I purchased the complete Blackadder collection for £35 at HMV and it was certainly money well spent. I think the acting and humour is top notch and it features 4 of televisions greatest actors of all time "Stephen Fry, Hugh Laurie, Rowan Atkinson and Tony Robinson). very wry and witty this is a great box set to buy if you want some top quality BBC made entertainment.
However, the entire 4 series only adds up to 14 hours,so i feel that the box set should be a little cheaper as you can buy the entire Jeeves and Wooster collection on the Play.com website for £25 and that amounts to around 18 hours and over 20 episodes. On the whole i was immensely pleased with the product. If you are a fan of the series then this is one boxset you will not want to miss out on.
when regarding the actual product; the boxset that contains the 6 dvs's is made to a good standard with thick high grade card on the outside and inside. which contains a diffrent picture of Blackadder with accompanying witty text for each dvd.
On buying the Blackadder boxset you may assume that you would only get the 4 series but in fact as an added bonus the boxset includes Blackadder's christmas carol and Blackadder back and forth.
The boxset contains no special features disc but i think this was purposefully left out to reduce costs. On the front of the boxset it says special edition but i feel this boxset will be selling at most stores for the forseeable future.

Thanks for letting me know you've updated this. Re-rated for you. It's a shame there are no extras, as they did so much with the show and comedy people can produce the best out-takes of anyone!

I see you've posted this as a DVD review, but you've not mentioned the DVD features. Are there any extras? If so, what are they and are they any good? If you add to this, or if you change it to be posted as a "Film Only" review, which can be done by accessing "edit review" above the review and changing the drop down menu under the "Which format are you reviewing?" question at the bottom, please let me know and I'll re-rate.
