Blackadder crew said that the final scene was filmed in the dark and they've all said it was the most frightening thing they've ever done, when the directors said right lads let's do another take they all went to Rowan Atkinson to say no so him being the nominated spokesperson got on the mic and said "not a chance, we're not doing that again". Beautiful scene, well shot and well handled on such a sombre topic
Also this scene was intended to be at normal speed but it just didn't seem right to them so they slowed it down and created one of the most emotional scenes ever filmed
In a documentary about the making of Blackadder Goes Forth it was revealed that it was actually an engineer assisting with the final cut that had the idea of slowing it down and bleeding into the modern day poppy field. I must have seen it about ten times now and it still brings a lump to my throat.
Piers Morgan didn’t quit live on air.He stormed out after a spat with the weatherman but came back later to finish the programme.He quit after he was asked after the programme to apologise and he refused.
It still gives me chills seeing Susan Boyle singing and Simon Cowell just being entranced by her voice 😊 It gives me hope that my 47 year old self still has a lot to do in this life! Take care! ❤
@@JennA-uf6lo LOL! That’s exactly what I mean! It reminds me of watching Looney Tunes cartoons when I was a kid and Bugs Bunny (or whatever character) would start floating in the air, with his head surrounded by hearts 🥰 Thanks! And I have GOT to start using that term more: twitterpated! Love it!
He didn't die on stage, he was pronounced dead later on arrival at hospital. The heart attack that led to his death was live on tv. I saw it too as a child.
Prince Andrew's interview DID NOT shock the world. Instead it gave us so much comedic relief to see someone in his role squirming as they struggle to dig themselves out of the hole they dug themselves into.
I'm surprised you didn't include the end of the Doctor Who episode "The Stolen Earth", with the 10th Doctor David Tennant. To all appearances, he starts to regenerate at the end -- and nobody knew about it. I heard news media were freaked along with the public, since a new Doctor is always announced well in advance of the current one leaving, and nothing had been said.
Surprised you didn’t consider the most historical surprise on UK television…that time when a BBC announcer said that the airwaves were going to close down and were closed for a total of five years. Happened on 1 September 1939
Still remember watching the Susan Boyle thing when it aired, on MSN messenger with my mates, we were all watching, having banter, saw her come out, quietly thinking "Here's another crazy cat lady", then she starts singing and was blown away, then next thing the video goes viral, fastest viewed UA-cam video ever at the time, hit a million views in 24 hours, that was unheard of back then.
David Cameron reminded me of South Park. "Terrence why would you call me a pig f-cker?" "Well let's see, first of all... you f-ck pigs." (short pause) "Oh yeah"

