Summary: The Best of the Black Adder Series.
Review: "I am the Queen of England. I may have the body of a weak and feable woman, but I have the heart and stomach of a concrete elephant." "Prove it!" "I most certainly will. First, I am going to have a little drinky-winky and then in the morning I'm going to have you all executed." Miranda Richardson as Elizabeth I is in my opinion the best part of all of Black Adder. At first I though she was being a bit annoying but when she came the lines above, the only thing to keep me applauding her was the fact I was in the room alone. Black Adder is one of Britain's best and this is certainly its best season (though one of the best parts of the series is the way they rewrite history and I think season one probably did the best with that aspect). The only thing I found disappointing was that Queeny didn't actually behead everyone in the last episode.

Summary: Best British series EVER!!!!!!
Review: Black Adder is without a doubt the funniest series to have ever come from England - yes - funnier than Monty Phython!!! Although I have never been a fan of Mr Bean - Rowan Atkinson proves his comedic genius in this, the best of the Adder seasons. However, it does help to have SOME knowledge of the time period in which this series takes place.If you are new to the Black Adder, I recommend this series as a great starting point.

Summary: Black Adder meets Elizabeth (the virgin?)
Review: Black Adder stars Rowan Atkinson, an absolute comic genius who is also the star of Mr. Bean. The screenplays were written by Richard Curtis (Mr. Bean, Not the nine o'clock news) and Ben Elton - possibly one of the funniest modern writers.In the second series, Rowan Atkinson plays a clever palace courtier in Elizabethan England. Sometimes favourite of queen and scourge of his rivals, Edmond parties in merry olde England. The six episodes in the second series: 1. Bells - Served by a dungball in a dress and accompanied by a dimwit that he can't seem to shake, Black Adder finds himself strangely attracted to his new servant - Bob 2. Head - Newly appointed Lord High Executioner - Edmund Black Adder - finds himself in a bit of pickle when his decides to cut short on his chores and executes the wrong man. 3. Potato - Not to be outdone by the pompous and boring Sir Raleigh, Black Adder sets out to find the new world and ends up drinking his own urine 4. Money - An angry bishop with a red hot poker tries to collect on Edmunds debts 5. Beer - Juggling dinner with his puritan relatives while conducting a drinking game works fine for Edmund, until someone discovers an oddly shaped turnip 6. Chains - A crazed master of disguise, with an awful german accent, threatens to ruin Black Adder's whole life

Summary: The ultimate British Comedy!
Review: Blackadder took Britain by storm, but across the board the second series, under the reign on Queen Elizabeth I, was the best of the lot. The episode "Beer" about trying to tinker with Puritian vegetable folk is one of the all-time Blackadder classics. "Bells" where Blackadder unwittingly falls for his man-servant who's a girl dressed as a boy. "Chain" which has some of the highest quality writing of the series. Where some other Blackadder series had a few weak episodes, Series 2 shines above all others.

Summary: quality comedy
Review: I bought this DVD because I remembered enjoying it during my days as a student in England. Time has not withered Blackadder! Since it isn't 'topical', it's as funny now as it ever was.
There are only 6 episodes on this disc, plus a few extras, but I think it is worth the price. I have watched several of the episodes over and over again. The quality of the writing is good, but I think the strength of it is that the actors are amazingly well chosen. I can't think of a single living comedian who could deliver some of these deliciously dry lines, (usually weakly disguised insults), as well as Rowan Atkinson. Lord Percy is hilariously effete, Baldrick is a lovable dim-witted servant, Queen Elizabeth is a squealing, spoilt schoolgirl, and Stephen Fry is a great foil for Blackadder.
Buy this! You won't regret it. Anyone who appreciates well crafted comedy would enjoy this, particularly if they have an interest in history too!

Summary: Great Series...Great Extras!"
Review: It's all been said before...this IS one of the funniest series ever to come out of Britain....FAWLTY TOWERS is probably the best. The second and third seasons are truly hillarious with "...Goes Forth" close behind. The first season, I thought, was pretty flat...and Brian Blessed's infernal screeching voice was headache inducing. It is worth noting that the Black Adder II DVD has some neat extra features including a thing I had never seen before called "Black Adder, The Cavalier Years" which has Edmund Blackadder protecting Charles I from Oliver Cromwell's men only to end up as his executioner instead....despite Baldrick's "cunning plan". It's a slightly shorter episode then the rest but very funny. Highly recommended.
