“ROWAN Atkinson has told pals he is “extremely excited” about a planned return of cult comedy Blackadder.”

Has anyone heard anything about this from a more reliable source? Unnamed ‘sources’ from the Sun don’t exactly inspire confidence in all honesty.

I can confirm from a reliable source that this is not happening.

If it’s anything at all like the snippets of rumours I’ve heard, I sincerely hope not – it sounds bloody awful.

Oh, Blackadder 5 rumours again, it’s been a few years.

[Ian Symes]

Yes, I think this is the fourteenth time they’ve made a fifth series.

The Sun in “load of old bollocks” shocka:

[International Debris]

I mean it’s obviously bollocks, but somehow Chortle still manage to fuck it up by suggesting that Blackadder’s Christmas Carol and The Cavalier Years were after Blackadder Goes Forth.

I would like a mashup of all the different BlackAdder 5 ideas that have been floated when this “news” is reported every couple of years. So Rowan Atkinson plays an Oxford don who is the 13th disciple of Jesus and also in a band with a drummer called Bald Rick. In space.
