Blackadder
Blackadder :
There were 4 series of Blackadder. They starred Rowan Atkinson as Blackadder himself, Tony Robinson as Baldrick, with Stephen Fry, Hugh Laurie and a few other people with bit parts.
Ben Elton was one of the writers, and it was shown on TV during the late 80s/early 90s.
It didn't actually have a catchphrase as such, but did have the word cunning in each episode a few times. "A plan so cunning you could put a tail on it and call it a weasle" being my fave.

The original fiendishly difficult puzzle,
now with solution guide
The original fiendishly difficult puzzle, invented by Erno Rubik in Hungary and one of the biggest toy crazes ever. In 1982 Hawkin's Bazaar was the first to bring a few cases of the Rubik's Cube to England. Unfortunately 25 years ago we were very small and it wasn't long before a much larger company had the exclusive rights to distribute in the UK. We are very pleased to be offering it again! And now includes a new seven step solution guide.

Also remembered...
Trollkins was a television show in the 80s about these "trolls" that lived in a tree. They were a bit like the Smurfs. Each one had their own personality. I can remember loving how the car came out of the tree trunk. I also remember how the Mayor would constantly 'spoonerize' things, and that made me want to 'spoonerize' words on purpose, peppering conversations with the word 'troll'. Mayor Lumpkin was the leader of the trolls and his assistants were Sheriff Pudge Trollson and Deputroll Flake. The mayor's daughter, Pixie Trollson was the most beautiful in all the troll land. There was also a dog called Flooky. They all spoke with really hillbilly accents, which added to the comedy, and the soundtrack was country music.

"I have a cunning plan, m'lord" was Baldrick's obsession (apart from turnips!). Series' 2 and 4 were my favourites

Watching Blackadder goes Forth as part of a Year 8 History lesson, and again for A Level English Lit. Much better than reading

Started out hilariious and got progressively worse, Back And Forth (for the Milennium celebrations at he Dome) was cr*p. Black Adder was the funniest, but BA II was better written, BA The Third was a bit of a let down and BA Goes Forth was all but unwatchable, re-hashed jokes and cr*p characters... But that's just my jaded opinion, thank God they killed it after that, rumours abound that it's coming back, I hope they're wrong.
