A rare look at what went on behind the scenes during the filming of Blackadder Goes Forth. Behind the Screen drops in during the production of Blackadder Goes Forth, to discover that the cast tend to eschew traditional rehearsals in favour of exhaustive periods of tweaking - or 'plumpening' - practically every line in the script for maximum comic effect. Includes interviews with writer Richard Curtis, producer John Lloyd and actors Rowan Atkinson (Captain Blackadder) Stephen Fry (General Melchett) and Tony Robinson (Private Baldrick).
S00E16· 1989-09-18· 5mThe Shakespeare Sketch
This non-canonical sketch was performed on stage at the Sadlers Wells Theatre on 18 September 1989. It was written for and performed at an AIDS benefit concert directed by Stephen Fry, and features Rowan Atkinson as a Blackadder-esque character chatting with Hugh Laurie as "Bill" Shakespeare, talking about cutting various sections of Hamlet – in particular the "To be or not to be" soliloquy. Ultimately, Blackadder talks Shakespeare down from an over-long speech to the familiar 'snappy' phrase. The sketch was available on video as part of Hysteria 2 – The Second Coming, released by Palace Video on 21 May 1990
