HUzzah!

GOLD TV (which we can't get in America and you know that drives me fucking bananas) has been celebrating the 40th anniversary of the beyond-classic Blackadder, and here's the brilliant Rik Mayall's first cameo as Lord Flashheart. Word on the street, and by that I mean something I may have thought I saw maybe on Wikipedia one time, is that Rowan Atkinson asked Richard Curtis and Ben Elton to not write him too many lines for the scene so he could focus on not cracking up the whole time. #ripRikMayall
