Blackadder and Shakespeare
Blackadder: The Cavalier Years
Blackadder's Christmas Carol
by Richard Curtis and Ben Elton
Starring Rowan Atkinson as Ebenezer Blackadder
with Tony Robinson as Baldrick
Dickens' classic tale of kindness, truth and virtue completely mucked
up and ruined by having a member of the Blackadder family involved.
Also Baldrick, of course, the man you can rely on to turn a Christmas dinner
into a dog's dinner, as long as the dog isn't particularly fussy.
Stuffed with deeply horrid people (many of whom are gigantically fat)
and groaning with cartloads of seasonal bottom jokes, it manages to squeeze
in not only a Victorian Black Adder but also his famous Elizabethan, Regency
and Space Age relatives into a huge pie of entertainment that will satisfy
all but the most discriminating viewers.

Opening Song:
He's kind and generous to the sick
He'd never spread a nasty rumor
He never gets on People's wick
And doesn't laugh at toilet humor
Blackadder, Blackadder
He's sickeningly good
Blackadder, Blackadder
As nice as Christmas pudd
