Thumbs up Black Adder. The best sitcom ever

Just watching that dire "Best Sitcom ever" stuff on BBC2...
BUT...
Blackadder is up this week and they've been recollecting THAT final scene of Blackadder Goes Forth and commented on things like the mood in the studio and the audience reaction when they were filming it.
For this scene alone and all it represented I hope it wins.

Blackadder Goes Fo(u)rth has got to be the best. The last episode is also very moving. I'm a great fan, particularly of Melchett and his "outer office". It's a worrying fact that my 8 year old daughter occasionally trots out lines like "Yes, Pratt at the back" or "Oh, Mr Thicko, fancy not knowing that" and so on. The Private Plane episode must have been written with considerable help from Service personnel as the humour is spot on -either that or perhaps we are all stereotyped already!

The girl is wetter than a haddock's bathing costume

Blackadder qoute generator courtesy of the BBC - plenty of great one-liners.

Without question the best sitcom ever made, (I fear to be toppled by Del Boy)

the link has now just gone to the top of my best links list just toppled "Roger Mellies Thesaurus".

I thought that Blackadder Goes Forth was a documentary!

Red Baron: How lucky you English are to find the toilet so amusing. For us, it is a mundane and functional item. For you it is the basis of an entire culture.

Soz but whilst i agree that BA goes forth was good, you cannot compare the excellence of the Trotter brothers. The classic inappropriate French phrases, the fact that we all know a 'Trigger' and the feel good factor when you watch an episode fair cheers I up. Not to mention the falling through the bar scene!!!!
