As I say, the first series isn't the best, but fight through it, the last 3 are brilliant. As well as Rowan there are appreances and guest appearances by Rik Mayal (Guest) and also, Steven Fry (Permanent, great characters).

Oh, and Hugh Lory😂.
Love him in this show!
Oof, fight through 3 eps is a tall order, especially if I have to convince others to watch with me. But I think I can manage
In that case, just the the 1st series off, or watch it on your own, when your husband has gone to bed😬😜.
Good idea. He's not too bright, shouldn't notice the continuity gap
I won't ruin anything for you, but as we're both wordsmiths (Of a fashion), there's an episode, during the 3rd Series, that involves Dr Johnson, who actually wrote the first English dictionary. It is so so so funny😂😂😂.
I promise that is the only spoiler I'll post. He's having a piss up with his mates, and his Puritan Aunt and Uncle turn up😂😂😂😂.
I loooooove Blackadder! Absolute classic show.
Rowan Atkinson is amazing 🤩
And Ben Elton (who I adore) also co-wrote.
Funniest stand up show I’ve ever seen in person was Ben Elton.
