Certainly, I don't find any of them remotely funny at the present moment.
Edmondson and Mayall had an interesting chemistry 20 odd years ago, back in the mid 1980s. I haven't watched Bottom in a good while, perhaps a re-watch is due?
Laurie and Fry have never impressed me. A matter of taste I guess, but I simply do not find their schtick funny at all. Laurie is currently doing a decent job on House, although I must say I don't enjoy the show.
Elton, Atkinson, Curtis...words fail me regarding these three.

My problem with any kind of new Blackadder is that last time they got together (for the Millenium episode) it wasn't too good. I think the only time you may see more Blackadder is if Richard Curtis gets them together for future Comic Relief bits.

I would disagree with you on Dr Who. I think old gayboy's done a good job rejuvinating it. True, it's getting a bit tedious now, especially with the addition of Shrill Ginger Woman, but it's still a decent show...

And back on the subject of Blackadder, it's been an awful long time since Rowan Atkinson was actually funny.

It's not that bad. But then I haven't seen any of the previous 26 series'.

But improved infinitely since Annoying Almost Black Woman.

I like Black Woman. I would definitely consider some miscenegation with her. Especially if she wore that Cyberman suit she popped up wearing in Torchwood once.

Are you sure? They were both Black?

I just looked it up, it's Caroline Chezkie (?). And they don't all look the same at all, Griff. But they do look quite similar when they're wearing silly half Cyberman outfits.

Of course they all look the same!

And the black Doctor Who woman, Freema thingyface I think, needs a nice big portion of death.

Here's a website for you, Aaron. I might start posting over there, because they've got a forum that rivals Jake Hows.

Not as much as Catherine Tate who might even rival Bonnie Langford in the all-time unbelievably bad Dr-Who-companion casting stakes.

Nah, Tate's alright.

I'm going to hack it and turn it into some kind of car porn site or something.

Have you all gone mental?

The cyberwoman was on Torchwood.

Unless you're talking about something completely different.

Quite possibly. (Gone mad.)

Not a very cutting idea but maybe Blackadder as some sort of media monster? A Simon Cowell character? Imagine the put downs? But I originally thought a Max Clifford character more so.

But I generally think it's best to leave it.

Oops, turns out I've gone mad. I could swear you said Doctor Who.

Since seeing Rowan on an old interview talking about Jack The Ripper, that's the new era I would want them in. With perhaps Blackadder as the Ripper himself.
