Blackadder V?
#11
RE: Blackadder V?
The major hurdle would be to come up with some plausible way to add the series number into the title. All of them bar the first have managed it without it seeming gratuitously shoehorned in; the suffix "... Goes Forth" was a stroke of genius in this respect. All the ones I've heard of have failed this first test, perhaps because they've started with the title then tried to make something fit.

Off the top of my head the ideas mooted were "The Blackadder Five" - Rev Rye's 60s garage band, featuring a certain drummer named Bald Rick. Then there was "Blackadder In The Fifth", set in a public school fifth form.

I can't remember if there were any others, but if they were anything like those then personally I'm rather glad they quit while they were ahead - and this from a huge admirer of the Blackadder family since the days of the original Duke of Edinburgh.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

I've never seen that show. I actually thought it was pretty funny.
