Blackadder Goes Forth was THE best comedy ever made. I must have watched every episode a hundred times, yet it never fails to make me laugh and Fry's performance is beyond genius.

[@EmpireFanatic]

not was, is :)

[@NoName-cu4gr]

laugh and cry - at the banality of it all.

[@ianmeredith130]

The best comedy series ever made, with the most poignant moment of any British TV series! ❤️👍

[@carusmike]

But now we have even greater comedy. The BBC.

[@MrCSutton]

The best ever. Except for Father Ted.

[@Milamberinx]

A moment I hope we'll all be remembering during the news reports of the current conflicts.

[@alexanderjames6328]

@@carusmike Not true. The BBC is woke now... so the comedy is transparent.

[@alexanderjames6328]

I agree, Ian! The best - by far.

[@JupiterThunder]

Tim McInnerny was outstanding in all the Blackadder series he was in.

[@davidhanahoe8752]

???? He was in every series of Blackadder!!

[@ChequeTwice]

Underrated.

[@graeme9679]

He was good at playing a right bastard in some dramas too.

I have never seen this extended take of the outtakes before. Stephen Fry was certainly getting some help trying to get his lines right. I always laugh at how he is laughing and when Hugh Laurie puts him off 😆.

[@mtjoy747]

When I think of House, I don't think of Hugh Laurie at all, but there it is.

[@alexanderjames6328]

@@mtjoy747 Mr Laurie makes House impressive.

[@GuitarJammerJohn]

It’s because there aren’t that many Rowan was always very serious when doing his parts you can see in this he actually looks annoyed near the end when Stephen is messing up.

[@Zorg2006]

Blows my mind that Stephen Fry was only 27 here. Fantastic performance.

[@dan4461]

32?

[@Buckblacket]

He was, without doubt, the star of this series!

[@Golfmann111]

Yes he was 32

[@garrybaldy327]

More likely 31, since his birthday's in August and the first episode aired in September.

[@DrRemulack]

@@garrybaldy327 Later 20s or early 30s was a reasonably common age for a colonel at the time for the British Army/BEF. So, spot on for casting.

[@andrewstevenson3807]

The greatest comedy in all of history. Pure genius every single second.

[@zapkvr]

The writing was utterly sublime.

[@chrishead5110]

I just watched the last one again today having just seen All Quiet On The Western Front. How two so different approaches to the same awful moment can be both so horrifically moving and yet make you feel so desperately sad is something to leave you in awe. The writing in Blackadder Goes Forth and its production are still immeasurably incredible.

[@chrishead5110]

I got my words wrong. It's sublime

[@thefatlosscode365]

Still, the best British comedy ever made. The cast is superb and Fry is incredible. This 4th series was amazing. I've watched every episode 20 times and it's still hilarious :)

[@shirleykibbie5149]

And final ending.....

[@JackpotButtonLewis]

'They're all pulling faces at me and everything! Can't concentrate!' So relatable that Mr Stephen Fry! LOL! 😃😂🤣🤣🤣

[@Lawesp]

Love this. How great to see Rowan, Hugh and Stephen so uncut 😃

[@rajeeb3500]

One of my favourite episodes. Gen. Melchet (sp) was an absolutely brilliant character

[@paulrichards6894]

stephen fry stole the scene in most episodes

[@lesigh1749]

He apparently threw in the strange Baaaah when he laughed as a nod to Lord Melchet from Blackadder the 2nd having an implied relationship with a sheep. General Melchet is the descendent of that union.

[@anonnymouse2402]

Baldric's "deny everything" testimony must have been flawless, as he did not appear in the outtakes.

[@evrbody]

NO!

[@topmandog1]

Of course everything he did was spiffing

[@mickd6942]

Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom

[@gdutfulkbhh7537]

The Golden Age of the BBC, that was.

[@MrDaiseymay]

AND WILL NEVER BE AGAIN

[@DeOmnibusDubitandum76]

I'd say this is gold, but given the sheer scarcity of such outtakes, it is nothing short of platinum at the very least! Or the purest "greeen"!!

[@MrLewis555]

Seeing General Melchett but hearing Stephen Fry is very surreal!

[@zeb3144]

I dont care much for the previous series of Blackadder but 'Goes fourth' is perfection. Seeing these outtakes only fuels my love for it.

[@Nttmf]

Fantastic to see this, I’m a big fan of all the blackadder series. The audience, I’m so jealous of you but it must of been an amazing experience.

[@AlfPane]

For me this series was the best

[@jelleludolf]

Fry and Atkinson, absolute living legends, what a time to be alive

[@stephennewton2777]

Makes you wonder how long it actually took to record an episode 😆

[@wrightyy]

With a studio audience they would have to get most of it done in under 3-4 hours, surely?

[@danielcox3152]

2 hours according to the new Blu-Ray commentaries

[@slapmyfunkybass]

They can get it done pretty quick, bloopers are pretty rare, on the whole scenes are recorded pretty quick, I’d say an episode is around half a day, but then you’d have editing, reshoots if necessary etc

[@stevebrown1974]

I knew someone who worked at the BBC TV Centre (where this was filmed) as an audience usher. He said shows would start to record about 7-7.30 and it had to be over by 10pm otherwise all staff (not the actors I'm guessing) would have to be paid overtime!

[@martm216]

Yes, I believe a lot of it goes on!

[@Jennythecatgirl]

Oh to be a fly on that wall! I think I would fall off from laughing so much! ❤❤❤❤

[@ivorproblem1332]

[@markmiller6402]

[@scottfreckle237]

[@Liverpool-s5n]

[@SuperEdge67]

My favourite comedy of all time. Part ll and Part lV were the best.

[@hefeydd_]

The greatest character ever created for comedy has to be Captain Kevin Darling. Morning Darling… 🤣🤣🤣

[@JupiterThunder]

'What is the matter with you Darling?'😄

[@kamion53]

I heard the name Darling for the character came a bit by accident and stuck.

[@choc113]

I like the bit in the last episode that humanises Darling. Talking about going home, marrying Doris, playing cricket. It really showed he was just another poor bastard caught up in this insane shitstorm :(

[@crispybits3765]

Melchett - "Honestly Darling, you really are the most graceless, dimwitted bumpkin I ever met" Darling - "Oh I wouldn't say that to her Sir" Melchett - "ohhh!!!!." 🤣 The greatest scene of television ever filmed.

[@golic7123]

As much as I admire the whole series & all the actors - Too much 'Insight' and their 'Bloopers' detracts and dilutes massively from the amazing 'Product' of brilliance we finally got 'Polished', from back then Well Done all involved !

I'm 40 years old now and I can't believe I'm 8-9 years older than Stephen Fry was in this

[@organfairy]

He said in a documentary about the Blackadder series that the hardest part was to play a general well over 50 when he himself was only in his early 30's. He used a lot of 'old man noises' like coughing, mumbling, and groaning to appear much older.
