From the team behind the Columbo Podcast and the Jonathan Creek Podcast comes the Blackadder Podcast, an affectionate retrospective of the iconic BBC comedy series. The show will look at each series of Blackadder, as well as the special episodes, beginning with Blackadder II (don't worry, we'll circle around to The Black Adder in due course!).

Bells was the first episode of Blackadder II as the show returned after the two-and-a-half year hiatus that followed The Black Adder. This series is set in Elizabethan London and re-introduced audiences to Rowan Atkinson and Tony Robinson in their now-familiar roles as Blackadder and Baldrick. In this podcast Gerry and Iain take a look at the plot, characters, actors and others involved in the creation of Bells as well as some more general thoughts on the series.

Head was the second episode of Blackadder II and features a new course of employment for Lord Blackadder and a couple of cracking impersonations. In this podcast Gerry and Iain take a look at life working on death row in Elizabethan London.

Potato was the third episode of Blackadder II and features an epic voyage of discovery, a remarkable historical figure and a unique, if somewhat eccentric, captain.  In this podcast Gerry and Iain take a look at fine wine from distant shores and other such riches.

Money was the fourth episode of Blackadder II and features Edmund's increasingly desperate endeavours to raise enough cash to settle a debt owed to the Bank of the Black Monks.  In this podcast Gerry and Iain take a look at a delicious piece of blackmail.
