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.

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

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).

i liked the first one that nobody else liked

Pixel · 06/09/2012 20:43

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

PseudoBadger · 06/09/2012 20:43

Definitely 2, he's hot :o

But I do like 3 and 4.

GetOrfAKAMrsUsainBolt · 06/09/2012 20:44

Blackadder 2.

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

We are not at home to Mr cock up! Grin

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

StarlightMcKenzie · 06/09/2012 20:47

I liked the one with RA the best!

PseudoBadger · 06/09/2012 20:48

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

GetOrfAKAMrsUsainBolt · 06/09/2012 20:51

oh GOD I used to love Rik Mayall as Flashheart.

Doilooklikeatourist · 06/09/2012 20:52

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

BrittaPerry · 06/09/2012 20:54

DH went on Mastermind about black adder :-D

GusTheOneEyedPolarBear · 06/09/2012 20:55

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 · 06/09/2012 20:56

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

CharlotteBronteSaurus · 06/09/2012 20:57

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 · 06/09/2012 20:58

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 · 06/09/2012 20:58

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 · 06/09/2012 20:58

Anti distinctly minty!

NicholasTeakozy · 06/09/2012 20:59

CHISWICK! FRESH HORSES!

LovelyMarchHare · 06/09/2012 20:59

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 · 06/09/2012 20:59

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.
