One Sunday
evening, back in the early 90's, I flopped down on the couch for some
creative channel surfing.
On BBC
World, I found something with a castle, which peaked my interest. I
like castles, you see. Then I saw Rowan Atkinson, who I recognized
from Mr. Bean, but this wasn't that. Oh no, this was my first glimpse
of Blackadder, and I've been hooked ever since.
I have
long since lost count of how many times I have watched the four
original seasons, but I still know most lines by heart, even though
it's been more than twenty years now. I have seen the specials,
Blackadder back and forth, The Blackadder Christmas special and the
Cavalier Years. They're good, but not as good as the originals.
Last week,
I stumbled on Blackadder – The Whole Rotten Saga, and thought to my
self, Hello, a new special?
Alas, no. It's not a new special but rather a 90 minute documentary
about the show. Interviews with all the original actors, the writers
and producers. If you ever watched Blackadder and thought it was
funny, you should watch this, you really should.
So
here you go, The whole rotten saga:
