“I've come to think of you as a sort of son. Not a favourite son, of course, Lord no, more a sort of illegitimate backstairs sprog. You know, the sort of spotty squit that nobody really likes, but, nonetheless, still fruit of my overactive loins.”

“No sir, I do not. Unless, of course, the definition of genius in his ridiculous dictionary is 'a fat dullard or wobble-bottom; a pompous ass with sweaty dewflaps'.”

Here's the first ever Blackadder debate on Bluesky! Which is the greatest of the 4 Blackadder series?
4-3-1-2 for me. I hold the controversial view that S2 is a distant last.
Reply to this post with your order, and why your no.1 is greatest.
