I was surprise to discover that the very first dialogue ever delivered on Blackadder was from "Uncle Fred" of "Coronation Street", there's a great question for a pub quiz. Compared to the later episodes this was not all that funny but pilots are made of course to iron out any faults and make the actual series a lot better. The sets looked very expensive for a pilot and it's mentioned that one of Blackadder's hats cost more than the writer was paid. Fans have to see this of course as this is where it all started and I'm looking forward to the documentary due on "Gold" channel in the next few days.
