Best writing for any sit-com that I have seen. 6 brilliant actors at the peak of their powers in this British comic masterpiece. Part of BBC folklore.

[@FirstnameLastname-py3bc]

Which 6?.. I noticed only 4 lead actors

[@samohara5187]

Edmund, Percy, Baldrick, Queenie, Melchett and Nursie would be the six lead characters I presume.

[@annoyboyPictures]

[@craigthornton1971]

A phrase I use more and more these days!

[@bkatbamna]

@@matan8074 Mr. Bean has phenomenal problem solving skills. His methods though are unconventional.

[@annadau8612]

Rowan Atkinson has a stutter, which causes him to struggle with the letter 'B.' He has to visualise the letter before he says it - which is why he puts extra emphasis on words containing that letter. Eg Bob. Later he created the character Mr. Bean (1990) for this reason.

[@blackmane1999]

But it must be so little that i cant even hear it. I thought his speech was perfect and an epitome of English speaking.

[@trainlover16]

No wonder he was considered for the role of Brains in the cancelled 1998 Thunderbirds film.

[@IshayuG]

I've personally theorised that he was Mr. Bean because a bean would be a very small brain indeed, however this sounds just as likely.

Fascinating what a nice beard, sharp wit and some Elizabethan era clothing can do to a man. Blackadder looks... really handsome. I'd say steaming hot but that must be my love for scalding smackdowns, sarcastic remarks and dry humour talking. (Although tbh Melchett and Baldrick look better in this season than in any other, so maybe it **is** just the facial hair and clothes.)

[@Nyctophora]

Rowan Atkinson was plainly born to wear Elizabethan clothes!

[@marinafrancesoldman1819]

You are right he looks hot in this season

[@constantino1889]

[@NyteMyre]

Blackadder II is such a step-up to Blackadder 1. I found the first season always so hard to get through because the first Blackadder was so unlikable (maybe intended). But Blackadder II is witty and intelligent.

[@darrellcoutinho805]

Ben Elton was involved from Blackadder 2>4

[@stevehhorvath59]

I completely agree with Lion Man's comment that the writing for Blackadder was top notch. One must pay close attention to the dialogue to pick up on the cleverly hidden jokes and innuendos in typical English style humor. Indeed, Rowan Atkinson seemed to have been in his element while he played Blackadder.
