Episode Guide
Review
Darker than the later series, the first set tied itself closely to history,
with added Shakespearian dialogue, many set piece speeches and the subtitle
"A Situation Tragedy".
Audiences weren't huge, some of the plots were a little slow compared
to the later series - but there some great storylines, marvellous cameos
from Peter Cook and others, and a fantastic cast.
Clearly a classic, from episode one.

The Theme Song
The sound of hoof beats 'cross the glade
Good folk, lock up your son and daughter
Beware the deadly flashing blade
Unless you want to end up shorter
Black Adder, Black Adder, he rides a pitch black steed
Black Adder, Black Adder, he's very bad indeed.
Black: his gloves of finest mole
Black: his codpiece made of metal
His horse is blacker than a vole
His pot is blacker than his kettle
Black Adder, Black Adder, with many a cunning plan
Black Adder, Black Adder, you horrid little man.
