In this box is sometimes the very best, and a little of the very worse of the complete output from the Blackadder team...forget if you will the first series, that was not as good as the rest; once however they brought in Ben Elton to pen the rest, well it's history as they say..pun intended. A top team take this comedy series to imortality, it's funny now, and will continue to be so for many years to come, yes even the first series. Stephen Fry is so articulate in all the various roles, he 'consumes' all with ease..and spits out a delite in comedy acting. I need not mention other names; their's have become like the shows, embedded in total recall of everyone who has become involved in watching these shows mature over the years...I hope you will buy this set, you will not be disapointed, in fact quite the reverse.Read full review
I'm from London so i saw some Black-adders on BBC years back.When i bought the whole series i realised that it took a while for the producers to get up steam on the series and that certainly the 1st disc is pathetic and Black-adder in his early days is a wimp and not funny.He is too much like 'Mr Bean'(Another character played by Rowlan Atkinson who plays Blackadder).Later on, probably by disc 3,is the Blackadder i remember who rather more nasty,sly and hilarious.So knowing what i know i would have bought disc by disc the Black-adders after the producers had matured on the script and characters because what a huge difference.If you are an american who likes 'Faulty Towers' or 'Monty Python'-you should try Blackadder.(These british comedies are one step up and beyond 'Are you Being Served' on T.V.And if you want to be a connessiuer then get hold of 'Steptoe and Son'(on e-bay)which i reckon is the King of british comedy and unknown in USA.It's about a cockney 2nd hand dealer and his cantankerous leacherous old father.Read full review
I have always been a fan of Blackadder and when I saw it for sale I knew I had to buy it. I have not been disappointed. It has all four tv series and the film. In addition it contains Blackadder Back and Fourth the film and the Comic Relief Special The Cavalier Years. It is Rowan Atkinson and Tony Robinson at their finest. Blackadder follows the Blackadder family down the centuries in their quest for wealth and power and is a must for any fan of Rowan Atkinson. I have laughed through every episode and I can't recommend this dvd any higher.

Everyone knows what Blackadder is-or they should do, if you have never heard of it all you need to know is that if you like comedy-like, at all, buy it, watch it, make your friends watch it. And for the rest of you, you know how it goes, Rowan Atkinson Stephen Fry, sometimes Hugh Laurie, Tony Robinson (who I forever call Bauldrick), Rick Mayall, Miranda Richardson (always Queenie) to name a few of the greats. All the series, all the specials (so thats two specials then), and just really really great comedy.
This is a gift from someone's wish list, so the item quality is up to them, but we both love Blackadder
