Ben Elton reflects on the cultural impact of his series, stating, 'I think the thing I'm proudest of is how both Young Ones and Blackadder genuinely seeped into language.' His creations, he notes, resonate in everyday English, with specific rhythms and phrases becoming commonplace.
Elton discusses the tension during rehearsals for Blackadder, saying, 'There was a certain tension - an endless sort of deconstructing that tended to be very frustrating.' He describes how cast debates over minute details sometimes overshadowed the original script, complicating the creative process.