Piers storming off like a baby wasn't shocking, this is the same creature who ran off to America to avoid charges for phone hacking, particularly that of a kid kidnapped and murdered child.
14:03 it was shortly after he won pop idol that will young shocked us all by saying that he is gay and since then he hasn’t told everyone about his relationship with someone
Fun fact about the Gareth Gates, and Will Young both having solid careers. It was because of this, that the competitions started having insane exclusivity clauses in the contestant application form. You have to sign an agreement that even if you don't win, you are signed to their record label on an exclusive basis for something like 5 years. Which is long enough for any residual 15 minutes of fame from the show to prop up a career.
Why? Piers Morgan was of course made a wrong decision by leaving the show that day but his argument was completely correct Meghan is a woke virtue signaling hypocrite who just tries to claim victimhood from everything. Piers Morgan is still with good morning Britain im pretty sure anyway
Oh yea I looked it up he has still permanently left but u can’t have a far right person with a woke person on the same show pretending to atleast agree with each other a little bit it doesn’t work
Tommy Cooper's death sounds lime what happened to Redd Foxx. He was recording his tv show and was having a heart attack. Butm,because he played Fred Sanford and that was part of his thing...pplthought he was having a joke. It was no joke... He was having a massive coronary.
If Prince Andrew had just kept his head down about the whole Epstein affair it would’ve gone away and his image wouldn’t be too badly tarnished. But instead he decided to tell his own side of the story in an interview that was nothing more than a massive car crash. He couldn’t have looked more guilty than if he’d tried and it rocked the monarchy on the same scale as Diana’s interview on Panorama. Can’t sweat because he got an overdose of adrenaline when he was shot at in the Falklands? Never heard that one before, but I bet he’s sweating now.
@jimdeadlock I absolutely loved Julian Clary when I was young, like when I was a girl! I just thought his delivery was so uniquely savagely hilarious! My late dad brought me up on Bottom, Black Adder (I met Rowan Atkinson when I was a little girl, he was lovely!) Freddy Starr, and Tommy Cooper! I used to wear a Fezz all the time as a little girl! 😂
@WatchMojoUK do you watch back your videos and sense check them before publishing? Or even having an editor to review the scripts before the videos are made. Quite a few errors here.
I think Morgan was kind of in love with Meghan Markle because he’d watched Suits, was a fan & when she came over to U.K. met her in his local pub. He gushed over how beautiful she was, how his locals’ eyes were on stalks. I can only assume love turned to hate when she married Harry??????
Alas, Jemini aren't the only UK act to score "nul points" at the Eurovision Song Contest. In 2021 James Newman joined them after failing to score any points from the public and the national juries of the other 38 countries.
@@kimwhiting5599 During the bit about Jemini, the narrator says it was the only time the UK scored nothing, yet a few minutes later he's referencing James Newman's "nul points" in 2021!
The interview with Princess Diana was arguably the start of the domino effect that led to her tragic, untimely death and I truly believe bashir should be in jail for the way in which he procured that interview.
Not sweating wasn’t his only problem in this interview, watch as Princess andrew starts up with a bad stammering ( funny how this wasn’t ever a problem before), then watch how guilty plays on a mind as he chooses his words carefully.
Didn't we get No Points before Sam Ryder I swear we did I remember it as the Italians did Coke and our guy was there for shits and giggles as he drank a Can of Beer looked like Carling when got 0 points
OK, I'll bite... 2003 isn't the only time UK scored 0 in Eurovision.. 2021 called, they want their double 0 back and I'm surprised you missed that when researching... But then go on to reference it during the Sam Ryder section..
Used to watch skins way back when I was in school and even tho they hired real teen cast and showed some stuff. That was unfortunately the reality of teens and still is today, it was close to realistic even tho yes they could’ve hired actual adults. Same with shameless, they’re basically both about real things that happen in the UK.
Well you managed to skip countless more divisive events: Ghost Watch, the Brass Eye Special (or any episode of Brass Eye), The BBC News nude broadcast interruption, any number of @OfficialDerrenBrown's tricks (which also includes Sherlock) et cetera et cetera.
Pop Idol wasn't really that shocking was it? I mean, both were solid talents, and they had massive careers post, so.... And yeah, Sam Ryder did well, and I really thought that this may be the start for change for the UK in Eurovision, and then along came 2023....
13:44 - Pop Idol - ‘one of the earliest National talent shows….’ ! Are you having a laugh ?! New Faces started on television in 1973 and Opportunity Knocks started on BBC radio in 1949 initially, moving to television on 20 June 1956.

