What's Funny About...

Series 1, Episode 4 - Blackadder

Peter Fincham and Jon Plowman talk to John Lloyd and Sir Tony Robinson about the making of the comic historic saga. They discuss the endless problems they had when making the first series ("the show that looked a million dollars and cost a million pounds"), and the importance of failure. They also open up about the tensions amongst the team, the "ladder of stupidity" in Blackadder's world, and the real story behind that famous final scene.
