Alternate Series of Blackadder

Wasn't there actually a Cromwellian Black Adder done? It was a stage thing for charity, I think. Just a short sketch.

Blackadder: The Cavalier Years, yes.

Meadow is right about this. Hugh Laurie is a good enough actor to portray pretty much anyone, but trying to get him to portray Cromwell of all people is a pointless waste of his talents.
 
I always thought the 1930's would be a good setting with Blackadder as a undercover special Branch agent who ends up as a major player in a fictional communist party and a fictional Fascist party.

That could work, though of course it would be hard to see Fry and Laurie as anything other than Jeeves and Wooster...maybe they could be thinly disguised versions of those characters...
