All his work is brilliant. He came across really well in this interview. What a decent bloke he is. I am impressed. Parkinson was the greatest interviewer of all time. He had such respect for his guests. Much missed.

[@alinavisram4631]

What an eloquent actor smart, witty, and inspirational. He's brilliant

[@roseyk7677]

I met Him once when I was working in hospitality, he was one of the nicest people I ever met. I was never, and am still not, a fan of his comedy, but that's just preference, however, I knew after speaking with him that it was his alter ego and his job to be slapstick and comedic so it's all good! His true personality was shy and reserved, he didn't feel comfortable with people noticing him and made efforts for the team to be discreet and not make a fuss. I chatted to him about all kinds, and he was so polite, very genuine, and was grateful that we accommodated him. Honestly, he was a joy to get to know.

Why would he be looking for laughs? He is just a comedian some of the time and a normal human being the rest of the time.

He says "Boff" in that Blackadder way and the audience immediately cracks up 🤣 Such a great comedian/actor who has helped create some of the funniest comedy to date. I saw him live once in "The Sneeze". A legend as important to comedy as Charlie Chaplin. No doubt!

[@brianthesnail3815]

Its because he is from the North East of England. My wife is from Newcastle and there is a character in Blackadder who is a young woman who pretends to be a man called 'Bob'. Blackadder falls in love with her of course and keeps saying 'so.... Bob". My wife can say it exactly the way he says "Boff" or "Bob" and it cracks me up every time she does because it is just funny and only so because of the bit of North East accent hiding there.

I was part of the unknown audience watching the final act of series four. The Video Tape department engineers in the TV Centre basement basically stopped work on all other programmes and watched the studio feed of the rehearsals and then the final take. We knew it was history in the making. It was watcged with deep respect and awe, the slow motion and freeze at the end was a stroke of artistry that topped it off perfectly.

Far too intelligent to be a politician. I remember at high school that some of us made judgements (sorry) about other pupils, the really very thick ones (sorry), and we decided that they'd either be actors or politicians (sorry). We made the same judgements about the totally awful, scheming, untrustworthy, lying parasites that we met. We predicted that they'd all become Labour MPs. A large number of them did, funnily enough.

I'm not so sure. As a British man of a certain age, I think we're all too aware of how ridiculous our society has become - seeing it in a comedy show wouldn't be as laughable as things are in real life.

[@meloniedropik3539]

If you mean that you've never seen the Blackadder series (there are four set in different historical periods), you MUST see them. I would recommend that you begin with series 2 or 3 rather than at the beginning. The first series is fun, but it really is hard to see the action. (I suppose they were trying to convey the darkness of the period, but it is hard to see the action sometimes. Also, the sound isn't that great either.) I would watch series 4 last. Just my 2 cents There were three specials, too. You MUST see it all. (If you have seen them, you will know exactly why I am so insistent. It is absolutely brilliant.)

What a great interview with a true British comedy great. People know Bean but Blackadder is his best work. The crowd are silent and hanging on every word and not clapping or cheering when they remember the name of a show that he was in (US shows)! The fact that he kept that that Bremner guy almost silent says it all.