The Black Mirror episode was pure class and the Cameron stuff made it even better
you are probably a torie voter
Blackadder crew said that the final scene was filmed in the dark and they've all said it was the most frightening thing they've ever done, when the directors said right lads let's do another take they all went to Rowan Atkinson to say no so him being the nominated spokesperson got on the mic and said "not a chance, we're not doing that again". Beautiful scene, well shot and well handled on such a sombre topic
I still get teary every time
Probably because the explosions were closer than expected, you even seen Rowan getting covered from one.
Also this scene was intended to be at normal speed but it just didn't seem right to them so they slowed it down and created one of the most emotional scenes ever filmed
In a documentary about the making of Blackadder Goes Forth it was revealed that it was actually an engineer assisting with the final cut that had the idea of slowing it down and bleeding into the modern day poppy field.
I must have seen it about ten times now and it still brings a lump to my throat.
Lol ok
"Over the top" Will always be an episode of Blackadder that makes me cry, even years later.
Piers Morgan didn’t quit live on air.He stormed out after a spat with the weatherman but came back later to finish the programme.He quit after he was asked after the programme to apologise and he refused.
He refused because Piers Morgan is a dickhead loser.
Good riddance
Best thing that could have happened to the most self centered man on the box
He can dish it out but can't take it. He's a punk and The british deserve better from their newscasters
HE WALKED OFF BECAUSE HE DIDN'T GET HIS OWN WAY AND GOT CHALLENGED LITTLE BABY 😢😢
It still gives me chills seeing Susan Boyle singing and Simon Cowell just being entranced by her voice 😊
It gives me hope that my 47 year old self still has a lot to do in this life!
Take care! ❤
Simon wasn't entranced, he was thinking ker-ching.
I was, literally, thinking the exact same thing. Chills all over. Hell, even tears tbh. LOL
That moment when he gives that sigh and twitterpated smile just kills me every time.
@@JennA-uf6lo LOL! That’s exactly what I mean! It reminds me of watching Looney Tunes cartoons when I was a kid and Bugs Bunny (or whatever character) would start floating in the air, with his head surrounded by hearts 🥰 Thanks! And I have GOT to start using that term more: twitterpated! Love it!
I remember watching Tommy Cooper passing away live on TV when I was a kid.
So do I. I remember wondering what happened. Then the news broke a short time later. It was so sad Tommy was a great comedian.
He didn't die on stage, he was pronounced dead later on arrival at hospital. The heart attack that led to his death was live on tv. I saw it too as a child.
Me too. I realised something was badly wrong with Tommy and couldn't understand why people were still laughing. Tbh, I found it quite distressing.
Yes we were watching it too so weird to have seen it on live tv - although he died doing something he loved

That was great 😂
nah i had River was Jenny (the doctors daughter) so finding out she was melody
what about del boy falling through the bar in only fools and horses
I love how the UK doing awfully at Eurovision is ranked as more shocking than a man dying on live TV.
Personally, I think the UK's good result from 2022 is more shocking than the other recent results.
Hang on sadly in Eurovision Song Contest in 2003 wasn’t the only time we got nil points we also got it for embers by James Newman in 2021
They do say that later when there’s another Eurovision bit. Weird that they didn’t acknowledge it first but then did though
@tiggyt2261 well 2003 was probably more embarrassing than 2021
2003 was the first time though..
And quite a shock since a pop nation such as UK rarely did bad
lol yeah, I got so pissed when they neglected to acknowledge 2021, only for them to mention him a few minutes later.

To talk over the Blackadder over the top scene seems disrespectful!
if I were a shareholder of Pizza Express I'd be very upset that the brand will forever be associated with Prince Andrew....
6:20... what's crazy is within 6 weeks Eric Morecambe would pass away too, collapsing in the wings of a theater after doing six curtain calls.
"Dogs Might Fly" was ranked top of a now-deleted WatchMojo list about some of the least successful UK TV series!
Excuse my skepticism, is it not just remote controlled?
3:49 'Phil's very strange indeed ' is what i thought i heard. Holly finally speaking the truth
Great video , that blackadder ending one of the sadest heartfelt and perfect ensigns to a TV show

Piers morgan & jeremy clarkson on the top. Why am i not surprised
So Jerry Springer the opera caused complaints but the actual Jerry Springer show was on British TV for YEARS and it was just dandy
The Phillip Schofield-resignation was mentioned in Denmark too. Though I am pretty sure it would be considered a private matter there.
14:03 it was shortly after he won pop idol that will young shocked us all by saying that he is gay and since then he hasn’t told everyone about his relationship with someone
The most tragic thing here is that after resigning Piers Morgan came back onto tv
Well yeah, but it’s a bullshit right wing channel that only losers watch
Fun fact about the Gareth Gates, and Will Young both having solid careers. It was because of this, that the competitions started having insane exclusivity clauses in the contestant application form.

Jerry Spinger the Opera is absoulte brilliance!
Ah Britain, the only country that would make dogs fly an airplane.
i mean the dog did surprisingly well. i'm just shocked it wasn't a pig.
Only country?
Have you seen some of the lady pilots in the USAF?
you don't know what happens to dogs in China and Korea then ? 🍽️😂
I love dogs, but there is no way in hell I would be in a plane with them.

