WHYY Late Night

Blackadder: Back and Forth Lord Edmund Blackadder (Rowan Atkinson) and his scruffy servant Baldrick are inadvertently catapulted on a journey in a homemade time machine in this Blackadder special, hilariously altering history as they pass through the ages. The behind-the-scenes documentary "Baldrick's Diary" features a look at the making of the program, cast interviews and "best of" clips from this darkly humorous Britcom.

American History 101 Patriotism has hit an all-time high in the United States, but how much do Americans really know about the history of their own country? Two WHYY Home College Service programs provide a refresher course:

The American Adventure (Tuesdays at 4 a.m.) weaves together events, places, people, art and artifacts to bring to life the conflicts and consequences of our nation's early history, while presenting America's human, political and economic stories.

American in Perspective (Fridays at 4 a.m.) focuses on the development of the U.S. since 1877, chronologically analyzing the people, events and forces that made America what it is today.

Bob Marley: Rebel Music One of the most influential artists of the second half of the 20th century, Jamaican musician Bob Marley became the voice of a country and an ambassador for peace and racial harmony throughout the world. This American Masters celebrates the life of the late reggae superstar with rare performance footage, Marley's own home movies and interviews with family and fellow musicians.
