SYNOPSIS

Co-written by Ben Elton and Richard Curtis, the phenomenal Blackadder traces the deeply cynical lineage of various self-serving Edmund Blackadders from the muck of the Middle Ages to the frontline of World War I. The series includes some of the biggest names in British comedy including Rowan Atkinson, Stephen Fry, Hugh Laurie, Tony Robinson, Rik Mayall, Adrian Edmondson and Miranda Richardson.

The Blackadder. In this groundbreaking first series Rowan Atkinson introduces the snivelling worm, Edmund, Duke of Edinburgh (alias The Blackadder) as he emerges from the dust of dodgy documents to claim his wrongful position in history. Among tales of royal de-thronings, Black Death, witch-smellers (who root out spell-makers with their noses), and ghosts, the villainous and cowardly Edmund is a perennial survivor who never quite gets ahead. Includes all 6 episodes.
