Release date: 23rd December 1988.
Story: In a parody of the Charles Dicken's story, Ebenezer Blackadder is the most kind and generous man in Britain. And sadly everyone keeps taking advantage of him. Until one night, he has a visit by the Spirit of Christmas, who tells him about his past incarnations and what horrible people they were. This then sets in motion that will change Ebenezer Blackadder forever.
My thoughts: What I like about this Christmas special is that Blackadder started off as a kind person. But then changed into a bad and selfish man that we all know. Which is a complete reversal of the original character in A Christmas Carol. Also there is an interesting part where Blackadder asks to see the future. And we are shown where if Blackadder is bad, his descendances will rule the entire universe. But if he remains good, they'll just ends up being a slave to Baldrick's descendant. Also Robbie Coltrane is great as the spirit of Christmas.
My score: Four stars.
