Blackadder - Series 4 on DVD (1989)

mattlev from Surrey , 23/06/2005

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.

Blackadder has to be up there in the top ten of great British comedy sit-coms along with ?Dad?s Army?, ?Faulty Towers?, ?Open All Hours? and the like. You can?t get more nearer to perfection than this; almost every line written is a gem. Like the aforementioned shows, the Blackadder series will continue to make audience?s laugh in the future for as long as there?s a format to view them on.

Hilarious from start to finish, from Blackadders sarcasm thru George's stupidity all the way to Baldricks insanity, a masterpiece from start to finish

Best of the lot in my opinion. The end of the series had much more of an impact than even the writers had planned/hoped. A classic.

Blacker than the Adder's heart and slicker than Baldrick's stage shows moustache, every episode of this final series of Blackadder?s history is a joy to behold. The writing by Curtis and Elton is exquisite comedy filled with sorrow, as you know that most of what was shown was actually going on. Performances by Atkinson, and Robinson are as worthy as they should be although my personal favourite has to be Hugh Laurie as the dim witted, gung ho, Eton batting Lieutenant George. Side performances by the ever-loveable Rick Mayall as Flasheart and Geoffery Palmer as Field Marshall ?Dougie? Haig, amongst many others, are by far the best. The BBC yet again uses the license payer?s money wisely adding to their vast comedy store from the past 50+ years. One watching will never be enough. I feel the War Poets would be proud.
