<p><strong>Lord of Adders Black: A Blackadder Podcast</strong></p><p><strong>Episode 22: Sacred Cows and Silly Bulls</strong></p><p>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 occasional gleeful tangent.</p><br><p>Michael’s two favourite 80s sitcoms – one from the past, one from the future – come together to give us this episode’s Scene Stealer: Red Dwarf’s very own Chris Barrie. We talk about the leading roles at the centre of Chris’s curiously un-chequered career and his memorable appearance in Nob & Nobility as an evil French revolutionary who is “hung like a baby carrot and a couple of petits pois”.</p><p>Our special guest this time around is Tyler Adams, the brains behind the wonderful GoonPod podcast about the Goon Show and classic comedy in general. We talk about podcast envy and sacred cows among Blackadder fandom. Tyler also shares his theory on why Blackadder Goes Forth is the Sgt Pepper of the Blackadder oeuvre – and why that might not be the high praise it might seem to be.</p><p>GoonPod can be found at the following link or wherever you get your podcast fix: https://pod.link/1569929507</p><br><p>Here is a link to the Lord Of Adders Black range of t-shirts sold on eBay by our friend Mike at Silly Tees, with £5 from each purchase going to Cancer Research UK – short link here: </p><p>https://shorturl.at/6H6Q8</p><br><p>More information about Jem Roberts and his creative exploits can be found at:</p><p>jemroberts.com and talesofbritain.com</p><p>The audiobook of The True History Of The Black Adder – read by the author himself – is available on Audible:</p><p><a href="https://www.audible.co.uk/pd/The-True-History-of-the-Blackadder-Audiobook/B0C82XDHPY?action_code=ASSGB149080119000H&share_location=pdp" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.audible.co.uk/pd/The-True-History-of-the-Blackadder-Audiobook/B0C82XDHPY?action_code=ASSGB149080119000H&share_location=pdp</a></p><br><p>As always, you can find the Ronald Lacey Fans Twitter account at @RonaldLaceyFans</p><br><p>Thanks to the following communities for their valuable support:</p><p>Reddit Blackadder community: www.reddit.com/r/blackadder/</p><p>Blackadder – quotes, clips and pictures: https://www.facebook.com/share/NVQ6pTtJt8Hzve9X/?mibextid=K35XfP</p><p>The Ultimate Blackadder Group:</p><p>https://www.facebook.com/share/aLnsHrXM4FiyejuK/?mibextid=K35XfP </p><br><p>Follow us on</p><p>Bluesky: @lordofaddersblack.bsky.social</p><p>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61559091752318" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61559091752318</a></p><p>Instagram: lord_of_adders_black</p><p>e-mail: <a href="mailto:[email protected]" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">[email protected]</a></p><br><p><strong>Podcast credits:</strong></p><p>Compiled and presented by Ian Winick and Michael J.
