It’s time to go over the top, Buzzkillers! We interview Professor Richard Grayson about the wildly popular BBC television series, BlackAdder, and how close it was to historical reality. There are probably more myths about war than any other part of history, and BlackAdder addressed many of them. Let’s “go forth!” and see if they got their history right.

    I am listening to this episode and I am wondering if Blackadder was similar to M*A*S*H, where the show was placed in the Korean War, but was really about the Vietnam War. The Falklands War took place the year before the first series aired.
