Also, it has now aired on Sky Television and the BBC. If you missed the showing in TV, then why not buy it on video or DVD. You can order it through the Blackadder Hall shop. I can really recommend the DVD as it includes a 30 minute, behind-the-scenes feature and Blackadder: The Cavalier Years sketch.
