Baldrick's Bridesmaid Dress
Blackadder II
The dress worn by Sir Tony Robinson as Baldrick in the popular BBC period comedy series Blackadder II. The dress was worn by Baldrick in episode 1 titled Bells when he assumed the role of bridesmaid for the wedding of Edmund Blackadder and ‘Bob’.
The dress has subsequently been altered by adding pearl-like droplets to the front and made to fit a female character, presumably for another (unknown) production.
This costume has been part of this collection since 2018 and is a regular display piece at Shenstone Village Festival having proved to be a popular item.
Born in 1946, British actor Tony Robinson will forever be associated with the loveable dogsbody Baldrick in the ever popular BBC comedy series Blackadder. His talents stretch far beyond that, however. As well as numerous TV acting roles Tony has produced and presented entertaining educational series such as Time Team and Tony Robinson's History of Britain.
Robinson has authored numerous children's books and historical works and was knighted in 2013 for his services to drama and archaeology.
