Blackadder: The Cavalier Years

In this hilariously inventive short film created for Comic Relief, Blackadder, a cunning yet sarcastic servant played by Rowan Atkinson, is paired with the comically dim-witted Baldrick (Tony Robinson). The duo finds themselves in 17th-century England tasked with a noble mission: to shield King Charles I (Stephen Fry) from the relentless scheming of Oliver Cromwell and his staunch Roundhead followers. As political tension escalates, Blackadder's witty schemes and Baldrick's naive antics become the only defense against the encroaching danger. This whimsical historical satire offers a lighthearted look at an iconic period in British history while showcasing the unparalleled comedic chemistry between Atkinson and Robinson.
