This is a wonderful collection of the scripts from the 4 series of the British comedy, "Blackadder".
Since I know the show so well, having seen it many times, I can hear the voices of the actors in my head as I read through each episode which just adds to my enjoyment.
Any fan of the show would love this volume. Sometimes I just read part of a page and I will undoubtedly find something that will have me laughing out loud.
Highly recommended.

Highly recommended.
is it classed as a book? well, it is "a papery thing held together with the strongy thing", so in Baldrick's eyes, it is a book.
as a huge fan of Atkinson and this series, it was always going to rate highly, but there is a joy in reading the scripts which is very easy when you have seen the shows as much as i have. however, i would be interested to know if anyone has read this without seeing the series??? and does such a person exist?

Laugh out loud funny - almost as good as watching the shows. If you are not yet acquainted with the Blackadder series, read this book. Then go out and get every episode you can on DVD and laugh yourself silly watching the funniest historical comedy series there is. You will never think about Elizabeth I the same way again, i guarantee.
Hilarious, wicked and wickedly written.
