Black Adder. Comments, please, on the Black Adder series from the BBC. Your opinions and observations are...?

Question

This is among my very favorite television productions, but I wonder what other people think about it. All comments are welcome, be they positive, negative, or cunning, as in plans.

Answer 1

I love Blackadder - I think it's definitely one of the funniest things ever shown on TV.  I thought the ditzy Elizabeth I from Blackadder II was hilarious and the idiot Prince Regent from Blackadder III was one of my favourite characters.  I thought the character of Edmund Blackadder in the first season was very funny as he was absolutely clueless but in the 2nd, 3rd & 4th seasons his really sarcastic wit was even funnier.

I loved the episode in Blackadder the Third (I think it was called 'Ink & Incapability') when Doctor Johnson had just completed his dictionary and Blackadder met Byron, Shelley & Keats in the coffee shop and they were all just off their heads and languishing about pretending to be very clever but really they were just absolute fools.
