The first of three Blackadder specials we\'ll be watching, and because "The Cavalier Years" is short and brutal, we\'re making it a double feature with another Rowan Atkinson one-off: Doctor Who parody "The Curse of Fatal Death," written by a guy named Steven Moffat who would go on to use all the same jokes in the real show, but in earnest (not that we\'re complaining!). The opening ramble-logue this time covers more of the media we\'re currently consuming, and takes an unexpected detour into the children\'s books we loved, including the best YA science fiction writer you\'ve never heard of.
