i saw blackadder at the millenium dome, i was too young to appreciate it.

[delboy]

i have a cunning plan... wonderful stuff!

and i'd agree with the order of the series an all.

[Guest Bob Double Jack]

1: Blackadder 2

2: Blackadder Goes Forth

3: Blackadder the Third

4: (and only because it is the only space left) - The Black Adder (which was rubbish)

Even if Blackadder Back and Forth was the only series, i would not even rate it above a blank space. a feeble end to a great british institution. typical fucking sky

[Camie]

1)Blackadder 2nd

2)Blackadder Goes Fourth

3)Blackadder 3rd

4)Blackadder

Every character in that show was brilliant, even the guest stars.

I never seen Blackadder Back and Forth(thankfully!), although I wouldn't include it as it was pretty much ended by Blackadder Goes Fourth when Blackadder died.

It's good to see that a couple of other people rate te 3rd series as highly as I do.

Hugh Laurie is superb as the Prince Regent.

Any show that has Rowan Atkinson, Stephen Fry, Hugh Laurie and Tony Robinson in it couldn't possibly be bad.

[Guest Jake Wifebeater]

The dictionary episode in series 3 has to be the funniest of all Blackadder episodes, especially the bit where he gratuitously throws in all the long words. Genius.

[Frosty Jack]

Am I the only person that didn't really like any of them? Except maybe some of Queenie's scenes, but generally it just annoyed me. Sorry.

...with cameos from chris barrie and rik mayall aswell! I can't think of any other historically-themed sitcom as good as blackadder. The final series was taking a bit too close to modern times though, it lost some of it's appeal for me at that stage.

Agreed. The 4th series, although still excellent, lost some of the 2nd and 3rd's magic...

[Jimmygoodein]

1) blackadder 2

2) blackadder 3

3) blackadder 4

4) blackadder

i think every series is great in its own way, hard to put in order. Even though The first Blackadder isnt really the best it has some uber funny moments esp. the Black Seal.

[Sam the Eagle]

this is really strange, i bought the entire collection t'other day too, i've gome to the conclusion though that i totally have to be in the mood for blackadder otherwise i'll just not enjoy it. I can sit here and chorttle until my sides are sore for laughing, or i can sit there and think what the fuck is this...

however

blackadder the third

blackadder goes fourth

blackadder ii

the blackadder

i've also got a special place in my heart for blackadder's christmas carol

Chris Barrie?

Which season?

Rik Mayal and Adrian Edmondson were hilarious when they appeared.

[Guest DustyDeviada]

1) blackadder 2

2) blackadder 3

3) blackadder 4

4) blackadder

Ding ding, we have a winner.

The first series was good too though, "The Jumping Jew of Jerusalem", class stuff. Performances from Peter Cook and Brian Blessed too.

The Christmas special was good as well, as was the one they did for Comic Relief with Steven Fry sending up Prince Charles.

Blackadder died at the end of every series, it's just that in Blackadder Goes Forth the finale (i.e. the death scene) was portrayed in a more "real" sense and not for laughs.

The first series was a bit shit but it did explain the premise.

you sure?

how did he die in Blackadder II and III? dont remember it

[Guest Bob]

In Blackadder II he is murdered along with every other character, and thinking about it, the only series he doesn't die in is series III.

At the end of series II the murderer (I can't remember who - was it Hugh Lawrie?) assumes the indentity of Queen Elizabeth, which would make sense in the world of Blackadder since his descendant is Prince Regent in III.

[Guest Jake Wifebeater]

Chris Barrie?

Which season?

Series 3 mate, the Scarlet Pimpernel episode. He plays a revolutionary.

[Guest Bob]

Series 3 mate' date=' the Scarlet Pimpernel episode. He plays a revolutionary.[/quote']

No, I cannot do that. For I am an evil revolutionary and have killed the ambassador and have turned him into pate.

[Guest Jake Wifebeater]

Indeed, that's the one.

[Jimmygoodein]

a great episode from the first series was when blackadder was tried for being a witch.

"is the sun of satan in this court?" - and the camera pans past the audiance and past the devil. rofl, so simple, so good

Technically Blackadder does die at the end of series 3, he swaps places with Hugh Lawrie, and Hugh Lawrie (who is now Blackadder), gets shot by Wellington. Blackadder is then accepted by "mad" King George: "for the first time in my life I have a real fatherly feeling towards you, people say I am mad and say the word penguin after every sentence, but together we will rule the world, you as Prince Regent, and I as King penguin."

Aye, it was Hugh Lawrie who killed everyone at the end of series two, playing a German bloke, can't remember the name, but that also ties in with King George being German.

Prince Ludwig, I think.

And they must have filmed two endings, on my copy, Blackadder stabs him while Ludwig is disguised as a cow.
