  Lord of Adders Black: A Blackadder PodcastEpisode 30: “An Absolutely Scrummy Dream About Ponies”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.This episode opens with a Points Of View-type segment where we channel our inner Anne Robinson (albeit less grumpy) and present a selection of messages and voice recordings from listeners around the world waxing lyrical on Harry Enfield, Baldrick and some of our recent guests.Continuing our Major Star series, we also look at Miranda Richardson’s extraordinary performance as the young Queen Bess, memorably described by Richard Curtis as “a strange mixture of woman, child, nymphomaniac and tyrant”. As well as casting an eye over Miranda’s career – and reflecting on why so much of it seems to have passed us by – we revisit our favourite quintessential Queenie moments in Blackadder II.If you would like to send a voice message to include in the show, we have set up a page on SpeakPipe:https://www.speakpipe.com/Lord_Of_Adders_BlackLink to Ciarán’s new podcast:https://bio.link/thesoundofLink to Fandomental podcast (episode on 31 August):FandomentalsPodcast | Instagram | LinktreeMore 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 is available on Audible:https://www.audible.co.uk/pd/The-True-History-of-the-Blackadder-Audiobook/B0C82XDHPY?action_code=ASSGB149080119000H&share_location=pdpThanks 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=K35XfPFollow us onBluesky: @lordofaddersblack.bsky.socialFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61559091752318 Instagram: lord_of_adders_black e-mail: [email protected] credits:Compiled and presented by Ian Winick and Michael J.

• Bonus Episode 06 - "Ted Talk", on Father Ted

  Lord of Adders Black: A Blackadder Podcast Bonus Episode 6: “Ted Talk” Down with this sort of thing! (Careful now.) One of our ideas for bonus episodes was to introduce each other to sitcoms that we love. This time around, Ian initiates Michael into the weird and wonderful world of Father Ted, which was hugely popular in Britain and Ireland in the mid- to late 90s and, like Blackadder, is still widely loved, watched and quoted to this day. In this special “Ted Talk”, we examine why an oddball comedy about three priests on a remote island should strike such a chord with audiences – and special guest Fearghal Traynor pops in to share a few insights about the innate Irishness of Father Ted.

• "Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom!"

  Lord of Adders Black: A Blackadder Podcast Episode 29: “Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom!” 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 two-hander Baldrick special – which was almost called A Turnip For The Books – we look at the various incarnations of Blackadder’s longsuffering sidekick throughout that dastardly dynasty, from Baldrick Son of Robin The Dung Gatherer to Private S. Baldrick in the trenches of the Somme. As well as casting an eye over Sir Tony Robinson’s career before and after his big break in The Black Adder, we attempt to pinpoint the traits that are unique to the Baldrick character in each series – and choose our all-time favourite moments.

• A Lorry-Load of Paper Clips

  Lord of Adders Black: A Blackadder PodcastEpisode 28: “A Lorry-Load Of Paper Clips”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 episode, we are joined by budding comedy writer and Blackadder enthusiast Molly McDade, who talks about why Tim McInnerny’s Captain Darling is her favourite character in Blackadder Goes Forth. With Molly’s help, we also solve the age-old question of whether carrier pigeons really are in their prime in their mid-fifties.After some … robust feedback from listeners, we take a belated look at Harry Enfield’s contribution to character sketch comedy in the 1990s while also listing our five favourite British sitcoms. Following up on the last episode’s trivia question, we also take a look at Lee Cornes’ three small roles in Blackadder and find out why Rowan Atkinson’s mention of a chap called Bob almost got the Blackadder team into legal hot water.If you would like to send us a voice message to include in the show, we have set up a special page on SpeakPipe: https://www.speakpipe.com/Lord_Of_Adders_Black.

• A Viciously Sharp Slice Of Mango

  Lord of Adders Black: A Blackadder Podcast Episode 27: “A Viciously Sharp Slice Of Mango” 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. This time around, our special guest is writer David Quantick. Already a familiar name to music and comedy enthusiasts, his novel All My Colours came out in April 2019 to great acclaim and his first collection of short stories, And Other Stories, is due out in August 2025. David talks to us about taking comedy beyond the stodgily conventional and why Blackadder Goes Forth in particular is unique among sitcoms. In our Scene Stealer segment, we also shine a spotlight on sitcom veteran Geoffrey Palmer, who makes a short but memorable appearance as Field-Marshal Sir Douglas Haig in the final episode of Blackadder Goes Forth. Cue a plan that proves less than cunning and a phrase that rhymes with “clucking bell”.°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°° Here is a link to the Lord Of Adders Black range of t-shirts sold on eBay by our friend Mike at Silly Tees, with £5 from each purchase going to Cancer Research UK – short link here: https://shorturl.at/6H6Q8 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 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=K35XfPThe Ultimate Blackadder Group: https://www.facebook.com/share/aLnsHrXM4FiyejuK/?mibextid=K35XfP Follow us on 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.
