TV Review: Blackadder. The Cavalier years.

Release date: 5th February 1988.

Story: In 1648, King Charles the first has lost the English civil war, and is in hiding at Blackadder hall. Where Lord Blackadder and his assistant Baldrick remain loyal to him. But Oliver Cromwell soon finds him and takes him to the Tower of London.

My thoughts: This 15 minute one off was a special created for the first ever Comic Relief day. Stephen Fry based his interpretation of Charles the first on the current Prince Charles. And it is interesting how Blackadder quickly change his plans from rescuing King Charles to how to get his hands on his money and wealth.

My score: Three stars.
