I just wanted to share with you an image sent in from a Blackadder fan over in the U S of A..
Not content with buying all the DVDs, books and videos, this mad bint has got her own personalised car registration plate.
I for one think its bloody brilliant and shows dedication to the Blackadder cause.
Thanks for sharing. If you’re in Connecticut and you spot it, do honk your horn!
After more than 10 years since they last collaborated on Blackadder Back & Forth, Richard Curtis and Ben Elton are writing new material together.
“I’ve just started working on a new project with Richard,” Elton explained at the first night of Cirque du Soleil’s Totem at the Royal Albert Hall. “It’s been a long time since we worked together so it is fun.”
Curtis, who went on to write and direct, is, however, unlikely to be creating another series of Blackadder with Elton.
“It is so lovely that everyone wants it back that it’s almost a shame to do it and ruin that,” says Elton. “The new stuff will be original, but I can’t reveal anymore than that.”

I originally saw this story on the telegraph, but they incorrectly stated that it had been over 20 years since they had worked together. What’s funny is that they lead the story with a still from Blackadder Back & Forth.
Back in 2004, the BBC broadcast a series that wanted to find ‘Britain’s Best Sitcom’. The British public voted by phone and text during 2003 to decide on the top 100. With the results in, the top 10 were produced and a celebrity advocate of a sitcom was chosen to put their case to the public to ultimately decide on what would be the greatest sitcom.
John Sergeant states why ‘Blackadder’ is his favourite sitcom.
I’ve finally uploaded the audio from the 2008 Cheltenham Literary Festival talk with Richard Curtis, John Lloyd and Tony Robinson; You’ll find it in the library under ‘other stuff’. Or you could just click here.
