Lord Flasheart (Mad Gerald Series 1) - RIP Rik Mayall, comedy genius & national treasure.

Vina

The pacing and energy on this episode and is like a whole different show from most of series 1. And Lord Flasheart looked great in that dress!

Jonathan

You've got to respect Flashheart's ability to proposition the Queen, Nursey, Baldrick and Bob within two minutes before throwing on a dress and leaving.

Hell3Quin

No mention of a change in running order this time (Percy has the beard in episode 2)

Robert Gendron

I normally skip Series 1 when I watch Blackadder because it is so different in style and tone from the rest of it. I'm still not a fan of the sniveling Edmund in it, but enjoyed it more this time than I remembered. Series 2-4 is nothing but gold and I hope we get "A Blackadder Christmas Carol" and "Blackadder Back & Forth" watchalongs for Christmas and New Years, respectively.

Nolan

Random fact about another show: the way Blackadder said "Bob" in this episode is why the main character of ReBoot, the first full 30 minute CGI show, has that name. The creators of ReBoot just liked it that much.

GillyBean

rik mayall was amazing. i wonder if The Young Ones is on the Pals radar for reactions

Nolan

And you thought Ace Rimmer was over the top...

Jade Ellis

That would certainly make more sense with the lyrics for episode 2.

Phil Birkett

Part of the reason he pronounces "Bob" in the way he does is because Rowan Atkinson has a slight stammer that causes him to struggle with Bs at the start of words, so he kinda leans into it, over-exaggerates it, which has the happy side-effect of being very funny!

Phil Birkett

Poor Baldrick - as the series continue Blackadder gets more suave and cunning while Baldrick gets ever more feral and bewildered :)

Skyrous

Consider the girls reaction to Lister's sloppiness I can't see them enjoying the Young Ones. It would be fun to watch.

Troy Convers

Now, I have a new found respect for Series 1 on rewatch; it's genuinely funny, a bit quirky and a perfect way to lay the foundations for the Blackadder series. And as such, lessons were learned and we get the classic formula - and as such Series 2 is. A. BANGER!!!!! As in all of it; no excess fat, not a second wasted. Perfect script, perfect casting, perfect characterisation. And what an episode, an all time classic that plays on cross dressing antics and establishing this Edmund's demeanour, which is VASTLY different to his antecedent's. And that last five minutes - Gals, meet Lord Flashheart, a man that could give a certain Ace Rimmer a run for his money. What a way to end episode 1. Only five more bangers to go to series 3!

Skyrous

Rik Mayall always looks great in a dress!

Sebastian Bodine

I always loved the idea of a crossover with Lord Flashheart and Ace Rimmer, but there would be some comedic gold with Dave Lister meeting Baldrick as two characters repeatedly referred to "almost human".

Dean Madden

The amount of comedy Rowan Atkinson manages to imbue into the word 'Bob' is worth the price of admission on its own

clara trevlyn

The name 'Bernard' appears in nearly everything Richard Curtis wrote, including other Blackadder serials, the movie 'Four Weddings and a Funeral' and other romcoms. The back story is that, when he was at Cambridge University, he and his friend Bernard Jenkin were in love with the same girl, Ann Strutt. She ended up marrying Jenkin, who would go on to become a rather pompous Tory MP. Curtis then spent much of his writing career getting his own back by naming various underwhelming characters 'Bernard.'

Lizbeth Marcs

The lower in class Blackadder gets, the smarter he becomes.

clara trevlyn

Let's not forget 'Blackadder: The Cavalier Years' - a absolute gem produced for Comic Relief

Lizbeth Marcs

I think all the regular series are bangers from here on out. I'm a bit more mixed on the specials "Blackadder Back and Forth" and "Blackadder's Christmas Carol".

Hell3Quin

I think he genuinely has a speech impediment and wrote it in bc they like how he says certain words

Richard Ludlam

Great to see you laugh so much for this. Red Dwarf and this was what I grew up with and its wonderful to rewatch it with you. Rik Mayall's Lord Flashhart always reminds me of Chris Barrie Ace Rimmer
