The Blackadder - S1E1

from Those Were The Days

This week, Stephen takes us back to the darkly comic and twisted historical world of "The Black Adder." In the series opener, "The Foretelling," we're introduced to the scheming Prince Edmund, the man who would (much to his own surprise) become the Duke of Edinburgh. Through a series of unfortunate (and hilarious) events, Edmund finds himself rewriting history and battling a host of real and imagined foes in his quest for power. Join Stephen, along with Amy, TVsTravis, and Audie, on "Those Were The Days," as they dissect the genius of Richard Curtis and Rowan Atkinson's creation, exploring its sharp wit, satirical take on history, and the legacy of one of television's most beloved black comedies. From the infamous first line misheard as a call to arms, to the birth of the character we all love to despise, this episode unpacks the humor, absurdity, and brilliance of "The Foretelling."Next Week - Watch The Red Green Show - S9E7 - Streaming on Amazon Prime VideoSend us feedback about the show on Twitter at @thosedaysshow or email us [email protected] us on Twitter!StephenAmyAudieTvsTravisSupport 2Dorks on PatreonJoin us every Monday at 9pm ET on Twitch to watch live!Send us feedback to @thosedaysshow.bsky.social or [email protected] on BlueSkySend us a Voicemail!LIVE Mondays at 9pm ET Hosted on Acast.
