It's very funny to see Hugh Laurie being completely and totally and hilariously funny in Blackadder after all these years, since the last few years have had him just being just an asshole in House. :)

More likely it's Blackadder: Back & Forth, the 2000 special with the time machine.

The sad thing is, that's the one I meant. Whoops. I just remembered the title of the OTHER one-off special. :-)

BlackAdder V

Worked out a feasible idea for a 5th series of BlackAdder.

Baldrick is the lead singer in a 5 person band, and Blackadder is the band's manager. In a way it's a reworking of Blackadder 3, but instead of a daft Prince Regent you'd have a daft rock star who indulge in absolutely stupid and ridiculous behaviour. An alternative version is that Baldrick is the roadie to the band, and that the Hugh Laurie type character is the main singer.

In any case, Blackadder would be behind the scenes, keen to promote the group but also resenting it's success and his lack of acclaim as the mastermind behind it.

I really, really like your idea. I would watch it in a heartbeat!

That's the one. For some reason the Videotape it came from says "Black Adder V - Back and Forth" on the cover and on the tape. Even on the spine.
