My great grandfather was in the flying corps. He lasted more than 20 minutes. In fact he lasted until the third battle of Ypres. Shotdown over no man's land. No idea if he died in his kite, in the crash or if he survived all that and was killed in the ground.

So this is a rather special episode of Blackadder for me. Especially as Flasheart was chosen to represent the RFC. Glad you enjoyed it.

So you saw the great comedy duo Rick Mayhall (Flashheart) and Ade Edmonson (Baron von Richthofen) together. Now you've got to react to 'Bottom' their slapstick, violent humour in the TV series (1990's/2000's) and Live is legendry. You'll love it. Their early comedy outings include the groundbreaking 'Young Ones' that had cult following in the early 80's.

Rik  Mayall in the Young Ones is a must.The best anarchic sit com ever made .

The "Don't slouch Darling" line kills me everytime 🤣🤣🤣

Nearly at the final episode of Blackadder, one of the greatest episodes of any British comedy ever.

Obviously, it goes without saying but I'm going to say it anyway: it takes a very special comic actor to do a cameo in a legendary sitcom starring the likes of Rowan Atkinson, Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry to steal the show in every scene he's in.
And Ade too. Two of my all time favorite lines in any comedy:
"How lucky you are to find ze toilet so amusing. For us it is a mundane and functional item but for you... ze basis of an entire culture"
and
"For you, a man of honour, ZE HUMILIATION VILL BE UNBEARABLE!"

You really need to see ‘Bottom’.
Rik Mayall and Ade Edmonson, RMs character is the complete opposite of Flasheart but he’s just as funny 😂

Ade Edmondson (The Red Baron) and Rik Mayall (Flashheart) were a comedy duo, they had their own hilariously mental series called Bottom, you guys have to do it.

Rik Mayall and Ade Edmonson together is always a special moment. I see a few others have mentioned the show Bottom ( with the two mentioned ). It would be unlike any show you have ever seen. Shouting, swearing, arguing, fighting all with a healthy dose of stupidity thrown in.

This episode always makes me smile.  At college, my Dad was in the same play as Rik Mayall, and was higher billed too.  He also had a higher rank in the RAF than Flasheart.  Two facts he likes to remind me of whether we see this episode.

Rick mayall was a comedy legend gone way before his time. He appeared in the young ones which was revolutionary at the time. He is also very well known for Bottom and the new statesmen. Bottom live plus the series are really worth reviewing.

“Besides it’d take a superman to get him out of there” And at that moment the distant sounds of a Beagle boarding his doghouse drifted over the land….

This series was aired back in the UK in 1989. In 1994, I was in the Royal Air Force in Saudi Arabia for a 4-month tour. There was little or no entertainment. Sattelite services were limited and even the US forces channels didn't show much. As it was, most US Air Force personnel I served alongside had seen and loved Blackadder, especially season 4.  We had a VCR and TV combi back then and someone had donated the Season 4 boxset. It got some wear. Nightly screenings for both US and British airmen. One of the things that kept me sane, pre-internet and proper cellular phones with text messaging.

You will never be prepared for the final episode of Blackadder Season 4.

Ril Mayall was a tornado of comedy, he completely dominated every show/scene he was ever in

I served in the British Army and love Blackadder Goes Fourth. Everyone I know who thinks it's disrespectful didn't serve. Even veterans of the conflict love it.

Every episode of series 4 is, strangely, becoming your favourite as you go through them. Episode 6 is the best piece of comedy you'll ever watch. Be prepared.

I just miss Rik Mayall so much can’t believe he has been dead 10 years already! Him and Ade Edmondon were so great together back in the 90s.

Rik and Ade together is always a treat. Absolute legends 👌👌

This episode is for sure in the top 3 of the entire series!
It is however not even close to the series finale. IYKYK.
Can't wait for the video on that one.
