Black Adder Remastered: The Ultimate Edition DVD Review

11 November 2009 1:45 PM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »

I am an anglophile.  I will own up to that straight out of the gate.  I grew up watching every BBC program offered by my local PBS station.  That’s how I came to start my lifelong relationship with Monty Python.  That’s where my fascination with Red Dwarf began.  That’s how I came across Rowan Atkinson’s gem of a series Black Adder.  Brit humor fans click to find more after the jump.

I was shocked, utterly dismayed actually, by the number of my friends who consider themselves pop culture princes and princesses and yet weren’t familiar with the masterpiece that is Black Adder.  For those similarly uninitiated, Black Adder encompasses four series, each series containing six episodes a piece.  Each series is set in a specific time period and follows the Blackadder that lives during that age.  While the exact characters differ between series the actor and name stays consistent. »

[TV] Black Adder Remastered: The Ultimate Edition

27 October 2009 3:01 PM, PDT | JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news »

If it doesn’t already, it should sadden you that Rowan Atkinson’s most well known role is Mr. Bean. Sure, attempting to remove your underwear in public has its comedic merit, but only if you’ve never seen Atkinson’s stupendously idiotic turn as the self-appointed Black Adder in the times of olde. The series spans different eras with each of the seasons taking place in a new one. Then, to further the adventures of the unfortunately inept title character, three of the specials created after the series’ conclusion are included on their own disc. It’s not the first “all inclusive” set to be released but it does a good job rounding up most of the extras that have been created for the show over time – though true Black Adder connoisseurs will notice that some of the smaller events (The Shakespeare Sketch in 1989 or the theatrical show Blackadder: »
