<p>Today Tony is talking to the composer Howard Goodall CBE, who wrote the now iconic Blackadder theme tune. Howard is one of Britain’s best-known composers of choral music, stage musicals, TV and film scores. He wrote the themes tunes for many hit comedy shows including Red Dwarf, Mr. Bean, The Vicar of Dibley, The Catherine Tate Show, 2point4 Children and Q.I. but like so many of the talent who worked on the show, it all started with Blackadder.</p><br><p>Last year Blackadder turned 40, to mark the occasion, Tony made a TV show in which he tracked down the lost Blackadder pilot to discover the truth of Blackadder's beginnings. You are hearing Tony’s unedited, behind the scenes chat with Howard Goodall recorded for the programme. The show is called Blackadder: The Lost Pilot and you can watch it on Sky, Virgin & Now</p><br><p>Hosted by Sir Tony Robinson</p><br><p><a href="https://twitter.com/Tony_Robinson" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">X</a> | <a href="https://www.instagram.com/sirtonyrobinson/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a></p><br><p>With</p><br><p>Howard Goodall CBE | <a href="http://www.howardgoodall.co.uk" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.howardgoodall.co.uk</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/Howard_Goodall" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@Howard_Goodall</a></p><p> </p><p>Credits: </p><p> </p><p>Series Producer: Melissa FitzGerald X <a href="https://twitter.com/Melissafitzg" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@melissafitzg</a></p><p> </p><p>Executive Producer: Dominic de Terville</p><p> </p><p>Blackadder: The Lost Pilot is produced by Red Sauce</p><p> </p><p>A Zinc Media Group production</p><p> </p><p>Follow:</p><p> </p><p>X <a href="https://twitter.com/Cunningcastpod" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@cunningcastpod</a></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/cunningcastpod/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@cunningcastpod</a></p><p> </p><p>YouTube <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@cunningcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@cunningcast</a></p><p> </p><p>If you enjoyed my podcast, please leave us a rating or review.</p><p> </p><p>Thank you, Love Tony x</p><p><strong> </strong></p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
