Blackadder
|
|
Wise-cracking cynical character created by Rowan Atkinson in successive series for BBC television, each of them set in a different historical period (from the Middle Ages to World War I). The first (The Black Adder 1983) was supposedly during the Wars of the Roses, but the character was more convincing in Blackadder II (1985), a nightmarish comic version of the court of Elizabeth I. Blackadder's long-suffering servant, Baldrick, is played by Tony Robinson. A special edition was made in 1999 to be shown as part of the Millennium Dome attractions during 2000
