Created
for the Millenium celebrations (and shown by the hour in the Millenium tent at
greenwich), this one-off is centered around the possibility of time travel, with
the paradox of the risk of changing the present, and what the likes of Blackadder
would do with it, given half a chance. At times it's a bit too clever for
its own good, but all in all, a quite successful attempt to use the Blackadder
character to play games with history; applying Blackadder logic to inappropriate
situations. As always a great cast helped out, and old situations were revisited
with some success. Credits:
