Try the very last episode of Blackadder goes Forth. I had a class when I was
at school the name of which totally escapes me and was pretty much a totally
pointless and wasted hour, but was aimed at teaching and discussing social
issues etc. We had a class on war. We saw parts of three films or programmes
showing the impact of war. One was the end of All Quiet on the Western Front
(I think - we saw that definitely but whether this scene is from the other
thing we saw I'm not sure) where the camera moves back from one cross to
show a whole field of them, I can't remember the second thing but it was
equally a well known dramatic work, the last thing was the very end of
Blackadder .... Blackadder had the biggest effect.

Anyway I'll wait and see what his acting ability is like away from comic
roles, after all as I said on another thread, who'd have thought that Nick
Lyndhurst could go from playing the most famous plonker in the world <g> to
playing a supremely creepy Uriah Heep? Visually I have to say I think
Atkinson would be perfect for the role.
