The stars of Blackadder<\/em> have reportedly agreed to reunite for a new episode or series, after having met up in London to discuss the idea of bringing back the hit sitcom.<\/p>\n

The Sun<\/em> reports Rowan Atkinson, Tony Robinson, Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie agreed on a return, after meeting together at the Soho House members club in London.<\/p>\n

A source told the newspaper: “They were all having a great laugh and they are all old friends. So they just said, ‘Yes, let’s do it’. It is being written now. Rowan has been saying he is extremely excited.”<\/p>\n

The new series will reportedly be set in the modern day, with Blackadder<\/em> as a university lecturer.<\/p>\n

Speaking in a recent newspaper interview, co-writer Richard Curtis said: “The thing about Blackadder<\/em> was, it was a young man’s show criticising older people, saying how stupid those in authority were. So I did once think, ‘If we ever did anything again, it should be Blackadder as a teacher in a university, about how much we hate young people’.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
