Curtis hints at another 'Blackadder' series

The cast of 'Blackadder' are considering reuniting for another series.

Director Richard Curtis - who co-wrote the iconic comedy with star Rowan Atkinson in the 1980s - has hinted a fifth series could soon be in the works.

The director said: "I will not rule another series out. It did occur to me the other day that it would have been funny to have done a fifth series set when we actually did the first series - in 1984 - with Blackadder working in No. 10 and very annoyed about a series called 'Blackadder' which showed his ancestors had been fools."

However, 52-year-old Curtis is worried after 26 years the comedic team might have lost their touch.

He added: "I have always said that Blackadder was a young man's show about how stupid people in authority were.

"There might be a time when we are all old men and we want to say how stupid young people are. That moment has not yet quite arrived."
