The team's all there but the quality isn't: this Comic Relief short feeling like it was written and filmed over a weekend. It retains the Blackadder charm and has a few funny moments, but you're glad it's only 15 minutes long. No wonder I'd completely forgotten about this.

Never seen Blackadder before. This was amusing, I guess. I enjoyed it, I laughed, but not much more.

Too short to really get into. Not really sure about why this came into being (was it a Comic Relief thing?), but I think it would have been a nice tidbit at the time given there were usually two years between series.

This special is basically a below-average episode in a non-existent season of Blackadder.
