Blackadder

The highly acclaimed final series finds a world-weary Captain Blackadder (Rowan Atkinson) stationed on the Western Front during World War I. Having joined the British Army when it was little more than a travel agency for gentlemen with an abnormally high sex drive, he's not overjoyed to be in the trenches facing four million German machine guns. It would be slightly more bearable if General Melchett's battle plans were less suicidal and if Private Baldrick's cooking wasn't confined to rat.

Season 3 of this classic comedy starring Rowan Atkinson and Tony Robinson sees the fortunes of the Blackadder family somewhat in decline with the advent of the Regency period. Edmund is now butler and confidante to George, the Prince Regent, a dandified dunderhead who can't even figure out how to put on his own pantaloons. But it's an ideal opportunity for Blackadder to make buckets of cash, and even become Prince Regent himself. Unfortunately, he veers from calamity to disaster with little in the way of constructive help from his imbecilic Lord and Master -- or Baldrick, of whom the least said the better.

Charles Dickens' classic tale of kindness, truth, and virtue is completely ruined by having a member of the Blackadder family involved. It's Christmas Eve, and just as Ebenezer Blackadder is going to bed, his loathsome relatives decide to visit. The special includes visits from the Victorian Blackadder joined by the Elizabethan, Regency, and the Space Age members of this infamous dynasty.