Why
Why? Piers Morgan was of course made a wrong decision by leaving the show that day but his argument was completely correct Meghan is a woke virtue signaling hypocrite who just tries to claim victimhood from everything. Piers Morgan is still with good morning Britain im pretty sure anyway

I like Piers
I remember a programme on the BBC called "Kill it, cook it, eat it" that at the time was really controversial
Blackadder was ruined by my English teacher when I was in year 10. We dissected the last episode to an inch of its life
My English class did it with the godfather 😢
Fact here about Gareth Gates, he does theatre these days
11:27 the UK also got null points in 2021 - which is also the only time a country got no points from both the national juries and the televote
It's Rory 'Kinn - Ear'..........the son of the very funny Roy Kinnear who passed away at 54 years old
I know it's not TV but I remember DLT on his weekend show quitting on radio 1.
The Susan Boyle moment is the only one of these I've actually heard of
"We won't show because it is disturbing"... well, that is the reason we are watching it
8:30 - Who the hell is Jeremy Epstein? How do you mess that up?
18:07 AND PIERS WAS RIGHT!!!
This is like every week on WWF during the Attitude era
Prince Andrew's involvement in the 'Jeremy' Epstein scandal?
It was the religion thing that got the Jerry Springer opera in trouble.
who cares religion is evil.
“From Ley Miz.”
You didn’t actually say it like that right? Bloody hell that was an horrific sentence mate.
The Nil Points for the United Kingdom at Eurovision happened again in 2021.
Pmsl, I’m still not over Holly acting like a major national disaster happened. Plus, we all know she knew!
"2003 is the ONLY time the UK ever got absolute null points"
few minutes later
"Except that one other time in 2021"
10:25 that’s why naked attraction can contain nudity and people being naked and it can be very embarrassing for some of us me including to watch
You should watch Lee Mack's pilot show 3x3, it was mind-blowing.
Tommy Cooper's death sounds lime what happened to Redd Foxx. He was recording his tv show and was having a heart attack. Butm,because he played Fred Sanford and that was part of his thing...pplthought he was having a joke. It was no joke... He was having a massive coronary.

we also recieved nul points in 2021 when James Newman represented us

Julian Clary, and Mark Lamaar, way ahead of their time!
It's hard to explain to people who didn't see Clary live that day, it was so unexpected and hilarious, delivered totally deadpan, absolute legend!
@jimdeadlock I absolutely loved Julian Clary when I was young, like when I was a girl! I just thought his delivery was so uniquely savagely hilarious!

Lightning shocks the world every day. 😆 🌩️
It was an outrage that they did that to Julian.
Well you forgot the final scene of Blake 7 and Jarvis Cocker’s stage invasion of Michael Jackson, which tops the lot.
I remember watching the last episode of Bllake"s 7
wow princess Di was just something else hey? never again will there be someone like her

Shocking for the UK to get zero points in Eurovision. Meanwhile, Norway is not impressed 😂
American here. We would have a very different looking list. Sadly
Not sweating wasn’t his only problem in this interview, watch as Princess andrew starts up with a bad stammering ( funny how this wasn’t ever a problem before), then watch how guilty plays on a mind as he chooses his words carefully.
Why is this dog still flying a plane.
Why hasnt their been a eurovision inquiry on gemani were they have their case done.
Whats wrong with Will young winning pop idol? I mean michaell winning was a shock cause sam and mark became successful on Children tv.
Skins and the trauma it gave the young actors is the reason most shows have adults playing teenagers in those kind of roles.
So many of us shouldn't of been exposed to Skins. I remember getting drunk for the first time to cope with what I watched 😂
Compared a dog to a two year old is the dumbest thing I heard today lol a 2 year old can't protect cops or be in the army to find bombs😂😂
The fact nothing weird as fuck that happened on big brother is on this list shocks me.
Five seconds of the narrator was enough. Went!
How isn't the Celebrity Big Brother Race Scandal with Jade Goody not here. I was assuming it would Top 3
Shocked the world? Most of this I never heard of in Germany.
Didn't we get No Points before Sam Ryder I swear we did I remember it as the Italians did Coke and our guy was there for shits and giggles as he drank a Can of Beer looked like Carling when got 0 points
