The Black Adder<\/strong>
\nThroughout the ages, men of flair, faculty and outstanding courage have contributed to England’s glorious heritage.

\nEngland 1760 – 1815. The annuls of the Blackadder family continue, although their fortunes have rather plummeted with the advent of the Regency period. Edmund Blackadder, butler to the Prince Regent, veers from calamity to disaster with very little in the way of constructive help from his imbecilic Lord and master, oh and Baldrick, of whom the least is said the better.<\/p>\n
