I bought this on the way to London (”to visit the Queen….”?) I wanted to check out the correspondence between the real Elizabeth and Miranda Richardson’s insane portrayal of her in “Blackadder II.” So far, I have discovered that Liz did indeed have a “Nursey….”
I was able to see the portraits of QEI at the Portrait Gallery in London; that was cool. The Gallery also had portraits of the other characters in the story. Alas, there was no real Edmund Blackadder.
The flight home SPOOKILY featured an episode of “Blackadder II”!!! Ooooo!!!!
