    Episode 15: Christmas Special

    Welcome to a very special Christmas episode of Lord Of Adders Black, where we have invited back two old friends – comedian Harry Hussey and author Jem Roberts – and one new one, Australian podcaster and comedy obsessive Ciarán Moffat.

    This episode takes the form of a quiz on Blackadder’s Christmas Carol, lovingly compiled and presented by Chairman Jem. Here, two teams – Ireland (Ian and Harry) and Australia (Michael and Ciarán) – face off in a battle of wits, knowledge and ill-educated guesses that seeks to separate the wallabies from the wannabes.

    By cunning design, the quiz questions also fuel a lively discussion about Blackadder’s Christmas Carol throughout the episode, with merriment and rosy-cheeked caperings aplenty. As ever, we dive off at gleeful tangents before coming to a suitably festive finish where we and our guests wax lyrical about our favourite Christmas films.
