Blackadder

Attraverso quattro serie e alcuni speciali, Edmund Blackadder e il suo untuoso compagno Baldrick mettono in atto astuti piani mentre Edmund cerca di approfittare di situazioni disperate. Le vicende hanno evidenti parallelismi storici, dal Medioevo all'era elisabettiana, dal dominio del folle Giorgio III alla Grande Guerra.
