It's a topic that he knows bloomin well... As we found out. It'll be a fascinating listen.

I’ve got a podcast! When I watched the nuclear war film Threads at the age of 11 it terrified me and changed my life forever.

I started the pod to speak to other people whose lives have been changed by Threads, from cast and crew members, to extras, broadcasters, authors and super fans. Out now!

Apoh-loh gee or whatever for the late post. But, as ever, a fine episode with former Lord Adders sparring partner @journopaulb.bsky.social on fine form as ever.

Lord of Adders Black: A Blackadder Podcast @lordofaddersblack.bsky.social · 9d

Here, a little later than usual (due to personal circs) is the latest episode, fittingly titled "Many Apoh-loh-ghies for the Inconwenience".

We also welcome back an old friend of the show, Paul @journopaulb.bsky.social, who waxes lyrical about Blackadder II.

No new episode from us today, but why not catch up on some old ones? So many fab guests... @allthatchas.bsky.social was on our last one to discuss his #Threads obsession. We also talk #Eurythmics with this gorgeous collab with Elvis Costello "Adrian".

From this day in 2017.

A group shot the cast from "Friends" except the three men all have the bandaged head of the traffic warden from "Threads" (1984) and all of the women now have the head of a woman with severe radiation burns. The title has been changed to "Threads".
