| The first VHS in this series with the first three episodes on itis some of the funniest television I have ever seen: The Slimy Prince Edmund, the obsequeous Baldrick and the witless Lord Percy are great fun, the supporting cast are wonderful. The writing is very clever. So what happened here? Did they accidentally burn their writers at the stake? Did they run out of time and decided to substitute frantic activity for plot? Did they just run out of ideas? It was a shame that they felt that they had to wrap it up like that. I would have been much happier if I had never watched these three shows. The first one was a bit of a snooze except for the Infanta of Spain's interpreter. The last two didn't even have that grace. I haven't seen any later ones although I do intend to forge on hoping to see some glimpse of the genius that informed the first episodes. Stranger, pass by on the other side of the road and leave this one lying in the ditch. |
