Is this any good?

I was wondering if this was any good, and if it's on par with the other ones. I've been tossing up whether to get it or not, so I'd like to get some opinions.
Thanks.

I think that it is the best one! it is absolutly hilerious. Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmundson have fantastic guest appearences in one of the episodes, Private Plane. I would totally recommend it! Hope this helped X xx X

9 years late to this thread but you were on the wrong board. This is 'Blackadder Back & Forth' (1999), not 'Blackadder Goes Forth'.

Not only that, but they are on the wrong grammar as well. It's 'hilarious', not 'hilerious', unless they meant some kind of pun about the name 'Hillary' or whatnot.

NO! an extremely pale shadow of Blackadder's former greatness.

I liked it..

[–] voldevie 19 years ago

I loved it. This was the first Blackadder I watched, so it is nostalgic for me. I think it's a bit underrated, really.

Still crack up at the bit where he punches Shakespeare. XD

OK. It did help. Maybe I will get it. I am after all, a Rowan Atkinson fan :)

I enjoyed it, it was great to watch Blackadders scheming finally pay off or once and the plan was so much like him. I also love the song at the end. Atkinson is definately the one holding it all together though, it really is just a repeat of all the stuff they'd done before, but that was the attraction of it is suppose.

I would rank it third, behind series 2 and series 3, although as has been mentioned, the episode 'Private Plane' is probably the funniest episode of them all (Although thanks mainly to Rik Mayall )

Again, 9 years late but you were also on the wrong board. See above.

This is not 'any good', this is absolutely MAGNIFICENT, in addition to being hilariously brilliant, mocking the french and being ridiculously funny. Plus, it has TIME TRAVEL in it.. need I say any more?

(Well, back when that meant something was going to be good and imaginative.. of course nowadays something having time travel in it means automatically that it's really, really bad, in addition to sucking like a Siamese.. So much I would wish to put to words that I can't.)

Someone was tlaking about 'ranking' things, so let's do it.

1) Blackadder Back & Forth (1999) - Weird that the best thing about Black Adder (weirdly spelled as 'Blackadder' here?) was made in 1999 instead of the glorious eighties. Oh, well.

2) The whole fourth season, 'Goes Forth' - number one being, of course, the Flashheart episode (forgot the name, but it's about the flying and all)

3) Third season - more fun, more funny and more energetic and quirky than the stuffier seasons.

4) Second season - kinda stuffy and boring, but has it's brilliant moments and hilarious episodes, plus, it has a very 'historical charm' that's hard to put to words that elevates it quite a lot. Much better than the DREADFUL first season.

5) ALL the other specials

6) ALL other comedy shows ever made in any history of any planet/baseship/location/non-location on any dimension in any plane of existence/non-existence/dream/imagination/plan/fanfiction

7) Every single movie ever made

8) Every non-comedy TV show ever made

9) Any book you haven't read

10) Anything lying in the bottom of the deepest ocean

11) The crud you can find in your ears sometimes

12) The brains of IMDb and now moviechat posters

13) The insides of the all the septic tanks in history

14) First season
