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?"

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.

ChickinMeat
yea i know! you tell them that, bloody history students! big grin

no offense intended to any historians out there! stick out tongue

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

ChickinMeat

Fawlty Towers is a completely different Britcom.

There are 5 seasons of Black Adder: Dark Ages, Medieval Ages, Romanticism Age (Golden Age), World War 1, and Present Day.

The last series is when Blackaddar and Baldric go back in time and alter their futures: they kill the dinosaurs, kill Robinhood, and alter the battle at Waterloo. Blackadder also punches out Willaim Shakespeare for all the plays future generations will have to endure... in the end Blackadder become King of England.

But the second series is by far the funniest.
