Personally, it's 2.

The Black Adder tried a bit too hard and Rowan Atkinson didn't really define his character well enough. Although it had BRIAN BLESSED in it.

Blackadder the third had some good moments and Hugh Laurie was excellent.

Blackadder Goes Forth was a pretty solid series.

But Blackadder II properly set the template, and Miranda Richardson was just perfectly cast.

Evening Jeff.
I'm not long in from work. I think I'm turning into rachelswipe...

how big are your boobs?

( rachelswipe with a fork, Tue 14 Dec 2010, 23:28, Reply)

Not as big as yours, fortunately!
Also, my partner of choice has never shat the bed and I have never accidentally exposed myself to the neighbours.

No? Then it's just a number.

Since my 30's and my divorce I have regressed, Jeff.
I now possess more toys than I did when I was five.

/may be slight exaggeration.
( Davros' Granddad a voice of calm reason in a world of spastics., Tue 14 Dec 2010, 23:48, Reply)

So I've got toys to look forward to!
Yay!

What toys can I hope to get?
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Tue 14 Dec 2010, 23:55, Reply)

In my case lots of Daleks :/
Obviously. I'm hoping to get the eleven Doctors set for Christmas. It's a good job the missus loves me.

Conversely, I am the easiest bloke in the world to buy for!

Have you been to any conventions?

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Wed 15 Dec 2010, 0:03, Reply)

Just the one
in Liverpool, in 1990. It was at the Adelphi hotel and was brilliant. My ex wife just looked bewildered for most of it. We sat at a table for dinner one night next to Nicholas Courtney who played the Brigadier.

There's one up here every November but I always seem to be booked whenever it happens. Maybe next year.

I'm not a 'massive' fan, but I always watched when I was growing up.
I think the Kevin Sampson book, 'Away Days' has a passage in there (based on truth) about an encounter with Tom Baker.

The book isn't worth reading (although it is slightly better than the film of the same name, which really was shit).

Who are your top 3 Doctors then?

I'd go, Baker, Pertwee and the current one. In that order.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Wed 15 Dec 2010, 0:15, Reply)

Tom.
Apart from that I can't chose, although Matt Smith is bloody good. I like them all though.

Did you ever get round to watching The Inbetweeners?

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Tue 14 Dec 2010, 23:31, Reply)

not yet........

Or listened to a group of 15 year old lads
saying sexual swear words in a childish fashion repeatedly? Much the same experience.

No, no, off topic is more like Cock! Knickers! Fanny!

And with the odd smattering of croissants.

I found the first series quite funny.
I don't expect many from round these parts to agree with me though.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Tue 14 Dec 2010, 23:40, Reply)

I get that some people
could relate to it, but there was literally nothing that rang a bell for me. It was just cringy and a bit boring
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Tue 14 Dec 2010, 23:53, Reply)

I had a mate who genuinely though the first series was the best.
Some people, eh?

I went through a stage of sitting by Tony Robinson at football most weekend.
He was often at Ashton Gate with his kids, he is an all-round lovely bloke.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Tue 14 Dec 2010, 23:33, Reply)

If a player was being particularly shit that weekend
did you nudge Tony and exclaim in a knowing manner "I wonder where they DUG HIM UP FROM, TONY? Eh, eh?"

He did quote a few things for the club as 'Baldrick'
Famously at a City v Rovers game, he did the half-time draw to which there was a cry of 'can we hear Baldrick sing? No, No! Can we hear Baldrick sing, we can't hear a fucking thing!'

He responded in kind with a 'yes you fucking can' ending and got load of grief in the local press. The same local press who didn't mention the on-pitch battle at the end of the game involving about 500. It was the worst in-ground trouble I've seen since the 80s!

He also did a few of Baldricks poems at various club evening (whilst dressed in character)

'Lee Matthews, Lee Matthews, when you scored, you were a hit, this very rarely happened, 'cos you were never fucking fit'

He had something for most of the squad.
