Brief synopsis of Blackadder - Series 3

This third series presents more dim-witted antics from the annals of the Blackadder family. Previously aristocratic, Edmund Blackadder (Rowan Atkinson) now finds himself in the midst of the Industrial Revolution as a butler and gentlemen's gentleman to the pea-brained Prince Regent (Hugh Laurie). The collection includes six episodes: "Dish and Dishonesty, " "Ink and Incapability," "Nob and Nobility, " "Sense and Senility," "Amy and Amiability," and "Duel and Duality."

Rated - 5 starsThe best Blackadder series

Marianthi from London, England , 12/01/2004

'Blackadder' is for me the best British sitcome ever (OK, 'Fawlty Towers' is a very close second!). It's just hilarious and this is the best series. Edmund Blackadder is the manservant of an amazingly stupid Prince George (Hugh Laurie at his very comic best). To me, the episode with Dr Johnson's dictionary (I think it's 'Ink and Incapability') and the dream Edmund has while re-writing is one of the funniest moments in TV history. Highly recommendinatious!

An excellent series to sit back and giggle at all night. Brought back some good memories of watching it some ten years ago. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Blackadder 3 in my opinion is without doubt the best of the four. Rowan Atkinson is hilarious ? Blackadder is one of his finest hours and he fits the character perfectly. Tony Robinson is cursed forever to be remembered for Baldrick (no matter how many Time Teams he does) and he is brilliant in a thankless role. Hugh Laurie is superb as the stupid Prince and brings inbred stupidity to life! But each episode is also underpinned by a wealth of talent including Helen Atkinson Wood, Robbie Coltrane, Chris Barrie, Ben Elton, Stephen Fry etc. The casting is great and the script is just pure perfection.

The more you watch this the more you appreciate how well Tony Robinson and Rowen Atkinson bounce off one another
