        Sit back and guffaw as these hilarious episodes of the madcap adventures of Blackadder the Third unfold, featuring the wily Blackadder, his idiotic Royal Highness, and the indescribably cretinous Baldrick.
        England, 1768-1815.  A golden age of wealth, power and discovery though not for Edmund Blackadder, Esq.  In a situation that can rightly be seen as something of a slump in the fortunes of the previously aristocratic Blackadder family, Edmund is now butler and gentleman's gentleman to the "mini-brained" Prince Regent.  As always, the ever loyal Baldrick stands salaciously by his side.
        Episode 1: Dish and Dishonesty
        Blackadder takes on the task of saving his royal master from bankruptcy at the hands of the new Prime Minister.  Unfortunately, his attempts to interfere with the democratic process don't quite go according to plan as Baldrick in accidentally elevated to the House of Lords.
        Episode 2: Ink and Incapability
        Dr. Johnson approaches Prince "Thick-As-A-Whale-Omelette" George in an attempt to gain patronage for his new dictionary.  Blackadder is at first unimpressed, but when he learns of Johnson's enthusiasm for a novel by a certain "Gertrude Perkins", the royal butler's attitude changes.
        Episode 3: Nob and Nobility
        After the French Revolution, Francophilia and "Scarlet Pimpernalia" are all the rage in England, so Blackadder's intense dislike for anything French seems somewhat out of date.  But the lure of money can do strange things to a man's principles, even if it means being thrown into jail to face terrible torture and death.
                [This episode is no longer aired due to a dispute over the rights to the use of the "Scarlet Pimpernel" name. However, this episode appears on one of the Blackadder III videos currently available.]
        Episode 4: Sense and Senility
        The Prince of Wales hires two foppish actors to help him rehearse a speech, but Blackadder has other plans in store for the two impertinent prissys.
        Episode 5: Amy and Amiability
        The Prince is dead broke and no self-respecting princess will marry the randy royal...until Blackadder comes up with a deliciously devious plan!
        Episode 6: Duel and Duality
        Blackadder finds himself in the middle of a raucous duel between the lascivious Prince of Wales and the head-splitting, throat-slitting Duke of Wellington!
