Baldrick

milk.

Sorry, I'm just picturing like Baldrick making the coffees in the trenches.

I think it's Bald Ryan.

That's great, yeah.

If you remember the blackhead of the third episode where where Edmund and George tried to seize power in a rotten borough.

if you will, by nominating Baldrick as their Manchurian proxy candidate.

They said, we need somebody who would follow our orders every time.

I'm paraphrasing this.

Then at the very end, the line goes, basically, somebody with no brain.

We need somebody with no brain.

Then he rings the bell for Baldrick to come, and he says, enter Baldrick.

Baldrick, our new member of parliament.

know.

Baldrick? Baldrick? I don't know.

Strangely, but predictably, Sarah, no, it's not Baldrick, but thank you.

Bye-bye.

It's not Baldrick.

Kate from Blackheath.

Hello, Kate.

Drinking the pasta water.

I've been the pastor.

I just drink the water, mate.

No appetite for your big bowl of sauce at the end.

Yay.

All right, so my own is that the first thing Baldrick does, that's the name of my enemy, is to recline his seat and sit on my lap.

I asked politely for him to sit up.

He said they would have made the seats recline if it wasn't comfortable.

I say they do because they don't care about comfort.

They care about maximum passenger numbers.

Baldrick doesn't care and reclines further and falls asleep snoring loudly while his wife watches films.

Okay.

So on the LiveWire IT open line, 492 says, what advice would you give to Walshy about biceps and triceps? Which is fair enough.

The follow-up text is, the Baldrick for the best media personality without a single follicle goes to Walshy for the fifth year in concussion.

Damn you, autocorrect.

We are back after this with Fence Sitter.

And, you know, the Blackadder... what's the character that you've sort of taken inspiration from? Oh,

Baldrick.

Yeah,

yeah, yeah.

In fact, Paul sold out, so that was his thing.

But when somebody came up with this term Baldrick, I don't even know where it came from, but we got a call from ID magazine saying, "We're gonna do a feature about the Baldricks," and they sent a photographer up and-

[laughs]

... and a journalist to, to chat to some of us.

Then, obviously, they moved it on and changed the design from season two and that onwards.

Identically a Baldrick, by the way.

Yes.

One thing I would say in, was it the last, where we're recording now, the noir episode of Strange New Worlds, that was just, I'm going to say, two weeks ago, Cor was in that.
