Summary
Throughout history, England has been blighted by members of the Blackadder dynasty.
In The Black Adder, we meet Edmund (Rowan Atkinson), the slimy younger son of King Richard IV (Brian Blessed). He's accompanied by his friend Percy (Tim McInnerny) and his servant Baldrick (Tony Robinson).
In Blackadder II, we encounter Lord Edmund Blackadder (Rowan Atkinson), direct descendant of the odious Prince Edmund. He plots and schemes in the court of Queen Elizabeth I (Miranda Richardson), aided by his friend Lord Percy (Tim McInnerny) and his servant Baldrick (Tony Robinson).
In Blackadder The Third, Edmund Blackadder (Rowan Atkison) is butler to George, the Prince Regent (Hugh Laurie).
In Blackadder Goes Forth, Captain Edmund Blackadder (Rowan Atkinson) shares a World War I dugout with Lieutenant George Barleigh (Hugh Laurie) and Private Baldrick (Tony Robinson).
Ten years after the final series, a special episode called Blackadder Back And Forth was made to celebrate the new millennium.
