Episode Description
Lord of Adders Black: A Blackadder Podcast
Bonus Episode 09: “Uncut Jem”
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.
This bonus episode contains the full interview with Jem Roberts, friend of the show and author of The True History Of The Black Adder, two parts of which were released back in the mists of September and October 2024.
Here, Jem recounts some of the many rosy-cheeked caperings that occurred while researching his labour of love, such as Richard Curtis bestowing the unpublished Blackadder In Bethlehem script upon him, Stephen Fry bestowing unused sketches upon him – and, thankfully, Rowan Atkinson’s lawyers failing to bestow anything unpleasant upon him.
