Blackadder – The Whole Damn Dynasty 1485–1917 by Richard Curtis et al

Blackadder – The Whole Damn Dynasty 1485–1917 is the definitive collection of scripts from one of Britain’s most celebrated and enduring television comedy series. Published in 1998 by Michael Joseph, this entertaining volume brings together the complete scripts of all four original Blackadder television series, written by Richard Curtis, Ben Elton and Rowan Atkinson, with additional material contributed by John Lloyd.

Starring Rowan Atkinson as the scheming, sarcastic and frequently unfortunate Edmund, the BBC television series became a landmark of British comedy, combining clever historical satire, unforgettable characters and some of the sharpest dialogue in television history.

The collection follows the misadventures of successive generations of the family across four distinct historical periods. Beginning with The Black Adder, set in medieval England, the series progresses through the Elizabethan court in Blackadder II, the Regency period in Blackadder the Third, and finally the trenches of the First World War in Blackadder Goes Forth.

An excellent addition to any collection of British comedy, television memorabilia, humorous literature or entertainment history. Particularly appealing to fans of Rowan Atkinson, Richard Curtis, Ben Elton and the classic BBC television series.
