Lord of Adders Black: A Blackadder Podcast

Bonus Episode 09: “Porridge”

Welcome to the Lord of Adders Black fan podcast, where Michael and Ian explore the universe of cult sitcom Blackadder while diving off at the occasional gleeful tangent.

For this bonus episode, we are joined by prolific podcaster and popular man about town Kevin Brown to talk about his favourite sitcom, Porridge. We shine a spotlight on what is arguably Ronnie Barker’s greatest comic creation, loveable lag Fletch, together with a boisterous cast of characters and three series of finely crafted, timeless comedy.

Lord of Adders Black: A Blackadder Podcast

Bonus Episode 09: “Uncut Jem”

Welcome to the Lord of Adders Black fan podcast, where Michael and Ian explore the universe of cult sitcom Blackadder while diving off at the occasional gleeful tangent.

This bonus episode contains the full interview with Jem Roberts, friend of the show and author of The True History Of The Black Adder, two parts of which were released back in the mists of September and October 2024.

Here, Jem recounts some of the many rosy-cheeked caperings that occurred while researching his labour of love, such as Richard Curtis bestowing the unpublished Blackadder In Bethlehem script upon him, Stephen Fry bestowing unused sketches upon him – and, thankfully, Rowan Atkinson’s lawyers failing to bestow anything unpleasant upon him.

Lord of Adders Black: A Blackadder Podcast

Episode 35: “Scene Stealers and Time Travelers”

Welcome to the Lord of Adders Black fan podcast, where Michael and Ian explore the universe of cult sitcom Blackadder while diving off at the occasional gleeful tangent.

In this, our second-last regular episode, we are joined by an old friend of the podcast, GoonPod’s Tyler Adams, to talk about Blackadder: Back & Forth, which was described by its main star as the most expensive and least satisfying half-hour in the canon. Our deep dive into this expensive folly travels back to the turn of the millennium and, true to form, gets lost a couple of times on the way.

We also talk about our next podcast project, which we hope will appeal to most of our current listeners, and reveal the long-awaited results of our Scene recent Stealers poll, which yielded a few surprises among the evergreen fan favourites.

If you would like to send us a voice message to include in our last ever show, we have set up a special page on SpeakPipe: https://www.speakpipe.com/Lord_Of_Adders_Black. All you have to do is click on the link, record your message and press send.
