Lord of Adders Black: A Blackadder Podcast

Bonus Episode 07: “Flight Of The Conchords”

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.

Hot on the heels of our recent Father Ted deep dive, it’s now Michael’s turn to introduce Ian to a series he’d never seen before: Flight Of The Conchords. In this special bonus episode, we look at New Zealand’s “fourth most popular comedy-folk duo” and their award-winning HBO show, which centres on Bret and Jemaine’s spectacular failure to take New York by storm.

We are also joined by our friend Chrissy, who talks about what the Flight Of The Conchords means to her and her fellow Kiwis and about the affectionate sibling rivalry that exists between Australia and New Zealand.
