I prefer Rowan Atkinson as Mr. Bean. Somehow he didn't seem quite as funny in this Blackadder series which contained rather more dialogue than action.
It is my opinion that the fouth series of Blackadder is the greatest. With word play, inuendo and a little slapstick thrown in this series is arguably the greatest of all British comedy series.
Aswell as being unrelentigly hilarious, the six episodes deal with moving and relevant issues about the first world war. No sit-com has since ended on such a moving and serious note.
