We’d love to see this happen.
Blackadder is considered to be one of British comedy’s finest achievements, and many would be very excited to see it return to our airwaves.
Actor Tony Robinson, who played Baldrick, the sidekick to Rowan Atkinson’s Edmund Blackadder in each of the shows four seasons.
Robinson told The Sun that the only thing that might compromise a return for the popular 1980s historical comedy is Hugh Laurie’s fee.
Hugh Laurie also starred in each of the four seasons of the show and would be considered an essential part of the cast.
Speaking to The Sun, Robinson said ‘I do think a new series of Blackadder is on the cards. I have spoken to virtually all the cast about this now. The only problem is Hugh’s fee. He’s a huge star now – or so he’d like to think.”
Of course, Hugh Laurie is undeniably a rather huge star, having made a tumultuous amount of money as the titular character of the Emmy Award-winning American show House.
Hopefully Mr. Laurie has got enough money in the bank that he can relax his fee and bring Blackadder back to the silver screen.
