Tough call, but Blackadder the Third gets my vote, if only for the episode featuring Robbie Coltrane as Dr. Johnson. I shall return interfrastically. ------------- 'Like so many of you I've got my doubts about how much to contribute to the already rich among us...' Robert Wyatt, Gloria Gloom |

Got to be the second one, that was classic. Shortly followed by Blackadder goes Forth. Though they were all great.

A tough call indeed. Queenie irritated me a bit, but all the series were excellent. Went for 4, but a close call Darling!
(I also thought Atkinson's other series "The thin blue line" was superb)

I can't imagine too many votes for the first series; frankly, he just wasn't devious enough!! I've gone for Blackadder 3 if you were interested, primarily because I was studying that period for 'A' level at the time it was first screened, and I thought it was hilarious. ------------- Music has always been a matter of energy to me.

Well I'm up for it Snow Dog, Blackadder II just nicks it from Blackadder III, with Blackadder significantly behind ...

I've seen them all, and have forgotten them all together. It was quite funny, but no jokes sticked. I can't remember one  ------------- I'm always almost unlucky _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Id5ZcnjXSZaSMFMC Id5LM2q2jfqz3YxT |

I hated the fact that Rowan Atkinson did Mr Bean after Blackadder. he was excellent as the underhanded, conniving Edmund Blackadder, then he becomes a dribbling little oik that was/is Mr Bean. he's best when he's playing a bastard. Blackadder 3 is great, certainly the most memorably IMO. ------------- "...misty halos made visible by the spectral illumination of moonshine." |

I went for 4 as well if only for the line: Capt darling - 'Oh Cappuchino!'  ------------- I must remind the right honourable gentleman that a monologue is not a decision. - Clement Atlee, on Winston Churchill |

I've seen every single episode of all four series repeatedly, some of them at least ten times. They never stale. I went to 4, just over 2 and 3, mainly because it contains the single best episode of any comedy series (Byeeeee). Brilliant. |

The Pinnacle of British Comedy achievement,even greater than Fawlty Towers. The series only really took off after Ben Elton joined the writing team.

| 'Goes Forth' for me too. The last episode was just so good. |

I love Blackadder and own them all, but my favorite is II, probably because I am very interested in Elizabethan music. They are all hilarious, though. Thin Blue Line was very funny, as well. Blackadder and The Prisoner are my two favorite shows of all time. ------------- Vive Gong! |

They're all great. I voted for the forth season. IMO in this season all the actors fit best into their roles (Melchet in particular ... roaringly funny). ------------- https://awesomeprog.com/users/Mike" rel="nofollow">Recently listened to:

I went for the 3rd series...partly because when it first came out, we were doing the Georgian period in 'A' level history, and for me as a 17 year old, it was excuciatingly funny to see Walpole, Pitt & the Prince Regent taken the rip out of so mercilessly... ------------- Music has always been a matter of energy to me.
