    For all the poignant depictions of war and death, Blackadder 4's ending had a deeper impact on me than anything, despite it being a comedy. It's like watching your friends all charge into certain death for absolutely no reason - it's harrowing.

      Yeah, she did. Her first line in the queen sketch is grammatically wrong. And the way she stresses the “r” sounds more like Eastern European than Spanish. (but she’s obviously English)
      And when she says “just the two of us” she’s using the wrong article. She also says “mama how much I love you” and I’m not quite sure here because back then it might have been correct to call her mom but the Spanish word for mother-in-law is suegra.

    The 4th series was the best followed by the 2nd funny enough that’s the 2 series that Rik Mayall played Lord Flasheart in (Lord Flasheart in 4th series talking about flying planes “always treat your kite like your woman…get inside her 5 times a day and take her to heaven and back”). It’s funny how in the first series that Baldric was the clever one and Blackadder was the idiot (Percy was always an idiot). I have to say Corporal Punishment (2nd episode of 4th series) is my favourite episode where Blackadder kills the General’s pigeon and gets sentenced to death. So many parts of that episode are absolutely classic from the trial to the firing squad coming to see Blackadder and a 22/23yr old Stephen Fry playing a general in his 60’s was done so well. Who would’ve thought that a series set in the trenches of WW1 could be so funny. I grew up in the 80’s and Blackadder was the first grownup comedy show I loved and it’s still my favourite comedy show and has a special place in my heart, maybe because I love history and Blackadder is set in different periods of history it makes it so interesting to me or just the sentimental part of me that remembers being allowed to stay up to half 9 one night and I laughed my head off when King Richard 3rd says “A horse, a horse my kingdom for a horse” then goes to take Blackadder’s horse while he’s having a piss then shouts “that’s my horse” before decapitating King Richard and from then on I was hooked and from then on I was allowed to stay up late to watch Blackadder every week

      By bringing in Ben Elton and massively cutting the budget. In the later series, gone are the huge outdoor scenes, replaced by a small set of indoor sets. Most of 2, 3 & 4 could be done as a radio show, as the majority of the humour is verbal.

    Always gets me the last 2 scenes of blackadder! Pretty brilliant how they turned one of the best comedies into a serious sad ending. Think they just had to make it serious tbh. Also iv always wondered what was baldricks last ever cunning plan? Maybe this time it was truly cunning 🫡
