BBC WORLDWIDE PUBLISHING Blackadder's Christmas Carol
Among the many films and TV shows which add a new twist to Charles Dickens' classic tale, <I>Blackadder's Christmas Carol</I> is the most ingenious. Made between <I>Blackadder the Third</I> (1987) and <I>Blackadder Goes Forth</I> (1989), the inspired concept is to recast the self-serving Edmund Blackadder (Rowan Atkinson) in Dickens' Scrooge role, but rather than a misanthropic miser make him the most kind-hearted man in England. Tony Robinson's Baldrick is as moronic as ever, while Robbie Coltrane plays the Spirit of Christmas like a forerunner to his Hagrid in the <I>Harry Potter</I> movies, showing Edmund visions of past and future to not quite the desired effect. Hugh Laurie returns as the Prince Regent from <I>Blackadder the Third</I> and the entire court from <I>Blackadder II</I> (1986) is reassembled for japes involving a merry seasonal death warrant. Miranda Richardson is outrageously capricious as Elizabeth I, then takes the character a stage further in a decadent space opera future which also sees Patsy (Nursie) Byrne as an android. Though not quite as laugh-out-loud funny as the regular <I>Blackadder</I> series this is an excellent Yuletide special. <p> <B>On the DVD:</B> <I>Blackadder's Christmas Carol</I> offers nothing extra on DVD other than the inclusion of optional subtitles. The sound is mono but crystal clear and the 4:3 image is good considering the source material is a TV studio production shot on video. --<I>Gary S Dalkin</I>
