Blackadder II, Chains

Rowan Atkinson's genes resurface in Elizabethan England in the guise of Edmund, great-great-grandson of the evil original. Blackadder, struck by Cupid's arrow, falls for Bob.

The sitcom that straddles the historical ages shows up in Tudor England. In order to save time, Edmund Blackadder beheads a man early. But then Queenie changes her mind...
