Series 1:
1. The Foretelling
2. Born to be King.
3. The Archbishop
4. The Queen of Spain's Beard
5. Witchsmeller Persuivant

The combined writing skills of Curtis, Ben Elton and Rowan Atkinson is simply sensational. The comedy and witty lines come thick and fast. It is one of those series you can watch again simply to catch some of the many jokes that you missed on the first watching.
The pairing of Rowan Atkinson and Tony Robinson was a masterly stroke of genius. Who can forget Baldricks catchphrase, ?I have a cunning Plan, which was anything but cunning.
The DVD is worth the money, although it has little extras, Subtitles, chapter selection and some small back ground filling to the series.
Recommended. ...
