I guess it\u2019s been a while since I\u2019ve sent you an email, and to be honest, I\u2019d just use the BA Hall forums for this message if they were currently up and running. But seeing as they\u2019re not\u2026<\/p>\n
Anyway, evidently Stephen Fry participated in another live web chat just a couple of days ago, and as per usual, questions were asked about Blackadder, and his answers ended up reflected in certain media megaphones. Also as per usual. Isn\u2019t it wacky how this particular series of events just seem to endlessly repeat themselves? As I\u2019m sure you\u2019ll be amazed to learn (if you don\u2019t already know), the Sun latched onto his comments, and this time the focus was on Ben Elton\u2019s idea for a BA film set in the Russian Revolution. The comedy websites Chortle.co.uk and Funny.co.uk picked up on this \u201cnews\u201d. In fact, the Funny site has a link to the entire Fry webchat, if you\u2019re interested in checking it out. It mentions some interesting details about various upcoming projects he\u2019s involved in.<\/p>\n
I dunno why I feel compelled to share this information with people, seeing as it\u2019s not really \u201cnews\u201d in any real sense\u2026though the most interesting thing Fry had to say was that he chatted with Rowan Atkinson via the phone last week – RA was in France filming the Bean sequel – and Rowan apparently made another pronouncement about how much he\u2019d love to return to the Blackadder universe. I suppose I\u2019m grasping at straws, but who knows? Maybe something will happen at some point\u2026it\u2019s at least encouraging that the star of the series wants to do another one\u2026<\/p>\n
