Thanks to everyone who participated in the Blackadder Millennium Survey. Below you will find the results in a tabular form (although in no particular order). Hope you enjoy reading them as much as I did. You may agree with some of the results and others you might find quite surprising. Anyway, enough of my rambling, here are the results.<\/p>\n
Q1: What character from the Blackadder series would you most like to spend New Year’s Eve with?<\/strong> Some of the miscellaneous include: Mr. Ploppy, Mrs. Miggins, Lady Whiteadder & Wee Jock Poo McPlop.<\/p>\n Q2: If you could travel in time, where and what time period would you go to?<\/strong> Some of the miscellaneous include: The moon 1969, I want to stay here and now, two Sundays ago, 70’s & 80’s.<\/p>\n Q3: Do you think time travel is possible? Q4: What is your favourite Blackadder episode?<\/strong> ‘Beer’ seems to be the most popular episode. It seems that a turnip that is shaped like a thingy amuses everyone, regardless of geographical location.<\/p>\n Q5: If you could create a series of the Blackadder, which historic time period would you choose?<\/strong> Some of the strangest settings include: Blackadder as a superhero, a Robin Hood setting, Australian penal colonies, and 1930’s New York in a mafia setting.<\/p>\n Q6: What is your favourite line from the Blackadder series?<\/strong><\/p>\n The most popular was ‘I have a cunning plan!’<\/p>\n With ‘We’re in the stickiest situation since Sticky the stick insect got stuck on a sticky bun.’ Coming second.<\/p>\n An honourable mention goes to: ‘I’d rather be a lapdog to a slip of a girl than a…..git!’<\/p>\n Q7: What is your favourite root vegetable?<\/strong> Amazingly, people seem to think that corn, peas, mushrooms, tomatoes & Baldrick are root vegetables. Although Baldrick is excusable.<\/p>\n Q8: Do you think there should be another series of the Blackadder?<\/strong> Q9: Will you be visiting Skyscape to see Blackadder Back and Forth?<\/strong> Q10: Favourite series based on question 4<\/strong> Like I said at the top, there are some very surprising results.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Thanks to everyone who participated in the Blackadder Millennium Survey.
