A BBC TV Christmas Special, plus a comic relief programme starring Rowan Atkinson, Hugh Laurie, Stephen Fry and Tony Robinson.

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, ‘The Christmas Carol’ manages to squeeze everything 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.

And for second helpings, ‘The Cavalier Years, set during the Civil War, in which Lord Edmund Blackadder tries to remain faithful to King Charles despite the fact that his about to have his head cut off by bottom breath Baldrick.
