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?

"great boo is up" :laugh3:

Why is it that all the greatest TV shows only last a few seasons?

i dunno :( what is their : fawlty towers, blackadder, father ted, the office, ripping yarns.....there's lost more....well i think they're classic :D

I think it's best for shows to end before their time is up, before they "jump the shark".

i dunno :( what is their : fawlty towers, blackadder, father ted, the office, ripping yarns.....there's lost more....well i think they're classic :D

 

I assume you mean the UK version of the Office and not the USA version? ;)

:laugh3: no the south african version :rolleyes: they're probs is one :laugh3:

Who knows ;)

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*

Whatever they say, one of the greatest endings to a tv series:

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

Blackadder's Christmas Carol - best christmas special ever

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]

is this show on telly again... i mean i thought it was something a bit old.

too bad that those things aren't shown here :(

we only know Rowan for his Mr. Bean show.

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"
