This magnificent piece of British Humor is from the BBC Television
Series “Blackadder” which aired from 1982 to 1989.
Rowan Atkinson was the title character and he was surrounded by
some of the best comedic actors of that era.
A very funny and entertaining series in every way.
This scene shows the range that Atkinson is capable of.
Study his face for some serious acting chops here.
The scenario is Blackadder was convicted of a capital offense
in a shady trial and must now face a firing squad.
That same firing squad visits him in his jail cell the night before
his execution, hilarity ensues…
