Hilariously funny.
Black Adder III finds our hero, played by Rowan Atkinson of course, the butler / assistant to Prince George during the reign of Mad King George.
This season follows the same successful formula as in Black Adder II: intelligent plot and dialogue, clever use of actual historic events and characters, incredibly funny skits and situations.
Baldrick (played by Tony Robinson) is still there. Hugh Laurie, who had a minor part in Black Adder II, is Prince George. Helen Atkinson Wood appears as Mrs Miggins, as does Stephen Fry as the Duke of Wellington and Robbie Coltrane as Dr Samuel Johnson.
For me, this is the best of the four Black Adder series. All four were brilliant, but S3 is the pinnacle. Sharp, clever writing and dialogue with some wonderfully over-the-top scenes. Superb.
