Rowan Atkinson will never revive Blackadder because "the only motivation would be money"
The 70-year-old actor starred in four series of the hit historical comedy between 1983 and 1989, and Atkinson has now insisted a revival is out of the question because even a hefty pay cheque would not be enough to lure him back because he doesn't see the "point" in a revival.

He told The Times newspaper: "[It would be] tricky [to bring it back]. And what's the point? You'd just be desperately trying to reproduce the success of what you'd done decades ago. You're on a hiding to nothing. The only motivation would be money. But I don't think that would bring me into the fold."
