I've got to admire your balls ... maybe later July 11, 2007
The whole series is captured here on three CD's, two episodes per CD each split into around 8 seperate tracks.
Its superb stuff and laugh out loud funny. I was worried before buying about whether this would be a good enough substitute for the brilliant TV series but you needn't worry. It works really well. Since you are robbed of your eyes (so to speak) then you listen that much harder to the dialogue and I felt that I picked up more of the gems served up by the writers.
All the original cast are here. I wasn't bothered that the audience laughter is captured on the CD's - I was usually laughing over the top of them anyway.
Recommended as a way of killing those commuting hours or cheering yourself up or whatever. This was my favourite of the Blackadder series but the set is so good, I'm looking at getting all the others.
 Great, but audience laughter is a problem July 4, 2007

The trouble with cassettes of this nature is that they derive from the TV programme. On TV the audience laughter isn't so distracting because you have the vision too, but there should have been some way - even if it meant getting the cast together to redo the scripts - of omitting the enormously loud, ever-present audience laughter. One line by Blackadder - cue great audience laugh, second line by Baldrick - another shout of laughter -- repeat... These days, more and more comedies on TV are done without laughter tracks (or studio audiences), but it's a shame that it's too late for these works of genius.
better than baldrick's plum duff.... August 31, 2000

This comedy would sound good in chinesse, portugesse, Latin, farted, burped or even french (well not's go that far) Luckily it's in our mother tounge (how we get it out of her is another matter) and it is as hilarious as a thingy shaped turnip. As Charlie chaplin said to King George V about the rumours of the incredible belching German....you've gotta hear it to beleive it.
Excruciatingly amusing tape enjoyed by the whole family. November 28, 1998

Like all good humor base on an alternative version of the truth. Who can forget Baldricks famous "War Poems" and his exceptionally good coffee....hmm delicious !!!
