Apparently the forthcoming series of blackout it will be set at a university with Blackadder being across the old lecturer there's lots of fun to be poked at university departments says Darren pettiness in them good lord but the writing is important also a bit per verse in the I love the original Blackadder verb Blackadder The 1st series more than the 2nd series and I probably like the 3rd series most of all he says I'm very fond of that 1st series is one that gets overlooked a little bit I think it's ground it's very bleak and gritty but I love it all as ever you know I give it a chance if it does come back but the Blackadder rumors seem to go around every couple of years and you know they've never come to much really. Anyway we will talk about all of this with Georgie a little bit later I did have another want to check into the mix as well tonight which is basically for food that you came late to inspired by Roxie Cooper the fine writer find Teesside writer there is Roxie Cooper was ruminating on the Twitter earlier on about Pastor and said she'd never eaten pastor until she went to university passed there was a posh middle class thing pastor the pastor.

Exactly when i get i shall we remake the Avengers you may put it on the pile Yeah we'll do that to stay on the bottom of the list with all the rest of the other projects. That we get that would be a good outlets to do that would do that definitely happen I don't know why the put the him last year on and off or not but I will like the rest of the one. Where we've talked about them for 10 seconds and that is only ever existed it will definitely happen it was definitely. We've come up with. The last right let's talk about a few bits and pieces here Georgie because we've got we've got some some exciting stuff to get through tonight we think I know he's in it just right blackout or we're talking about blackout because this is just popped up to day I think us in there. Last night was a lot I asked night right I saw this and reports that Blackadder 5 is going to be my consent Tony Robinson Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie of all met together had a great time they they met together in a in A So how club so house rhymes club in London had a great time chatting away having a law for old friends and they went Come on let's do it so it's being written now and Rowan Atkinson says he's extremely excited it's going to be set in the modern day and Blackadder will be a university lecturer Rob and I assume Richard Curtis and Ben Elton are involved in this as well MAN Oh yeah Richard Richard Curtis is spoken about this and he says the thing about Blackadder is it was a young man show criticizing old people saying how stupid those in authority but now he thought it would be funny if Blackadder was a teacher in a university and obviously much older and saying how much he hates young paid. It's going to be rolled out kids going on about snowflakes possibly You just never know he's an aging university lecturer and Richard Case and Ron Atkinson have discussed guest appearances like Russell Brand and Tom Hardy said I think that this is been in the works for me if they're talking about the actual script and saying it's being written and who they'd quite like to have their best mounted on in the works for a little while that's made all of this public this sounds like a 10 minute conversation down the top never does it not so not so it's a no particular characters have officially confirmed you know as as returning but yeah apparently Fishel news will be announced in G Q OK OK There's a bit of me that's really excited about it and there's a bit of me The Also thanks to you know I might be best just to leave it where it was well this is a you just never know I know for series I think we're great yes absolutely around way because it was set in so many different periods of history and all the series all the series were different I think that they were all great because they could all stand alone yes and there was so many other periods of history where you thought oh that would have been good for Blackadder Blackadder you know different times would have been would have been great if they bring it up to date now which is what they obviously intending to do with series far if and it's a success and they want to commission another series all you can do you take into the future. Is now I do remember after a blackout a Goes Forth was broadcast for a few years though rumblings of a series called The blackout a 5 that was going to be set in the 1960 S. Here you know he had a bomb the other big. A group called the Black out of 5. That rumbled around for a few years I think and I like I don't like I agree with you with the historical setting I think it would be interesting to see who's going to be in a university to set it in like in 1970 S. Or going to see university it would have been it would give you somewhere else to go that you could have it I mean you could have had to in the sixty's with the birth of the Open University they're not hidden here that would have been fun and this and of black had to totally missing out on swinging London in passing you know and. In the summer of love and everything and him just not getting what everyone else was getting in the sixty's I mean that you could have had all. The things to do it now. I'm not entirely sure it's really and I never like to. Say I mean why if that if it's that cost all back together again and it's yeah it's Richard Curtis and doesn't mention does not seem big smile mentioned I hope using Oh this is Richard Petty. I might be them writing it together again which they did write the 1st series to. Curtis in an incentive and then they brought in yeah so it could be back to its reach and we'll say we'll say and I just seem to be one of those things rather like Carry On films which has come around again this week has been. All well we're going to make you see I mean. Are you coming on. They never materialized but let's see what happens this time around right we'll come back and we're going to talk about the 50th anniversary of Monty Python's Flying Circus a whole host of exciting stuff has been announced this week so we'll do it on the other side of Rob appropriately this.
