What better way to learn about British History than with the hilarious Rowan Atkinson?
If one looked up dastardly, conniving scoundrel in a book, they would likely see a picture of Edmund Black Adder. Often accompanied by an entourage of nitwits who would help foil his convoluted schemes, this classic BBC series featured constant roller coaster rides of brilliant plotting, elaborate word play and over the top performances.
We have hand picked one favorite episode from each of the four seasons or generations in the Black Adder's legacy. The first season is set during the time of Richard III, the second during Queen Elizabeth's reign, the third in the late eighteenth century and the fourth is on the Western Front during World War I. This is British comedy at its absolute, hyper intelligent best!
Between each segment we will also feature rare, banned international ads.
