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.

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.'
