Could you mount a strong defence of why Series 1 Blackadder stands among the comedy greats? Not many can (or want to!) but I have done exactly that in this new Lord of Adders Black podcast. Take a listen via the link below. My bit starts 21:50 into the ep.

Nicely done!
Still rocks me that Looney Tunes did a better job of handling this history than 99% of politicians, textbooks, and media

Always a pleasure to hear the boys... And I've long been a fan of Mrs Miggins.
This week’s Major Star is Mrs Miggins, a welcome female addition to the sausage fest that is Blackadder The Third. Far from having a “brain the size of a sultana” she reveals herself to be a canny businesswoman with a floury finger on the pulse of the times.

Another great episode, lovingly smothered in a scarlet pimpernel sauce. And a great discussion on Series 1 and why it should not be ignored. Apart from the portrayal of Edmund.

Now, I would like to discuss this Red Dwarf business, and one of our hosts not enjoying it... this is just NOT ON!...

So much for Eccles' theory, @goonpod.bsky.social ...
‘Nickname’ is not ‘nick’ + ‘name.’

It was originally ‘ekename.’

‘Eke’ was the Middle English word for “also” or “in addition.”

Since ‘ekename’ began with a vowel, people used ‘an’ before it.

Over time, 'an ekename' became 'a nickname.'

I like the Carry On films but the lore is too confusing, impossible for modern audiences to accept these people could play a major part in the French Revolution AND lose their bras on camping holidays

Brilliant episode on Fry & Laurie (from 2018). And especially nice to see Soupy Twists by @jemroberts.bsky.social get the love it deserves.

My son, who is tall, dark, slim and has the suggestion of Christopher Lee about him, is going on a Halloween pub crawl tomorrow night. They all have to dress as classic horror monsters. He asked for my Amazon login as he was going to buy some Dracula fangs. Fair enough.

Just checked my orders

Loved hearing Ian and Michael talking about one of the great underrated TV shows of the past 20 years. So much incredible stuff in this show - the plots, the songs, the guest stars, the characters. But just Brett and Jermaine in particular. Magnificent. Watch it - after listening to this of course!

Speaking of turmoil, it feels like there is a fair bit of it prevalent worldwide at the moment.
However, a quick listen to this podcast episode, followed by @mocca1976.bsky.social choice of Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds should do nicely.
Another great ep from @thesoundofcmoffatt.bsky.social
In some added Turmoil this week I've been notified that the show has earned its first copyright strike!

I suggest listening to the unexpurgated episode ASAP in case they don't accept my response and I'm forced to remove and edit it.

Tell your friends.
