For historical accuracy... Elizabeth 1 died in 1603. Most of her reign was in the 2nd half of the 1500s, (16th century), not 1600s. So Blackadder, with young Queenie, would be set in 1560s 😊

The biggest difference with Monty Python and most other comedic endeavours is that they wrote and performed all their own stuff, whereas things like Blackadder are actors performing scripts written by talented writers; different vibe altogether.

Let's remember where the fabled Monty Python got their inspiration and style from.... Peter Cook, Dudley Moore, Alan Bennet and Jonathan Miller's excellent 'Beyond the Fringe' shows. Cleese has been trying to be Peter Cook his entire career and hasn't ever come close to his genius.

Don’t let anyone tell you that series 1 isn’t worth watching. It’s great in its own way. I think it’s the fact that Blackadder is played in a very different, non-wisecracking way to what came after. Equally as good, but different. Series 1 puts the whole show and evolution into context.

It is so boring to note how many dull people discard Series 1. The main differences are a) Rowan Atkinson co-wrote the first series so a lot of the humour is more subtle, and b) it had a much larger budget with a lot of outside filming. Plus Baldrick is the most intelligent of the 3 main characters.

I remember watching House fro the first time and I could not compute how this was the same guy who played the Prince Regent in series 3 of blackadder Hugh Laurie's character prince ludwig reminds me of a character from World War 2 sitcom "Allo Allo" it was sent in occupied france and followed members of the french resistance and the germans. One Character was called Officer Crabtree . A British spy posing as a French police officer. Unfortunately, his French is weak and he is invariably unable to use the correct vowel sounds, which means that sometimes he is quite incomprehensible, most famously in his usual greeting "Good moaning!"
