Begone, Satan!

Lord of Adders Black: A Blackadder Podcast

Episode 13: Begone, Satan!

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 odd gleeful tangent.

The Scene Stealer for our thirteenth episode is the force of nature that is Miriam Margoyles as Lady Whiteadder, just one of the memorable roles she brought to life throughout the Blackadder saga. We talk about her slap-happy rehearsal methods, her portrayal of Edmund’s fiercely puritanical aunt and the disastrously low tolerance for alcohol that seems to run in the family genes.

As our scheduled ‘newbie’ was forced to cancel, we have been joined by two ‘oldies’ instead – that is … two old friends of the show, Paul and Pank. During the first of a two-part interview, they discuss the six episodes on our Newbie List with us, cherry-picking their favourite moments and revealing how Blackadder has been a constant presence in their lives.

And we introduce the Lord Of Adders Black range of t-shirts sold by our friend Mike at Silly Tees, with £5 from each purchase going to Cancer Research UK.
