Tony Robinson hints at Blackadder return

OHMYGOSSIP — Tony Robinson thinks ‘Blackadder’ could return for a fifth series.
The 72-year-old actor suggested a reunion with former cast mates Rowan Atkinson and Hugh Laurie could be on the cards 30 years after the last episode aired on the BBC.
He is quoted by the Daily Star newspaper as saying: “I do see a version of the show coming back. There are a host of other periods in history which could be turned into a six-part ‘Blackadder’ series.
“We’d have to get the old group back together again. I know everyone is busy doing wonderful things, but we all have fond memories so I’m sure we would work it out.”
While Atkinson, 63, will be hitting the big screen next month with ‘Johnny English Strikes Again’, Laurie, 58, stars as Mycroft Holmes in the upcoming movies ‘Holmes and Watson’ alongside Will Ferrel and John C. Reilly.
Each series of ‘Blackadder’ covered a different period of history, including the Middle Ages, Elizabethan England, the Georgian Era and a run of episodes focused on the trenches during World War One.
The cast also featured the likes of Tim McInnemy, Stephen Fry and the late Rik Mayall.
Last year, Tony suggested Dustin Hoffman could take over his role of Baldrick if the show was ever remade.
He said: “If anyone else were to play Baldrick, I would choose Dustin Hoffman. I’ve just always thought that, as a performer, [Hoffman] was a kindred spirit.
“Right from ‘The Graduate’ onwards, I just know why he’s made the acting choices he has. I can’t explain it, but when I see what you’re doing Dustin, I just get it.”
