Blackadder

A world-weary Captain Blackadder, veteran of numerous campaigns, suddenly finds himself in the trenches during the First World War and facing four million German machine guns. He is not a happy man. He'd be slightly happier if General Melchett's battle plans were less suicidal and if Private Baldrick's cooking wasn't confined to rat.
