Some people believe Shakespeare didn't was not a writer, but a actor and that he worked for the make who made those masterpieces, but no one can know.
@AlekSensej See how some times things can be complicated about a historical feature such as he,you say now that he was mostly an actor but we cant close up to the fact that he actualy migh have write some of those plays.
I may be taking a stab here and stepping outside my area of expertise but I believe what makes these so good is that most of the actors are stage actors. thus they need presence to be good and have learnt it via actual acting not just from sitcoms and movies. For one to act on stage I think it requires far more skill than prerecorded movie,
@SecondBananaAddams I love both british and american humour,the fact that today's comedy is crappy its because the producers and directors run out of good ideas.And this is hapening because some older producers still holds their places in those sections and not leting anyone else newer shown their ideas.And this is not hapening only on movies.Don't go far look what hapen to the newest comic scenarios.Another thing is that they try to fit more in to the newer public that has not the great taste.
Respond to this video... A simple example of a good 80s sitcom series that i loved to wach and i would do it again. 80s love and mariage compare to friends,tell me now wich one is better? For me by far the true american hero all bundy ofcourse,i don't say that friends was bad but they cannot reach the bundy's no matter how many seasons make or how good they will try to tell the joke.And we talk now about an american series right? The english have a way to make comedy look more bright.
@CaptainHollister The show hasn't been on tv in my country for a while, so I can't claim to have watched more than what I can get my hands on here at youtube.
As for the Bob reference, you have completely lost me. How is Kate short for Bob? I feel like an imbecile right now:/
"Bhut with respect, we are woopsies, we invented the tapersty, the sueflae and the chocolate liquoer. We will be slaughtered the moment we mince up the hill" XD
@IloveOtherPplsMsry Yet surprisingly they don't make a single reference to Doctor Who, even though it should have been one of the first jokes they thought of, but oh well.
@GameMusicCompiIation It's a rehash, a final summation. There definitely won't be any more blackadders worth watching, and thank god for it, this series has been completely exhausted.
Let us remember it for what it was, and not what two bit directors with no imagination envision it to be in the future.
@GameMusicCompiIation You know what the main problem is? it's like Blackadder I. When they are let loose on sets a locations they lose all direction and focus. If they were on one or two sets in the studio (like blackadder II, III and forth), they focus more on the characters and the dialog and thus have made a better special.
"Am I Robin Hood? Is Will Scarlet a poof in tights? Is Friar Tuck a big tub of lard? Is Maid Maryan a hot girl?" Frankly, seeing Will Scarlet made me laugh out loud.
@Mullahgrrl Hmmm... You're most probably right. But in this day and age, you could write a script with 4 white neo- Nazis talking in a room, and when the BBC get a hold of it, they'd still manage to stick a black lesbian in a wheelchair in there somehow.
No, you're not racist but Queen Elizabeth actually was. She disapproved of the fashion for having black or Moorish servants and wrote a document protesting against it.
No need to go to work today, Robin Hood and his band of merry men will be round with an enormous pile of cash. Sounds like the Welfare state under Labour.
@anonUK Agreed on what you say about its New Labour/ Tory stuff. You're right, I'm not racist- my Mum is from Malta and in the seventies she'd got called " big darkie", my younger brother got called " paki" . So I went left- wing/ punk rock. But all this BBC liberal fascism really bugged me.
@Noodles37UK Liberal fascism? I was under the impression that the far side of conservatism was fascism, and that the far side of liberalism was socialism. Neither are great, obviously, but liberals are pretty much not fascist. Anyhow, Black Adder is an asshole. He's supposed to be that way. He's also supposed to be the smartest person in the room at all times.
@TheZacula We call it Liberal Fascism in my country. You do what they say by people previously deemed liberal and good in a world of unfairness and bigotry.
