Blackadder ?

Hahaha. Watching Blackadder II after reading "A concise history of costume" (and laughing at the codpieces in the costumes of Henry VIII and Charles V in pictures 83 and 87) will never again be the same innocense.

Really, I had never seen it before, but they wear codpieces -and rather noticable onces- in every episode.

"Get the door, Baldrick"
Lots of noise
Baldrick comes in with the door in his hands
"Baldrick, I advice you to make the explanation your are about to give phenomenally good"
"You said: get the door"
"Not good enough, you're fired"
"But my Lord, I've been in your family since 1532."
"So has sifillis, now get out"

In other news, last week I stumbled upon my Blackadder DVDs ... and Canvas is broadcasting it now.

costumes, dvd, quotes
