With the same caveats mentioned by others I shall also vote "Never Boned" for the programs which gave rise to my user-namesake character Baldrick. The final scene of the fourth series was a fitting way to pay tribute to the grim reality of wartime which had been a source of "over-the-top" humor.
"...We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields."

I haven't seen Back and Forth (and judging by the comments, it's probably a good thing, too), but I did catch the first and second seasons, some of the third, and most of the fourth. That "horrid little man" is a great British comedy. -- Submitted By: (Robert) on March 9, 2010, 11:42 am - (0 votes)

Bevanite- Now to that point I would completely agree. In terms of the 'one-off' Blackadder specials, The Blackadder Christmas special ran circles around 'Back & Forth'. For my money, Back & Forth added nothing to the Blackadder franchise. -- Submitted By: (Friedrich_Feuerstein) on March 9, 2010, 9:51 am - (0 votes)

My vote of 'never boned' is based on the expressed premise that it's restricted to the four original series. If 'Blackadder Back and Forth' were included, then it would be the point where Blackadder BTF. -- Submitted By: (Bevanite) on March 8, 2010, 7:53 pm - (0 votes)

I voted that it "Never Boned", but I have to say that I wasn't as impressed with the 'World War I series'. The concept was beginning to show its fatigue in that one, but it was still pretty funny, for the most part. -- Submitted By: (Friedrich_Feuerstein) on January 15, 2010, 1:03 pm - (1 votes)

Awesome, awesome, awesome British show. Rowan Atkinson's only other really successful character, to be honest. -- Submitted By: (SamuraiPanda201) on July 21, 2009, 12:39 pm - (0 votes)

The only failing is Baldrick's intellectual decline. It was a funnier conceit in the first series when the cunning plan was not absurd. -- Submitted By: (johbru) on May 24, 2009, 8:44 am - (0 votes)
