The best Blackadder series

Marianthi from London, England, 12th January, 2004

'Blackadder' is for me the best British sitcome ever (OK, 'Fawlty Towers' is a very close second!). It's just hilarious and this is the best series. Edmund Blackadder is the manservant of an amazingly stupid Prince George (Hugh Laurie at his very comic best). To me, the episode with Dr Johnson's dictionary (I think it's 'Ink and Incapability') and the dream Edmund has while re-writing is one of the funniest moments in TV history. Highly recommendinatious!

Blackadder 3 in my opinion is without doubt the best of the four. Rowan Atkinson is hilarious ? Blackadder is one of his finest hours and he fits the character perfectly. Tony Robinson is cursed forever to be remembered for Baldrick (no matter how many Time Teams he does) and he is brilliant in a thankless role. Hugh Laurie is superb as the stupid Prince and brings inbred stupidity to life! But each episode is also underpinned by a wealth of talent including Helen Atkinson Wood, Robbie Coltrane, Chris Barrie, Ben Elton, Stephen Fry etc. The casting is great and the script is just pure perfection.

Fantastic!!!!

David Boutcher from Bournemouth, 19th January, 2005

An excellent series to sit back and giggle at all night. Brought back some good memories of watching it some ten years ago. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

The more you watch this the more you appreciate how well Tony Robinson and Rowen Atkinson bounce off one another

Regency Triumph

A Customer from Sussex, 18th April, 2010

Series three was where it all came together into a really great comic feast sustained throughout at a consistently high level of wit, verbal and visual. Hilariously funny from beginning to end.

Greatest British comedy of all time

A Customer from glasgow, 17th March, 2010

This is one of those comedys that everyone should see. It's an absolute classic and every episode had me howling with laughter. The dialogue between Rowan Atkinson and Hugh Lawrie is some of the funniest writing in the history of british comedy. But what I loved most was the cameo roles, especially Stephen Fry as Lord Wellington.
