4 out of 5 stars for this collection of Blackadder book scripts with bonus material.

My friend bought this for me many years ago knowing that I really enjoyed the TV series.

The first series wasn't as funny as those that followed it, in my opinion and that's why I've marked it down to 4 instead of 5 stars.

If you have seen any of these before it will help put some faces to the voices in the book. Very helpful for me as I am not a visual reader. nobody believes me when I say I've never experienced a single mental image when reading, but there it is.

The first series has Blackadder as the idiot, which was ok, but I think the writing improved with the later shows when Baldrick became the imbecile.

I could throw quotes at you from these scripts all day long but I won't do that;

"You'd probably rather have your tongue beaten wafer thin with a steak tenderiser and then stapled to the floor by a croquet hoop."

Baldrick; "Do you want to hear my war poem?"
Blackadder; "How hurt would you be if I gave the honest answer, which is I'd rather French-kiss a skunk?!"
Baldrick; "Oh, so would I, sir."
Blackadder; "Oh alright, fire away, Baldrick."

Ok, so I lied a bit, lol.

Reading these helped to lift my mood and spirits at a very difficult time. A lot of my friends on GR live in The States so they might not be familiar with this series. I urge you to give them a try. They are very funny.

Thanks for reading.
