Save the king
1 November 2016
"Blackadder: The Cavalier Years" is a very short, and very funny, episode of the adventures of one of the Blackadder's characters as played by the legendary Rowan Atkinson.

The story doesn't really matter, but goes around King Charles I being on the run from Cromwell and hiding at Blackadder's place. Of course, Cromwell discovers quite fast that King Charles I is there and apprehends him. Edmund will try to save... will try to do what interests him best, as always.

For a very short episode, just 15 minutes long, this "The Cavalier Years" pucks a punch and it's full of very funny jokes. The delivery is great, and all the actors do an amazing job on keeping the things funny and very silly. Probably at this stage they could all have played the characters in their sleep, but still do a great job in making them funny for the viewer. The production values and the camera work are just OK, but that is not what really matters.

A great extra in the "Blackadder"'s world.
