Blackadder’s Tony Robinson teases Rowan Atkinson WILL appear in reboot in major U-turn
thesun.co.ukBLACKADDER'S Tony Robinson has teased that Rowan Atkinson WILL appear in the reboot in a major U-turn. Earlier this week, Richard Curtis confirmed the iconic comedy will be returning for Comic Relief 2023.
