Press clippings
Although it was nearly canned after its first run in 1983, Blackadder as a series ran for six years (while spanning 500 years of history), making household names of its stars. This has more padding than Nursie's bustle and Rowan Atkinson is conspicuous by his absence but interviews with Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie in particular make the 25th anniversary special - first shown in October last year - thoroughly entertaining.
