Give me something, please, to read that doesn't go on about window seats I've never heard of and.. and doesn't have some dead BITCH calling you READER all the time!! - genius, love Fry's angry logic.
Fry was Melchett in two series, thats a major part. The Duke of Wellington was the only minor part he played. Laurie had a minor part in series two as the "villian" of episode 6 but was Prince George and Lieutnent George in the following series which was also a major role probably third most important after Baldrick although most of the plot lines revolved around his character more then Baldricks so could go either way.
@RinEdition : Laurie was in Blackadder the 2nd, 3rd & 4th. He made two Cameo's in BA the 2nd, was Prince George in BA the 3rd, and was Lieutenant George in BA the 4th. Stephen Fry was also in the three series mentioned, as Lord Melchett, the duke of Wellington, and General Lord Melchett respectfully. The main character in BA was played by Rowan Atkinson
I just ADORE this sketch! I find it especially funny because I liked the book very much! I couldn't stop laughing! "You just told me the stupid tart died in 1855!" Thank you for posting it!

This comment has received too many negative votes show
Mediocre, surely!
I would vastly prefer to see Fry in a serious role, he has only been funny in Blackadder.
But he is a talented man no doubt.
Fry and Laurie series is mediocre at best.

I think it was a bit more than a cameo Laurie played the villian in the final episode of BA 2nd
