The first season lacks much, but my god do the other 3 deliver. Breathtaking comedy that Atkinson should be remembered for before Mr Bean.

Rowan Atkinson in his prime, phenomenally well written & witty, such a clever idea to have each season take place in a different time period

Every season has a different flavour and emphasis, but they are all absolutely hilarious!

Atkinson at his sardonic best as Blackadder actually gets funnier the further he gets from kingship. Amazing supporting cast and guests.

It’s witty, smart, and fast-paced - Rowan Atkinson’s presence, and the ensemble make this a classic comedy.

Classic British comedy series. Rowan Atkinson shines well beyond Mr Bean.

Its really old comedy, and some jokes are bit bad, but overall it does worth your time, especially if you like english humor.

Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares
Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares is a television programme featuring British celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay. The BAFTA and Emmy Award-winning programme debuted on Channel 4 in 2004. In each episode, Ramsay visits a failing restaurant and acts as a troubleshooter to help improve the establishment in just one week. Ramsay revisits the restaurant a few months later to see how business has fared in his absence. Episodes from series one and two have been re-edited with additional new material as Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares Revisited; they featured Ramsay checking up on restaurants a year or more after he attended to them. In October 2009 Ramsay announced that after his four-year contract expired in 2011 he would not continue with Kitchen Nightmares and would instead work on his other shows.
