Lord of Adders Black: A Blackadder Podcast
Episode 10: Ten Shun!
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.
As the title suggests, our tenth episode has a military theme as our friend Kevin Brown – formerly a lowly Lance Corporal in the British army before moving to Canada to scale the dizzying heights of podcast fame – drops in on our squalid bit of line to talk about Blackadder Goes Forth and how accurately it portrays military life.
This time around, our Scene Stealer is Warren Clarke, who gave a memorable performance as Amy’s pig-loving father Mr Hardwood in the penultimate episode of Blackadder The Third. We take a look at his long and varied career as a character actor, how he ended up hamming it up on the Blackadder set (pun intended) and how Les Dawson was an unlikely source of inspiration.
