VETERAN comedian Rowan Atkinson wants to do a fifth series of his classic sitcom Blackadder. The actor, who is currently launching his new spy spoof movie Johnny English Reborn, said yesterday: “It could be reprised in some form or other. I think there is a possibility of a fifth series.” Atkinson, 56, who also starred in Mr Bean and Not The Nine O’Clock News, told ITV’s Daybreak show that a new Blackadder would take a different approach. LinkLerts face it, as great as it would be to see Black Adder 5, How often has this been mentioned over the years? |

There has been want for another Blackadder for ages... I'd personally like to see Atkinson in something totally new, which is rare. I love Blackadder, mainly because it's so simple that it's genius. "You twist and turn like a twisty turny thing...." absolutely genius!!!

Quality comedy,up there with the best. The first series wobbled a bit,although though it had some top stars involved -Peter Cook,Brian Blessed and i thought Elspet Gray (lady Collingford in Catweazle) was very good as Edmund's mother. After series 1 they never looked back...............classic comedy. more please............  |

The final Blackadder, "Back and Forth" has what I consider to be the greatest TV theme song lyrics ever written:
"Blackadder, Blackadder
He's really quite penache
Blackadder, Blackadder
He's got a nice moustache!"

Sounds more like wishful thinking than an actual project to me...
Still, wary as I always am of "returns", if all the original talents, including Richard Curtis and Ben Elton, would get back to it, I think there's still room for new Blackadder stories to be told.
And I guess an obvious choice for period settings would be the fabulous sixties, swingin' London and all that.
