Blackadder: P Pilot 1 The Foretelling 2 Born to Be King 3 The Archbishop 4 The Queen of Spain's Beard 5 Witchsmeller Pursuivant 6 The Black Seal Review: The classic first series of BlackAdder was slightly different to its successors--Ben Elton was not yet part of the writing team, and Shakespearean parody featured prominently. Rowan Atkinson was at his best as a would-be Machiavellian medieval intriguer while Brian Blessed plays his gloriously over the top blustering militarist father. Blackadder II: 7 Bells 8 Head 9 Potato 10 Money 11 Beer 12 Chains Review: Although now regarded as the opening salvo of a classic series. On the writing front, Richard Curtis was joined by Ben Elton, while the expensive War of the Roses-era sets were replaced by cosier Elizabethan ones. And Rowan Atkinson's eponymous character now emerged as the familiar Machiavellian fiend which would cement Atkinson's place in the pantheon of great British sitcom actors. Blackadder The Third: 13 Dish and Dishonesty 14 Ink and Incapability 15 Nob and Nobility 16 Sense and Senility 17 Amy and Amiability 18 Duel and Duality Sp A Blackadder's Christmas Carol Sp The Cavalier Years Review: Rowan Atkinson's irredeemably wicked Edmund Blackadder has moved forward in time from the court of Queen Elizabeth but a little down the social ladder. He's now butler to Hugh Laurie's congenitally stupid Prince Regent on the cusp of the 18th and 19th centuries, and if that wasn't bad enough he's still accompanied by Tony Robinson's dim-witted Baldrick, whose cunning plans never fail to make an impossible situation worse. Blackadder's desperate scheming and utter contempt for all he surveys hasn't changed, nor have the baroque complexities of the situations in which he becomes embroiled: from an anachronistic war of words with Dr Johnson (Robbie Coltrane relishing every syllable) to taking on the Scarlet Pimpernel at his own game, to fighting a duel with a psychopathic Duke of Wellington, Edmund's luck never seems to change. Blackadder Goes Forth: 21 Plan A: Captain Cook 22 Plan B: Corporal Punishment 23 Plan C: Major Star 24 Plan D: Private Plane 25 Plan E: General Hospital 26 Plan F: Goodbyeee Sp (A Royal Birthday Celebration) Sp Blackadder Back & Forth Review: The final Blackadder series, which first appeared in 1990, was the most highly evolved of all of the Richard Curtis/Ben Elton-scripted excursions. Having contrived to attain the Crown at the end of the third series, Rowan Atkinson's Edmund Blackadder is now reduced to a mere Captaincy in the trenches during World War I, with these episodes finding him shooting messenger pigeons, grumbling about Charlie Chaplin and unscrupulously evading his patriotic duty to pile over the top and be slaughtered pointlessly. Hugh Laurie plays the upper class silly arse to the hilt while Baldrick's cunniing plans continue. Cast List: Rowan Atkinson ...Prince Edmund, Duke of Edinburgh / Edmund Blackadder Tony Robinson ...
