In the late 2000s, there was a convention and one question concerned what would have happened with a fifth series. The writers stated they’d had an idea and it would have been in the swiniging sixties, Beatles etc.

Tony Robinson mentioned that one, revolving around a group called "The Black Adder Five" with the drummer Bald Rick :-) Curtis had an idea that it was Baldrick who accidentally shot JFK.

Hi megsy. After you've finished this series there's Black adder "back and forth" where he builds a time machine, and "a Christmas Carol, based loosely on the Charles Dickens novel. ✌🏻❤🇬🇧

Wait till you hear Baldrick's coffee recipe 😂

There were also a few Black Adder Specials, such as the Christmas episode and also one for New Year's for the year 2000 which involved time travel and so included some of our favorite previous versions of the characters and also a brief visit to the future, so they might be worth putting on your list...

There is a British Archaeology series called Time Team and it is REALLY hard to watch after watching all the Blackadders, considering Tony (Baldrick) Robbins is the host!

with each Series Blackadder seems to get smarter and more cunning while Baldrick seems to get worse

they made the millennium edition also Blackadder drops down a notch socially everyseries, and the brits did indeed use the "slow walk " in WWI, tens of thousands died because of it

The slow walk was the only option they had at the time and when done correctly could secure victory unfortunately it required very close coordination between the advancing infantry and the artillery where one small error by either could and often did cause disaster. The slow walk was necessary because they were advancing directly behind a rolling artillery barrage designed to suppress the enemy and break up obstacles. Unfortunately communications at this point were usually field telephone's with all too vulnerable wires or massive radio's which advancing troops couldn't carry with them so if the infantry got bogged down and couldn't advance as quickly as planned the artillery would cease fire on schedule leaving them exposed in the open too far to assault the enemy trenches. Once the tanks were available the same tactic worked much better as they could suppress the enemy defenders and clear paths through obstacles while being close enough to coordinate with the advancing infantry. All armies at the time used the same tactic because it was all they had until technology gave them a better option.

Personally i have the DVD box but one can watch the episodes from daily motion, with good adblocker with no ads.

They could do one based on today's Tory party. Baldrick would be based on Sunak with a cunning plan to call a general election early. Melchett based on Boris and George would be based on Gove. 😁😁

The series The Thin Blue Line is meant to be a modern Blackadder.

Still one of funniest comedies I've ever seen 😂

Ruth i got into blackadder halfway through series 2,series 3 i loved hugh Laurie & frys cameo,series 4 my favourite who could believe a top quality comedy has pathos.just like delboy,bellie laughing one minute to tears the next..

This is my favourite of Blackadder

greatest sit com ever written

Each season got better and better, and they really hit their stride in the fourth. It was right to let Blackadder end at its peak.

I agree! Too many shows end way past their prime.

I always longed for another series of Blackadder but there is something to be said about quitting whilst your'e on top. Series like this, The Office, The inbetweeners and Fawlty Towers will always age well by leaving us wanting more

Another great reaction Megan Good to see you exercising your chuckle muscles 😂

Everyone of these is fantastic funny it's comedy at its best when it's also set against a tragic situation or the characters are stuck together you get both with this one, there was an idea to do another series set in the 60s but it never happened.

​@@s.rmurray8161 I always saw it as a clever name because it also sounds like 4th as in the 4th series as well as actually meaning 'go forth', so a bit intentional but perhaps they didn't have that in mind at all.

Series 4 is probably the apex and is the reason it didn't go on, I think. Mind you, they'll probably be a stage version with different actors by the time I've finished typing this.

The show is tracing the Blackadder family through time but you didn't see the first season, you should have started there.
