In Richard Curtis and Ben Elton s award-winning comedy, Rowan Atkinson plays the ubiquitous Blackadder ably hampered by Tony Robinson as the loyal Baldrick who wreaks havoc throughout the centuries. Hugh Laurie, Stephen Fry, Robbie Coltrane, Rik Mayall, and Miranda Richardson are some of the guest stars joining in the fun. In Blackadder II, England s golden age is treated to the schemes and stratagems of Edmund, Lord Blackadder as he curries grace and favor from the stark raving mad Queen Bess.
