Black Rose Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 One of the greatest TV shows ever :) Baldrick, does it have to be this way? Our valued friendship ending with me cutting you up into strips and telling the prince that you walked over a very sharp cattle grid in an extremely heavy hat?

Black Rose Posted August 16, 2008 Author Share Posted August 16, 2008 Why is it that all the greatest TV shows only last a few seasons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Rose Posted August 16, 2008 Author Share Posted August 16, 2008 I think it's best for shows to end before their time is up, before they "jump the shark". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scribble127 Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Nobody else will fuse intelligent writing with potty jokes in such convincing fashion ever again... Throw in some legendary performances and fantastic on screen chemistry, and Blackadder is a unique triumph in British television history. In my opinion, the show improved with every series, ending with the most brilliant moment of dramatic irony: Captain Darling: I say, listen - our guns have stopped. Lieutenant George: You don't think... Private Baldrick: Perhaps the war's over. Perhaps it's peace. Captain Darling: Thank God. We lived through it. The Great War, 1914 to 1917. *Cue collective groan from the audience* Youtube link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Rose Posted August 17, 2008 Author Share Posted August 17, 2008 Whatever they say, one of the greatest endings to a tv series: <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3V698JzqC0&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3V698JzqC0&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> Makes you miss the old roman-numbers system they put on the end of TV shows to show what year they were made, instead of something like MCMLXXXIX these days it's MMVIII <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xkxBmH1TnbQ&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xkxBmH1TnbQ&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Rose Posted December 27, 2008 Author Share Posted December 27, 2008 Good documentary on Blackadder, with interviews with all the cast that was on telly Christmas night. Blackadder Rides Again, and with some rather good music at 57 seconds [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkCjeNF_G4w]YouTube - Blackadder Rides Again Part 1[/ame] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Rose Posted December 27, 2008 Author Share Posted December 27, 2008 It gets repeated quite a bit, but they are not making any new episodes because in the words of the cast "they are too old or in the case of Hugh Laurie, too famous" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
