About this listen
The complete soundtracks of all four Blackadder series, plus over three hours of specials and extras
Through the ages of Britain, from the 15th century to the 21st, Edmund Blackadder has meddled his way along the bloodlines, aided by his two imbecilic sidekicks, Lord Percy and Baldrick, and hindered by an assortment of dimwitted aristocrats. With cunning plans and cutting comedy, listen as the Blackadder dynasty plot their way through history…
The Black Adder – Set in the Middle Ages, this iconic first series follows the fictitious reign of King Richard IV, played by Brian Blessed, through the experiences of his unfavoured second son Prince Edmund “The Black Adder”
Blackadder II - The Blackadder genes resurface in Elizabethan England for more historical comedy
Blackadder the Third - Blackadder turns up as butler to the Prince Regent in the late 18th Century
Blackadder Goes Forth – The scheming Blackadder is dropped into the trenches during the First World War
Also included in this collection are eight Blackadder TV and radio specials: Blackadder’s Christmas Carol, Blackadder: The Cavalier Years, Blackadder: Woman’s Hour Invasion, The Shakespeare Sketch, Blackadder: Back and Forth, Blackadder: The Army Years, Blackadder: I Have a Cunning Plan and the Blackadder instalment of the TV series Britain's Best Sitcom.
Written by film and TV royalty Richard Curtis, Ben Elton and Rowan Atkinson, and starring comedy giants Rowan Atkinson, Tony Robinson, Tim McInnerny, Hugh Laurie, Stephen Fry, Miranda Richardson, and Rik Mayall, this is history at its grittiest and funniest.

The only flaw is the absence of the visual jokes
Under the assumption that most people have seen the original series, it's a joy to hear the masters at work. The writing, acting and sophistication more than make up for the visual gags not hitting the mark - for obvious reasons. For newbies, it may prove more of a problem which is why this doesn't get 100% from me.

A comedy classic. Highly recommended.
All four series plus one-off episodes together with documentaries and appreciation about the classic BBC historical comedy. For those on the go or without the benefit of the TV shows I have a cunning plan. Keep these with you for some first-rate entertainment.

Amazing classic
It’s a classic show the thing about not being able to see the actors you picture it in your head and you just try and picture it’s just a test of imagination

This doesn’t date
I can’t believe Blackadder dates from the eighties. It is still clever and funny. Wonderful cast.

Loved this
This is a collection of all Blackadder episodes and some shorts/documentaries. I really enjoyed it. I think the laughter tracks could be quieter but this didn't detract too much at all. Recommend!

Hours of listening pleasure
Even though I've seen the series, got the whole DVD box set. This is an absolute pleasure to listen to. Great in the car, exercising or just through the headphones.

excellent as expected
Most buying this will know the series already so that element will have few surprises - in a good way of course! That said, the additional interviews and commentaries at the end were unexpected and a delightful listen!

Classic 80s humour!
One of the best series from the golden age of comedy, long before the intimidation and sterility of political correctness.
