Lord of Adders Black

Lord of Adders Black: A Blackadder PodcastEpisode 15: Christmas SpecialWelcome to a very special Christmas episode of Lord Of Adders Black, where we have invited back two old friends – comedian Harry Hussey and author Jem Roberts – and one new one, Australian podcaster and comedy obsessive Ciarán Moffat.This episode takes the form of a quiz on Blackadder’s Christmas Carol, lovingly compiled and presented by Chairman Jem. Here, two teams – Ireland (Ian and Harry) and Australia (Michael and Ciarán) – face off in a battle of wits, knowledge and ill-educated guesses that seeks to separate the wallabies from the wannabes.By cunning design, the quiz questions also fuel a lively discussion about Blackadder’s Christmas Carol throughout the episode, with merriment and rosy-cheeked caperings aplenty. As ever, we dive off at gleeful tangents before coming to a suitably festive finish where we and our guests wax lyrical about our favourite Christmas films.LOAB T-shirts sold by our friend Mike at Silly Tees, £5 from each purchase to Cancer Research UK:https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/267062769737?_skw=blackadder+lord+of+adders+black&var=566814459346&itmmeta=01JDY19A1FJ4KDQX16M6ZDGV37&hash=item3e2e2e7849:g:q8oAAOSwvbRnNI2jJem Roberts and his creative exploits can be found at:jemroberts.com and talesofbritain.comAudiobook of The True History Of The Black Adder – read by the author himself – available on Audible:https://www.audible.co.uk/pd/The-True-History-of-the-Blackadder-Audiobook/B0C82XDHPY?action_code=ASSGB149080119000H&share_location=pdpYou can find the Ronald Lacey Fans Twitter account at @RonaldLaceyFansThanks to the following communities for their valuable support:Reddit Blackadder community: www.reddit.com/r/blackadder/Blackadder – quotes, clips and pictures: https://www.facebook.com/share/NVQ6pTtJt8Hzve9X/?mibextid=K35XfPThe Ultimate Blackadder Group:https://www.facebook.com/share/aLnsHrXM4FiyejuK/?mibextid=K35XfP Follow us on:Bluesky: @lordofaddersblack.bsky.socialFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61559091752318Instagram: lord_of_adders_blacke-mail: [email protected] credits:Compiled and presented by Ian Winick and Michael J.

Lord of Adders Black: A Blackadder PodcastEpisode 14: Just An Old QuackWelcome to the Lord of Adders Black fan podcast, where Michael and Ian explore the universe of cult sitcom Blackadder while diving off at the odd gleeful tangent.We are joined again by our old friends Paul and Pank to chat about the second half of our Newbie List, featuring our voters’ two favourite episodes from Blackadder Goes Forth and their favourite episode of all: Ink & Incapability from Blackadder III. We talk about the love of language at the heart of Blackadder and the sheer emotional punch packed by that final episode. And Paul recalls what it was like to hobnob with Rik Mayall.Our Scene Stealer is John Grillo, who gives a memorably unpleasant turn as the schoolmasterish Doctor Leech in the evergreen Series Two episode Bells and who, it is safe to say, would probably have his own column in the Daily Mail today.Also, stay tuned for a very special Christmas episode of Lord Of Adders Black which will be out in time for Christmas.

Lord of Adders Black: A Blackadder PodcastEpisode 13: Begone, Satan!Welcome to the Lord of Adders Black fan podcast, where Michael and Ian explore the universe of cult sitcom Blackadder while diving off at the odd gleeful tangent.The Scene Stealer for our thirteenth episode is the force of nature that is Miriam Margoyles as Lady Whiteadder, just one of the memorable roles she brought to life throughout the Blackadder saga. We talk about her slap-happy rehearsal methods, her portrayal of Edmund’s fiercely puritanical aunt and the disastrously low tolerance for alcohol that seems to run in the family genes.As our scheduled ‘newbie’ was forced to cancel, we have been joined by two ‘oldies’ instead – that is … two old friends of the show, Paul and Pank. During the first of a two-part interview, they discuss the six episodes on our Newbie List with us, cherry-picking their favourite moments and revealing how Blackadder has been a constant presence in their lives.And we introduce the Lord Of Adders Black range of t-shirts sold by our friend Mike at Silly Tees, with £5 from each purchase going to Cancer Research UK.https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/267062769737?_skw=blackadder+lord+of+adders+black&var=566814459346&itmmeta=01JDY19A1FJ4KDQX16M6ZDGV37&hash=item3e2e2e7849:g:q8oAAOSwvbRnNI2j You can find the episode of Flixwatchers where Michael and Ian talk about Hot Fuzz at the following link – or on your podcast app of choice: https://flixwatcher.tv/episode-362-hot-fuzz-with-michael-and-ian-from-lord-of-adders-black-a-blackadder-podcast/ More information about Jem Roberts and his creative exploits can be found at: jemroberts.com and talesofbritain.com The audiobook of The True History Of The Black Adder – read by the author himself – is available on Audible: Follow us on:Twitter: @LordAddersBlack Bluesky: @lordofaddersblack.bsky.social Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61559091752318 Instagram: lord_of_adders_black e-mail: [email protected] Podcast credits: Compiled and presented by Ian Winick and Michael J.

Lord of Adders Black: A Blackadder Podcast Episode 12: Hello Sailor! Welcome to the Lord of Adders Black fan podcast, where Michael and Ian explore the universe of cult sitcom Blackadder while diving off at the odd gleeful tangent.This episode’s special guest is Welsh man-mountain John Pierce Jones, who played Arthur The Sailor in the iconic Blackadder II episode, Money. John talks to us about his career as a bilingual TV, film and theatre actor, and about all the fun he had working and socialising with the Blackadder team. He also mentions the time he borrowed co-star Robert de Niro’s on-set trailer and ate all his fruit. This time around, our scene stealer is veteran actor Frank Finlay, who cut a memorably scary figure as the titular character in the Witchsmeller Pursuivant in the first series. We take a brief look at his illustrious career, recall how he ended up stranded in the wintry wilds of Northumberland after recording the episode, and offer a time-saving tip for any listeners who are thinking of summoning the devil in the comfort of their own homes. More information about Jem Roberts and his creative exploits can be found at:jemroberts.com and talesofbritain.comThe audiobook of The True History Of The Black Adder – read by the author himself – is available on Audible:https://www.audible.co.uk/pd/The-True-History-of-the-Blackadder-Audiobook/B0C82XDHPY?action_code=ASSGB149080119000H&share_location=pdp As always, you can find the Ronald Lacey Fans Twitter account at @RonaldLaceyFans Thanks to the following communities for their valuable support: Reddit Blackadder community: www.reddit.com/r/blackadder/ Blackadder – quotes, clips and pictures: https://www.facebook.com/share/NVQ6pTtJt8Hzve9X/?mibextid=K35XfP The Ultimate Blackadder Group: https://www.facebook.com/share/aLnsHrXM4FiyejuK/?mibextid=K35XfP Follow us on Twitter: @LordAddersBlack Bluesky: @lordofaddersblack.bsky.social Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61559091752318 Instagram: lord_of_adders_blacke-mail: [email protected] Podcast credits:Compiled and presented by Ian Winick and Michael J.
