Blackadder

[Jona Lendering]

I had never seen this part of Blackadder before: the final scene of the fourth series. It is comedy, and yet it is a beautifully tragic commemoration of the dead. Completely convincing. I think only the British are capable of reaching this quality.

I am deeply impressed. (Here is some related information.)

Indeed. I remember when I first saw that scene whilst watching the episode with a lot of other students at university. Absolute, stunned silence and a lot of 'dust in the eyes'.
Still has the same effect.

Beautiful.

To see that and to realise that it came about almost by accident and sheer improvisation, and not out of previous planning or even a storyboard.... I think it's pure art.

After this, they could of course never make another series.
