Episode 30: “An Absolutely Scrummy Dream About Ponies”

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 episode opens with a Points Of View-type segment where we channel our inner Anne Robinson (albeit less grumpy) and present a selection of messages and voice recordings from listeners around the world waxing lyrical on Harry Enfield, Baldrick and some of our recent guests.

Continuing our Major Star series, we also look at Miranda Richardson’s extraordinary performance as the young Queen Bess, memorably described by Richard Curtis as “a strange mixture of woman, child, nymphomaniac and tyrant”. As well as casting an eye over Miranda’s career – and reflecting on why so much of it seems to have passed us by – we revisit our favourite quintessential Queenie moments in Blackadder II.
