Lord of Adders Black: A Blackadder Podcast
Episode 1: Best Fighting Trousers On, Chaps!
Welcome to the Lord of Adders Black fan podcast, where Michael and Ian will be exploring the universe of cult sitcom Blackadder.
In this introductory episode, we’ll be talking about our (cunning) plans for a Blackadder podcast – including regular features, special guests and a generous helping of audio clips from our favourite comedies. And, we hope, yours too.
Most of all, this first episode will be a nostalgic time capsule in which we rediscover the TV comedy we knew and loved as nauseating adolescents over ten thousand miles apart in Melbourne (Michael) and Dublin (Ian) and walk a happy mile or two down the winding roads that led us to Blackadder.
Join us for what we are sure will be a fun-packed trip down memory lane – and maybe even an excuse to dust off that DVD box set (and DVD player!) and revisit the series in all its timeless glory.

Episode 2: Repayment or Revenge!
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.
In our second episode – Repayment or Revenge! – we look at the force of nature that is writer and stand-up comedian Ben Elton. As well as revisiting his earlier work, we talk about what Ben brought to the table when he teamed up with Richard Curtis to pen the historic second season of Blackadder.
The first of our regular Scene Stealers segments celebrates Ronald Lacey’s monstrous performance as the Baby-Eating Bishop Of Bath & Wells and looks back at a few of his many memorable roles in film and TV.
We also set the ball rolling with the first selections for our Newbie Playlist, where – together with our listeners and special guests – we compile a list of six episodes best suited to introduce the uninitiated to the foul and fabulous world of Blackadder.
