I did like 'The Man From Auntie'. But that's the only time he's appeared on TV and I've not wanted to smack the self righteous **** in the gob.

A very funny man let down by his CONSTANT moaning about the Planet and all other "doo-gooder" things.
Yes, he brought us Lord "SlackBladder", but so did Richard Curtis......
The Young Ones too - can't help but think that Rik Mayall's charcacter is ever so slightly based on him.......

The world has a funny way of balancing things out doesn't it?
On the one hand you've got the excellence of Blackadder and on the other the script/story for the Queen musical... thus balance is achieved
His comedic life was ruined when Thatcher went tho wasn't it?

But lets face it Blackadder II is by far the best of the 4
Man from Auntie was good too from a Standup POV.
As a scriptwriter he is up there IMO
