Blackadder-Sense&Senility Part 1/4

Blackadder the Third is set in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, a period known as the Regency. For much of this time, King George III was incapacitated due to poor mental health, and his son George, the Prince of Wales, acted as regent. During this period, he was known as "the Prince Regent".
When an assassination attempt is made on the prince, against Blackadder's wishes, the prince hires two actors to help him improve his image, by means of elocution lessons. Guest starring writer and comic Ben Elton as the Anarchist, and Kenneth Connor and Hugh Paddick as the actors Mossop and Keanrick.

Lol most everyone says how weird it is to see "House" playing this part. For me it's the other way around. I watched Hugh in Blackadder and Jeeves and Wooster, etc for years before House :P

So Laurie was in "Sense and sensibility" as well as in "Sense and senility", fun.

I love this series. Not only was the humor good, but they actually tried recreating the period with costumes, music, etc as authentically as possible. I especially love the beginning intros. :)

Well, I love that too! This is my favorite season of Blackadder. Right now, though, I'm obsessively watching through the seasons of Whose Line Is It Anyway, which I think Hugh and Rowan should've been guests. Makes me wonder though, if they were on the UK version.
