Bonus Episode 5: “Cartoon Crossover”

Hidely-hodely, neighborinos! Welcome to our Cartoon Crossover episode in which we join forces with GoonPod’s very own Tyler Adams to talk about a shared lifelong love of ours –The Simpsons.

In this extra-long bonus episode, Michael, Ian and Tyler have each come armed with five hand-picked classics from the purple-patch years and will be counting them down one by one to reveal their all-time favourite. With, needless to say, bants, clips, music and trivia aplenty!

Lord of Adders Black: A Blackadder Podcast

Episode 25: “Look Behind You, Mr Caesar!”

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 episode’s Major Star segment, we will be looking at Hugh Laurie’s thick-as-a-whale-omelette Prince George in Blackadder The Third. And who better to discuss this with us than our old friend Simon Osborne who makes a welcome return to the fold to reminisce about working with Hugh and also recalls his favourite moments from the screen and rehearsal room.

We also take a nerdilicious look at how the first three series of Blackadder each brought things to a close and how these matched up against the glorious finale that was Blackadder Goes Forth.And while we’re at it, we touch upon the strange phenomenon* of Blackadder actors strutting their stuff in music videos by British female pop artists.

(*Kate Bush pun intended) Oh … and we've started a new poll asking Blackadder fans to rate the four series of Blackadder in order of fluffiness.

Lord of Adders Black: A Blackadder Podcast

Episode 24: “Chiswick! Fresh Horses!”

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’s Major Star is actor, explorer and all-round force of nature Brian Blessed. As well as reflecting on his endearingly boisterous performance as King Richard IV in The Black Adder, we look at Brian’s early acting roles on stage and screen and marvel at his remarkable zest for life. And, on a more sinister note, we reveal how he inadvertently ended up influencing Coronation Street for well over half a century.

We also blow the dust off the Comic Relief special “Blackadder: The Cavalier Years” and discuss whether it deserves the rather, ahem, cavalier attitude that many of the Blackadder faithful have towards it.

Oh … and we've started a new poll asking Blackadder fans to rate the four series of Blackadder in order of fluffiness.
