Reply #9: Yep! BlackAdder Xmas Carol

[onager]

With the great Jim Broadbent as The Ghost Of Xmas Past/Present/Future. And series regular Hugh Laurie of "House" as the dunderheaded Prince Of Wales.

Here's a strange thing. I've seen one version of this with the "nail up the dog line" censored. It's a clean and very obvious cut, so it wasn't a glitch in the video or anything.

Pretty bizarre, since they didn't edit out anything else...like this bit:

Edmund: ...So, shall I begin the Christmas story?

Prince: Absolutely. As long as it's not that terribly depressing one about the chap who gets born on Christmas Day, shoots his mouth off about everything under the sun, and then comes a cropper with a couple of rumcoves on top of a hill in jolly Arab-land.

Edmund: You mean...Jesus, Sir?

Prince: Yes, that's the fellow. Keep him out of it -- he always spoils the X-mas atmos.

There just ain't enough ROFLs...

PF: good question! For myself, I guess it's both.
