This comedy series revolves around the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The series depicts the diary with which Edmund Blakadeer Esquire lives with the personal servant of Prince Regent, Prince of Wales. Despite Edmund's intelligence and abilities, he has no personal wealth in spite of all that.
"Ink and Incapability"...is possibly the funniest [episode]. It features a suitably bombastic performance from Robbie Coltrane as Dr Johnson, and some of the show's best lines.
The third iteration of Edmund Blackadder was blessed in a way the others weren't--the only incarnation to make it out of a series alive, he would often display the ability to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.
