The complete soundtracks of all four Blackadder series, plus over three hours of specials and extras
Through the ages of Britain, from the 15th century to the 21st, Edmund Blackadder has meddled his way along the bloodlines, aided by his two imbecilic sidekicks, Lord Percy and Baldrick, and hindered by an assortment of dimwitted aristocrats. With cunning plans and cutting comedy, listen as the Blackadder dynasty plot their way through history…
The Black Adder – Set in the Middle Ages, this iconic first series follows the fictitious reign of King Richard IV, played by Brian Blessed, through the experiences of his unfavoured second son Prince Edmund “The Black Adder”
Blackadder II - The Blackadder genes resurface in Elizabethan England for more historical comedy
Blackadder the Third - Blackadder turns up as butler to the Prince Regent in the late 18th Century
