Tim Mcinnerny


Which character/s did Tim Mcinnerny play in the third episode. I know he played the french guy/scarlet pimpernel and the other guy earlier in the episode in the room with Hugh Laurie and someone else. But did he play anyone else? Was he the executioner woman/someone I forgot?

reply

He was Lord Topper (one of the men early in the episode who is enamored of the Scrlet Pimpernel's escapades)

And he was the Count de FrouFrou (sp?), the Frenchman Blackadder meets at Mrs. Miggins' coffee house who turns out to be the Scarlet Pimpernel in disguise. So you could say he was three characters: Topper, Froufrou, and Pimpernel.

reply

Though they were all the same person
He played the scarlet pimpernel disguised as froufrou and topper.

Indeed!

This is one of my favorite episodes, second only to the election episode with Pitt-the-Younger.

Yeah, great episode. I was a little disappointed that Tim wasn't in this season, but the episode was really satisfying.

You bet! I think I'm going to have to watch again it over the weekend.
