The True History Of The Blackadder: The Unadulterated Tale of the Creation of a Comedy Legend - Tapa blanda
Críticas:
"a rather elegant overview of Eighties British TV comedy... If you have any interest in comedy, you will love this book ... [Roberts’] research has been assiduous, his judgments are sound and his puppyish enthusiasm encouraged his interviewees to give their best. Unlike Baldrick’s cunning plans, this one seems to have worked" (Marcus Berkman Daily Mail)
"This really is the full history... for true buffs, this is not to be missed" (Press Association)
"lively, warm-hearted" (TLS)
"The True History of the Black Adder is a brilliant read for any fan of Edmund Blackadder, as well as a great introduction into the history of the contemporary comedy scene" (BookGeeks)
"An almost perfect history of the greatest British sitcom there has ever been" (comedy.co.uk)

They had a cunning plan.
A few decades ago, three young grads from England's greatest universities - Oxford, Cambridge, and Hull (actually, Manchester) - came up with a historical comedy series. Few thought it would live long in the memory.
Today, Blackadder is a timeless comic masterpiece, and its stars have gone on to glittering careers. The True History of the Black Adder is the first ever history of one of Britain's greatest and most unique sitcoms, from its medieval beginnings to its legendary tragic finale.
Informed by exclusive - and hilarious - interviews with essential figures like Rowan Atkinson, Tony Robinson, Ben Elton, Stephen Fry, Brian Blessed and many more, this the definitive account of how a British institution came to be, as well as a fascinating look into how this classic comedy was almost very different - and a compendium of brilliantly funny anecdotes from a team of Britain's most celebrated comedians.
British history is a patchwork of questionable stories, constantly rewritten, re-evaluated and ridiculed; final editorial control has always belonged to the winners. And nobody likes winners...
At last, Blackadder enthusiasts can now uncover THE cunning plan, in all its hideous hilarity.
