Plot

The first ever series of Blackadder and featuring the first in a long line of obnoxious Edmunds. In "Foretelling" he wakes late and goes into battle on the wrong side. Next he is haunted by the dead king, and finally he becomes an Archbishop! More of the first series with the idiotic first Edmund. In the first part of this he has to marry the hideous Queen of Spain. Next he has to find a witch to cure the King of the plague and finally he plots with the seven most evil men in the land to usurp the King. Great stuff!
