Black Adder

Blackadder falls in love with his manservant.

The Queen appoints Blackadder as the new Lord High Executioner - a job in which no-one survives more than a week. Blackadder starts badly by executing a chap called Farrow two days early, so as to give him and the rest of the team half the week off. The problem is that the widow (sorry, wife) wants to see her husband one last time, and then the Queen annoyingly decides to pardon Farrow altogether.

Blackadder plots to outdo Sir Walter Raleigh.

Edmund is in trouble when he is visited by a debt-collecting bishop armed with a red-hot poker.

There are problems in the Blackadder household due to an embarrassing incident with a turnip, an ostrich feather and a puritanical fat aunt.

An evil prince, a master of disguise, kidnaps Blackadder.
