Cunning Comedy Through The Ages
Review of Blackadder - Complete Blackadder (Limited Edition Box Set) (DVD) by davedave135

Advantages: Everything in one box, and all genius.
Disadvantages: None (Unless you count lack of behind the scenes footage or interviews)

Introduction I should hate Blackadder for one reason; it turned me into the weirdest ten year old imaginable. I was the only one certainly in my class that spoke with a sardonic inflection in my voice and muttered "what ho?" when I saw something surprising. It certainly didn't help me make friends at the time, giving me a strange impulsion to call everyone a cretin and say 'I have a cunning plan' very slowly at the beginning of every other sentence. ...

"I have a cunning plan...."
Review of Blackadder - Complete Blackadder (Limited Edition Box Set) (DVD) by steveking5000

Advantages: Price, Laughter, Acting,
Disadvantages: No Extras,

...order a re-count! I believe Blackadder deserved a lot more as the acting and the events which happen to Edmund Blackadder (Rowan Atkinson - the former Mr Bean) and his servant Baldrick (Tony Robinson - Time Team) are only to be laughed at again and again. "Blackadder - The complete collection" is a 6 disc DVD limited edition box set of all the 4 Blackadder series, including the 3 specials Blackadders Christmas Carol, The Cavalier Years and the ...

Every Adder Ever to Disgrace The Planet
Review of Blackadder - Complete Blackadder (Limited Edition Box Set) (DVD) by Tricia24

Advantages: Every single Blackadder adventure together for the first time.
Disadvantages: None (except if you bought previous box sets which are now outdated).

...of all time Blackadder! The original Blackadder was written by Richard Curtis (also Vicar of Dibley, Four Weddings & A Funeral and Notting Hill) and Rowan Atkinson. The pair met at Oxford and worked together on a number of projects including Not The Nine O'Clock News, before creating Blackadder in 1983. The first series met with a mixed reception and, as it had been shot on location and was thus expensive, was destined to remain a one off. Thankfully ... Read review

The Black heart of a snake
Review of Blackadder - Complete Blackadder (Limited Edition Box Set) (DVD) by blissman70

Advantages: great classic humour and hours of entertainment
Disadvantages: none for Rowan Atkinson fans... all for the non fans

...end of 1989 * BRIEF IDEA Edmund Blackadder is a character spanning many generations through out history, starting from the middle ages right through to 1917 during the Great War, with each series depicting his character as being a self centred chancer with a sharp mind, (apart from the first series where he does come across as being a little stupid?), with his life's status seeming to diminish as the next series opened, starting as the son ...

I have a cunning plan
Review of Blackadder - Complete Blackadder (Limited Edition Box Set) (DVD) by vwelsby

Advantages: Hilarious, contains every episode, plus specials
Disadvantages: None

Blackadder is one of the best British comedies of all time. The comic genius that is Rowan Atkinson as Edmund Blackadder, outstandingly supported throughout by Tony Robinson (long before his Time Team days) as his ever suffering side kick, Baldrick, and by Tim McInnery, Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie, among others. The first series is set in the 1490s when, apparently, the history books were incorrectly written and Richard III wasn't defeated at the ... Read review

Edmund Blackadder through the ages.
Review of Blackadder - Complete Blackadder (Limited Edition Box Set) (DVD) by spikesdumplin

Advantages: All four series in full and two specials
Disadvantages: Original pilot not included, picture quality poor in some areas.

The Blackadder series is undoubtidly one of the most loved British Sitcoms. This box set brings you all four of the TV series in full, plus "Blackadder's Christmas Carol"and "Blackadder back and fourth", the time Travelling special made for the Millenium. There is much to enjoy here for the simple reason this is British comedy at its finest. There is little to say about the series that most people don't already know. Disc one contains all ...

Blackadder - The complete collection
Review of Blackadder - Complete Blackadder (Limited Edition Box Set) (DVD) by slik321

Advantages: conveniantly packaged, good series, lots of laughs, very amusing
Disadvantages: quite short series

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 ... Read review

Blackadder - Comic Genius!!
Review of Blackadder - Complete Blackadder (Limited Edition Box Set) (DVD) by buzzib

Advantages: Hilariously funny!!!
Disadvantages: Not for the easily offended or slow

Blackadder is THE classic british comedy, in my humble opinion anyway. This DVD set provides the perfect answer to people like me who love blackadder but never can find all the series to buy separately. Also, there are the special extras the christmas carol version and, my favourite, the blackadder through time stint. It is hilariously funny and as ever packed full of dry wit featuring all your favourite characters from blackadder past and present, ... Read review

Advantages: Every Blackadder episode
Disadvantages: none

...of 6 DVDs with every Blackadder episode. The first disc is the first series, "The Blackadder" which is good but not fantastic. The second disc is "Blackadder the Second" which is set in the reign of Elizabeth II and is excellent. The Third disc takes us to the 1800's and "Blackadder the third" and again is excellent and we have Hugh Laurie as the stupid Prince Regent and Blackadder as his servant. Disc 4 is "Blackadder goes fourth" set in the trenchs ... Read review

The Brilliance of the Black Adder!
Review of Blackadder - Complete Blackadder (Limited Edition Box Set) (DVD) by genius1988

Advantages: Will give hours of laughter. Every episode finally in one set!
Disadvantages: None

Blackadder is a must for any comedy fan. Starring Rowan Atkinson, it is a fantastic rendition of a made up history! From the times of Richard III to the muddy trenches of world war one, Blackadder gives a hilarious insight to the lives of Princes, Lords, Butlers and Captains! Although each of the four series of Blackadder is funny in their own way, my personal favourite is Blackadder the Third. In this series, Blackadder is a butler to the idiotic ... Read review
