Blackadder II - Season 1
It is a comedy series that epitomizes the reign of Queen Elizabeth I (1558-1603), which Miranda Richardson has depicted in a distinctive way. The series deals with the main character Edmund, Lord Blakadir, the grandson of the original Black Adder. The Lord began to face different paths as he dealt with Lord Chamberlain, Lord Melchite, his rival, and the Queen's demented former nanny Nursie.

Flashheart aside however, "Bells" is a strong premiere and a breath of fresh air after the struggles of Blackadder season one.

Given the caliber of these performers, one might be tempted to put the show's renewed success down to that alone. But you also have to figure in the fact that Curtis was now writing with Ben Elton.

Ben Elton ed Richard Curtis on scripting duties for Blackadder II...the character was given a brain and the sharpest of tongues, and everything changed, allowing Rowan Atkinson to deliver one of the great comedy performances in the role.
