Baldrick (Tony Robinson) devises yet another of his infamous cunning plans to help his ever greedy master Edmund Blackadder (Rowan Atkinson) con money from his gullible friends. The pair build a "time machine" from empty cereal packets and place bets with their friends as to when in history they will travel, retrieving various artifacts from their travels as proof, items which Blackadder already owns! However, in a strange twist of fate the time machine actually works and the pair are thrown back in history initially to the Jurassic period. Gradually the pair start to return to their own time stopping off at various famous times in history such as Sherwood Forest and the Battle of Waterloo but will they make it home?

    Although it lacks the non-stop punch of the series, particularly III and Goes Forth, the group still manages to be very amusing. Atkinson is quite an actor, and I give Tony Robinson great credit for surviving his role through the entire series. If it weren't for <...( read more)i>House, I'd be a Hugh Laurie fan. Stephen Fry was gearing up to hit paydirt with the contract to record the Harry Potter series.

    Hehehe!! A divine comedy that is both daft and brilliant hehehe!! I enjoyed this very much, seeing a number of my favorite english theater actors together, its silly yet its not that type of silly comedy that gives you a headache. This is like sweet candy. :)

    Hmmm...flixster's idea of "movies" seems somewhat flexible. Anyway, the BBC dug up Blackadder's corpse one last time, and it's all looking rather gimmicky and tired. Not too bad, but nowhere near as good as any of the series. Or the christmas special for that matter.

    wow the tv series of this was amazingly brilliant..i think that rowan atkinson (who plays mr. bean, johnny english, blackadder, n the cult 1980's tv series not the 9;0 clock news) is brilliant as blackadder...ive not seen this in ages but think that even though its just made 4 tv...( read more) its still funny 2 watch..its got a good cast of actors/actressess throughout this movie..i think that the director of this Television, Science Fiction & Fantasy, Comedy movie had done a good job of directing this movie because you never know what 2 expect throughout this movie its an enjoyable Television, Science Fiction & Fantasy, Comedy movie 2 watch
