  Lord of Adders Black: A Blackadder PodcastEpisode 35: “Scene Stealers and Time Travelers”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 occasional gleeful tangent.In this, our second-last regular episode, we are joined by an old friend of the podcast, GoonPod’s Tyler Adams, to talk about Blackadder: Back & Forth, which was described by its main star as the most expensive and least satisfying half-hour in the canon. Our deep dive into this expensive folly travels back to the turn of the millennium and, true to form, gets lost a couple of times on the way.We also talk about our next podcast project, which we hope will appeal to most of our current listeners, and reveal the long-awaited results of our Scene recent Stealers poll, which yielded a few surprises among the evergreen fan favourites.If you would like to send us a voice message to include in our last ever show, we have set up a special page on SpeakPipe: https://www.speakpipe.com/Lord_Of_Adders_Black.

  Lord of Adders Black: A Blackadder PodcastEpisode 34: “Poetry first, sausage later”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 occasional gleeful tangent.Our special guest in this episode is our good friend Steve Ursell, who makes a strong case for Blackadder Goes Forth being the most truly iconic of the four series. We talk about the memorable characters and storylines, examine the impact that the series has had on British society and cherry-pick our favourite moments from the six episodes.Having already featured in a Major Star and Scene Stealer segment as Queenie and Nurse Mary respectively, Miranda Richardson returns for a third time as the wetter-than-a-haddock’s-costume Amy Hardwood, a mysterious Northern beauty with a dark secret and an even darker hatred of squirrels.
