Blackadder

by Richard Curtis

Are you looking for a book that is as cunning as a fox that has just been made Professor of Cunning at Oxford University? Then look no further. Blackadder: The Whole Damn Dynasty is the book for you. Here, at last, for the first time, are the full scripts of one of British television's funniest comedies. Follow the hilarious misadventures of the despicable Edmund Blackadder and his dim-witted sidekick Baldrick through four centuries of hopelessly mangled English history: from medieval nastiness, through Elizabethan and Regency glory, to the mud and sauteed rats of the First World War. Aside from the ball-bouncingly funny scripts themselves, Blackadder also features special bonus sections such as "Instruments of Torture in the Late Middle Ages" and "Medieval Medicine" ("1. Herbs; 2. Leeches; 3. Saw it off"), as well as an indispensable "Index of Blackadder's Finest Insults".
