Blackadder is set to make another cunning comeback.
Just days after Sir Tony Robinson reprised his role as the comedy favourite character Baldrick for Comic Relief, he’s teased he’ll be doing it again.
A new project is in the pipeline and it’s going to be something fans have never seen before.

It is due to be officially announced this spring.
Tony said: “There is something new coming at some point in the next few months, but I’m sworn to secrecy as to precisely what it is.
“All I can say is that it will be on TV, and it’s something associated with Blackadder that viewers won’t have seen before.”
Tony agreed to become dozy Baldrick again after seeing how much fans love the character.
Talking about the reaction to his Comic Relief sketch, he added: “I was swamped with love from the public after that, so I’m feeling very positive about the future.”
The new TV project comes less than a month after we revealed the BBC wants to bring back Blackadder for a new series.
Its comedy boss Jon Petrie teased he is open to having talks with the comedy’s writer Richard Curtis.
He said: “We would always be happy to talk to Richard.”
Blackadder ran for four series in the 80s and was a hit with millions of Brits.
The show, which also starred Rowan Atkinson, is regularly voted one of the best comedies in TV history.
Tony had previously reprised his role for a Comic Relief Red Nose Day sketch in 1988 alongside Rowan.
The special, which was set during the English Civil War, saw Edmund Blackadder and Baldrick as the last two men loyal to the defeated King Charles I of England.
