Black Adder is a BBC One sitcom starring Rowan Atkinson that aired for four series beginning in 1983. Though each series features the same actors, they revolve around different characters and are set in different historic time periods. The first, simply titled "the Black Adder," takes place in 1485, near the end of the Dark Ages. Edmund, the Duke of Edinburgh (Atkinson), aka "the Black Adder," is the second son of Richard IV, is constantly plotting to get into his father's good graces and, ultimately, to overthrow him. "Blackadder II" finds the original Black Adder's great-grandson, Edumnd, Lord Blackadder, in the kingdom of Queen Elizabeth I (Miranda Richardson). "Blackadder the Third" takes place in "the Regency," and features Atkinson in the role of E. Blackadder, butler to the Prince of Wales (Hugh Laurie). "Blackadder Goes Forth" is set on the battlefields of WWI, where a Captain Blackadder tries to find ways to stay out of the line of fire. The series also consists of four specials.MORE
