Talking of cunning plans …

The Herald reports:

Rowan Atkinson says a fifth season of hit comedy series Blackadder could be on the cards. …

Fans have long given up hope of a fifth season, but Atkinson told ITV’s Daybreak show in the UK that he hadn’t ruled out making another series.

“It could be reprised in some form or other. I think there is a possibility of a fifth series,” he said.

But the 56-year-old Mr Bean star said the time difference meant there would have to be some changes to the show’s format.

“We’re all getting a bit old, sadly, to play the characters in the way we did so we’d have to shift it a bit to make it work.

“They’ve all got slightly different attitudes and experiences to call upon now. It would be nice to get them all back together.”

Yes, yes, yes. Please let it be.
