Iconic Brit sitcom Blackadder is celebrating its 25th anniversary. Blackadder traces the deeply cynical and self-serving lineage of various Edmund Blackadders. Spanning the Middle Ages to the frontline of World War I, a pre-Bean Rowan Atkinson began as the villainous and cowardly Prince Edmund Plantagenet, Duke of Edinburgh; he of the scheming mind and awful haircut. Blackadder: The Whole Rotten Saga is on GOLD (formerly UKTV Gold) on October 9 at 9pm, followed by Blackadder's Most Cunning Moments on October 16, which features cast members and celebrity fans rating their favourite moments throughout the series.

One of favourites, I’ll certainly be watching some of it, although I could be a couch potato and watch all of it!
