Blackadder the Third, one of my favourite British comedies and certainly in my top five, if not less than five! Funny, historically accurate (well mostly) and I still use some of the phrases from it including “Mrs Miggins Pie Shop” and “As dead as that squirrel” as said by Miranda Richardson. “What squirrel?” asks Blackadder, then she shoots twice into the tree and you hear a loud squeak as a squirrel falls to the ground and she replies “That squirrel”. Fantastic writing, directing and comedy acting.
