Beau Brummel was the most famous dandy of the era - was initially friends with the Price Regent then fell out with him and fell into penury. After they fall-out he famously bumped into Lord Alvanley and the Prince on the street.He chatted to Alvanley while studiously ignoring the Prince and finally said "Tell me, Alvanley. Who is your fat friend?"

Warren Clarke is hilarious as Amy’s industrialist father - he played Dim in Kubrick’s A Clockwork Orange - he also played Oliver Cromwell in the Jacobean special of Blackadder

My favourite episode. Miranda Richardson (Queenie) is so great in this one.

I loved that they used a version of James Mason's voice for the highwayman disguise. A lovely tip of the hat to some of his roles as various dashing rogues 😊

He was in the original film The Wicked Lady with Margaret Lockwood, later remade with Faye Dunaway , a far more lewd remake! James Mason played The Highwayman in it!

"Mind, sir! Or I shall take off me belt and, by thunder, me trousers'll fall down!" 😂😂😂 That's the kind of line I long to use more often in conversation 🤣🤣🤣

Lady Hamilton was an actress and artists' model who, though she became "Lady" Hamilton because of her brief marriage and subsequent widowhood to the diplomat Sir William Hamilton, is best remembered today for being the mistress of Admiral Lord Nelson. Caroline of Brunswick, who Blackadder impersonates at 4:58, was the woman that Prince George did in fact end up marrying. She did have a reputation for being forceful in terms of personality (as well as being extremely unhygienic) but the marriage became unsuccessful because of George's repeated gambling and unfaithfulness with his illegal first wife, Maria Fitzherbert.

10:48 Lady Hamilton is Lady Emma Hamilton, mistress to Admiral Lord Nelson and one third of the weirdest relationship of the time.

The georgie porgie line is from a english nursery rhyme about prince george.

Loving your deep dive into blackadder, the glorious Miranda Richardson appearing again.

Series: 4 is almost here, it’s the best!

The balcony scene is a mickey take of a similar scene from the play 'Cyrano De Bergerac' (1897) by Edmond Rostand. The same scene appears in just about every film of the same name, the best of which I think is the 1990 French film with Gérard Depardieu.

The best episode. It won the Montrose European comedy award. Rowan Atkinson won the award a second time for the first Mr Bean episode. Need to check that out too guys. Thanks for uploading. 😂

My favorite line ever! 😁

Can't believe you guys haven't done Armstrong and Miller WW2 pilots yet! Check it out, you won't be disappointed!

You need to check out either Bottom with Rick Mayle or horrible histories

The titles are based on Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility, from the early 1800's.

You must watch Blackadder Back and Forth ! They have guest stars such as Colin Firth and Kate Moss and of course Flashheart !

It's not historical fiction. The Prince Regent (future King George IV) did spend beyond his means & gambled quite a bit. He was the worst of the Hanoverian Kings. (Though you lads would probably say his father King George III was lol)

The father is played by Warren Clarke....who played, Dim, in, A Clockwork Orange.

I assume Warren Clarke was imitating Timothy West as Bradley Hardacre from the series Brass. Or the father in Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

And Dalziel and pascoe which was awesome

All the titles are a spin on Jane Austin’s novel Sense & Sensibility written in 1811

And Pride and Prejudice.

I had no idea that Americans are getting infected by our silly humour and actually like it ... fantastic that you guys enjoy it.

We need to see episode 6 with you guys!!

Classic line what we still say to this day "Trousers down! tackle out .. take me roughly from behind" 😂😂😂😂

Can't wait to watch season 4 with you boys!

Look forward to the Duke of Wellington 🤣

The next episode's the best one!

The opening monologue is similar to the Lyrics “You’re a slave to money…then you die…..”

Have they not realised that the Prince Regent's name is George and not Charles?

George was the Prince Regent - ruling the country while his father,the King suffered with insanity

"SAUSAGE TIME!" lol

No need to say "Over my head" when you don't get the reference. It's clear that whoever Lady Hamilton is, she must be somewhat famous for loose morals at the time (hence the joke)... that's all you need to know (she was a mistress to Lord Nelson).

Next ep is the best of the series.

Need Duel and Duality next

The Third was the best season. But Private Plane's the best episode.

Fucking classic!!!!

The Prince was a gambler

And a womaniser, and a glutton. When Miranda Richardson calls him 'Georgie Porgie', she is alluding to 'Georgie Porgie, pudding and pie. Kissed the girls and made them cry' Now considered a 'nursery rhyme' but was, in fact, a crude rhyme ridiculing Prince George...

I assume you guys have recognised Miranda Richardson from Harry Potter as Rita Skeeter

Often the higher-ups would marry for land, alliances as well as actual money.

doing any more Blackadder?

Where’s episode 6?

Incidentally Prince George , later King George the 4th did end up marrying Caroline of Brunswick ‘the worst personality in Germany’ and he treated her like crap.

Yeah if I remember rightly he had her removed from his coronation and had the doors to Westminster Abbey locked so she couldn't get back in.

Guys where's S3E6?

Where's the last episode? And next series?

Please pay attention to the community posts, we're tired of repeating ourselves

Oh dear! These poor two are evidently struggling with this and are too busy trying to follow the language to get the jokes. This is more or less " dumbed down" Shakespeare and a lot of the Bard's comic passages need fully digesting before you get the joke. Spencer and Daniel look as if they're sweating at their school desks dreading that they are to be tested on what they are watching Haha.

My least fave of series 3

Seriously guys, the editing on these is genuinely making them unwatchable. I know why you chop it up, but there MUST be better ways of avoiding copyright than butchering the timing of every joke in comedy shows. I used to watch a ton of videos on this channel, but I'm basically forcing myself to watch just a few these days because of how they're chopped up. They're just not fun to watch because of the editing.

Warren Clarke is hilarious as Amy’s industrialist father - he played Dim in Kubrick’s A Clockwork Orange - he also played Oliver Cromwell in the Jacobean special of Blackadder
