights of comedy. Here, Jem recounts some of the many rosy-cheeked caperings that occurred while researching his labour of love, such as being gifted with the unpublished Blackadder In Bethlehem script by Richard Curtis, revisiting unused sketches with Stephen Fry – and not being sued by Rowan Atkinson. °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°° More information about Jem Roberts and his creative exploits can be found at:jemroberts.com and talesofbritain.comThe audiobook of The True History Of The Black Adder – read by the author himself – is available on Audible:https://www.audible.co.uk/pd/The-True-History-of-the-Blackadder-Audiobook/B0C82XDHPY?action_code=ASSGB149080119000H&share_location=pdp As always, you can find the Ronald Lacey Fans Twitter account at @RonaldLaceyFansThanks to the following communities for their valuable support:The King Of Blackadder Twitter community: @pitchblacksteedReddit Blackadder community: www.reddit.com/r/blackadder/Blackadder – quotes, clips and pictures: https://www.facebook.com/share/NVQ6pTtJt8Hzve9X/?mibextid=K35XfPThe Ultimate Blackadder Group:https://www.facebook.com/share/aLnsHrXM4FiyejuK/?mibextid=K35XfP Follow us onTwitter: @LordAddersBlackBluesky: @lordofaddersblack.bsky.socialFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61559091752318Instagram: lord_of_adders_blacke-mail: [email protected] credits:Compiled and presented by Ian Winick and Michael J.

Lord of Adders Black: A Blackadder Podcast Bonus Episode 1: Bottomless Pitt – a full interview with Simon Osborne (Pitt The Younger) If you’re reading this, then one of us is on holiday or life has dropped a spanner in our usual clockwork schedule. Which is why it always pays to have a bonus episode or two at the ready! This one contains our full interview with Simon Osborne, who played the wonderfully snotty Pitt The Younger in Dish & Dishonesty, the fast-paced opener for the third season of Blackadder. Parts have already been included in Episodes 5 and 6, but almost half of the interview – like Baldrick’s trousers – has never been aired before. We hope you enjoy the chat with Simon and will be back with a new episode very soon. °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°° You can find Simon Osborne on Twitter at @SimonOsbornePTY Check out his website and blog at: https://www.historypitt.co.uk/ https://historypitt.wordpress.com/ As always, you can find the Ronald Lacey Fans Twitter account at @RonaldLaceyFans Thanks to the following communities for their valuable support: The King Of Blackadder Twitter community: @pitchblacksteed Reddit Blackadder community: www.reddit.com/r/blackadder/ Blackadder – quotes, clips and pictures: https://www.facebook.com/share/NVQ6pTtJt8Hzve9X/?mibextid=K35XfP The Ultimate Blackadder Group: https://www.facebook.com/share/aLnsHrXM4FiyejuK/?mibextid=K35XfP Follow us on Twitter: @LordAddersBlack Bluesky: @lordofaddersblack.bsky.social Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61559091752318 Instagram: lord_of_adders_black e-mail: [email protected] Podcast credits: Compiled and presented by Ian Winick and Michael J.
