Prince William and Stephen Fry teamed up for a sketch revisiting beloved British sitcom Blackadder during the BBC’s The Big Night In COVID-19 TV appeal.
The funnyman took on the role of Lord Melchett, a descendant of the characters he played in two series of the historical comedy, hinting that his old nemesis Blackadder and his dogsbody Baldrick – played by Rowan Atkinson and Tony Robinson, respectively, in the 1980s show – were self-isolating with him.
Although Rowan and Tony did not appear, Stephen, as Melchett, made a Zoom video conference call to the British royal, and they chatted about what William has been up to in lockdown.
