Blackadder's Christmas Carol

Dickens' classic tale of kindness, truth and virtue completely ruined by having a member of the Blackadder family involved. Stuffed with deeply horrible people and groaning with cartloads of seasonal bottom jokes, it manages to squeeze a Victorian Blackadder and his Elizabethan, Regency and Space Age relatives into a huge pie of entertainment which will satisfy everyone - unless you're a beadle, an orphan or a long-dead member of the Royal Family.

Also includes The Cavalier Years in which Lord Edmund Blackadder and bottom-breath Baldrick remain faithful to King Charles who awaits execution - or do they?

This Christmas episode of the "Blackadder" comedy series was first transmitted on BBC1 in 1988
