Blackadder is to make a one-off comeback this Christmas - with the first in-depth interview with Rowan Atkinson about his character and involvement. Blackadder
Atkinson and the cast of the comedy series will return for a documentary special on BBC1, marking 25 years of the much-loved sitcom.
The BBC said Blackadder Rides Again will include the first ever in-depth interview with Edmund Blackadder himself about his personal experience of being involved in the show.
There will also be interviews with other members of the cast and writers including Stephen Fry, Tony Robinson, Ben Elton, Hugh Laurie, Richard Curtis, Miranda Richardson and Tim McInnerny.

On a more coherent note - I'd just woken up this morning when I first commented - this is fantastic. I've been watching a lot of Blackadder recently, and it made me sad to think of this fabulous, hilarious series and then think of Rowan not wanting to take part in the specials, and wondering what that meant about the way he feels about it now. Because it would be absolutely tragic for him to have decided that he no longer liked it, or be bitter over the experience in some way or another, especially after watching the specials with their rehearsal footage, and seeing how much fun they all seemed to have making it. I'm glad he's decided to hop back on board.
Also, I hope this is what it says it is - an interview with 'Edmund Blackadder', because that would be amazing. *g*

Black Adder Back Again - Bravo !!!!! This is indeed a great Christmas gift. I hope we get this in the States soon after Britain does. Best yet - I'll be glad to buy a DVD, if available, of this latest Black Adder. Clive, Rita, thank you both for telling us in Mirandatia about it.
