Blackadder
My only exposure to the Blackadder was at the Millennium Dome and I thought it was great. Was this a series? Was it shown only in the UK? If so the movie Capitalists of the US are missing out on a winner. Has anyone seen any Blackadder movies in the US? Where?

Hi Jerry, The Blackadder series was a television show and was shown in Australia at least as well as UK. It was very popular here. I think Rowan Atkinson was much funnier as Blackadder than as Mr.Bean who I find repellent. Unfortunately the British seem to make very short comedy series and I felt Blackadder ended too soon.

Jerry: <BR> <BR>"Blackadder" is out on video in the US and you can probably rent it at your local Blockbuster (mine carries it). You can also purchase the tapes if you're a real fan - I've seen them discounted at Sam's, a box set of five for $24.99.

The series is at least 15 years old (from series 1). There was a mediaeval series, a Tudor series, a Regency period series and a WWI series, as well as a TV special where Blackadder was a scrooge-type character. In the first (mediaeval) series Blackadder was stupid, whereas Baldrick was smart. This was reversed in all the subsequent series. Miranda Richardson played QE1 in the second series.
