Speaking of updates, I've updated all the scripts I did or edited, but
haven't sent the updates to the archive site.

Those scripts are BA1-1 "The Foretelling"; BA2-5 "Beer"; BA2-6 "Chains";
BA3-1 "Dish and Dishonesty"; BA3-2 "Ink and Incapability";
BA3-3 "Nob and Nobility"; and "Blackadder's Christmas Carol."

For now, if anyone wants the updated versions, mail me keeper@deeptht.armory.com

(note the American spelling: `armory')

I put the date of the last revision on top of each script.  If you have no
date on your files, then you have an original version and desperately need
the update.  The latest revisions are dated either 17, 18, or 19 July 1992.

It would seem, (from extensive research), that the numbering on the first
series was SUPPOSED to be wrong, so that even when it was first broadcast, the 
episodes appeared to be out of sequence, even though they weren't. Follow that?
No? Good.

This isn't terribly important to most of you

but i just found out that my father has had a copy
of BlackAdder's A Christmas Carol --and he didn't

the dickens' classic)!

And here all this time my British friends said a version wsa

UPDATE: August 12, 1992 
   DONE: Christmas Carol, IV-2 Corporal Punishment

Sorry this update has been awhile, but I've been busy.  Series IV is now
nearing completion with 3 DONE, 1 IN PROGRESS, and 2 left. We need someone 
with the tapes (and a lot of boredom) to script the episodes from series I 
& the 3 left from series II.  How 'bout it?  Anyone want to sign on?

JP
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

So that we don't duplicate efforts I'm going to keep a Black Adder script list.
Scripts that have been sent to the NET are marked DONE.  Scripts for which an
individual has said they are planning to submitt are marked 
IN PROGRESS <who>.

If you plan to do a script, send what you plan to do to me so others won't 
waste energy compiling the same script.  When DONE with a script send a copy to the administrator of our favorite Black Adder FTP site.

                       Jason R. Heimbaugh (CatStyle)  jrh@uiuc.edu

To get DONE scripts FTP to:
  
                       deja-vu.aiss.uiuc.edu
and look in
                       /misc/fun/humor/television/black.adder

If any of you submitters see any mistakes I've made in the list below, please 
send me the correction.  I'll post an updates of this list as necessary.

Goons: Milligan, Secombe, Sellers (decd) plus Wallace Greenslade (decd), Ray

I think Bentine is dead now too. Secombe has got God, but both he and Milligan

I'm not sure what order these were originally broadcast, but here (Champaign-
Urbana) they have aired (both times I've seen them) 1, 4, 3, 2, 5, 6, which
according to your dates are in chronological order.  If they've always been
broadcast (i.e. by the BBC) in chron order, then perhaps you should reorder
your list.

Hmm, they either missed 1991, got tired of it, or it hasn't made it to

"The Good Life" was changed to avoid confusion with a series of the same
name made in 1975 in the US.

As for "Grace and Favour" -- I suspect Lionheart (the BBC's sales arm in
the US) wanted audiences to retain the connection with AYBS?.

Er ... Tia, darling ... er ... there was no Richard IV in reality.
Anyway, the series starts in late 1485, on the eve of the Battle of Bosworth
Field (which did happen, but not quite as it appears in BA (remember the
narrator saying that Henry VII rewrote history, and that what we see in
BA is the `real truth' ... heh)).

Well, more late 1500s -- her reign ended in 1603, which also was the end
of the House of Tudor (as in Henry VII).

The original series was called Are You Being Served? in both sides of the
pond (Atlantic pond that is), which ran sometime during the 70's and somewhat
into the 80's (I don't know the exact time frame for this, I leave that
up to someone else).  The series then ended (was canceled; dropped; what
have you).

Ther is now a NEW series starring much of the original cast.  On the British
side, it is called Grace and Favour.  On this sied, it is called Are You
Being Served, Again?  The name changed is (as has been pointed out) most
likely, so the Americans can make the connection between the to and be sucked
into watching it.  All in all, it wasn't too bad of a series but I am
really sick of the original after our local PBS station played reran it
about 5 times.  I prefer the WKRP reruns.
