Step into the world of one of Britain’s most iconic comedies! We’re offering you the chance to bid on a rare, lost script from an un-filmed Christmas Special Blackadder in Bethlehem and an original studio script complete with handwritten notes from filming of the unforgettable episode Blackadder Goes Forth: Corporal Punishment, where we see Blackadder in front of a court martial.

This is more than memorabilia - it’s a piece of television history, preserved for true enthusiasts and collectors.

Written in 1988 Blackadder in Bethlehem depicts Blackadder as the owner of the inn where Joseph and Mary seek a bed for the night. Set on 24 December at the Blackadder Inn in Bethlehem, the opening scene features an exchange in the foyer between Blackadder and Baldrick about getting a turkey for the “most important night in the history of this hotel”. The script draft was started in 1988 by Richard Curtis and fellow writer Ben Elton but was abandoned because they feared it might cause too much offence and they had another idea about Blackadder’s Christmas Carol that they wanted to pursue instead. Mr Curtis describes the Christmas special that never was as a “strange mix between Fawlty Towers and the Life of Brian” and finishes by saying: “I hope you enjoy it a bit - but don’t get too excited - for one thing it just stops - it has no end at all!”

The original studio script from Blackadder Goes Forth: Corporal Punishment sees Blackadder face the court martial. An iconic episode loved by all true fans. The script features another long term supporter of Theirworld, Stephen Fry, who Richard Curtis accuses of wonderfully 'over-acting as always'.

Your winning bid will not only secure these extraordinary items but also help support Theirworld, making a lasting impact beyond the screen. All money raised from the winning bid will go directly to our work to give every child the best start in life, a safe place to learn and skills for the future.
