Elizabeth I

Queen Elizabeth was not actually reknowned for her comedy work. It is rumoured that she once did a ten minute set at the Glasgow Empire in between Bruce Forsyth and Ken Dodd but neither of them will verify it.

This particular comedy entry however refers to the rather splendid portrayal of everyone's favourite Elizabethan by Miranda Richardson in Blackadder II.

A full Blackadder entry will be arriving shortly, for now let's look at Queenie in action.

First is an extract from Blackadder Back and Forth that was originally shown in The Millennium Dome


A little interaction with Nursie




and a little bit more...
