Blackadder Remastered – The Ultimate Edition
It has been quite a while since I last updated Blackadder Hall; to be honest, there has been hardly anything of great worth to write about so the site has been ticking along on its own for the past couple of years. However, time has come for me to do a little bit of updating […]
A Blackadder Homage in Song
This just in from Blackadder fan Tarjei.. “This is just a link to a song I made, originally in 94, but I recorded it a couple of months ago, and made this (rather silly) slideshow in order to put it on youtube. Anyway, spot the quotes! Almost all the lyrics are snippets from blackadder 4, […]
Blackadder meets Shakespeare – NOT Blackadder
Hot news just in. I emailed writer Richard Curtis regarding the charity sketch that has for a long time been considered a ‘Blackadder’ special.

Blackadder Rides Again for Christmas
As mentioned by me some time ago, Blackadder will be making a return to BBC1 this Christmas, albeit in a documentary celebrating 25 years. The programme will be called “Blackadder Rides Again” – a title which will no doubt confuse viewers; leading them to think that its an actual one-off sitcom special and not a […]

At the recent Blackadder talk at the Cheltenham Literature Festival, writer Richard Curtis revealed the original title for The Black Adder.

But I’m […]
