The Prince regent by sourbugger
The BBC comedy series 'Blackadder the third' was based around Blackadder (Rowan Atkinson) and his sidekick Baldrick serving the idiotic Prince George: "described by almost everyone as a fat, flatulent git".The son of the mad George III, the role (played by Hugh Lawrie) mimics the real life George who reigned as regent before his fathers death in 1820 - owning to the fact that his father thought he was a large tub of begonia most of the time.
As regent, he was given over to massive self-indulgence. It is this period that the real-life prince was intimately associated with Brighton. He built the Brighton Pavillion, and could pursue his 'aesthetic' tastes there. What happens in Brighton stays in Brighton !
Get it out on DVD, it's one of the funniest series you will ever watch.
