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 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
