Why was Blackadder set five hundred years ago?
-
They didn't want to be compared to Fawlty Towers
-
They had always wanted to do a TV show set in medieval times
-
So it would compare favourably to Fawlty Towers
-
The last episode turned out to be quite sad
-
because he was feeling this way at the time they were shooting

because it is set during WWI
-
to avoid the criticism that they were making fun of a very tragic moment
