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.

Blackadder 2 - it is utter genius. 'Bob'

Series 2 is the funniest and most memorable, but they are all great, even the first one. And the final episode was so sad but so good, they got it just right.

I've got the every series on Audio CD.. Priceless!

My favourite is series 3 but no-one ever seems to agree. Hugh Laurie was brilliant.

Weird. Me and DH were just talking, and I quoted Blackadder character (the quote in question being: "you have a woman's bottom!") and then I scrolled down and saw this thread.

What a coincidence.

Blackadder II is the best. Fact.

Three is my favourite as well.

2 is my fave. Favourite bits are

I will w-reak my rewengay.

Vanished, like an old oak table
Great Boo's up!
I have made green my lord.

I also like mrs miggins in 3 and can clearly recal seeing the end of 4 for the first time and how amazingly moving it was.

Just settling down with series 3 on Gold.

Hugh Laurie is brilliant but Queenie & Nursey are my favourites. Mr & Mrs Smack will take a short sharp trip to bottie land

Oh, and I have 2 as an audio book on my iPod, but can't listen to it in public on my headphones as I laugh too much. Even after all this time, and hundreds of listens.

Love the second series must have watched great boos up a million times. Love it.

I used to like the little song about the goblins in that one.

DH and I were saying the other day how it's funny that so much from Blackadder has worked its way into our speech... every time I say the word 'distinctly', I have to say it as 'anti distinctly minty. Or if we've lost something we say "it's vanished... like an old oak table". And the answer to any question involving maths is always "some beans". There are loads more that I can't think of atm...

I saw the last ever episode being filmed...

IV with the poppy field at the end

Calling turnips thingys!

And the one with Baldric winning the giant turnip

Series 2 , and series 4 - last episode - genius !

3 for me.

Which was the one with Pitt the young and Pitt the even younger ?

II
IV
III
I

Blackadder goes Forth is my favourite! "Never

My favourite quote is: "You wouldn't see a subtle plan if it painted itself purple and danced naked on top of a harpsichord, singing 'Subtle plans are here again'."

II - genius lines. Baldrick is truly on fire in it. And of course, Bob!

That being said Blackadder I was brilliant and there's nothing like the first time of watching it. Love the messenger in it, he makes cry with laughter each time as does the Spanish Infanta's translater!

Did anyone see the Blackadder Reunited type programme that Gold did? 'twas very funny. Miranda Richardson said she went into her audition wanting to be different so played Queenie as a spoilt 6 year old

Sorry about the random 'never' - I was going to write "Never pooh-pooh a pooh-pooh" but I thought that might be a misquote.

2 because of Queenie.

II, the whole series was brilliant.
I loved Nursey/Bernard 'It's a boy! A boy without a winkie!'
I think I loved Lord Percy the best. 'Oh Edmund, can it be true, that I hold here in my mortal hand a nugget of purest GREEN'

III and IV were great. I not so.

I really loked the Christmas Carol aswell 'If we were little pigs we'd sing piggy wiggy wiggy wiggy woo'

Have remembered some more of our Blackadder-speak...

A hangover demands the phrase "my head feels like there's a Frenchman living in it".

This one comes up more frequently than you'd imagine - when one of us uses the phrase "the funny thing is..." the other will immediately interrupt with "...its head was exactly the same shape as a hammer".

The word 'pointless' becomes instead 'broken pencil' eg. "I wouldn't bother ironing that t-shirt - it's broken pencil".

When we suddenly remember something we've been trying to think of, we say "oh, it's a scythe!"

And who can tell me the correct response upon hearing the word "corridor?" :)
