Lord of Adders Black: A Blackadder Podcast
Episode 21: Shout, Shout and Shout Again!
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.
Rather than having a special guest on as usual, we decided it was time for another two-hander episode – and for a celebration of all things Stephen Fry!
We begin by taking a look at His Tweediness’s work outside Blackadder, including Fry & Laurie, Jeeves & Wooster and his winning way with the written word. And, of course, we take a look at Lord Melchett, General Melchett and the Duke of Wellington, the three main roles he played in the Blackadder canon.
Yes, “canon” – because only girls fight with swords these days …
