Fantastic as Always, 17 Nov 2002

This is quite simply the best Christmas DVD this year and features Blackadder, Baldrick and all the characters from previous series. In a reversal of the original Scrooge story Blackadder starts off as the kindest man in all of England and when he is shown an alternative life by the Ghost (of all Christmasses) played superbly by Robbie Coltrane, he takes revenge on all those who used him when he was good by being the most horrid man in all England. Its a scream from start to finish. Buy it now you wont regret it.
