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 ...
...contains a diffrent picture of Blackadder with accompanying witty text for each dvd.

You're sendin' me to hell? *****WHAT IS "DEAD LIKE ME"?***** It must suck being killed when you're only eighteen and have done precisely nothing with your life up until that moment. It must suck further when your killer is a flaming toilet seat falling from space. And that you need to suffer the indignity ...

The theme tune, 'Half the world away' written and sung by Manchester band Oasis. It was such a simple setting for the sitcom but it worked so well with so little surroundings.
