Love series 4 so much. Don't have a watch along copy (save on DVD), but I am here for the before and after commentary.

Jakob1978

Ah, so looking forward to watching this series with you..I genuinely don’t think there’s any episodes of “Goes Forth” that are anything short of excellent. It’s such high quality throughout.

John Veitch

This would probably be my favourite of the four series, if it wasn't for all the coprophagia. So, series 3 it is, because Blackadder with Hugh Laurie >>>> Blackadder without Hugh Laurie.

Matthew Hanlon

Darling is one of those jokes that never gets old.

Troy Convers

FUN FACT: they don't actual eat real shit. It's actually fun-size Mars bars.

Ross Nolan

Except for pre-corruption Ebeneezer this is arguably the nicest Blackadder. As we've see he'll be ruthless in getting an opportunity to get out of the trenches (poor George!) but he's not otherwise as abusive as his ancestors, and his insults tend be delivered in a gentler way against more deserving targets (Baldrick's cooking really is that bad for instance.)

Matthew Hanlon

It’s cheap on Amazon prime, in the uk anyway

I'm going to enjoy watching this series with you. There is no weak episode. Fun fact: The name 'Darling' was Stephen Fry's idea. He went to school with a boy whose surname was Darling, who I'm sure had a tough time.

Supposedly this series was so popular among the British Army that for a time half the regimental mascot animals in the army were named Baldrick.

No spoilers for what is, for me, the greatest series of a great show. It's perhaps however important to mention that, even more than WW2, the First World War is arguably the biggest architect of how British society is structured today. The impact of this conflict on the British psyche and society was massive. We lost a greater proportion of our population (6% of the British population were killed between 1914 and 1918) in any war fought since the 17th century. The result was a massive shift in how society functioned. The old "Imperial" tradition (though it was to cling on until after WW2) was essentially wrecked here with the old aristocratic certainties ruined in a welter of blood and steel. It led to the accelerated rise of of the Labour movement among the working class, the emergence of the middle class as the real holders of economic power, and the reduction in primacy of the upper class. It led to greater emancipation of women and radical leaps in technology. The UK emerged in 1918 ultimately victorious but with much of it's romanticism stripped away forever. It can well be argued that British cynicism (and therefor modern British comedy) was born in the adversity of the trenches. If you keep all that in mind while you watch it you'll pick up on a lot more of where it's coming from. It's also worth remembering that, at the time of broadcast, there were many veterans of this war still alive. It's also worth keeping in mind, that while the commentary here is biting, it's not the whole history of WW1 politically or militarily. A lot of the lazy cliches about how this war was fought don't stand up to close examination. What we have here is a popular history of the First World War . . . not necessarily a true one. But that's a debate for a different place. I hope you enjoy it. It is never less than hilarious, but Christ is it dark.

Sebastian Bodine

I honestly think that this might be the series with the least bad Blackadder. A portion of his conniving instincts can be practically justified as a survival trait in this specific war. Yet, he's also got to work to keep George and Baldrick from getting themselves killed now so he can stab them in the back later. The motives aren't great but usually the action is better than what previous Blackadders have done

Ashtara Levin

Welcome to the best part of the series! It has been a treat so far, but still, I have been waiting for you to get to this.. XD I think a big part of why the "stupid" characters work, in this show at least, is due to Tony Robinson's performance as Baldrick. Watch interviews with him after the show, he was such a kind man that when they flipped the characteristics between his character's and Blackadder from series two onwards, he didn't take it personally, rather he viewed it as an improvement of their dynamic and an opportunity to do something new and funnier. He played Baldrick without a bone of resentment, off and on screen, and as a result you get a stupid character, but one that has almost no ego about it. Blackadder can kick him and insult him all day long - he doesn't care, which is (in my opinion) why his character and subsequent treatment also, never feel boring, old or overly mean. With George's character it is a bit different in my opinion, he doesn't understand when he is being run over by Blackadder, and so when he gets tricked by him to not speak about his painting, he simply takes it, and we the audience, feel horrible and wish him to get is due recognition - thus we are satisfied when we learn that instead of being rewarded with a trip to Paris, Blackadder's deception leads him - once again, into the arms of the danger he so fervently wished to escape. At the end of the day, Blackadder always seems to end up following Baldrick's plans - which then somehow seem to work, while his mistreatment of George or Percy is evened out by him not really getting what he wanted.

Troy Convers

Series 4, four brilliant episodes, one absolutely fantastic episode - and one OUTSTANDING episode. It's a sea change from 1-3 in that all but probably two characters are fictional, but the situation they're in is VERY real. And you've got to be a stunning writer to walk the tightrope between extracting humour out of a deadly serious time in history and not disrespecting it. Curtis and Elton are.

Troy Convers

Just seeing Tim Mccinnery playing the diametric opposite of the adorable but dim Percy is almost worth the price of admission alone.

Winterkin

All the actors had nailed down their timing and delivery by season 4. Especially Rowan Atkinson, who would often insist on multiple takes until he'd got his verbal rhythm just right.

Gray

Fair to say i'm happy your on season 4 as i've watched this 3 times now, next episode can't come soon enough lol

John Veitch

I didn't think fun-size Mars bars were that... dungy.

David Shadwell

This is the world weary version of Blackadder. He is so far removed from Royalty and wealth here that he is resigned to his lot in life. And for the most part, his desire to escape the trenches does extend to Baldrick and George to most of the time. This series does lean very heavily onto classism and how the war was fought. The generals at the top were still old school so had either spent decades in the army or were from the upper classes or both. They struggled to adapt to a new way of fighting a war (the French army were still in blue uniforms with shiny helmets at the start of the war for example) and held onto old school tactics to the very end. So you get a lot of truth told via jokes in series 4 (watch Geoffrey Palmer in the last ep as he sets out his tactics with the toy soldiers - knocks loads down but then stands up just one figure). It walks the line between ridicule and respect just about right - except for this episode. The ending is a let down for me but it is a minor blip in a great series. Fun Fact: Hugh Laurie (George) did go to Cambridge in real life and rowed for them in the Boat Race in 1980. His crew lost by a matter of inches to Oxford University and he has described it as one of the biggest regrets of his life.
