The key to the IBlack Adder/I saga is the lineage of the title character's family, and this second series jumps ahead to the Elizabethan period and the life and times of Lord Edmund. Perpetually courting favor from England's mad Queen Bess (Miranda Richardson), Edmund is constantly walking a tightrope upon which he can either gain the world or lose his head. Also onboard are Tony Robinson as another generation of the dim-witted Baldrick, Tim McInnnerny as the luckless Percy, Patsy Byrne as Bess's companion, Nursie, and Stephen Fry as the imposing (in every sense) Lord Melchett. Part two of IBlack Adder II/I includes the episodes "Money," featuring a nasty bishop with a hot poker; "Beer," in which Baldrick falls for a large turnip; and "Chains," in which Blackadder is tortured by a Spanish interrogator. Hugh Laurie guests in the latter tale. I--Tom Keogh/I

 Best Half Hour of Comedy Ever December 7, 2002
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The episode called Money, with the Bishop of Bath and Wells and Black Adder's bitter wit, is the best half hour of comedy I've ever seen! It is so funny and well constructed, very creative and at times even cruel. There are many other brilliant Black Adder episodes, but this one is the best. I have never enjoyed a comedy as much as this one.
 Plenty of wit to go with the toilet jokes July 2, 2001

More episodes of the Elizabethan incarnation of the Blackadder clan. Part one of the Black Adder II series features three much stronger scripts, but these are plenty witty and played with flair by a brilliant ensemble. These three also rely more on fart jokes and toilet humor.pOf course, the latter fits in to one of these episodes - Beer - in which Lord Blackadder desparately attempts to hold a drinking party in his house at the same time as an intimate dinner with his VERY puritan aunt and uncle. The situation, however, loses a lot of its comic power when the aunt and uncle are played as grotesques (each of them sporting four or five large crosses apiece and slapping their nephew at any suggestion of sin). There would be more tension in the situation if they, and the risk to Edmund's inheritance, were real. Then the drunken bozos in the other wing of the castle would be a real threat. pIt takes little away from the delightful lunacy of these characters, however.
Great! November 24, 1998

This tape actually features Money, Beer, and Chains. Part I is the tape that features Bells, Head, and Potato. They are both excellent, especially the second part of the II series (I love the thingie-shaped turnip!).
