Description: US/Canadian buyers please see note below! Blackadder (1982-1989) - Complete Collection "From Richard IV to World War I" (6 Disc Set) * DVD Edition! * Region 2 PAL Version - Brand New, Factory Sealed DVD Set US/Canadian buyers please see note below! These are original and factory sealed. They are Region 2 PAL and play beautifully on modern Multi-region DVD players. DVD FEATURES: Intro: Through four series and a few specials, Edmund Blackadder and his greasy sidekick Baldrick conjure up cunning plans as Edmund tries to take advantage of desperate times. These "situation tragedies" had obvious parallels from the Dark Ages to Elizabethan times, the rule of mad George III, and The Great War. Description: This deluxe edition includes fantastic digitally remastered episodes plus a whole host of special features, many of which are completely exclusive to DVD. This remastered BLACKADDER collection brings together all four eras of the classic comedy starring Rowan Atkinson. Each series traces the snivelling title character and his equally irksome descendants. Episodes feature a wide range of British stars, including Stephen Fry, Miranda Richardson, Rik Mayall, Jim Broadbent, Brian Blessed, and many others. Blackadder: P Pilot 1 The Foretelling 2 Born to Be King 3 The Archbishop 4 The Queen of Spain's Beard 5 Witchsmeller Pursuivant 6 The Black Seal Review: The classic first series of BlackAdder was slightly different to its successors--Ben Elton was not yet part of the writing team, and Shakespearean parody featured prominently. Rowan Atkinson was at his best as a would-be Machiavellian medieval intriguer while Brian Blessed plays his gloriously over the top blustering militarist father. Blackadder II: 7 Bells 8 Head 9 Potato 10 Money 11 Beer 12 Chains Review: Although now regarded as the opening salvo of a classic series. On the writing front, Richard Curtis was joined by Ben Elton, while the expensive War of the Roses-era sets were replaced by cosier Elizabethan ones. And Rowan Atkinson's eponymous character now emerged as the familiar Machiavellian fiend which would cement Atkinson's place in the pantheon of great British sitcom actors. Blackadder The Third: 13 Dish and Dishonesty 14 Ink and Incapability 15 Nob and Nobility 16 Sense and Senility 17 Amy and Amiability 18 Duel and Duality Sp A Blackadder's Christmas Carol Sp The Cavalier Years Review: Rowan Atkinson's irredeemably wicked Edmund Blackadder has moved forward in time from the court of Queen Elizabeth but a little down the social ladder. He's now butler to Hugh Laurie's congenitally stupid Prince Regent on the cusp of the 18th and 19th centuries, and if that wasn't bad enough he's still accompanied by Tony Robinson's dim-witted Baldrick, whose cunning plans never fail to make an impossible situation worse. Blackadder's desperate scheming and utter contempt for all he surveys hasn't changed, nor have the baroque complexities of the situations in which he becomes embroiled: from an anachronistic war of words with Dr Johnson (Robbie Coltrane relishing every syllable) to taking on the Scarlet Pimpernel at his own game, to fighting a duel with a psychopathic Duke of Wellington, Edmund's luck never seems to change. Blackadder Goes Forth: 21 Plan A: Captain Cook 22 Plan B: Corporal Punishment 23 Plan C: Major Star 24 Plan D: Private Plane 25 Plan E: General Hospital 26 Plan F: Goodbyeee Sp (A Royal Birthday Celebration) Sp Blackadder Back & Forth Review: The final Blackadder series, which first appeared in 1990, was the most highly evolved of all of the Richard Curtis/Ben Elton-scripted excursions. Having contrived to attain the Crown at the end of the third series, Rowan Atkinson's Edmund Blackadder is now reduced to a mere Captaincy in the trenches during World War I, with these episodes finding him shooting messenger pigeons, grumbling about Charlie Chaplin and unscrupulously evading his patriotic duty to pile over the top and be slaughtered pointlessly. Hugh Laurie plays the upper class silly arse to the hilt while Baldrick's cunniing plans continue.

Hello :-) IMPORTANT DVD INFORMATION FOR MY US & CANADIAN CUSTOMERS: As per the auction these are Europe Region 2 DVDs (US/Canada are Region 1) and you need a multi-regional (multi-zone) DVD player to play them! BUT don't panic just yet :-) Many DVD players are easy to unlock. Let me know the brand and model number of your DVD player so I see if there is a simple unlock code for your player. Many of my US/Canadian customers chose to play or copy these DVDs on a PC before playing them. I also see there are many economical Multi Region DVD players on EBay ($35-50). Just do a search if you wish. It seems a shame to let go of this great DVD set. Cheers :-)
