I think that without doubt, Rowan Atkinson's best work was the beautifully poignant and funny 'Blackadder Goes Forth'

http://www.bbc.co.uk/comedy/blackaddergoesforth/

The end episode has been consistenly voted one of television's greatest moments, and for all sorts of good reasons, showing that comedy can be intelligent, pointed, and damn funny too.

The best episode in Blackadder goes forth is the one that Captain Blackadder shoot the courier piedgon of general Melchett and goes to trial. The trial scenes are hillarious and completly insane.
And seing "Dr.House" in the series...I always laugh when I see the Blackadder series, even if is the n time I see it.

Dirty German Spy's from my favorite of all the Black Adder series, Black Adder Goes Fourth



And not forgetting the powerful sober ending as Black Adder and co finally go over the top

I always thought the ending was a bit sad for such a first class comedy. :hmm:

One of my favourites

Even bernard gets a mention

A classic ending to a classic series

If I remember rightly when it was first shown on TV it was only a day or two before Rememberance Day. A fitting tribute I think.

Who wouldnt love english humor? :rotfl:

I've always loved Atkinson & Monty Python, but I gotta say I've always loved 'Men Behaving Badly' the most. Just great!
