This is a superb scene from one of the funniest
\ntelevision series ever produced.
\nI have very little respect for the medium, especially
\nAmerican TV, but the British have always had a higher
\nstandard and have produced some of the best
\nprogramming on the planet.
\nBlackadder is one such production.
\nAs smart as anything you’ll see on the tube, top
\nnotch acting and great chemistry between Rowan
\nAtkinson and the supporting cast.
\nThe series, set in four different time periods, starts
\nin the late 1400s and ends during the World War One era.
\nEvery single episode but one had me laughing out loud.
\nThis is the last scene from the last episode of the series.
\nAs poignant as anything ever aired, and what makes this so
\nincredible is that the series could have ended with a
\nhumorous bang, that’s what people expected and that’s
\nwhat should have happened.
\nBut it didn’t.
\nThe producers, and Rowan Atkinson, chose to make a statement…<\/p>\n
