      @EthnoEuropean's CountriesAreBeingInvaded The show was videotaped in 1987 in analogue 625 line PAL for broadcast to audiences in the UK with glass tube TV sets rarely bigger than 24 inches. We had only four channels then, all in glorious surround mono. So no, there won't be an HD version.

      Yeah, I'm sure my last flu with pneumonia was way worse. So cry me a river! I was having very high fever, I was suffocating in my sleep and threw up all the food, couldn't keep any in my stomach. And that was three years ago. I'm pretty sure either covid19 exists in Eastern Europe since many years or flu is regularly worse.

    I grew up on the Black Adder!!! I was in high school and I was just learning world history, then I would come home and watch this. It was always brilliant and it's still so funny!!! The sad thing is not many people around me shared the same sense of humor, they didn't get it. I was a geek/nerd back then and I had my own laughs lol only me and closest friends who studied could understand. I grew up in Croatia, ex Yugoslavia at the time the show was on the TV I always loved later to be the most popular British actors ever. I didn't like Mr Bean though, Black Adder is how I want to remember Rowan Atkinson 😄
