A Master kidnapper is at work, taking people and demanding huge sums of money as ransom, Edmund advises the Queen not to pay up when a young man is taken. Blackadder himself is taken, along with Melchett, both wake up in the hands of the crazed Prince Ludwig, a German spy and Master of disguise. A ransom demand is sent to the Queen, she has seven days only, but refuses to pay up. They have to betray England to escape.
The second series of Blackadder is one of my favourite comedy seasons of all time, from any show, the whole set up, cast etc just work incredibly well. Chains is far from my favourite episode, but it's still a worthy conclusion, and has some funny moments.
Blackadder's torturing by the Spanish jailer is really funny, the dialogue is so slick. 'I demand to see the British Ambassador.'
Hugh Laurie is utterly brilliant, he's so funny, love the banter between Ludwig and Blackadder, utterly surreal.
Quite a bleak ending to round off the episode. Nothing compared to Series 4's though. 8/10
