Black Adder III is my favourite. Hugh Laurie playing Prince George is superb..  ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

Me too.
First World War = most stupid war of all times, never better portrayed than in this series.
Stupid, idiotic officers, soldiers = butchery meat. The series really comes close to reality.

Just recently bought the serie on DVD.
haven't watched it all yet, but I think the fourth is the best, while on the third Hugh Laurie is absolutely brilliant. ------------- I'm always almost unlucky _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Id5ZcnjXSZaSMFMC Id5LM2q2jfqz3YxT |

I've got all four series in a DVD box set, all I need is the Christmas special and Back and Fourth.
My favourite series would be 2 followed by three. ------------- |

I managed to pick up all 4 series boxed up with the two "specials" for £30.
2-3-4 are absolutely sublime, 1 is ok but we dont see the sophisticated wit of the "real" Edmund.
The Xmas Special is very good too, but "Back& Forth" is rather disappointing.
Favourite characters, besides the obvious:
General Melchet (Goes Forth)
Melchett: Is this true, Blackadder? Did Captain Darling pooh-pooh you?
Edmund: Well, perhaps a little. Melchett: Well then, damn it all, how much more evidence do you need? The pooh-poohing alone is a court-martial offence! Edmund: I can assure you, sir, that the pooh-poohing was purely circumstantial. Melchett: Well, I hope so, Blackadder. You know, if there's one thing I've learned from being in the army, it's never ignore a pooh-pooh. I knew a major. He got pooh-poohed, made the mistake of ignoring the pooh-pooh - he pooh-poohed it. Fatal error, because it turned out all along that the soldier who pooh-poohed him had been pooh-poohing a lot of other officers, who pooh-poohed their pooh-poohs. In the end, we had to disband the regiment - morale totally destroyed - by pooh-pooh! Prince George (III)
George: Marry? Never! I'm a gay bachelor, Blackadder. I'm a roarer, a rogerer, a gorger and a puker! I can't marry, I'm young, I'm firm buttocked, I'm... Percy (II)
Percy: So, Lord Whiteadder, this vow of silence you've taken, tell me about it...
-------------------
Edmund Blackadder Classic:
How do you explain a bloke bursting in to the room exclaiming "great booze up Blackadder!" when you are trying to pretend to your Puritan relatives, who you wish to get an inheritance out of, that you live a virtuous and abstemious life?
Easy...
Lady Whiteadder: Can you explain what he meant by "great booze-up"?  |

All have their moments of brilliance! I always loved the MacBeth episode in series 3  ------------- Interested in my reviews? You can find them http://www.progarchives.com/Collaborators.asp?id=784 - HERE "...He will search until He's found a Way to take the Days..." |

Oh dear, I'd forgotten that one...
Not to forget: Blackadder: 'A war hasn't been fought this badly since Olaf the Hairy, High Chief of all the Vikings, accidentally ordered 80,000 battle helmets with the horns on the inside.' And... Red Baron: 'How lucky you English are to find the toilet so amusing. For us, it is a mundane and functional item. For you it is the basis of an entire culture.' But not forgetting the greatest of all quotes: 
"Wibble" -------------
