Blackadder - Blackadder Goes Forth - Series 4 (DVD 2001)

Hi.this dvd is a must for any Blackadder fans out there. In my opinion this is the best in the Blackadder series, followed very closely by Blackadder the third. Every episode is funny. And i never tire from watching captain blackadder (Rowan Atkinson) and his batman, Baldrick (Tony Robinson) and of course Lueftennant george,(Hugh Laurie) get up to all sorts of mischief.Buy this dvd and you will not be disapointed.

Seller cant be bothered with feedback, so why sell on e-bay. i wont buy any thing else from them, the item is fine, postage and packing fine but if they cant be bothered neither can i.

I needed this for English coursework but I thoroughly enjoyed the previous series' anyway and absolutely love this one. It may be a fair few years old but it's still incredibly funny even despite the clichés: "I have a cunning plan"

After a patchy start to the Blackadder series this one was by far the best with a wicked sense of humour (don't ever let Baldrick make you a cup of tea!)
A good 'investment' to buy as you can watch it again and again

Love everything about it. Poignant, funny, quirky It is a series we watch over and over again.Even tho it is a 'comedy' it so well describes the Great War.

Quite simply, the finest British sit-com ever made. How can you argue with lines like "And I hope your mother dies in a freak Yachting accident"

excellent.

once again a brilliant performance from Rowan Atkinson.

Rowan has such a humourous way about him that we totally enjoy.

I bought this to show students on 11/11, to remind them of the human side to Rememberance Day. It uses comedy to illustrate the harshness and madness of life in the trenches of WW1. The poignant ending generayed a moving discussion about the need to remember not only the dead but the soldiers who are still fighting wars today.

An absolute comedy classic. It has everything, clever wit to slap-stick. Laugh out loud or feel a little sadness. Buy it

Of all the series of Blackadder this was the most poignant-I don't get tired of watching it and also use it as a teaching aid

This DVD contains the whole series of Blackadder in the first world war. The writing is very very funny whilst also being poignantly biting which can sometimes leave you feeling a little uncomfortable. The series really brings to life the pointlessness of the war in the trenches without being preachy, and the final episode brings tears to my eyes every time. Well worth watching - I would recommend it to anyone.

The Blackadder series focuses hilariously on selected periods in British history. Blackadder Goes Forth (4th in the series) is set in the trenches during the First World War. Writers Ben Elton and Richard Curtis show their obvious love of history and excellent comic talents. I must admit I didn't like the first series too much, Atkinsons character hadn't firmly developed then. By the fourth series however, he shone in every department, making good use of the sheer quality of one liners and historical name dropping. Abusing Baldric (Tony Robinson) verbally and sometimes physically! And George (Hugh Laurie) buffoons his way happily throughout. George: 'Sir, what should we do if we step on a mine?' Blackadder: 'Well, usual procedure leutenant is to jump 50 feet into the air and scatter yourself over a wide area'. It's up there with the best, on a par with Fawlty Towers and possibly The Young Ones as my personal faves. I'd say Baldric and Manuel have to be the most laughed at characters in the history of British comedy. Timeless ? now rent it!

Great DVD the fourth of the series. Classic comedy that will never date and watching it will cheer you up immediately.

This series is an ageless classic, funny throughout but given the subject matter moving when it needs to be.

I bought this as a present for my boyfriend because it was the only series he didn't have, we both found it very funny. I love the way that the directors can carry Blackadder and Baldric's personalities through different generations.

These scripts are sheer genius. Blackadders' quips bouncing off the hilariously named Captain Darling (right from the first line of the first episode) are a delight to watch. Just wished there'd been more written in future situations.

Best of the bunch? I don't know about that, but it certainly beats the weak 'Back & Forth' anyday. Highlights are the return of Bob, and Flashhart, and the indespensible Stephen Fry as the buffoonish General Haig.
And what an ending - not a dry eye in the house (and ripped off by Angel of all things!)
