This sketch was performed as part of the BBC telethon Comic Relief. I have included the transcript on this site because it is not available in book form. The sketch is quite rare, but it is still available to buy on video. Also, the sketch appears on the Blackadder Back & Forth DVD that is sold in the UK and USA.

Here it is.... The pilot episode that's never been broadcast in the UK. Which is quite ironic because although the comedy is British, I got the tape from an American (Thanks Erik). What makes this different from any other episode of Black Adder? Well read on...

Rowan Atkinson has created a new reincarnation of Blackadder for a TV advert promoting the Queen's jubilee concert. The new character, Sir Osmond Darling-Blackadder, is keeper of Her Majesty's lawn sprinkler. The following is an edited transcript of the advert (the boring voice over bits have been removed). I must thank Blackadder Hall friend John A. for transcribing it for us.

This sketch was performed on stage for an AIDS benefit concert directed by Stephen Fry on September 18, 1989. Rowan Atkinson's character is unnamed, but from the look of him, it seems he's a member of the Blackadder family. The other character, whom you will know, was played by Hugh Laurie.

This extensive script was part of a Children In Need Special way back in 1988. This text was transcribed from an original radio broadcast by Jon Beare. Thanks mate for all your hard work. The Woman's Hour studio is invaded by Blackadder and Baldrick.

Dickens' classic tale of kindness, truth and virtue completely mucked up and ruined by having a member of the Blackadder family involved. Also Baldrick, of course, the man you can rely on to turn a Christmas dinner into a dog's dinner, as long as the dog isn't particularly fussy. Stuffed with deeply horrid people (many of whom are gigantically fat) and groaning with cartloads of seasonal bottom jokes, it manages to squeeze in not only a Victorian Black Adder but also his famous Elizabethan, Regency and Space Age relatives into a huge pie of entertainment that will satisfy all but the most discriminating viewers.
