Who am I?
My name is Simon Osborne. I played Pitt the Younger in Blackadder 3 in 1987. It was a week after my 17th birthday, I am now 50.
When I was about to leave school at 16 I was asked what I wanted to do. I replied Comedy, something BBC like Blackadder. Less than a year later that’s just what I was doing.
I had acted before Blackadder and after, but you could say I had achieved my ambition by the time I was 17. However, almost everything I’ve done since that day, acting, my time spent as a Territorial in the British Army, my travels and even my work in heritage and history have all been touched by that week spent working on and filming that episode of Blackadder 3 at BBC studios in London 33 years ago.

- Blackadder: And which Pitt would this be? Pitt the Toddler? Pitt the Embryo? Pitt the Glint in the Milkman's Eye?
- Vincent Hanna: Master William Pitt, the Even Younger, are you disappointed?
- Pitt the Even Younger: Yes I'm horrified. I smeared my opponents, bribed the press to be on my side, and threatened to torture the electorate if we lost. I fail to see what a more decent politician would have done.
- Pitt the Younger: Mr. Speaker, Members of the House, I shall be brief, as I have rather unfortunately become Prime Minister right in the middle of my exams.
- Pitt the Younger: I now call on the Leader of the Opposition to test me on my Latin vocab.
- Prince George: You know, Blackadder, for me socks are like sex. Tons of it about and I never seem to get any.
- Blackadder: Dunny-on-the-Wold is a tuppenny- ha'penny place. Half an acre of sodden marshland in the Suffolk Fens with an empty town hall on it. Population: three rather mangy cows, a dachshund named Colin, and a small hen in its late forties.
- Ivor Biggun: We're for the compulsory serving of asparagus at breakfast, free corsets for the under-5s and the abolition of slavery.
