Blackadder- the best British sitcom ever!!

God I love this show! Blackadder has to be the most consistently funny sitcom this country has ever produced. Every series is a masterpiece...who would have thought Ben Elton would have had something to do with it?!

Rowan Atkinson, when given the right material, is a comic genius- every time I revisit this, I am so glad I did. It's such a shame that he is now making shit like Bean and Johnny English...I wish that someone would right something that is worthy of his talents, I hate to see it go to waste.

Opinions please...and favourite moments to be discussed...

Any other fans out there?

Blackadder info...

I agree - it's a hilarious show! Especially the third season, I thought: full of classic lines!

Pitt: "I'll get my brother to run against you!"
Blackadder: "And which Pitt would this be? Pitt The Toddler? Pitt The Foetus? Pitt The Gleam In The Milkman's Eye?"

😂

i saw an episode of blackadder last friday during a brit lit class. it was "corporal punishment" from black adder IV: blackadder goes forth. loved it. got it on dvd now, the ww1. interested in getting the whole series. rowan is so funnie! also, loved how everyone treated and talked to that guy called "darling". 😆

I like the show on Ceebeebies called Come Outside - and THe Blue Cow, On Story Makers

i would like to see that one that takes place in the middle ages. also, borrick was great. slow and smelly, but nevertheless cool. he really can't cook! 😆

blackadder II ws my fave. blackadder doesnt get half the credit it deserves for been a great comedy!

what's the theme in blackadder II?

LOVE JAIME OLIVER

i love this sitcom but none of my friends do for some strange reason don't know if it the best sitcom ever cause you got only fool and horse's, father ted, steptoe and son and many more but its deffinatly up there with the best

i really love black adder, but some of my friends didnt like it because its not "historically correct", wtf?

omfg! 😱 it's a comedy! it's not supposed to be! 😖

It's hard to choose, but I'd say Blackadder II is my fave. I'm always a little let down by the final episode of "Goes Forth" though...it got too serious. I would much rather they had made Edmund, George and Baldrick escape unscathed (and have Gen. Melchitt fumble his way into the front lines, maybe with Captain Darling driving).

well, the creator said that they had to end the series somehow.

yea i know! you tell them that, bloody history students! 😄

no offense intended to any historians out there! 😛

when it comes to comedy, people like that shoud learn not to take things so literal...

i have a cunning plan 😄😂

what are the other themes in the other volumes of blackadder? volume four is world war one and the others...😑

One of the best anyway. Fawlty Towers comes before it in my top 10.

faulty towers is the medival one?
