The cast of historical sitcom Blackadder will reunite for a one-off documentary this Christmas, the BBC has announced.

Blackadder Rides Again will feature an extensive interview with star Rowan Atkinson, who portrayed four different incarnations of Edmund Blackadder spanning 500 years of British history.

Blackadder cast members Stephen Fry, Hugh Laurie, Miranda Richardson and Tony Robinson will also contribute to the special.

"We are extremely excited to have persuaded the entire creative team behind this iconic sitcom to appear in the same show for the very first time since they all worked together," said executive producer Ricky Kelehar.

Atkinson previously turned down the chance to reteam with the Blackadder cast for a UKTV Gold special.
