Actually this is titled the Ultimate Edition. But in any case I finally have a copy of the Black Adder! Wherever you stand on which of the four incarnations is best, funniest etc. there is no doubt that Black Adder is a Crown Jewel in the British Comedy Pantheon. Not only does this contain all four series but also every other Black Adder special. This is a program that was graced with the presence of an astonishing array of talent. Rotating through the episodes are notables like Jim Broadbent, Hugh Laurie, Ralph Richardson, Tom Baker, Stephen Frye, Brian Blessed and Helen Mirren. Brit-philes will find even more.
Add to that the enormous amount of supplemental material including new interviews, commentaries with all the principles etc. and this has to be one of the best sets of the year. 6 Discs in very easy to handle elegant packaging
