They do say, Mrs M, that verbal insults hurt more than physical pain. They are, of course, wrong, as you will soon discover when I stick this toasting fork into your head.
I love that episode where Blackadder is trying to sort out his best man and Percy is dropping heavy hints that he should do it, and blackadder is pretending not to understand.That little scream Queenie lets out is genius.
And Miranda Richardson is extremely astute ... she was on telly recently talking about her audition for the part of Queenie. Her vision of the scripting was very perceptive.
Would be nice to have quality comedy like this back instead of all the new shows full of foul mouthed teenagers obsessed with geting their leg over!!!!!!!!!!
