Getting to know each other!

Hi Crafty Fox

Check out Blackadder Goes 4th with Rowan Atkinson. "I have a plan so cunning you could pin a tail on it and call it a weasel" is one of his phases. It's hilarious. There was 4 series of Blackadder and several special one offs. The costumes are brilliant too as they go throughout the ages. It's very British humour.
