I do not find my name remotely funny, and people who do end up dead. I challenge you to a duel tonight at 18 hundred hours in which you will die.
Yours with sincere apologies for your impending violent slaughter,

The utterly wonderful Elspet Gray 😍
She, Brian Blessed and Robert East were my favourite things about The Black Adder.
Oh ... and Miriam Margoyles and Jim Broadbent too!

Our Christmas special takes the form of a quiz on Blackadder’s Christmas Carol, lovingly compiled and presented by Chairman Jem Robert. Here, two teams – Ireland and Australia (Michael and Ciarán) – face off in a battle of wits, knowledge and ill-educated guesses.

Here's the first ever Blackadder debate on Bluesky! Which is the greatest of the 4 Blackadder series?
4-3-1-2 for me. I hold the controversial view that S2 is a distant last.
Reply to this post with your order, and why your no.1 is greatest.

With referees now having to explain VAR decisions to stadiums, can I suggest some media training for them?
I can recommend actors with the requisite gravitas to help them command 60000 people.
These gents are available & come with a royal seal of approval👇🏻
