One of my all time favourite shows.

Plans have hatched to bring the 1980s cult comedy Blackadder back to television screens.
British comedian Rowan Atkinson had told pals he is “extremely excited” about a planned return of cult comedy Blackadder.

The BBC show ran for four seasons from 1983 to 1989, with each set in a different period of history.
The new instalment would be set in the modern era.
Edmund Blackadder — accompanied again by dogsbody Baldrick, played by Robinson, 72 — would be a university lecturer.

Oh my God!

woot!

Sorry Global, as much as I love Blackadder it's done! Any attempts to bring it back, with original or new cast, would just make me feel old and sad.

 

[globaleagle]

Old, me... yes. But hopefully they don't stuff it up.

Haha you may just be old and sad, no need to blame Rowan and Blackadder.
Comedy is often dated though, I always considered the Seinfeld series an all-time comic masterpiece, but very much 'pre-9/11' humour.

I have Rowen Atkinson up their with Ben Elton when it comes to top notch satirical plot writing. Bring it on.
