What better way to learn about British History than through the eyes of
the hilarious Rowan Atkinson as he jumps from the end of the Dark Ages
to the midst of World War I in just two fast paced hours!
If one
looked up dastardly, conniving scoundrel in a book, they would likely
see a picture of The Black Adder. Whether he’s accidentally
decapitating Richard III or hastily ordering a beheading for Queen
Elizabeth so he can take the rest of the week off as Head Executioner,
every generation of Edmund Blackadder always had some cunning plan or
another that often backfired with gut splitting results. Accompanied by
an entourage of nitwits like his trusty idiot sidekick Baldrick, who
would help foil his convoluted schemes, all four seasons of this classic
BBC series features constant roller coaster rides of brilliant
plotting, elaborate word play and over the top performances.
We
have hand picked one favorite episode from each of the four seasons or
generations in the Black Adder’s Dynasty. The first season is set
during the time of Richard III, the second during Queen Elizabeth’s
reign, the third in the late eighteenth century and the fourth is on the
Western Front during World War I. Also starring Tony Robinson, Miranda
Richardson, Stephen Fry and a long before “HOUSE MD” Hugh Laurie. This
is British comedy at its absolute, hyper intelligent best!
Between each segment we will also feature rare, banned international ads.
