Which Blackadder is your favourite?

[MrsHelsBels74]

For me it's always been Blackadder II which has just been repeated, but I wish they hadn't all been killed off at the end.

[sugarice]

Is that the one with Miranda Richardson and Stephen Fry, that's my favourite series.

[MrsHelsBels74]

Yes II was set in Elizabethan England with Queenie.

I also thought Rowan Atkinson was quite dashing in his tights & codpiece, I find it very hard to equate Edmund Blackadder with Mr Bean (who I just find cringeworthy).

4

[MrsHelsBels74]

4 made me cry buckets at the end

[out2lunch]

i liked the first one that nobody else liked

[Pixel]

I liked the first one, but I fancy the elizabethan one .

[PseudoBadger]

Definitely 2, he's hot :o

But I do like 3 and 4.

[GetOrfAKAMrsUsainBolt]

Blackadder 2.

Especially the one where Blackadder says 'the path of my life is strewn with cowpats from the devil's own satanic HERD'

[LordFlasheart]

[toysoldiers]

We are not at home to Mr cock up!

But DSs will be forced to sit through Blackadder Goes Forth as an educational exercise one day.

[StarlightMcKenzie]

I liked the one with RA the best!

[PseudoBadger]

I'm currently teaching DS the words to Boom Boom Boom Boom :o

[GetOrfAKAMrsUsainBolt]

oh GOD I used to love Rik Mayall as Flashheart.

[Doilooklikeatourist]

I loved the Queen Elizabeth 1st series the best .
And lord Flasheart . ( sp )
Flash by name < thrust > Flash by nature !

[BrittaPerry]

DH went on Mastermind about black adder :-D

[GusTheOneEyedPolarBear]

I love Black Adder 3, although I do have a certain fondness for the 1sr series. I think I've watched Black Adder 2 too many times to like it in the same way as I do 3. Although the episode with the puritan Aunt and the drinking contest would definitely be my favorite episode.

[LordFlasheart]

I see you've heard of me, Doilooklikeatourist. Like the beard, gives me something to hang on to...

[CharlotteBronteSaurus]

III
Particular the one where Baldrick burns Dr. Johnson's manuscript

"Baldrick, believe me, eternity in the company of Beelzebub and all his hellish instruments of death will be a picnic compared to five minutes with me and this pencil if we can't replace this dictionary."

[EndoplasmicReticulum]

2 is my favourite.

1 isn't as funny as the others, the last episode of 4 is the best individual episode though, I think.

[Kveta]

Edmund.

I may have misunderstood the question.

I loved all 4 series, couldn't identify a favourite, but could quote much of each episode!

[Vickles]

Anti distinctly minty!

[NicholasTeakozy]

CHISWICK! FRESH HORSES!

[LovelyMarchHare]

In this order;
III
IV
II
I

I too have seen the second series so often that I can recite every line. Like the foppery of III.

[HeartsTrumpDiamonds]

Queenie is one of my all-time favourite telly characters so definitely II.

Other faves are the Dowager Countess of Grantham, Amy Farrah Fowler, Claire Balding (ok a real person, not a character!) etc.

Love strong women. Love 'em.
