Passed with flying colours! "Field Marshall Haig is about to make another gargantuan effort to move his drinks cabinet 6 inches closer to Berlin" how useful is this as a historical source? The dumbing down of GCSEs, you wouldn't get a question like that these days!! XX There was a question about Blackadder Goes forth in my GCSE history exam (16 years ago, yes I am over 25).

Mediocre at best. The show that did for me was The Young Ones. Now that I'm a HUGE fan of. Rick and Neil were my fave characters. CLASSIC!

I am 29 but will forever feel like I'm 17. Particularly because I still get asked for ID at the pub. Yeah, because a bottle of red wine, is just the thing a teeny underage drinker would be ordering (where's the rolling eys smiley when you need it!). Watching Trick or Treat on Ch4 at the mo. Quality TV viewing. x @KatM, That is one of the best line ever, amusing and lovely at the same time :-) .

I happened to run into him the other day .. a bit depressed he seemed .. not sure why ... so why not give poor lad a boost ... After all ... his pr for the gay society should be rewarded. Colleagues in the world of media should stick to eachother. I look forward to see Bruno. Love his characters. I find it fascinating, the way he crawls into these characters. He makes me enlightened. Indeed, it is not religion that enlightens me .. but Sacha Baron Cohen. However weird that may sound. He makes me feel as if I am in love. Which I am clearly not, but still ... can't stop feeling it watching these characters. He reminds me of someone in the past I know. The energy pattern they create on the outside by not seeing to their normal selves. Bloody ‘racists’…. why not Bruno?!

Does this tape actually exist? I'm dying. I think the Elizabethan series was the best one of the lot. I don't believe that anyone under 25 dislikes Blackadder, it's too damn good! @Flapjack: are you serious? Does this tape actually exist? I’m dying.

Re-watching it now, there are clearly so many jokes I missed when watching it as a child. I've got an idea! And it's as HOT as my PANTS! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v19/ferkle/jjxnr6.gif Also another under 25 BA fan here.

As well as being absolutely hilarious (and I agree about the 1st series) it has probably the most moving final scene ever seen in a comedy. I tear up everytime I see it. And I have a soft spot for the xmas special too. Sadly, I AM well over 25..... LC x Oh, I absolutely love Blackadder!
