BRAND NEW UK REGION 2 DVD.
Among the many films and TV shows which add a new twist to Charles Dickens' classic tale, Blackadder's Christmas Carol is the most ingenious. Made between Blackadder the Third (1987) and Blackadder Goes Forth (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 Harry Potter movies, showing Edmund visions of past and future to not quite the desired effect. Hugh Laurie returns as the Prince Regent from Blackadder the Third and the entire court from Blackadder II (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.
IMPORTANT NOTE: THIS IS A EUROPEAN REGION 2 DVD AND WILL ONLY PLAY ON MULTI-REGION DVD PLAYERS IN THE US AND CANADA. IF YOU ARE NOT SURE WHETHER YOUR PLAYER IS MULTI-REGION PLEASE DO NOT BUY AS WE DO NOT GIVE REFUNDS FOR INCOMPATIBILITY.
