About this listen

The complete soundtracks of all four Blackadder series, plus over three hours of specials and extras

Through the ages of Britain, from the 15th century to the 21st, Edmund Blackadder has meddled his way along the bloodlines, aided by his two imbecilic sidekicks, Lord Percy and Baldrick, and hindered by an assortment of dimwitted aristocrats. With cunning plans and cutting comedy, listen as the Blackadder dynasty plot their way through history…

The Black Adder – Set in the Middle Ages, this iconic first series follows the fictitious reign of King Richard IV, played by Brian Blessed, through the experiences of his unfavoured second son Prince Edmund “The Black Adder”

Blackadder II - The Blackadder genes resurface in Elizabethan England for more historical comedy

Blackadder the Third - Blackadder turns up as butler to the Prince Regent in the late 18th Century

Blackadder Goes Forth – The scheming Blackadder is dropped into the trenches during the First World War

Also included in this collection are eight Blackadder TV and radio specials: Blackadder’s Christmas Carol, Blackadder: The Cavalier Years, Blackadder: Woman’s Hour Invasion, The Shakespeare Sketch, Blackadder: Back and Forth, Blackadder: The Army Years, Blackadder: I Have a Cunning Plan and the Blackadder instalment of the TV series Britain's Best Sitcom.

Written by film and TV royalty Richard Curtis, Ben Elton and Rowan Atkinson, and starring comedy giants Rowan Atkinson, Tony Robinson, Tim McInnerny, Hugh Laurie, Stephen Fry, Miranda Richardson, and Rik Mayall, this is history at its grittiest and funniest.

It is the most pointless book since "How to learn French" was translated into French.

Brilliant for those who know it well.

Great audio version of the classic series. Yes it has been recorded straight from the tv series but if you have seen them then you will know what is happening. I was able to focus on the dialogue a lot more than watching it so found some humour that I didn't fully appreciate before. Well worth it.

You'll be laughing throughout, especially series 3

Loved it, seen them all and hearing it brought it all back.

Timeless (!!!) classic.

The last 2 chapters were interesting. But wish chapters were named, at least so I could look up who the contributors (to last 2) were!

Still got Such a crush on Blackadder II!

All four series plus one-off episodes together with documentaries and appreciation about the classic BBC historical comedy. For those on the go or without the benefit of the TV shows I have a cunning plan. Keep these with you for some first-rate entertainment.

A comedy classic. Highly recommended.
