The Blackadder family fortunes have take a turn for the
worse between 1760 and 1815 thanks to the arrival of the Regency
period. Edmund Blackadder is butler to the imbecilic Prince
Regent with only the slow witted Baldrick to help him...
Series
three of Blackadder on DVD consists of six digitally remastered
episodes but as with previous Blackadder DVDs contains no
extra's of any merits.
While
the series is indeed worthy of a 9/10 rating on video the
DVD release is really not worth the money. A commentary by
Rowan atkinson and Richard Curtis is the least we could have
expected to see but no all we get are animated menus! whoopee
bleeding do!
Hopefully
the BBC will take note before releasing the final volume but
I doubt they will. This is an excellent series and it is a
shame that the BBC haven't given it the royal treatment.
