The best series by far. Don't forget after this series there are 2 one off specials featuring different versions of Mr blackadder.

In WWI casualties actually went down when trench warfare was introduced. In the early days of the war when fighting was out in the open it was even worse you had nowhere to go from machine guns, artillery, and everything else that made WWI so horrific.

WWI Trench warfare...and you thought this couldn't get dark?

Repeating guns like the Spencer Rifle were essentially invented during the US Civil War hence the carnage of the Grant versus Lee campaign in 1864...an actual "machine gun" was invented in 1884 and the carnage only got worse by the time of WW1 as you rightfully note... The book "Guns of the South" by the master alternative history writer and military historian Harry Turtledove has South African apartheid extremists invent a time machine and travel back to the 1860s and try to supply the Confederacy with automatic weapons to create a racist empire... He is brilliant in weaving his PhD level knowledge of historical weapons and tactics into a multiple novel pulp fiction book series

Dr Crippen: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawley_Harvey_Crippen + "Six Of The Best" refers to corporal punishment, especially at England's private schools. > "Six of the best" is a famous school punishment. It meant giving a student six strikes on the bottom. In the U.K., teachers did this over the student's trousers. They used a thin, flexible stick called a rattan cane. Many boys wore thick pants for extra padding. <

Unlike the USA, college sports aren't a big thing in the UK, since every town has a football team (and/or a rugby or cricket team). However there is one event that garners national attention, and that is the annual Oxford University versus Cambridge University Boat Race. That's the event that General Melchett will give George a week off in April to attend.... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Boat_Race

As dark as it gets! To add to what Actuarial Lurker provided about the reason for the slaughter in WW1: > The phrase "lions led by donkeys" originated as a classic trope describing courageous World War I infantrymen (the lions) sent to slaughter by incompetent and indifferent senior commanders (the donkeys). While popularized in Britain following WWI and cemented by books like Alan Clark's The Donkeys, modern historians argue the trope is largely unfair. The British Army rapidly expanded from roughly 220,000 men to over 2 million, forcing many staff officers to learn on the job while adapting to unprecedented, rapidly evolving trench warfare technologies. <

Season 3 is my favourite but season 4 is definitely a very close runner up. It’s good to have Tim McInnerny back. He’s great as Captain Darling.

It didn't so much reduce the number of casualties, as it did change how and when soldiers died. Yes soldiers might not have been getting mowed down by gunfire out in the open, instead they still died in the trenches from shelling, stray gunfire, gas attacks and disease. Then you add on that a lot of the diseases were untreatable without antibiotics at the time, and you end up with soldiers who had survived the war still coming home as invalids. Out of all of my family members who fought in WW1, 2 are known to have died from shrapnel wounds due to shelling, 1 died a couple of months after the war ended from Spanish Flu contracted in the trenches, and 2 were never recovered, but are believed most likely to have died during shelling and gas attacks. Out of the other 6 only 1 returned with no issues, the rest were left with various levels of disability from the diseases they'd contracted in the trenches or shell shock. Not to mention Australia didn't really have a proper welfare system at the time, returning soldiers weren't always properly looked after, jobs available for women tended to pay a pittance, and if the 'man of the house' was unable to work the family was screwed most of the time. The trenches seemed to fix one problem, whilst also bringing several layers of other problems in its place.

Absolutely my second favourite series of Blackadder. :D

Season 4 was planned as the last season of the show. Rowan Atkinson tends to plan out shows in order to have stuff end on a high note instead of just keeping a show going until it runs itself into the ground.

Sorry to hear about what your family endured! My Great Grandfather (Father's Mother's Father survived WW1 fighting for France. His wife, my great grandmother died in 1918 during the Spanish Flu pandemic which led him to emigrate to the US soon afterwards as a widower with 2 young daughters. It surprised me that he was forced to fight despite being in his mid 30s with 2 small kids...
