Blackadder in Space

DH and I were discussing blackadder last night, I was never a fan and have never really known much about it. However I read something on Facebook and asked DH if the last episode of blackadder was really sad. He said it was, regarding the war and poppies. I was confused as I always thought blackadder was set in medieval times so DH explained that it was set in different eras from medieval to future with blackadder in space. I’d never heard of this so went looking for it … obviously nothing came up so I wrote on Facebook if anyone knew where I could get blackadder in space. DH saw the post, burst out laughing and admitted he’d made that up. How bloody stupid did I look. Thing is he knows I’m autistic and take everything as gospel - he’s done this to me before and I always end up looking stupid for believing him. One time I was nervous on a flight and DH said he was nervous too as when he walked to toilet he heard the air stewards talking about how the pilot had let one of them have a go at flying the plane. I believed him and when talking to family later told them how the pilot had let the air stewards have a go at flying. Obviously I looked a right tit.

It makes me feel so stupid. Am I just being a killjoy? I do try to laugh it off but I hate looking like an idiot.

I'm confused. It is set in different eras and there is an episode where he time travels and goes into space/the future?

The Christmas episode had futuristic Blackadder which was a bit spacey so I think that's what he means.

I only read part of the OP 😩serves me right. He's a dick trying to make you look silly for his own laughs. But there is a futuristic Blackadder!

Eastre · 31/03/2024 08:46

So it does exist? Why say he was making it up then, I spent all evening last night feeling embarrassed

There was a comic relief episode of Blackadder based on a Christmas Carol and they had a futuristic bit with them as lame space warriors. I wonder if he had a vague memory of that but when you asked for details couldn't remember so just said he had made it up to make it easier for himself.

Well, there is a blackadder set in the future (and you should watch the other ones as their miles better than the medieval one) but he's still an absolute tosser to treat you like that.

I was never a fan either. Your husband's being an ignorant prick. There was Blackadder's Christmas Carol, and the Ghost of Christmas Future part was indeed set in a sort of sci-fi setting.

ETA it's here on YouTube:

IMO Blackadder was brilliant. The first series was OK, but subsequent series were really funny.
The first series was set in Medieval times the second during Queen Elizabeth 1st, the third during the regency period and the last during the first World War.

@Eastre Your husband is a twat for making you feel awkward.

There was a Christmas special vaguely based on Dickens' A Christmas Carol. Robbie Coltrane played the ghost and there were two alternate versions of the future shown.
