KATE'S ADDER MOVIE OFFER
Model Kate Moss will star as Maid Marion in a film version of hit comedy Blackadder- made specially to be shown in the Millennium Dome. Kate, 25, will appear with Comic Rik Mayall as Robin Hood and regulars Rowan Atkinson and Tony Robinson. An insider said "We're chuffed to get here". The film which takes a hilarious look at British history, will be screened free in the Dome's BSkyB- backed Skyscape.
BLACK SKY HITS BEEB
SKY Television has scooped the rights to screen the Blackadder movie before the BBC. The Beeb, which showed the original four series, was sidelined by a £4 million deal. And jubilant bosses at the satellite giant last night announced viewers would see Time For Blackadder in 2001. It reunites Rowan Atkinson and Tony Robinson as they travel through history in Balderick's time machine. Stephen Fry, Hugh Laurie and Rik Mayall are among the other stars. The film, written by Ben Elton and Notting Hill creator Richard Curtis, will Premiere at the Millennium Dome. A Beeb spokeswoman said that they will screen the film- but after Sky.
