Stephen Fry 'Goes Forth' in Colchester
Stephen Fry is one of our greatest national treasures, and in the 1980s he was part of the Blackadder ensemble, appearing in many episodes of the Âé¶¹Éç sitcom.
But did you know the opening and closing titles of the final series, set in the trenches of World War One, were filmed at the Calvary Barracks in Colchester.
Stephen has been reminiscing about this with Âé¶¹Éç Essex presenter Akylah Rodriguez.
