    Hello Sailor!

    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.com The 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_black e-mail: lordofaddersblack@gmx.net  Podcast credits: Compiled and presented by Ian Winick and Michael J.

    Up Diddly Up!

    Lord of Adders Black: A Blackadder Podcast Episode 11: Up Diddly Up! 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. Our special guest in Episode 11 is Mark, aka @pitchblacksteed, who is the brains – and the heart – behind the longstanding King Of Blackadder fan community on Twitter. Mark talks to us about his enduring love for Blackadder, the rewarding interactions with fellow fans from all over the world and the endless fun that comes from applying Blackadder quotes to real-life situations. And who better as a scene stealer than a man who can “give multiple orgasms to the furniture just by sitting on it”: Squadron Commander, the Lord Flashheart, played by the much-missed Rik Mayall. We compare the WWI fighter ace with his cross-dressing ancestor from Blackadder II, identify possible signs of narcissism and discuss why Rowan Atkinson deems this the performance of Rik’s career. °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°  If you’re on Twitter, you can join the King Of Blackadder community at @pitchblacksteed.

    Ten Shun!

    Lord of Adders Black: A Blackadder Podcast  Episode 10: Ten Shun!  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. As the title suggests, our tenth episode has a military theme as our friend Kevin Brown – formerly a lowly Lance Corporal in the British army before moving to Canada to scale the dizzying heights of podcast fame – drops in on our squalid bit of line to talk about Blackadder Goes Forth and how accurately it portrays military life. This time around, our Scene Stealer is Warren Clarke, who gave a memorable performance as Amy’s pig-loving father Mr Hardwood in the penultimate episode of Blackadder The Third. We take a look at his long and varied career as a character actor, how he ended up hamming it up on the Blackadder set (pun intended) and how Les Dawson was an unlikely source of inspiration. °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°  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: 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: The King Of Blackadder Twitter community: @pitchblacksteed 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_black  e-mail: lordofaddersblack@gmx.net   Podcast credits:  Compiled and presented by Ian Winick and Michael J.

    Lord of Adders Black: A Blackadder Podcast Episode 9: A Comedy History Jem (Part Two) 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. Our ninth episode concludes our two-part interview with Jem Roberts, author of The True History Of The Black Adder, who talks to us about writing and researching his favourite book (and ours!) – with input from virtually everyone of note in the Blackadder universe. This time around, our Scene Stealer is the late and much missed Robbie Coltrane in his role as the phrasmotically pompous Dr Johnson in Ink & Incapability, the episode that topped our Newbie list poll. We also look at other memorable roles that Robbie has brought to life and demonstrate how to single out his laugh in a studio audience. As ever, there are lashings of trivia, listener messages and more audio clips than you can shake a stick at! °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°  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: 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: The King Of Blackadder Twitter community: @pitchblacksteed 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_black  e-mail: lordofaddersblack@gmx.net  Podcast credits:  Compiled and presented by Ian Winick and Michael J.

    Lord of Adders Black: A Blackadder Podcast  Episode 8: A Comedy History Jem (Part One)  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 tangent.  We kick off episode number eight with a Scene Stealer feature on Peter Cook, who lost his head in the very first outing of The Black Adder – but not before defining the landscape of British comedy as we know it.  All great TV comedy stories start with Peter Cook and our special guest’s is no exception. This episode includes the first of a two-part interview with Jem Roberts, writer of The True History Of The Black Adder and the official biographer of Fry & Laurie, Douglas Adams and other leading lights of comedy.   Here, Jem recounts some of the many rosy-cheeked caperings that occurred while researching his labour of love, such as being gifted with the unpublished Blackadder In Bethlehem script by Richard Curtis, revisiting unused sketches with Stephen Fry – and not being sued by Rowan Atkinson.    °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°  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: 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: The King Of Blackadder Twitter community: @pitchblacksteed 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_black e-mail: lordofaddersblack@gmx.net Podcast credits: Compiled and presented by Ian Winick and Michael J.

    Lord of Adders Black: A Blackadder Podcast  Bonus Episode 1: Bottomless Pitt – a full interview with Simon Osborne (Pitt The Younger)   If you’re reading this, then one of us is on holiday or life has dropped a spanner in our usual clockwork schedule. Which is why it always pays to have a bonus episode or two at the ready!  This one contains our full interview with Simon Osborne, who played the wonderfully snotty Pitt The Younger in Dish & Dishonesty, the fast-paced opener for the third season of Blackadder.   Parts have already been included in Episodes 5 and 6, but almost half of the interview – like Baldrick’s trousers – has never been aired before.  We hope you enjoy the chat with Simon and will be back with a new episode very soon.  °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°  You can find Simon Osborne on Twitter at @SimonOsbornePTY  Check out his website and blog at:  https://www.historypitt.co.uk/  https://historypitt.wordpress.com/    As always, you can find the Ronald Lacey Fans Twitter account at @RonaldLaceyFans  Thanks to the following communities for their valuable support:  The King Of Blackadder Twitter community: @pitchblacksteed  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_black  e-mail: lordofaddersblack@gmx.net  Podcast credits:  Compiled and presented by Ian Winick and Michael J.

    Lord of Adders Black: A Blackadder Podcast  Episode 7: No Word For ‘Fluffy’    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 tangent.  Episode number seven has a distinctly international flair, with voice messages from far-flung listeners sparking lively discussions about people actually called Blackadder in real life and what cameos Mel Smith and Griff Rhys Jones might have had in Blackadder The Third.  We also chat with German linguist and comedy enthusiast Felix Anker about getting English comedy to work in other languages and whether his fellow countrymen and women get a rougher deal than most at the hands of the various Blackadders.  And delving into our Trivia Treasure Trove, we discover that there is a very good reason why the Blackadder canon is positively riddled with Bernards…  °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°  You can find Felix Anker on Twitter at @bananentupper and check out his stories (in English and German) at https://linktr.ee/felixanker   As always, you can find the Ronald Lacey Fans Twitter account at @RonaldLaceyFans   Thanks to the following communities for their valuable support:  The King Of Blackadder Twitter community: @pitchblacksteed  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_black  e-mail: lordofaddersblack@gmx.net    Podcast credits:  Compiled and presented by Ian Winick and Michael J.

Our sixth episode includes the second part of our interview with that splendid acting fellow, Simon Osborne, who played the scheming adolescent Pitt The Younger in the opening episode of Blackadder The Third. This time around, our Scene Stealer is Ade Edmondson as the Red Baron, the gentleman flyer with a taste for bad puns and toilet humour. We also look at the other roles that Ade has played during his long and fulfilling career and at his longstanding double act with the much-missed Rik Mayall. Speaking of toilet humour, Viz magazine gets a mention in our trivia question and we discover that there is not one but two links between Blackadder and The Rocky Horror Picture Show …  ***  If you haven’t shared your Newbie List picks with us, it only takes two minutes.
