'Black Adder's Christmas Carol' is kind of the reversed version of Charles Dickens' 'A Christmas Carol'. Where in that story a bad man becomes good, here a good man becomes bad because being good has not brought him any fortune. That man of course is Blackadder (Rowan Atkinson).
When the spirit of Christmas (Robbie Coltrane) comes to visit the good hearted Blackadder he shows him his ancestors. They were wicked men, but fortunate as well. When he looks into the future and sees that he will become a loser if he stays good, he decides to become bad instead.
Rowan Atkinson is funny as always, Tony Robinson as Baldrick has the best moments together with Miranda Richardson as Queen Elizabeth and Miriam Margolyes as Queen Victoria. A great thing for fans, enjoyable for people who are not.
