#WinterReadathonDailyChallenge

Something guaranteed to make me laugh is the Blackadder series (with some exception in the first series, maybe…), especially any episode that features Lord Flashheart. I still miss Rik Mayall.

Andrew65 Very true. Remember seeing Rik Mayall coming into a cafe I was in at Start Bay, Devon, along with his family, and then walking along the beach. So sad. 😢 2y

#WarIsHell, but comedy writers have managed to find humour in the situation, not least the writers of Blackadder Goes Forth. The very final scene of the series is one of the most moving television moments ever.

#ThePowerOfGoodbye made me think of the last episode of Blackadder Goes Forth, entitled Goodbyeee. The last scene is incredible - the characters are shown, in slow motion, going “over the top”; the scene then fades out and the scene of the battle as it is today, a poppy field, fades in. For a comedy show, it‘s one heck of a moving scene https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fm5n27y0WmQ

CarolynM The switch in mood in that episode, from the usual blend of wit and absurdity to the total seriousness of that final scene, is so well done. My favourite episode, though, is still Private Plane - Rik Mayall forever💔 5y
Cinfhen Not familiar with this series but that scene sounds very powerful 5y
kezzlou85 Oh that scene just gets me everytime. It's so powerful and devastating. 5y

arlenefinnigan One of the best pieces of television ever made. So powerful. 5y
TheEllieMo @arlenefinnigan that final scene? It still amazes me how a comedy show could pull out one of the most moving scenes about war 5y
kezzlou85 Such a powerful and heart breaking scene. 5y
OriginalCyn620 I‘ve not ever heard of this show! 5y

There was only one way I could go with #Flash as a prompt, and that was to the late, great Rik Mayall‘s character Flashheart in Blackadder. Flash by name, Flash by nature.

Working with this beautiful 15th century prayer book today. The image on the left of the man praying to a vision of Christ on the cross is believed to be a portrait of the patron Archbishop Blackadder of St Andrews (my alma mater)

Lcsmcat That is so beautiful! I showed it to my husband saying “Look at what beautiful books she gets to work with!” and he responded “There really was a Blackadder?” 🤦🏻‍♀️ 6y
saresmoore This is so cool, Moray! 6y
Moray_Reads @Lcsmcat 😂😂 I do love Blackadder. It's an old name from the Scottish Borders 6y
CatLass007 @Lcsmcat I had the same reaction as your husband when I saw this. 6y
LeahBergen I love the more modern Blackadder, too. 😆 6y
