Rowan Atkinson (Mr. Bean, Johnny English) and Tony Robinson star in this classic comedy that re-writes the annals of history. The Blackadder saga begins with a medieval tale of disaster and drollery. Edmund, Duke of Edinburgh, is the slimy and much-despised younger son of King Richard IV. Haunted by his uncle Richard III whom he killed by mistake, he lurks in the castle corridors of power, scheming to get the better of his splendid elder brother, Harry.
