John Potts March 31, 2018 Share March 31, 2018 The running theme of Blackadder was how the titular character changed over the centuries, so here's a Blackrattler for four time periods: Blackrattler the Coloniser - When John White leaves the colony of Roanoke, he leaves it in the hands of his "trustworthy" deputy, Edmund Blackrattler. Each week he hatches a new scheme to improve the lot of the colony which all fail because he was too busy seducing the local ladies. Ultimately the entire colony is lost [History!] Blackrattler the Rebel - Loyalties are divided as the colonies rise in rebellion. Edmund Blackrattler is attache to General Thomas Gage, but when he realises that the woman he's seduced is none other than George Washington's old love, Sally Fairfax, who attempts to persuade him to spy for the Revolution. Can Blackrattler keep his honour in tact? And more importantly, can he get through the Revolution without seeing active service or being shot by either side? Blackrattler the Bootlegger - Ed Blackrattler is a shipper for the North Side Gang who was trying to cover up the fact that he'd missed collection of a booze shipment in the 1929 when his boss is unexpectedly killed in the St Valentine's Day Massacre. Suddenly, he is sitting on a fortune in alcohol, but no gang. Can he survive Al Capone's ruthless gangsters while making his own fortune? Blackrattler dot com - In the fast paced dot com boom, Eddie Blackrattler can see there is a fortune to be made in computers. If only he knew anything about them. Undeterred, he sets up his own web company and sets about convincing investors that there's money to be made in whatever online scheme he can imagine that week. Can Eddie get his money out before the investors catch or and/or the bottom falls out of the market?
