Blackadder the Third

I worked solidly as an actor for decades, but to some audiences, I'll always be known for one role in particular, but before that film role came along, I starred as a criminal psychologist in a TV show called Cracker.

I've also appeared on The Young Ones and Blackadder the Third, and I played the Russian gangster Valentin Zukovsky in the James Bond films GoldenEye and The World Is Not Enough.

Any thoughts on who that might be? More clues after question 14.

For now, though, question eight, which African country starts with M and features an AK-47 on their flag? [timer beeping] That's Mozambique.

And it became a substantial European record, top 10 in Britain, Ireland, and Belgium, and number one in the Netherlands.

Prefab Sprout are on the way next, but first, a track whose music video featured John Malkovich and oddly enough, Hugh Laurie practically redoing his role as Prince Regent from the Blackadder the Third series.

It's worth a look if you've forgotten it.

It's Annie Lennox at 38.

I actually thought of this when I was watching it.

They completely lifted his character that he plays in this into Blackadder 3 and 4.

You know, that very privileged, clueless, bumbling idiot.

Yeah, which, based on what Hugh Laurie's been posting lately, is quite close to his actual personality.

Um, an extremely durable British character actor.

Um, selected post-Young Ones work, Happy Families, Shine on Harvey Moon, Blackadder the Third, French & Saunders, Jonathan Creek.

The Grimleys episodes in the Inside No. 9 and Death in Paradise.

Um, and so what happens here, which I find interesting, is so he's per- he's permanently kind of Neil in the British public consciousness.
