Summary
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 servant and sidekick, Baldrick, and hindered by an assortment of dimwitted aristocrats. Now the complete history of Blackadder is collected together, including the four TV series: The Black Adder, Blackadder II, Blackadder the Third and Blackadder Goes Forth plus the special TV and radio episodes Blackadder’s Christmas Carol, Blackadder: The Cavalier Years, Blackadder: Woman’s Hour Invasion, The Shakespeare Sketch, Blackadder: Back and Forth, Blackadder: The Army Years (Royal Variety Performance) and Blackadder: I Have a Cunning Plan. Even included is the Blackadder instalment of the TV series Britain's Best Sitcom.
Starring Rowan Atkinson, Tony Robinson, Hugh Laurie, Stephen Fry, Tim McInnerny, Rik Mayall and Miranda Richardson. Written by Richard Curtis, Ben Elton and Rowan Atkinson. This is history at its grubbiest and funniest.

Doesn't work so well as an Audiobook
This presentation is taken verbatim from the brilliant television series and doesn't really work as an audiobook, especially as it was written for Atkinson who is a very visual comic (think Mr.Bean who is actually silent).
Often, the script itself isn't particularly funny but the audience are howling with laughter so you know something visual is going on but frustratingly, you are not in on it.
There is also more cross talk, sound effects and music than you would usually expect in an audio only production and although you can follow the plot, the sound of a horse galloping or a sword sweeping, doesn't really let you know what's going on.
It's a shame it isn't a radio adaptation because as it is, it's a pale version of the Black Adder we all loved.

So funny
I read a review here that said this was not suitable for an audiobook and that you would need to see visuals to understand what is happening every now and then. I do not agree with that, those "scenes" were few and far between and I could perfectly understand what was happening from the context. I really enjoyed this, and laughed out quite a few times. Rowan Atkinson really is a master of humour, and the only downside to this is that there is no more material to purchase.

The abbreviated version....
Maybe I am cursed to know the TV shows too wrlell, but this audible version is edited, in inexcusably random and arbitrary ways. Given the festive time of year, I began with Blackadder's Christmas Carol, and noticed two of my favourite lines missing within the first twenty minutes (and that's without really paying attention). They weren't even moments of offence, or such that might justify the mysterious omissions....and what on earth have they done to the conclusion of Blackadder Goes Forth? Arguably the most perfectly beautiful ending in TV history...ruined with a pointless 'ghostly' voiceover. How ironic that the 'updated' version of a show so fabled for its sharp wit, should presume its audience too stupid not to need spoon-feeding the most subtle (yet powerful) message in the series. This presentation has butchered a classic...what a pointless and cynical exercise.

Extremely disappointed
There are no titles for any of the 32 "chapters", so finding an episode or a special is a matter of guesswork. I know most episodes backwards, but lesser fans that me will struggle. Poor work and I expected far better for the price.

Great Comedy. Shame about the info available
Love Blackadder and a great listen. But as a product it loses stars due to the information available.
No episode / program titles. Just listed as Chapter 1, 2 etc.
Even if they just added a voice recording of each title I would bave been ok

Does not work
Black Adder is great to watch but, as so much of the humour is in the visual aspect, it just does not work on Audible.
Sorry to say, I will be returning this title

This doesn’t date
I can’t believe Blackadder dates from the eighties. It is still clever and funny. Wonderful cast.

Loved it, but........
A lot of what makes the tv show so great are Rowan's facial expressions and the show's comic observations and while I found it easy to visualise the shows scenes, listening to each episode can't compare to what is one of the best comedy shows ever produced
