    'Blackadder' is returning to TV.

    'Blackadder' is returning to TV.

    Rowan Atkinson has revealed on twitter that he is returning for a final episode of the BBC One historical comedy alongside a number of the original cast members.

    He wrote: "One can share that there may be a blackadder reunion, what do you all think about that?"

    In response to one fan who wrote "amazing! On two conditions: 1. It has to be all of you. 2. It has to be funny!" Rowan replied "And funny it shall be!"

    He later added: "The return of Blackadder will be cunning and exquisite.

    "I can confirm, there will be one last episode of Blackadder, a reunion."

    The series - which ran for four seasons - starred Rowan as anti-hero Edmund Blackadder and Tony Robinson as his dogsbody, Baldrick. Each series was set in a different historical period with the two protagonists accompanied by different characters.

    Stephen Fry, Hugh Laurie and Amanda Richardson have all appeared in the show.

    Rowan wrote the first series with Richard Curtis who went on to write the subsequent episodes with Ben Elton.
    And Fry & Laurie might be in it!!!

                Why isn't Hugh Laurie billed with the other two? "appeared in the show" makes him sound like a guest star.
                No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.

                    Atkinson & Robinson were the stars for all four seasons (and the specials). Laurie co-stared in the last two seasons and guest stared in the second season. This was pre-"House".

                    Nursie is about 80 now, but I'm glad you still find her hot.

                      Okay, I see what I did, I confused Hugh Laurie with the actor playing Percy (I thought it was the same twit all four seasons). It's been at least twenty years since I've seen it, but I think I thought so back then, too.

                        Tim McInnerny played Lord Percy Percy in 2 and Darling in 4. I've mixed them up too.

                            That's quite alright darling.

Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours."--General Sir Charles James Napier
