In 16th century England, the arrogant Lord Edmund Blackadder swaggers back into town in a bid to gain favour from the stark raving Queen Bess and to claim his rightful position in the history books...

Series two of Blackadder on DVD consists of six digitally remastered episodes but contains no extra's of any merits.

Personally, I have always questioned the merits of releasing DVD's with no extras. What is the point? Yeah, sure the quality is twice as good as VHS but is anyone really going to fork out £20 to purchase a DVD they already own on video?

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!
