Fingers crossed that they do it, and then it's on a par with the other series. However sadly we won't be seeing Lord Flasheart.

I'm in 2 minds on this.
On the one hand, it could be great. On the other, it could just be a bit limp, not hot the mark, and we're left feeling a bit deflated. To follow that final episode of Blackadder IV is a huge ask.
And we have now all been exposed to Tony Robinson on Time Team, a programme that makes me want to reduce my television to its component atoms.

Please don't, just leave it alone.
I'm hoping that the cast are fed up getting asked about Blackadder 5 so they are just messing about,
"Yeah, Yeah, It'll be set in space in 2125. Baldrick will be the alien king of england. I've spoke to all the cast just this week and its definitely a goer"

I'm inclined to agree.As much as I love Blackadder, I do wonder whether the weight of expectation would be just too much for a new series.
IMHO probably best not to remake the show. Can you think of anything Atkinson's done in the last few years which was remotely funny?

The curse of having a lengthy career in comedy.The good thing with Blackadder is it's premise, it could be set anywhere. That might help.
