Yes! I can think of nothing better to do with most of my day. Playing with my kids and watching blackadder is much better than getting wasted and searching for the biggest, baddest fireworks package that will only let one daown in the end…  
Blackadder it is then…Hope you all enjoy the 4th…

I’m taping it. I’ve never seen the show and am looking forward to seeing what people are talking about.

Are they showing every episode made, in order? I’m hoping so.

“If he had inconwenienced you, I was going to offer you his tongue”

“Believe me, if he had… _inconwenienced_ me, you would no longer have a tongue with which to make such an offer”

“Let me assure you, Herr Blackadder, that if I no longer had a tongue with which to make such an offer, you would no longer have a tongue to tell me that if I had inconwenienced you, I would no longer have a tongue with which to offer you his tongue”

\<pause\>

“Yes, well, enough of this banter. Who the hell are you, sausage-breath?”  
Sorry…I’ll be off now

Sounds like a plan. A _cunning plan_, if you will… 😉

Pity I don’t have BBC America.

So happy I bought the 8-pack video set, plus the Christmas special and the Back & Forth special.
