Update: (24\/08\/15)<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have just received confirmation from one of the creators of the series that this is just another one of those utter nonsense rumours that pop-up every year. It isn’t happening folks.. Stand down, move along, there’s nothing to see here.<\/p>\n

Original story:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Another year, another Blackadder rumour and like the past couple, this one again comes from the mouth of Sir Tony Robinson.<\/p>\n

As usual I’ve reached out to those who would know about these sort of things and will update the post when I know more.<\/p>\n

Sir Tony is currently promoting his new Channel 4 series Time Crashers<\/em>.<\/p>\n

THE stars of Blackadder have a cunning plan to bring the show back after 26 years.<\/p>\n

Sir Tony Robinson, who played hapless Baldrick, revealed he has spoken with the rest of the cast about a new series.<\/p>\n

And he said they were all in favour of reviving the comedy \u2014 despite joking that the producers might not now be able to afford US TV megastar Hugh Laurie.<\/p>\n

Sir Tony, 69, said: \u201cI do think a new series of Blackadder is on the cards. I have spoken to virtually all the cast about this now.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe only problem is Hugh\u2019s fee. He\u2019s a huge star now \u2014 or so he\u2019d like to think.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sir Tony, admitted any comeback risks disappointing the millions of fans of the original four series. He added: \u201cExpectations for a new series will be high because people not only remember the original, they remember who they were when it was on. It\u2019s a big danger.\u201d<\/p>\n

The last Blackadder series debuted on the BBC in 1989.<\/p>\n

Sir Tony later presented Time Team, Rowan Atkinson created Mr Bean and Hugh Laurie became one of America\u2019s top TV stars, earning \u00a3250,000 per episode of House.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
