Love it! For some reason I don't have the box set of all 4 seasons (though gave it to a friend as a present).

Seasons (or don't they call them series in the UK?) 2 and 3 are my favorites. The supporting players are great, too...Stephen Fry, Miranda Richardson, Hugh Laurie...

Enjoy!

I love this show!

"Couldn't have been worse than what they were doing to each other."

i love this show! I'm british (though live in america) and everyone I have talked to ( at least, almost everyone) have not heard of the show. I love Hugh Laurie! And Stephen Fry. I love Hugh Laurie in House now.

Mine too. Her Queenie in Series Two is masterful.

I love Blackadder! I'd have to second the vote for series 2 & 3 as the best. The first one is probably my least favorite, because I like the smart, sarcastic Edmund better, although the Spanish Infanta episode with Miriam Margolyes is classic. I might have to vote for "Head" from Blackadder II as the funniest single episode (Edmund is the new executioner), but I love series 3 so much because of Hugh Laurie as the Prince Regent. Anyway, yes, Blackadder is great!

Have loved this show FOREVER! You should checkout Black Adder's Christmas Carol!
Another vote for Season two. Miranda Richardson is just too funny.

A classic, believe it or not the fianl episode of Blackadder goes forth (the WW1 series, sorry not sure of the number) is often shown in UK schools as part of history lessons :)

It was the 4th series, hence the name. And I quite believe it is shown in schools. The last shot is astonishingly poignant.

Love Blackadder as well -- especially Blackadder Goes Forth. The whole Darling thing cracks me up every time.

Jeeves and Wooster is another favorite although I don't think they should it on BBCA.

I'm a bit of a Hugh Laurie fan in case you couldn't tell...
