Blackadder Rides Again, 2008
Sadly it’s not a headline for a new series but the title of a one off documentary made to celebrate the show’s 25th anniversary.
The show was broadcast as part of the BBC
Summary
This A 60-minute documentary featured interviews with all of the major cast members and other contributors, including: Rowan Atkinson, Stephen Fry, Hugh Laurie, Richard Curtis, Ben Elton, Miranda Richardson, Tim McInnerny and Tony Robinson.
In a twist from the usual format of these shows i.e. relying on ‘talking head’ interviews and clips from the show, this documentary included several pieces of rare, and even unseen material (behind the scenes clips, cut scenes from Series 1 etc.).
The show also reunited certain cast and crew members with their costumes, visited cast members on their current ventures, or took them to the original filming locations.
