"I've always had my doubts about you early order type fellows. Always suspected there might be a bit too much of the battle-dodging, nappy-wearing, I'd rather have a cup of tea than charge stark-naked at the Aussies about you!"

Pitchblacksteed followers star in new podcast out today! The best of your comments on my recent post about Blackadder series 1 (good and bad) are a central element of a podcast out today in which I speak up for S1. Many of you are named.

On the left is me after an abscess sent me to dental hospital last night. It reminded me of Baldrick after his encounter with the Spanish Infanta. Why am I telling you this? Well, today my 55-min podcast interview on Blackadder S1 is live. Listen here: shows.acast.com/663dc3b21f99...
Ian and Michael, thank you for letting me loose on S1. A passion of mine, and I am not alone!
“I've come to think of you as a sort of son. Not a favourite son, of course, Lord no, more a sort of illegitimate backstairs sprog. You know, the sort of spotty squit that nobody really likes, but, nonetheless, still fruit of my overactive loins.”

If even half the sods in this land who claim to love #Blackadder had bought the official, ultimate guide to the show, The True History of the Black Adder, in any format, I probably wouldn’t wake up worried at 4am quite so often. www.hive.co.uk/Product/J-F-... @pitchblacksteed.bsky.social

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.

My bit starts at 21:52
The rest of the ep's not bad either!
Thanks in advance to anyone who listens.

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,

“But you do think Johnson's a genius?”
“No sir, I do not. Unless, of course, the definition of genius in his ridiculous dictionary is 'a fat dullard or wobble-bottom; a pompous ass with sweaty dewflaps'.”

“Um, you eat your servants?”
“No, sir — I eat *off* them. Why should I spend good money on tables when I have men standing idle?”

"Is Captain Rum joining us for this 'bring a sample' party?"

“Please, My Lord, I beg you to reconsider.
“You know I'd take any other way.”
“I'll die in there.”
“Don't worry, we'll give you a hero's funeral. Bury you at sea, say you died in combat with an enemy vessel.”

This fox has executed a plan so cunning you could brush your teeth with it to get this rather splendid bed.
