Izzy MckentyGUEST
So it's just to give you an idea of the sort of characters they're dealing with.
Laura ShepherdHOST
So you describe the show as Blackadder meets Carry On.
Laura ShepherdHOST
What does that actually look like on stage? You're
James CoutsavlisGUEST
going to see some rust.
James CoutsavlisGUEST
Smutty innuendo, but at a pace where I think we do delight in the vernacular with which we're spitting out throughout the play.
Izzy MckentyGUEST
It's very classic British comedy of that sort of period of time, I feel.
Izzy MckentyGUEST
And, you know, the Blackadder... what's the character that you've sort of taken inspiration from? Oh,
James CoutsavlisGUEST
Baldrick.
Mark DoranHOST
Another bloke involved here, Shannon, is Blake.
Mark DoranHOST
Loving the chemistry you're having with Shannon Lush reminds me of the TV show Blackadder.
Mark DoranHOST
Hint, I don't think Shannon would be playing Baldrick, and neither do I, Blake.
Mark DoranHOST
Thank you for that.
Tom ToreroHOST
Hugh Laurie, he's a good example of a guy that used to be very geeky.
Tom ToreroHOST
If you think of Hugh Laurie in a bit of Fry and Laurie, he's a British comedian, or he was a British comedian, or he was in Blackadder.
Tom ToreroHOST
Very kind of academic and geeky.
Tom ToreroHOST
Moved to LA to do Dr.
Clint BoonGUEST
Yeah.
David HepworthHOST
And a Baldrick's after Blackadder, isn't it? And that refers to, I think, uh, a Bez, isn't it? It's, uh ...
Clint BoonGUEST
Yeah, I don't know w- who came up with that phrase.
Clint BoonGUEST
It wasn't me, but I remember it being a thing where there's a few people on the Manchester music scene had unusual haircuts.
Peter MarshallGUEST
I mean, he's always a great sort of comedy presence, no matter what the version of the comedy is, whether it's just stupid or it is that sort of pompous side of things.
Peter MarshallGUEST
You know, he's more on the side of sort of Blackadder than Mr Bean in this, but...
Peter MarshallGUEST
He's almost very close to Basil Fawlty as well.
Peter MarshallGUEST
I did read somewhere that he drew inspiration from Fawlty Towers in terms of his performance.
VanessaHOST
Yeah.
VanessaHOST
I
Peter MarshallGUEST
think in Blackadder in the 80s, he was sort of done up to look a lot older and stuff.
Peter MarshallGUEST
But here he's very sort of plain and just looks so fresh-faced as well.
JohnHOST
And I just realized, oh, my God, this guy's a freaking talent.
JohnHOST
And then, of course, that begets my need to watch Blackadder.
JohnHOST
Oh, yeah.
JohnHOST
Because, oh, my God.
Mike Fenton StevensHOST
And he's done some extraordinary things.
Mike Fenton StevensHOST
I mean, even if he'd just only played Percy in Blackadder, you could walk around the streets going, yep, that's right, I did Percy in Blackadder.
Mike Fenton StevensHOST
Thank you very much.
Mike Fenton StevensHOST
That's my life fulfilled.
Nigel PlanerGUEST
...
Nigel PlanerGUEST
Blackadder and, you know-
Mark WoganHOST
Incredible
Nigel PlanerGUEST
... recent stuff like The Upstart Crow, which is, I mean, so clever.
Dan CaseyHOST
Edward, thankfully first division football is done and congratulations to the team and management.
Dan CaseyHOST
But could anyone answer this for me? Have anyone seen that show Blackadder, lads? Dickie was on about it before.
Dan CaseyHOST
It
Declan CareyHOST
was before my time.
Mark GrensideGUEST
which was all about William Tell.
Mark GrensideGUEST
Wasn't a huge hit in the UK because it launched on ITV the same day as Blackadder launched on BBC.
Mark GrensideGUEST
Right.
Mark GrensideGUEST
So, you know, that wasn't the best.
