Black Adder.
=========
Here we again follow Rowan Atkinson who is simply superb and I hope you get a sense of my enjoyment from the following review of the second series

Black Adder ran for 4 series but this review is about just the second.

The second series was set in the 16th century and follows Black Adder as he sucks up to queen bess and nearly, on several occassions, loses his head.

He and his manservant, the wonderfully dopey Baldrick set out to grab as much power as he can. If he can survive the treacherous court goings on and if he can survive Baldricks attempts to "help" him!

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.

Summary: worth a look at, it will make you laugh.
