Black Adder

Blackadder is the name that encompasses four series of a BBC 1 period British sitcom, along with several one-off instalments. All television episodes starred Rowan Atkinson as anti-hero Edmund Blackadder and Tony Robinson as Blackadder's dogsbody, Baldrick. Each series was set in a different historical period with the two protagonists accompanied by different characters, though several reappear in one series or another, for example Melchett and Lord Flashheart.

This series takes place in England at the end of the War of the Roses but things aren’t exactly as you and I have always heard. What we’ve come to believe took place was in fact nothing more than a work of Tudor fiction, at least as far as this series is concerned. According to The Black Adder, Henry VII did not win the Battle of Bosworth Field, King Richard IV was not smothered in the Tower of London and actually had several sons, including his youngest son, Prince Edmund whom our story focuses on. Prince Edmund is not exactly “princely” though. In fact, he’d best be described as a bit of a sniveling coward. He has grand plans for himself though. The story follows Prince Edmund as he plots his rise to the greatness with his servant Baldrick and Lord Percy. - See more at: http://www.listsworld.com/the-best-british-comedy-series-of-all-time/#sthash.wxNy7psh.dpuf
