[Highly rated reviewer]
Army farce
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.

Best of them all
The Blackadder series have shown the way forward for comedy series in the future. Blackadder Goes Forth has Edmund in the trenches of the First World War, where he is permanently trying to wangle his way out to safety. Baldric and George keep the laughs flowing, but underlying is the deep pathos of a whole generation going up in smoke. General Melchett plays the classic British Blimp general, ably assisted by Captain Darling. A sticky end turns out to be unavoidable.
