1. You guys were right. I just went downstairs and found Bunny inside the walls of Fort Bunsworth. Damn and blast! Now I'm going to have to figure out a way of strengthening the defences.

2. It's nice to be able to report that Blackadder II is still very, very funny. What would it cost to assemble that cast today? And, on a sadly quizzical note, whatever happened to Rowan Atkinson? There he was, arguably the funniest man in the English speaking world- and what has he done since?

Johnny English? well yes, quite...

3. I love Rome, but does anybody else? There was a piece in the Guardian this morning calling it a turkey and castigating the BBC for wasting the licence-payers' money. And this seems to be the general opinion. Could I be wrong? No, I don't see how that could possibly be- my critical acumen and good taste are legendary.

Hello, visiting from the_red_shoes's journal...Rowan Atkinson had a very funny small character role in the film Love Actually a year or two ago.

And nothing can foil a determined bunny. I think small furry animals determined to get at something might in fact have been responsible for the Big Bang.

Your theory is at least as convincing as the account in Genesis.

The thing is he hasn't done anything big for years. He's had small roles here and there and done the odd TV sitcom but Blackadder remains his career high.

He's a very funny guy. I'd love to see him live up to his talent.

Yes, my husband and I would like to see more of him as well. He has astounding comedic timing.

He's the most gifted British comedian of his generation, arguably the most gifted of the last 50 years. We don't see enough of him.
