Tony Robinson reprises Blackadder role to read ‘grown-up’ bedtime story on Comic Relief

Sir Tony Robinson has reprised his Blackadder role of Baldrick for a Red Nose Day sketch.

His special appearance marked the first time the character has returned to screens in 20 years, with Sir Tony reading a special “Grown-up Bedtime Story” produced by the CBeebies team.

The story, titled “Balder-ella”, was written by Blackadder co-creator Richard Curtis.

It also featured cartoon graphics of Baldrick in the role of Cinderella and Rowan Atkinson’s Edmund Blackadder as the ugly sister who is invited to a “magnificent ball”.
