- Blackadder also featured Brian Blessed as King Richard IV, Tom Baker, Stephen Fry and Simon Jones. The Christmas special Blackadder's Christmas Carol featured Miriam Margolyes and Jim Broadbent, both of whom had played other roles in the television series, appearing respectively as Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, as well as Nicola Bryant as Ebenezer Blackadder's goddaughter, Millicent.

- In All I Want for Christmas is Who, an article in DWM 585, Matt Smith was quoted comparing the dynamic of the Eleventh Doctor and Strax to Blackadder and Baldrick.
- An iron maiden prop used in the Blackadder episode Born to Be King would later be featured in The King's Demons as the Master's (disguised) TARDIS. This has given rise to a wider fan theory which states that many of the sets featured in The Black Adder and The King's Demons are one and the same, though this remains unconfirmed.
