For balance, Tom Baker said that Rowan Atkinson was a complete bell-end to him when he appeared in an episode of Blackadder and Tom is as honest as they come!

2024-11-16 22:31:15 +0000 UTCThe running time on old BBC shows were quite variable, they had no commercials so they could vary in length. Rather than shows starting on the hour or half hour, it wasn't at all unusual to find your favourite show starting at 5:56 or 6:37. The schedule would have times like that with fixed points being the news bulletins.

2023-09-22 12:35:42 +0000 UTCI do remember the interview but can't find the clip - however I'm pretty sure Miriam was talking about Richard Harris (not Alan Rickman) being grumpy - who played Dumbledore in the first two HP movies whilst being quite unwell and indeed passing away thereafter.

2023-09-05 23:15:13 +0000 UTCYes that’s fair enough , always good to think of other view points . She is very entertaining we agree on that 😀

2023-09-05 17:04:25 +0000 UTCI think I tend to play devil's advocate when it comes to open displays of criticism of others, but I can't deny that John Cleese does come across as a bit egotistical at times, especially judging by comments from other Pythons on his past behaviour. Bill Oddie has also been known to be difficult, but that's mainly down to his bi polar disorder. As I said before I really like Miriam, but I think she has a short shrift with people she doesn't get along with, and is quite happy to openly be critical in a rather unkind manner. I guess that's just Miriam. But being a bit of a Blackadder cast groupie myself, I love the praise of them also.

2023-09-05 09:00:31 +0000 UTCLooking forward to KB's reaction to the Waldorf Salad episode, for obvious reasons. Also the one after that, Kipper and the Corpse is possibly my favourite episode.

2023-09-05 01:30:52 +0000 UTCNot sure it could be considered "fact", just her viewpoint. Miriam Margolyes is quite outspoken and unnecessarily rude about a lot of actors, especially when she mentioned that the "dead actor" (her words) in Harry Potter wasn't very nice. She didn't mention a name but it was almost definitely Alan Rickman, who was dealing with serious health issues at the time (so he probably wasn't in the greatest of moods). Considering no one has ever said a bad word about Rickman apart from Margolyes, I tend to get the impression that she is quite unfairly nasty against people she doesn't get along with. She also said quite nasty things about Winona Ryder, dismissively referring to her as "The shoplifter" because she didn't get along with her. Much as I like Margolyes, I do think she comes across as quite a difficult person to get along with. Perhaps she was extremely rude to Cleese, Tim Brooke Taylor and Bill Oddie, which is why they didn't want to work with her. I find it especially hard to believe, considering Tim Brooke Taylor has always been considered one of the nicest people in showbiz. Rant over ;)

2023-09-05 00:45:55 +0000 UTCWhat i love about this show is that from basils poit of view verything he is doing is clearly valid and normal its everyone else that is mad. But to everyone else he comes across as a lunatic. I love over top misunderstandings in comedy.. i think you would really enjoy 'one foot in the grave' the humour is so similar to this show :)

2023-09-04 20:11:17 +0000 UTCI agree with you. Other than the Germans episode, this is probably my favourite. Still some classics on the way though

2023-09-04 20:01:19 +0000 UTCRant continued … the Queen of Spain’s beard in the first Blackadder series is a triumph of an episode . In my view that series was underrated . Worth a watch 🤓
Erica
2023-09-04 19:08:39 +0000 UTCInteresting fact . John Cleese , Brooke Taylor and Oddie were massive arseholes to Miriam Margolyes at footlights . Contrary to her experience with Rik Mayall, Rowan Atkinson and Stephen Fry. That put me off John Cleese a bit. I’m sure he would’ve been nicer if she looked like Connie Booth. Rant over 😆

2023-09-04 19:04:45 +0000 UTCThis is one of the classic episodes for sure!
