Oh well frank is a very unlucky man and quite literally everything he touches or anything he does goes to shit and I mean everything I'm surprised his wife was still alive by the end of the show

2024-10-25 23:30:15 +0000 UTCLol! My bad! ๐ And decaf Mandy is an exhausted version of myself, constantly on the brink of falling asleep and not able to pay attention to anything. Not as fun ๐คฃ

2024-10-25 23:28:28 +0000 UTCOh fun! Thank you! ๐ค๐

2024-10-25 23:19:13 +0000 UTCSince you mentioned about hearing Queenie's real voice.. then I want to recommend this super cute 10 minute video of Queenie and Nursie.. and separately Baldrick and Percy picking through their old Blackadder II costumes at the BBC. I think it was filmed around perhaps 15 years ago. You can also see the studio where the show was filmed and where the audience would have sat! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69_CRNMZ1uc I've rewatched it just now and there's nothing spoilersy in there

2024-10-25 12:42:19 +0000 UTCIt'll be fine. I've still got the air fryer. There's sometimes some shouting and a lot of swearing when I'm on dbd. I swear those killer are getting more and more OP. Not really friendly to newer players tbh. ๐ค

2024-10-25 12:35:41 +0000 UTCI really don't know. It does sound like Robert Stephens, and he was taking small jobs at the time, but I just don't think they would've brought an actor like that in just to do a couple of lines. Unless he was a personal friend of the producer or something, I just can't see it. I've studied Warren Clarke. He can indeed do a wide variety of accents very convincingly, but it always sounds like his voice, so I don't see that being the case. For the same reasons, I can't accept that it's Kenneth Connor. I'm actually coming down on the side of it being Miranda's own voice, dropped an octave. There's just a cadence to it that is so unique to her delivery. Think about her saying "Oh dear, maybe your ears need unblocking". It's just delivered in such a Miranda Richardson way. If it's someone mimicking that I'd be very impressed. But people say that technology wasn't good enough in 1987 to have done that so well. I think people underestimate technology. I think it might be her.

2024-10-25 09:38:23 +0000 UTCMiranda is back! erm... Queenie I mean :) Mandy is also here :) I didn't remember too much about this episode, so it was a little fresher to me than others. That 'Queenie!!!' squeal, I'm sure had dogs howling from 5 doors down :) I'm so glad I wasn't wearing headphones, haha. Too much caffeine, Mandy. What would a decaf Mandy be like? I looked forward all day to watching this tonight, and you did not disappoint (not that you could). Great stuff. I had a question to put to you, but I've forgotten it now. If I remember, I'll ask. :) Grrrr so annoying when that happens.

2024-10-25 01:41:02 +0000 UTCLots of great moments in this one, thanks Mandy! ๐ Speaking of DBD I always thought Greg Davies would make a terrifying hulk of a killer. And I can imagine a jittery little Alex Horne trying to fix those generators.

2024-10-25 00:27:19 +0000 UTCMate of mine lost his leg too in a motorbike accident. Car overtook on a blind bend and hit him head on. Leg could have survived tho some medical negligence occured so it went septic. so he got a payout of over a million quid. Managed to sort himself a prosthetic tho, he can run again now
Benjamin Taylor-Yates
2024-10-24 23:44:16 +0000 UTCPossibly. The breaker does work; it's just the RCD trips first. It's a 45 amp circuit, probably didn't get the new wiring replacements that were put in force a couple of years ago, since its been on the market.
Benjamin Taylor-Yates
2024-10-24 23:40:54 +0000 UTCA guy I used to work with was pretty unlucky: 1. Lost the lower half of his right leg in a motorcycle accident. 2. His wife left him for a guy in prison for murder. 3. He had a large gun collection which he put up for sale, but someone broke into his house and stole them all.

2024-10-24 22:53:04 +0000 UTCTheres an old film from 1945 called "The Wicked Lady", its about a rich woman who takes on the disguise of a famous highwayman to get some excitement in life, only to be confronted by the real highwayman she is imitating. Bit of a romance film. I had to watch it as research when I took history and we studied highwayman whilst looking at crime and punishment throughout the years. Highwayman were always romantasised in literature and films.

2024-10-24 22:49:21 +0000 UTCIt trips the whole fuse board rather than just one breaker? Maybe the breaker for the kitchen is not rated high enough.

2024-10-24 22:30:30 +0000 UTCMandyโs rules say no religion ๐ It depends whether souls exist outside of the body. Thereโs no evidence for it so far. But the existential questions about the universe are quite interesting. I like watching debates between atheists and believers. Itโs quite entertaining when it gets heated.

2024-10-24 21:58:41 +0000 UTCWhen Blackadder is naming potential women for the prince, he names Caroline of Brunswick (saying she is the worst personality in Germany). She is actually who the Prince went onto marry in real life, and he hated her and spent ages to try and divorce her but noone would allow it ๐ . She eventually got ill and died saving him the trouble. It was an arranged marriage and he only married for her money to pay off his debts, as has been mentioned, he lived an extreme lavish lifestyle. He would taunt her and was jealous of her popularity with others. Once he had a kid with her, he pretty much washed his hands of her altogether, living separate lives whilst married.

2024-10-24 20:27:53 +0000 UTCIt would be good if there was life after death but I don't think there is. Though ypu could say we live on in the hearts of those who love us for a time. What about you Josh?

2024-10-24 18:48:46 +0000 UTCIf you've ever watched the Harry Potter movies then you've probably already heard Miranda Richardson speaking in a more normal voice as she plays Rita Skeeter.

2024-10-24 16:38:56 +0000 UTCDon't get me started on house stuff. ๐ฉ Spent an hour today pulling out the oven to get to the hob. It's got an electric fault which rather than tripping the breaker...trips the whole house. ๐ณ. Pulled it all apart, everything looks okay on the hob but the mains wire feels a bit gritty. Must be burnt out, but worse still it means I can't just replace/fix the hob. Gotta get the sparky in. Only last week I borrowed a hoover from my mate cos mine started sparking. ๐ถ More money.........gone! Btw the radish thing...real punishment apparently. ๐ ๐. They'd insert it and hammer it in. Hence Blackadder said "hammer it home". Also, if bugs are an issue, I've heard spiders hate lavender and mosquitos hate fire. I.e. candles. So a few lavender candles burning while you paint might do the trick ๐๐ Ps. DbD...it's a love/hate relationship for me.

2024-10-24 14:18:37 +0000 UTCThe Little Baby Jesus was pretty insistent on that kind of thing, but he's since left us, so we can't really debate it any further with the guy. Ah, it'll be 2024 years ago come this December - where does the time go?

2024-10-24 14:11:42 +0000 UTCThere is some debate as to who is the voice of the Shadow. Google's Gemini AI returns Kenneth Connor, "Mossop" from the previous episode. But it doesn't sound anything like him, there is no mention of the source, and it's often hilariously wrong. I'm sure you've seen the memes. Many websites claim it is Warren Clarke, who also plays Mr Hardwood in this episode. Apparently he can do a variety of voices. But that may be wrong too, and all these websites could be getting the same wrong info from the same source. Some claim it is actor Robert Stephens, because it sounds just like him, and he often lends his voice to radio roles etc. Some say it is simply Miranda Richardson's voice through a filter. Unfortunately, it is not credited anywhere and the truth might be lost to time.
Tony Mingoia
2024-10-24 14:10:52 +0000 UTCOf course there isn't, Josh. What a question! Where did you get an idea like that from?
