Author's Note:
I have long been a fan of two of the greatest British comedies of all time, "Blackadder" and "Jeeves and Wooster." When watching "Jeeves and Wooster" for the first time I noticed striking similarities between Hugh Laurie's character of Bertie Wooster and his "Blackadder" persona, George. Upon seeing the episode "Jeeves in the Country," in which Jeeves resigns due to Bertie's trombone playing, I imagined how funny it would have been for Edmund Blackadder to become Bertie's new valet. That thought is what inspired the following story.
Although almost all of "Blackadder's" central characters are featured in this story, the backdrop for the tale is in the world of "Jeeves and Wooster." The story begins about a month after the events that took place at Totleigh Tower, in the episode entitled, "The Ties That Bond" (American version). Although one does not need to have seen the entire series of "Jeeves and Wooster" to understand this story, it may be helpful to make oneself familiar with the main characters and the general plot of "The Ties That Bond," since there are many scenes in this story that make reference to that episode. If you are not familiar with the series "Blackadder" or "Jeeves and Wooster," I highly recommend checking them out. Both series are currently available in very nice DVD sets.
Although the story of "Blackadder and Wooster" is entirely original, the story borrows many elements and characters from each of the series that inspired it. For the creation of the characters, Edmund Blackadder, Baldrick, Elizabeth, Kevin Darling, Nursie, Mrs. Miggins, and Flashheart, credit goes to Richard Curtis, Ben Elton, and Rowan Atkinson, along with the cast who brought the various characters to life, including Tony Robinson, Miranda Richardson, Tim McInnerny, Patsy Byrne, Helen Atkinson-Wood, Gabrielle Glaister, and Rik Mayall. For the creation of the characters, Reginald Jeeves, Bertie Wooster, Sir Roderick Spode, Madeline Bassett, Gussie Finknottle, Stilton Cheesewright, Sir Watkyn Bassett, and Aunt Agatha Greigson, as well as story elements including Totleigh Towers, Plumbo-Jumbo, and the Ganymede Club, credit belongs to P.G. Wodehouse, Clive Exton, as well as the cast members, including Stephen Fry, Hugh Laurie, John Turner, Elizabeth Morton, Richard Braine, Nicholas Palliser, John Woodnut, and Mary Wimbush. The character of Michael Kranton is an original creation.
I hope you enjoy this merging of two of the greatest British comedies of all time!
