Blackadder is the generic name that encompasses four series of an acclaimed BBC historical sitcom, along with several one-off installments.
Blackadder and Baldrick are also saddled with the company of a dim-witted aristocrat - Lord Percy Percy (Tim McInnerny) in the first two seasons, George (Hugh Laurie) in the third and fourth - whose presence he must somehow tolerate.
Blackadder the Third is set in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, a period known as the Regency.
