Lord of Adders Black: A Blackadder PodcastEpisode 30: “Many Apoh-loh-ghies for the Inconwenience”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.As the title might suggest, the Scene Stealer for this episode is none other than the dastardly Prince Ludwig, a man whose powers of disguise know no limits – apart from, it would seem, his accent. We look at Hugh Laurie’s first major role in Blackadder and speculate on who else could have played that role and in what direction they might have taken it.This episode also introduces the first of four interviews with special guests making the case about why their own preferred series of Blackadder is THE definitive one. To set the turnip rolling, we are joined by fellow podcaster, Queen fan and long-time friend of the show, Paul Bradbury, who waxes lyrical about his own personal favourite, Blackadder II.
