Friday Funny: Blackadder

[MoeFOH]

Revisited this series recently... seasons 2-4 are pure gold... Rowan Atkinson genius. And Stephen Fry as General Melchett... 

Give it a rewatch if you haven't in a while... and if you've never taken it on do yourself a favour! Post up your favourite clips.

Yep. Hugh Laurie. One of the many outstanding talents in this group and that crop of English comedians. Long-time collaborator with Stephen Fry. Amazing cast all round.

For something completely, completely different -- and a great adaptation of the John le Carré -- check out Hugh Laurie in The Night Manager.  Great mini series IMO.

A bit of Frye and Laurie is pretty hilarious.

Baldrick rides again!    If anyone is interested in the UK they are about to do some sort of Blackadder revisit, though I'm not sure Rowan has agreed to be in it.  I have no idea how that even works.

Hugh Laurie is also a great jazz pianist. Very talented fellow.

 

Also in the UK currently (in real life) Brexit is such a f-ing pathetic disaster. That we have food shortages, and are being advised to make do and eat turnips!!   The minister delivering this message happens to be rather rotund, which makes the news even harder to swallow.     Baldrick as many fans know has a soft spot for eating turnips.

Not a huge Jazz fan but I can get behind this album cover 100%.

He is a good musician
