@spacecowboy5000 More or less, yes, each show follows a different generation of Blackadder and Baldrick. Ending with Captain Blackadder in Blackadder Goes Fourth, who was a British Army Captain in WW1.
@spacecowboy5000 well, the 1st Season (just titled Blackadder) is not nearly as good as the 2nd, 3rd and 4th season/series were. But those 3 are good, and the entire fandom has differing opinions on which ones are the funnies, frankly I feel that the 3rd Season (this one, titled Black Adder the Third) is the funniest, but they are all good.
From Tony Robinson's "A Cunning Night Out" Tour 2007
After "If found please return to Emma Hamilton, Marine Parade Portsmouth" "There was a line afterwards that Rowan absolutely stamped on and refused to say - "And to think, in this stage of my life I'd be up to my neck in Lady Hamilton's pussy"
@goombabear Actually, at the time one person could have many votes, because the number of votes was directly relative to one`s wealth. So E. Blackadder didn`t vote 16,472 times but rather used all of his 16,472 votes on one person.
I know this is over-analytical, but just wanted to point that out.
'Standing at the Back Dressed Stupidly and Looking Stupid Party'
That's a very cool reference to the real Monster Raving Loony Party, headed by Screaming Lord Such (David Edward Such - not a Lord) who was also a manic depressive. You can check it out at Wikipedia.
I remember being seeing this episode as part of a history lesson at school:D It has to be the best way to explain pre-1832 reform act british politics ever and the best history teacher ever:D
This is the worst moment of my entire life. I spent my last penny on a cat-skin windcheater, I've just broken a priceless turnip, and now I'm about to be viciously slaughtered by a naked tunisian sock merchant. All I can say, baldrick, is this is the last time I dabble in politics.
great stuff. I'm surprised that it hasn't been deleted by youtube yet, considering its popular material (as they love to remove popular material). hahah.
