Vidder Notes:  For those of you who may not be too familiar, the Blackadder series began way back in 1983 until the final film made for the millennium celebration in 1999. 

I must admit that I find most of it's humour is in the dialogue which made me question half way through trying to make this vid, why the hell I picked a series where this and not the visuals were what appealed the most.  There are slapstick visual gags applenty - I was not overly keen on the first season (it's too Mr Bean for my liking and Blackadder/Baldrick's personalities are almost reversed) but the remaining seasons are wonderful.  Stuffed with the who's who in british comedy acting and running gags acrross each series, this show is a british institution, and is always quoted in our house (we have cunning plans all the time).   The quality of the DVD footage I ripped was so variable. All interlacy and fuzzy but I decided against adding any effects as I found they made the situation worse.   I hope you all enjoy it and feedback is much appreciated.

Awesome vid is awesome!

Plus I see I still find Edmund Blackadder strangely appealing...

Totally delightful. Loved all the repeats from the different seasons. Cross-dressing Baldrick is love.

At last, after requesting it twice for festivids, there is a Blackadder vid in existence and it's awesome. I will be watching this whenever I need a quick nostalgia fix.
