Blackadder II (1986)
8/10
Better than the first series

Warning: Spoilers
The second series of Blackadder was much improved. Moving forward to the Elizabethan era, the storyline was very good and the characters were greatly improved (although Tim McInnerny's character 'Percy Percy' was very similar to the previous series and rather unnecessary).

The actors here retained thier characters names from the previous series. In this series Blackadder is a Lord (the great grandson of the Blackadder of series I) and often attends Queen Elizabeth I's court alongside the Queens follower and suck-up Lord Melchett and her former nanny turned side-kick Nursie. Blackadder is again aided by his servant Baldrick and fellow Lord, the bumbling Percy Percy.

The final episode again seemed a bit odd as every character was killed off by the supposedly dead 'master of disguise' Prince Ludwig who took the place of Queen Elizabeth I.
