Okay, now I need your help here. Are there any `Blackadder' fans out there? I remember seeing a television interview with Rowan Atkinson, who said that the original plan for `Blackadder' was set in a plot about bicycles thieves in North London. Then he said that things progressed from there and he wasn't quite sure how Blackadder developed into the landmark series that it became. Have any of you seen the interview? Or does the line about bicycle thieves ring a bell (no, that's an unintentional pun) with any fans of the series?FOOTNOTE: Did you know that it was Ben Elton who suggested that Baldrick's persona be changed to make him the stupid sidekick?

I can't believe there aren't some Blackadder fans out there who don't have the answer to this. I'd never heard it myself, but surely someone else has come across this interview and can verify it.
Ben Elton is a genius, by the way.
