Brilliant comedy from some of the smartest and funniest minds of Great Britian.

The first of the four Blackadders series, which chronicle various members of the Blackadder family throughout history.

This series, set just after the War of the Roses, is very funny and includes several excellent British character actors in supporting roles.

Rowan Atkinson's Blackadder character, is a manic buffoon, in this series, as opposed to the sardonic, sarcastic wit he plays in the three succeeding series.
