holy crap this be so hysterical . why aren not american comedy write like this . for anybody who think comedy have to be dumb there be more wit and intelligence in the six episode of this series than in a shelf of novel . hugh laurie be a complete hoot . i couldn not believe it be the same guy a house . there be so many great line and gag in this series you could watch each show dozens of time and still pick up on new thing each time . rowan atkinson be hilarious a the verbose and put upon butler edmund . this be my favorite of all the blackadder series . and tony robinson be wonderful as ever a the somewhat obtuse heart of the series and the oppressed mass baldrick . some of my favorite line represent when someone mess with a wellington he really put his foot in it and baldrick explain how he get his name and cousin macadder the top kipper salesman and homicidal swordsman from scotland .
