He was indeed, he played Prince Ludwig and also appeared as Simon Partridge in 'Beer'. He is not in the cast list for the first series. I raved about the first series and found no-one else had watched it. I think it stands on its own merits and is one of those rare things - a series that got better as it continued, rather than falling over itself to be funny as so many other series have.

Few characters around at the time were sexier than the Tudor Edmund Blackadder and his beard.

Guess who got the Complete Blackadder book for her birthday last year... :)
