Suu, I've always meant to ask you... how does Blackadder hold up, period clothing wise?

I would like to add that the above was a serious question.

[Suu]

I'll tell you more after I'm done comparing and contrasting Realpolitik to Machiavelli's writings.

[hooplala]

...poop.

[Cain]

HAHAHAHA!

HA!

Guess who's working tonight and tomorrow night, pulling down bank holiday (time and a half extra) pay?  Guess who is sleeping from 8am to 4pm tomorrow and so will miss the blanket, wall to wall coverage on UK channels? Fuck yeah.  And then I'm going to find some idiot who attended a "street party" and mock them, until they commit suicide with their stupid Union Jack* bunting?

*Guess what?  It's not called a Union Jack unless it's on a ship.  It's a Union flag, per George III, bitches.  Funny how I seem to be the only person in the country aware of this. 

[hooplala]

George III... wasn't he the, y'know, whacky one?

[Cain]

Actually, it appears to have been arsenic poisoning.

Damn, I would have said inbreeding.....

Aren't all the royals related one way or another?

Aren't all royalty?

Besides, if it was porphyria, as many suspected, another incident of it would have likely arisen by now, because of said shallow genetic paddling pool.  Plus they tested his hair and arsenic levels were off the chart.

[hooplala]

It was that damn Blackadder.

Twice in one thread!

I knew that, but I was a sea cadet...

*check, turn, check turn away, two, three*

In response to your question, Hoops, the costumes for Blackadder are actually from what I can see, more accurate than the Tudors ever wanted to be if they even tried, at least for the Elizabethan period. I haven't seen too much of it, but I was always pretty impressed.

The Borgias is already giving me a headache for their over-use of leather and modern satins.

[Slyph]

Well, Blackadder was Ben Elton, right?

[Suu]

Well, Blackadder was Ben Elton, right?

Yes, but he's a writer, I'm not sure of his experience with costuming.
